My most anticipated movie of 2008 - It was brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2008)

First of all, let me just say that I love Lost. It's probably my favourite t.v show, and because it was created by J.J. Abrams, I knew I had to see Cloverfield ever since I saw the teaser trailer months ago.
I've heard a lot of people say how they didn't like the style of the camera-work, but personally, I thought it added to the film immensely. The footage of the scenes was surprisingly good, and the whole POV thing really helped me get into the film. In fact, the way the film was portrayed and the way the scenes were shown was VERY realistic, like the opening, the ending, the lack of soundtrack etc.
To be honest, the fact that there were numerous times that the group clearly should've died, I didn't really think it detracted from the film very much at all, because the scenes that followed were just brilliant.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's now one of my favourite films.
