WOW. Awesome movie.
not at all what I expected... got a major headache from the camera moving all the time!!
loved it!! whoever doesn't like this film clearly has poor taste!! excellent thriller mixed with action, the first hit of 2008 for sure
One of the worst films I have ever seen.
Don't go to this movie expecting something new and wonderful in the world of cinema. Do go to this movie expecting an entertaining monster movie. I managed to avoid most of the hype when I went and saw Cloverfield, I did figure it was gonna be a monster movie of some type. Without saying anything about it - it is probably one of the best monster movies made, which really isn't saying much, as most monster movies are crap. This one is filmed all from the viewpoint of a handheld, (think Blair Witch Project) which some might find frustrating. The view is often jiggly and not aimed where you wish it was, which adds to the movies realism, but as I said, can be frustrating. --- THE GOOD: the movie
This one's a renter. P.O.V. films aren't all bad, but not much good for monster movies. There's rarely a good shot of the monster and it's difficult to figure out what's going on when the screen shakes constantly. It's like watching Godzilla while having a seizure, you miss half the action with all the shaking. People go to see movies like this for the action. The special effects are good and the acting is okay but it's a cheap theatre movie at best.
i had a smile on my face for the entire movie. everyone who didn't like the movie should not be going to movies at all. too stupid to be in public
Way to short for full price and lacked content.
A major let down, and a waste of time.
Horrible movie.... all the hype was for nothiing, there was more excitement and hype over the release of the trailer than the actual movie.
