I have to write a review.

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2011)

I loved the trailer of this movie. And i had so high expectations when i finally started to watch the full movie. For my surprise - Cloverfield was much better than i could imagine the best movie ever to be.
Not because of the story, there pretty much wasn't any, and not because of special effects, tough they were great. Here is why:
The movie was so realistic. For real. I wouldn't even call it a movie, it is a future documentary. Because if something like that should happen someday, what you see in the movie, would be exactly how i imagine it would go down.
The cast and acting. Actors and actresses were all perfect, not because of their looks or anything like that. They acted exactly like human would in a situation like that. Furthermore. Every last person in the movie acted the way i believe they would act, it wasn't just endless terror and panic, people weren't headless sheep, running allover, at least most of them managed to stay clearheaded, and i believe that is how we would act to a situation like that one.
The alien. I believe the monster was a alien, there were many things to support that, but that is only my opinion, so don't worry, i didn't spoil anything :)
I usually don't like monster type aliens, i prefer human like ones. But have to say, however weird it was, i am sure it did hes job, he wasn't supposed to be intelligent, he had to be scary.
Here comes things that may be considered as SPOILERS!! So don't read this until you have seen the movie.
I absolutely loved the scene, where for the first time military strike back with infantry and tanks, it was SOO real. I felt like i was in the middle of the battle. Some reviews complained, that how come the tanks got there so fast? To them i say: I was so into the scene that i didn't even wonder that, but if you want to know, then here is how i think it is possible:
i don't live in USA, but i believe that US army keeps some tanks near NY, it is the biggest city in America.
Do you really believe that US army couldn't spot that HUGE monster before, maybe hour before, the drunk party guests?? To me the timing seemed perfect, and i loved that the bombers showed after what might have been like hour-two.
I loved how the military gave some of their spots on helicopters to some strangers, and took the hummers. Facing pretty much certain death.
I loved how even tough you knew that something will attack in this movie, it still got you off guard. It came on a moment you would not expect.
Loved the alien missiles/thrones... were very alien-like.
Loved how people started to take pictures of statue of liberty-s head.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT.
With a movie like cloverfield you have to think about movie named Skyline. They are similar, with the difference that skyline is the worst movie ever created, and Cloverfield might be the best.
And another thing i read from other reviews: People asked that how come the camera survived the nuclear attack? Or the impulss should have erased the tape.
I Ask!! Why in the hell you think it was a nuclear attack??? WHY? No one said that. I actually don't think that the covernment would give a go for a nuclear attack on NY just because one bombing and couple of tanks weren't able to kill it.
Loved the ending. If you found some things unbelievable in the movie, then ending was not one of them. Great ending makes the movie for me.
I am sure there were many-many great things i am forgetting to mention, but i have to end this review someday.
In conclusion... THIS WAS THE GREATEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN, i believe, SINCE EVER.
