An excellent low budget movie!

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2008)

For the first time I saw the trailer I was horrified with the idea. Seeing the head of Statue Of Liberty falling in front of the camera really shocked me a lot, not for being the head of the main icon of the USA, but yes for its crude feeling.
When The Blair Witch Project came out people realized that a lot of other "projects" using the same kind of narrative would pop everywhere from that on, but it never really happened, and Cloverfield is the first excellent movie to follow The Blair Witch by an own original way.
J.J. Abrams is a great creator and producer, and Cloverfield is something to make him proud of his success because he used a very low budget (25mil) to produce something intense in a so high level that Spielberg should feel ashame.
I don't have anything bad to talk about this movie. The action and all that suspense flows naturally, and the characters are really doing what people would surely do in real life (with exception of "saving the camera above all of things"). J.J. Abrams together with the director created something really interesting that gives freedom for mistakes, continuity errors, plot holes... resulting in something intelligent and brilliant.
