A great thriller movie for thrill seekers.

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2009)

Cloverfield is a great movie. The plot is slightly under developed, but that makes up in great effects. The characters are great and there acting was almost perfect. The design of the monster was creative and unique. The hand-held style adds realism to the movie, but lacks in viewers comfort and the overall back story. The slow reveal of the monster leaves viewers paying attention almost always. all in all, I would say Cloverfield is an amazing movie and one of J.J. Abrams best works.
