Good Show

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2008)

Glimpse of Cloverfield Monster Unique story. Takes place in NYC. Many of the images very reminiscent were of 9-11, with was a little disturbing. However, the mode of story telling was really unique and Kudos to the makers of the film. Also the actors did a really good job, not something you generally notice in a film of this nature.
I really is Blair Witch meets Godzilla (Japanese version too). But in the best way possible. The camera work, like Blair Witch, was likely to cause some Nausea, but was cool cause it really felt like the perspective of someone right in the middle of everything going' down. Plus the character Hud, who spent 99 percent of the movie behind the "documenting" camera was probably my favorite character.
We watched the DVD extras after the movie too; alternate endings were a waste of time but the "I Saw It! It's Alive! It's Huge!" feature is about the making and design of the monster and added a really unique perspective to the monster which of course anyone in the midst of a monster Attack on Manhattan would never even consider, nor would it matter but it makes the watcher (like it's designers) consider the creature more sensitively.
If you enjoy Godzilla and other oldie creature movies, and not just for the Cheese, I suggest Cloverfield.
