I am at my wits end

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2008)

I have been reading various comments how this movie was awful and they should not have been shaking the camera. This is supposed to be someone recording the events of the horrible day that they are going through. Do you hear music?? As in a traditional movie!!! Except for the party scenes. The only music played.
Does anyone have an imagination anymore?? Or do you need everything served to you on a silver plate?? I read somewhere that the movie had no ending? The tape ran out!!!! That is why the previous recording was being seen. Also I think a bomb does not agree with a camera very much.
I am not saying I love what I watched but I do like it very much, It was very original. This is why we go to the movies to see something memorable. I watched this and when it was done and I left the theater I was expecting people to be running around for dear life. I was immersed in this movie for the time it was on the screen.
I read about the hype and saw the trailer during the beginning of transformers, which some of my friends thought was an excellent movie. I didn't think much of it during that time. Then I got into more investigation. Maybe a month before this was going to be released and I got into the story a little more and was excited to see it.
My wife thought it was a bad movie because she did not know a little back story about it. I don't what to get into arguments about how some people got sick, I'm not sure about how true that is. especially when not one person did in the theater I was in.
I liked what I saw and I imagine if it really happened, and NYC would be the worst place for it to happen in. Especially with all the people living there. I have one more thing to say, To all the people that think the people who made this are now making money from 9/11 because of various scenes that look the same, Think about it!!! If a building falls down it is going to make debris and something really big goes walking down a street, it's going to wreck that street.
Another thing to the 9/11 people, Watch "9/11" (look it up on IMDb) It was supposed to be a documentary about a probationary firefighter, But the film makers recorded in one of the towers what was going on that terrible day. That film is real compared to cloverfield and the man running the camera couldn't keep it straight. But I see some things that are the same in both experiences. I see fear and trying to help people you think you know and find out more about them.
I will end this with one more thing, Some people need more imagination especially when watching anything.
