Review

 

Cloverfield is one of the most exciting and frightening sci-fi horrors of the last decade. A wobbly-rollercoaster ride that weaves its rickety way through darkened subways and exploding skyscrapers to avoid the powerful, terrifying and destructive force that has New York City under attack. Matt Reeves' monster-horror combines suspense, terror and explosions within its sudden, claustrophobic, and tension-filled scenes of desperate New Yorkers struggling to stay alive.

Rob's (Michael Stahl-David) impending trip to Tokyo is put on hold when, during his going away party, a devastating and frightening presence starts to destroy the city. As the explosions, screams and devastation increase, Rob, his brother Jason (Mike Vogel) and their group of friends face the most difficult decision of their lives. As Rob's long-term friend and current love interest Beth (Odette Yustman) is trapped alone in her apartment on the other side of the city, do they attempt to save themselves and flee the city to safety or head further in to the ruin and save Beth?

Cloverfield is a fantastically wrought film, where The Blair Witch Project style of using a handheld home video camera throughout adds tension and captures the chilling realism of the situation in which the city, and group, have found themselves in. With stylistic flourishes and inventive shocks, director Matt Reeves and visionary producer J. J. Abrams (Lost), have delivered on their `documentary-style' monster attack concept and produced an enjoyable, exhilarating and downright scary monster movie.

This Movie came with a huge amount of expectations and left me little dissapointed as it doe not live upto the hype. I personally thought it was a more modern and expensive version of the Blair Witch concept.
Still i thiught it was immpressive what they managed to acheive with the $30mill budget. It was like watching Godzilla but from the people on the streets point of view, you know the people who are seen running around as the main event goes on. Also enjoyed seeing New York in a camcorder made at the beginning of the movie. To recap, worth a watch due to the concept and style used, but maybe lowering your expectations is required.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars hmm

This film i thought was very good but i didnt give it full stars because of its ending. It was one of the worst endings i think ive ever seen they should of made more of it and they could of cos the films only 1 hour and 12 mins long they could of made it longer. Maybe there will be a number 2 and that will answer the questions i have but for me it was a good film the acting was a bit cheesy but there we go worth seeing though.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars I regret not seeing this at the cinema

I love monster movies and when I heard this was being made I immediatly was interested. BUT the reason i didnt go to see at the cinema was because they were using a handheld camera so the picture would be all wablly and in the end i did not see it. When i saw it on dvd tho i was impressed on how good it was, The design of the monster was imaginative, special effects were great and the actors played there parts well to be believable charactors, the director captured the chaotic and confused atomsphere really well and the handy cam was well used which makes this film better and helps the feel of the movie. I found this film very enjoyable. so i do recommend this film athough beware of motion sickness.
