Two words, Motion Sickness

Rating: 5/10 (27 April 2008)

First of all, the taping was horrible. I know that taping with an actual video camera (Used for home videos) was supposed to create a documentary effect but seriously I felt like I was gonna puke the entire time.
Second of all, we've all seen The Blair Witch Project and Godzilla. Cloverfeild was like both those movies and I Am Legend mixed together. Plus, this movie had a bunch of horror movie clichés like there's a surviving group of people and each one of them dies one by one except for the main character and his lover. Or, the lover dies and the main character lives. And again, like most suspenseful movies, they left us hanging in the end with no sequel. Not explaining if someone found the video or not, what happened to the monster or where the freak that thing came from. Which made my jaw drop. To me, it was sort of a waste of time. "What where's the ending?" now it's left to my imagination to finish the movie off.
The rest of the movie was okay I guess. Some unrealistic parts were included. Okay like the part when that Beth chick was stabbed with something sharp through the ground totally bleeding. She was left there for like two hours and is still alive. Later, she is still alive after getting pulled out of the ground with the thing through her heart, jumping out of a building and falling out of a helicopter. "What the hell?" that doesn't make any since. Did the director keep her in the movie just cause she'd pretty? It's an intense action movie with humor, horror and romance? WOW!!!
Anyway, Cloverfeild was good until the end. It kept me on the edge of my seat. (And on the edge of throwing up) despite the taping looking like a little kid running around with a camera, it was interesting. But it could have been better.
