Major motion sickness- the camera never stopped shaking! I had my eyes closed for a good portion of the film. Clearly I wasn't the only one who felt sick from this movie - We had to wait to get into the theatre because the staff was still cleaning up vomit from the previous show.
Awesome special effect and very realistic however nothing more
Yes i think it does create realism.. For instance let's think for a minute wait I almost forgot you North Americans don't think with your head.. Get real bro just think about it.. Here is why the film feels real, it felt like it happened for real! and they just retrieved the video of the incident.. So there ya go buddy and is that too much for your puny head.. And if it was just a film it wouldn't have any meaning seeing that it felt like the mist.. Instead they added this camera work and guess what it made the film better and it worked! and if you don't think it was good well then that's your opinion... And give me a really good reason why the film sucked not some stupid reason like (I
Being a Scene member I'm glad i did not have to pay to watch this movie as I found it to be a huge let down to the movie it looked like it was going to be when I saw the trailer when watching Transformers. The point of view was good keeping the realism to the movie, but too often it made me fill like a bigger budgeted version of the Blair Witch Project. The movie was incredibly boring for the first 20 minutes i.e., before the monster attack, and it left too many unanswered questions. Honestly, whats the point of showing a quarantine scene if there never going to expand on it? The movie ended great as it had a dark outlook but seriously, save your money and wait for the DVD.
I can see how some people might not enjoy the movie (camera shaking) but if you can get over that and get into the story of the characters and the non stop action from start to finish and throw in a few surprises I think its worth the price of admission. My wife and I really enjoyed it , we never took our eyes off the screen. GO CHECK IT OUT bonk
so ... shaking the camera around like a chicken having a seizure creates realism for some of you elitist foreigners ... maybe if you realized that even an eight year old with a video camera that has an image stabilizer can shoot a movie better than these "reality" pictures are trying to use in technique to give them an authentic feel ... get real, even for just a second or two.
i really enjoyed cloverfield. its about time that a new well done godzilla style movie comes out. as i was leaving the theater i heard some punk teen say"its just blair witch meets godzilla", "i hated it" well im sorry that its not scary movie 87 or some other crappy teen movie. this movie was original, different, entertaining, and enjoyable. though im sure it may have caused motion sickness to some, those who stayed got to see a great movie.
THIS was the worst movie ever!!!! It was a super long blaire-which project. It was annoying and aggravating, and very slow moving. A waste of time and money.

I watch a lot of horror movies...and this one actually scared the heck out of me!! realistic....
