Absolutely loved it

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2008)

I'm pretty sure nearly everyone knows about Cloverfield's premise by now- a giant monster is destroying the city and it is filmed from the point of view of a hand-held digital camera, similar to the effect of The Blair Witch Project.
At first it may seem to be just like any other monster movie and nothing we haven't already seen. But if you think that, you are dead wrong.
The one big thing different about Cloverfield, is that the monster's origins or motives of attacking isn't explained, and is probably not destroyed in the end either, though that is one of the many things left in the open.
This is a very good thing because it's much more fun to have questions about what's happening, and to come up with your own conclusions.
Not only that, but there are some great special effects and thrills in the movie which make it more effective.
I will definitely be giving Cloverfield repeat viewings, I may possibly see things I didn't pick up before. An awesome, awesome film.
8/10
