Empty cloverfield clone with less interesting ending

Rating: 2/10 (15 June 2011)

Cloverfield Clone with a higher budget and a far less, strangely complicated story line with no ending at all, which is not a spoiler. Spielberg makes the most predictable films and with market cynicism targets this movie to young kids, mostly male. I found this movie to be such an empty clone that one wonders if JJ Abram is not really just a one film guy. I am at the point where when a film has Spielberg's name on it, I know the film will be glossy, fancy and utterly empty. The children in this show is where the story centers, but boy does this film lead to so many unanswered questions. Some important scenes seem to be missing, as there are many unexplained developments here. While mildly entertaining in a shallow way, I cannot understand at all the good reviews this disjointed film has earned to date.
