Finally a blockbuster not ruined by CGI

Rating: 7/10 (6 February 2008)

I watch Cloverfield last night after months of hype. I rarely get impressed anymore by CGI and feel director's often ruin films by relying on it too much. But I couldn't help but be impressed with this.
At the start I was a little concerned with the Blair witch project style filming. At times it can send you dizzy, but after awhile you get used to it and it really does make the movie stand out from all the other disaster blockbusters. You feel as if you are there with them making it feel less like a Hollywood production i.e more realistic. Really clever and risky idea but it definitely pays off.
Overall a really good film that kept me hooked till the very end. Cant wait for the sequel!
