Being different is not equal to being good

Rating: 3/10 (29 August 2016)

Cloverfield is without doubt one of the strangest films around, and gives a very particular perspective, but it is incredibly annoying and, from my perspective, boring. From the start my only hope was that the camera holder would stop shaking the camera uncontrollably. Yes, I get it, it is in first person and you're scared... but even with a smartphone there is no such amount of shaking. The story is equally wound up and chaotic. The insights of the viewer are extremely reduced All in all the film seems like a high budget production trying to imitate a low budged B-class film, and i honestly don't get the point.I recommend to watch the film only early in the evening to avoid sleep. Also, if you really want to watch it, be prepared for the shaky camera.
