Awful

Rating: 1/10 (21 January 2008)

The movie made me dizzy and almost throw up soon after it started due to the shaking angles from the home video camera. The intro looked fine for the first two minutes, then I started wondering when it will finish and when the scene can change to something taken by a regular video camera. To my surprise, the intro went on and on with irrelevant details, and the camera continued to move violently for about 20 minutes before the monster came, when the shaking scenes finally became intolerable. I had been struggling of whether to give up, because I was tortured severely by the sickness caused by the shaking camera but meanwhile still hoped that the movie will at some point turned as exciting and spectacular as the trailer...
I was totally disappointed and left the theater half way of the movie, after several people left ahead of me. The movie amazed me by its lack of basic elements of a watchable movie to the greatest extent. It is mysterious to me how people can make stuff like that into a movie. I was pretty frustrated that I wasted my time, money and expectation to a movie like Cloverfield...
