A new approach to movie making and filled with strengths and weaknesses...

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2008)

Cloverfield was my first ever movie watched in a first person's point of view. i was very impressed and engrossed into the movie as though i was also experiencing the mayhem. nice cinematography but had errors as in lack of depth in storyline and run time ( 70 minutes including a 7 minutes of credits). but once again the flaws i mentioned might not be flaws but just my lack of experience in watching such films. but in a nut shell, it was a 70 minutes roller coaster ride which roots you to your seats. could have given it a 8.5 for the rating if not for what i saw as "flaws". nevertheless watch it the Dolby surround system was a huge strength for this movie has it makes you 'feel' the movie. overall, good effort.
