cloverfield best film ever

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2008)

I have now watched my new favourite film cloverfield it may take awhile for you to adjust to the way this is filmed as its all real and on a hand-held camera its all over the place and could make you motion sick and give you a headache.
Cloverfield is worth the obsession and the months you put in to following this wondering what it was this is a monster of a movie a complete reinvention of the disaster movie and monster movie.
Well lets start with the big part beth is super hot you really care for her and want them to save her but never sure if she is alive or dead and even if she is still in her apartment.
OK now down to the documentary as this should be as this should be watched not a movie the monster looks spectacular and his little minions look great as well they reveal him very slow but after the small clip in the trailer ever little clip you see of it make it even cooler then near the end with a great full on view he really looks great.
Plus the monster is actually only a backdrop to the documentary if you understand what i mean the documentary is about rob, lily, hud, Jason and Marlena story of survival and they journey to find beth and avoid the giant monster trying to destroy the city and fight there way thought some epic street battles between army and monster witch on hand-held look great as they run down streets and the monster appears from behind a building and rockets and gun fire shots over there heads.
This is a very atmospheric and scary documentary not scary like horror movie stuff but it seems very real and the journey and emotions the survivors go through and challenges they face you really feel for them.
It feels like there is no script it feels like found hand-held footage and this movie is a landmark genre film a true milestone in film history.
The effects and destructions is spectacular you need to see this at cinema it adds a complete new atmosphere to the documentary you wont get on the DVD.
When you watch this it really helps if you had been following it from the start and you know who all the characters are and the back story to this documentary as you understand something about the monster and are more attached to the characters as you feel you know them from there myspace pages and you want them to save beth more as you do like her and she is stunning.
I think this will really kick start jj Abrams and Matt reeves career now i have never heard of Matt reeves before this but will now check out any of his films and jj well even before this i was a fan but now really has secured a place at the top of Hollywood A list.
Good Bad Robot
