Wow, this movie is something I've never seen before.

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2008)

Back in 1998 when I worked with subtitles I had to watch the movie Godzilla over and over again, that was part of my job too make sure the subtitles were white enough, that they came in on the right place etc. I hated Godzilla from the start. It was horrible, a giant lizard that takes over New York, nothing in my taste. Than 10 years later came Cloverfield and some friends talked me into too go and see this movie and boy was I surprised. What a great movie, I have never seen anything like this before.
Plot: Cloverfield is presented as a series of scenes taken by a digital hand-held camera obtained by the United States Department of Defense pertaining to Case Designate "Cloverfield" found in US-447, an area "formerly known as Central Park". The footage that comprises the rest of the film is shot under the context of a personal hand-held camera used by various characters throughout the film's events.
Even if the story is about a monster it deals with so many other things. It is about being young and in love, about friendship and how people can come together, how we react in different situations and it is great, it is something new in cinema.
