Mini Review - Cloverfield


The bad - T.J. Miller. If you do not want to slap the man after 5 minutes you are a patient patient person.

The good - Instead of happy endings it is a real dooms day picture. The monster is not revealed in whole through out the entire film, and what you see of it (don't worry, you get a good look) seems organic enough and not at all Star Warsy. The sense of panic and fear really comes across, and you will be carried away if you can survive the jerky hand held camera movement and T.J. Miller.

Total bonus points for leaving me in awe.

Not perfect, but my god was it a thrill ride!!! I am still wondering how they did it. If you want an entertaining film to see, go and see this, but do not drink too much before hand....you may need a vom.
B+
