Review
This is definitely the most exciting, adrenalin pumped movie for this month(could even be for this year). The special effects for this movie is spectacular! You are always at the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. It's either you love it or hate it. The probable reason why you would hate Cloverfield is mainly because of the cameraworks.
Everything is captured in a handheld camera (think Blair Witch Project). But apart from that, I feel Cloverfield is done very well and the marketing for it is cool. And as expected everything was hush hush. But once the excitement starts, it just doesn't fucking end. Casting are mostly unknowns which is a good thing. The script was pretty funny as well and is however highly recommended that you watch Cloverfield in a good cinema with a good sound system. You would not enjoy watching it in a shitty cinema or even if you download and watch.
Simply no kick! For those who have watched Blair Witch Project and found it nauseating cause of the camerawork, you should still try and watch Cloverfield.And if you still are nauseous, I would recommend you to get drunk and watch it. It would definitely make you far worse than before and you deserve it cause you are a pussy. hehehe... Worth watching TWICE on a weekend and buying the dvd as well.
