Cloverfield? More like Overhyped.

Rating: 1/10 (9 November 2018)

After ignoring this when it first came out, it now appeared on Netflix. Well, as Netflix is bloated with their own ego and horrible production value these days, very little good content appears anymore. This was no exception. It's midnight, scrolling through and even passed it a few times. Came back to it. It is PG-13. I let it auto play. Figured I could at least fall asleep if it made even good background noise. Nope. This found footage schlockfest is absolutely the worst Kaiju ever created. The storyline, the cinematography, the forced acting, T.J. Miller, all make for one long headache inducing annoyance. This is not sci-fi, but something more on the lines of what Asylum would put out on a big budget. J.J. Abrams is taking in money for sure destroying big sci-fi franchises, and he surely did that to a whole genre with this. What was Lizzy Caplan doing when she signed up for this. Should have stuck to my instincts and passed it up again. And what's sad is there is a chain of movies tied to this and it has a cult following. What is the cult called? "We watch mindless Abrams films and say thank you, may I have another?"
