Totally underestimated!!!

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2008)

I think I understand why this movie is so underestimated. It is clear that we have not seen a truly re-invention in a long time and many viewers doesn't know how to react. And the thing is, all the main good reviews and press notice that this film has received are not for nothing. All the praises have been given by people, I mean critics, who actually knows a lot about cinema and storytelling, characters development, etc.
I am not saying this is a sort of citizen Kane, just referring to the fact that the form, the way this movie has been made, may distract from the substance and the value this piece has as a drama.
Marlena, for instance, is a great character, and it totally shows a lot of work in his creation and performance.
I think this film should be called "Cleverfield", because it is not just a success regarding marketing campaign (the filmmakers actually create a parallel universe), but also as an entertaining film.
It impressed me, and not because of "the monster". It simply took me by surprise in a good way.
