I guess, the biggest spoiler is that if you've seen the trailer in the theaters a few months back, you've seen everything... I'm not kidding.
It's a one trick pony, stretched painfully to a little over an hour. The fact that the majority of "professional" critics gave this "movie" a good rating is the proof if we ever needed one that they're on Hollywood's payroll. Those positive reviews were essential for the viral marketing to work though... and I got tricked into expecting something good from the "LOST" guys. I've been disappointed by movies many times before but I'd never felt ripped off of my money like this yet... You can look online for the clues that gives you a glimpse of the real story all you want, the movie is still an empty shell scientifically engineered to make you give your $10...
My wife literally got sick and had to step out the theater for 10 mn, she closed her eyes most of the time after she came back. Whoever gets my wife sick needs to be punched in the face in my book.
I stayed, hoping until the end for something more... something that never cam. When the end credits started rolling, I was angry and frustrated. I guess, the best way to summarize what I was thinking would be: "You gotta be kidding me..."
It seems Hollywood officially declared war on our intelligence with the Cloverfield marketing gimmick. They tricked me once, it won't happen again.
