Cloverfield

three

I tried to go into this movie without any expectations, but the constant bickering over what this movie was or wasn't between two close friends made that impossible.

I think the idea was unique, daring, and unusual, but I'm not sure it was executed well. The film attempts to make a statement about those involved in media (devout followers will surely know leagues more about this film than the average movie-goer because of the extra information offered online unavailable to those just watching the movie). It was different to watch in a first-person type narrative rather than a third-person omniscient (if that parallel to literature can be made), but the constant shaky movement of the camera made me nauseous.

Props for an incredibly different spin on the age-old Giant Monster movie, focusing on the individual humanity as opposed to epic tragedy.

No props for a movie that literally made me want to vomit.
