The Movie and its "BreakThrough Cinematography"

Rating: 1/10 (16 January 2008)

It was just OKAY. Just a warning to those who have seen BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and got dizzy, YOU WILL GET DIZZY IN CLOVERFIELD. I really tried to endure the camera movement in this film, but at times I had to look down for a few seconds just to recover from all the rapid movement. In my opinion, the concept of the movie is an excellent one, but the execution of the cinematography with the "Hand Cam" technique ruined the experience for me. So do not expect a "breakthrough in cinematography" because it already has been done in BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Unless you really liked Blair Witch Project, then this movie would be awesome for you. WHY OH WHY DID THEY DO THE MOVIE THIS WAY!!! I feel if they did away with the "Hand Cam" perspective, the movie would have been awesome. Sorry Cloverfield directors, try again.
