Review: Cloverfield

When I first heard about this film my expectation were low. I thought "Oh no Blair witch project meets Godzilla". Yes that analogy was right but my "Oh no" was unjust.

The film starts off pretty slow. For the first 20 Min's you are shown a leaving party for one of the main character this is a bit bland but works well at showing the people and there relationships. Then when the action kicks in, it KICKS in. I can't explain it but from the first point of action it draws you in. The whole camcorder thing works very well in this film and makes the action more intense. I don't want to do a long drawn out review so I am going to keep it short and sweet. The special effect are the good and get past the first 20 Min's and the film really is a roller coaster ride I was griped and impressed by how much this gripped me.....

If I was going to nit pick I could argue how the camera survived some of the scenes and the 20 Min's beginning sequence. But because the film was so gripping it kind of voids out those faults.

So all in all I would recommend you turn the lights off and watch this on blu-ray if you can.

9/10
