Cloverfield (DVD, 2008)

From the start many people compare this movie to the Blair Witch Project. But this movie was way more than some crappy movie done shot by a hand held camera with poor cinematics. This was a clever, thrilling, interesting, and a great movie to watch.

As I sat in the movie theater I felt that I was personally in NEW YORK. The way that the camera was used created a realistic feel to the movie. It was more than some monster flick. Cloverfield was all about this group of people trying to get out of Manhattan, not just the monster destroying everything. There were many surprises in the plot, and the graphics were outstanding. The monster was very original and realistic, and the monster was not the main focus of the story which separated this movie from GODZILLA.

SO yes I would recommend this movie to everyone of you, because the movie was fantastic despite its non existent comparisons to Godzilla and the Blair Witch projects. The situations are very realistic. One of the things that surprised me about this movie the most was that though I thought the hand held camera might fault the movie it did the complete opposite and made it even more interesting. Everything the main character saw, the audience saw. And along with the comedic relief the character holding the camera had really made this movie even better.

on a scale of 1 - 10
I give this movie a 9
