Most intense movie ever?

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2008)

Cloverfield was an amazing ride. It featured a completely unique view of a monster flick, showing the action through the eyes of the people rather than birds-eye views or panoramics of the city. Granted, there is a purposeful amateur feel to the cinematography which may leave you feeling sick or annoyed with the camera shaking, but personally it was not a big deal at all.
The movie worked so well because of the unique mesh of realistic filming and amazing special effects. The movie put the viewer directly in with the action. Unfortunately, the movie is still clouded with mystery as nothing is quite revealed except the looks of the monster itself, but that only adds to the realism and awe of the entire experience. The actors and actresses were entirely believable and played the parts amazingly well. The movie is very intense and scary and arguably the best monster movie I've ever seen. Must be seen on the big screen, so go see it.
