A decent movie. Sit as far back from the screen as you possibly can, or you'll probably get motion sickness lol

Reading the comments so far, I'd say l would like it. I personally tend to like complicated movies that do things differently straying away from mainstream crap.

Thank you all. ^_^



This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*

It was a decent movie :P Major probs with the camera work >< I just don't like that style I guess :P

BTW, is it only me? Or did the monster MASSIVELY remind you of Resistance Fall of Man :P 



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I can bet that I will be watching it sometime soon.



the idea of the movie is to leave questions unanswered its supposed to be like you are a person during the attack with no idea of what is going on

I wouldn't say it's all that complicated. The opening - the taping of the party - doesn't convey information in any sort of standard exposition, but it isn't hard to follow either. And after the monster attacks, it's a pretty straightfoward narrative of characters going from point A to B to C.



I liked the idea of the movies but i didn't like the execution. Cloverfield is not a monster movie. Its a love story with a monster attack as the back drop. I left the theatre knowing pretty the same amount of info that I did going in. Plus a couple of things about the movie really bothered me, especially the ridiculous initial evacuation plan.



Movie mannors have improved if that answers your other question. :)

You're a fool. The plotline - "love story" - was largely a gimmick, playing into many stereotypical elements of the over-sized monster flick. The plotline was a mere vehicle by which to carry across a mood of pandemonium, suspense, confusion and adrenaline; it was a vehicle to carry across the cinematic/cinematographic creativity of Abrams and his talented counterparts.

Every bit of the movie was about the monsters and the devastation they wrought.

 

On another topic, I saw an artist's rendition of the lice the other day, but for the life of me, I can't locate it anymore. Has anybody else happened on it, by chance? And I'm not talking about the louse pictured with the Cthulhu-esque (whalelike) monster, either.
