Cloverfield was awesome! It has the Blair Witch style where the movie is shot from the point of view of someone holding a camera for the whole thing (a fucking good quality camera that is VERY durable... I might add).
J.J. Abrams follows his own style when he made the show Lost, which means... WTF!!? Confusing as hell. I didn't really know what the fuck it was until I saw the movie. I was assuming it was an alien movie when I first saw the preview right before Transformers, but nope! I guess it came from the sea. The websites that served as an online scavenger hunt pointed to that possibility (http://www.1-18-08.com/ - http://slusho.jp/ - http://tidowave.com/ - http://tagruato.jp/ - http://jamieandteddy.com/). If you're like me, these websites only confused you even more. I get that it was a monster movie, but did it really come from the ocean or something? That... and was it maybe Japan's fault?
I won't go into detail of anything else that happens in the movie because I feel that it would spoil some very cool/intense parts for you. I will, however, link a website that shows what fans think the monster looks like through drawings. Look at it if you've already seen the film... or if you're just dying to see it. Some drawings are almost spot-on... others make you wonder how someone would think it looked anything like that. - http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/c
I don't know what the monster is/where exactly it came from, but that's the cool part about the movie. You've seen the monster, but not as clearly as you might want to. There are many things to think about/maybe hear about later on. Maybe we'll learn more about it in time through sequels or just Abrams spilling his guts... maybe never at all. One thing is for sure, we're going to hear a bunch of know-it-alls discussing it in various forums on that thing we all know and love... The Interwebnet-like-thing!
Good movie, I recommend you all see it. I love apocalyptic-ish movies like this (even though it's only Manhattan... and we're all probably better off if that place disappears), so it was cool for me. If you're into that kind of shit, go and check it out!
Rating: ****1/2 stars of WIN!
