An Intense Ride.

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2008)

Wow. I just saw this movie and I'm pleasantly surprised. Cloverfield is like a roller-coaster ride, but a damn fun one.
This is not a specially original movie, because it borrows ideas from "The Blair Witch Project", "War Of The Worlds", "The Host", "Children of Men" and others. But it does so in a way that creates an incredibly entertaining and intense experience.
There's a bit of a plot, but you really shouldn't be reading about this movie before you see it. The less you know, the better. But I'll say that the ending was pretty fitting, specially for a movie like this.
This movie has chaos all written over it, but we get so involved with the characters that we feel that we're with them in that situation, and you can't help but understand the character's actions, even if they seem irrational at times.
I really loved Cloverfield. And although my head still hurts, the experience was definitely worth it. For something similar in style and quality, try to watch the Spanish movie "REC".
