Something new and real

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2009)

Cloverfield delivers a stressing array of mass destruction. The film quickly jumps into action during a going away party. Filmed by an 8mm camera the city quickly becomes helpless from a giant monster as the characters travel to the center of the city to save a friend. For the most part I thought the storyline was kind of weak but that's not why you're glued to the screen. I was very impressed from the amazing footage of destruction and chaos that has engulfed the city. If you're not a fan of the shaky camera, I do not recommend this movie. But I am, films like these put you in the front row and make it as real as possible. Still to this day I enjoy watching it, especially while smoking up. I give Abrams credit for going out on a limb for this project. I recommend seeing this film, don't listen the nay sayers. They're just upset about the camera work.
