Very Realistic

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2008)

This is the first film I've seen that is made in handy cam style and I thought that it was a very well made movie and didn't have that many shaky camera effects so you can see what is happening. Cloverfield gives you the true real feeling of getting stuck in a city that is being attacked by a giant monster and you have a handy cam. Movies like Godzilla & King Kong shows that where the monster came from and what is it's end but if you are in the city that is being attacked by the monster you won't know anything about it which Cloverfield did by not showing us the beginning and the end of the monster and they did a fantastic job. When the head of the statue of liberty went flying across the street was so awesome and breathtaking.
In the first 20 minutes before New York was being attacked there was just some friends being videotaped in a party which looked very natural then all of a sudden it got into action. The whole film was so lifelike and realistic that it seems you are actually watching a real life video. There were some shots of the monster throughout but there was a clear sharp image of it in the end and it looked like a giant bat. Cloverfield was about 70 minutes which was a good idea because it is made in handy cam style and should be shorter than the normal running length. Overall it was a very thrilling, exciting and entertaining movie and you just don't know what's going to happen next.
