Cloverfield [Blu-ray]

I maybe little bias since I could only watch 30 minutes. I have one or two complaints about this movie.

1) The camera movements were all of over the place. The movements of the camera made me sick and dizzy. I was hoping it would calm down, but didn't. And it looks like others had the same complaint. I know it's suppose to be a documentary style but documentaries don't have to be that jumpy.

2) The Story line was just plainly stupid. This is a movie that took itself to seriously and tried to make something out of nothing.

3) The acting wasn't believable. IF you're going to make a movie like this and use unknown actors. At least get top of the line acting since this maybe their big break. Not the ones the movie used since this maybe and only movie they make.

4) Not another Blair Witch Project. Hasn't Hollywood learned it's lesson.....yet. I guess as long as they're making money, they don't care.

Saw the previews for this before it hit theaters, and wasn't captivated by any means. Picked it up on Bluray for a first viewing and was captivated from the start. Beth is hot, the monster blows up all kinds of stuff, the effects are incredible and it's told from their point of view, so you don't need to know where it came from, or what it is, just roll with it and it is enjoyable. I definitely recommend taking the time to check this out.

When "Cloverfield" first started, I was thinking, "What the heck is this?". People at a party being videotaped by this one dude, the camera jiggling. I was ready to give up on the movie. THEN, the monster attacks. The movie picked up from there. I actually grew to like the first person view through the eye of the dude with the camera.
Good stuff!! Kept me wondering what would happen next.

I'm writing this review right after I have finished watching it, and I can only say that I have no word to describe the movie but disaster. It's very boring but the speacial effects are good though.
The movie is about an attack of some monsters in Manhattan and there is a guy that records with his camera the whole thing. I know that there are several movies like this and they really called my attention at the time I saw them (even when I'm not a fan of science fiction movies) I liked them.
The cover really says something completely different of what the movie is. Another thing that I must say about the movie is that it desesperates a little bit because the image is not steady, it is always shaking and you can't see the scenes very good.
If you are a disaster movie fan maybe you can like this one but if you're not I doubt you are going to like it.

this film was extraordinarily well done. It keeps the adrenaline ramped up from start to finish. You simply must check this film out!
