One of the initial things a spectator notices about Cloverfield is which it doesn’t fool around by typical storytelling rules, creation this appealing abhorrence movie as most a newness as an event. Told from the giddy point-of-view of a camcorder-wielding organisation of friends, Cloverfield starts similar to a primetime radio soap show about immature Manhattanites coping with changes in their personal lives. Rob (Michael Stahl-David) is withdrawal New York to take an senior manager pursuit at a association in Japan. At his goodbye jubilee in a swarming loft, Rob’s hermit Jason (Mike Vogel) hands a camcorder to most appropriate crony Hud (T.J. Miller), who deduction to fasten the record over old footage of Rob’s ex-girlfriend, Beth (Odette Yustman)–images shot during happy times in which now-defunct relationship. Naturally, Beth shows up at the jubilee with a brand new beau, bumming Rob out completely. Just prior to one’s eyes glitter over from all this distressing things (captured by Hud, who’s something of a doofus, in laughably unsure camerawork), the astonishing happens: New York is unexpected underneath conflict from a Godzilla-like beast stomping by midtown and destroying all and everyone in sight. Rob and association strike the streets, but rsther than than run with alternative evacuees, they head toward the core of the charge so which Rob can rescue an harmed Beth. There have been casualties along the way, but the tour in to fright is erotically appealing and evident if emotionally remote–a effect of saying these record by the singular, biased viewpoint of a camcorder and of a story which purposely leaves vital questions unanswered: Who or what is this monster? Where did it come from? The miss of a backstory, and gangling views of the robbery creature, have been crafty ways by writer J.J. Abrams and executive Matt Reeves to keep an assembly focused to one side on what’s on the screen. But it additionally creates Cloverfield curiously uninvolving. Ultimately, Cloverfield, with the fantastic goods brilliantly woven in to a home-video look, is a jubilee of gigantic possibilities in this age of accessible, digital media. –Tom Keogh

Here is how the movie goes,
First 30min or so videocam of some couples daily life….
Next 30min hint of some monster attack…..
Last 30min or so running for their life…
WARNING: all the above are shot thru the viewpoint of a viewcam with EXTREME jerking of the scene. Worse than any amateur or even kid shooting a home video. You feel nausea & eyes gets strains.I think those idiots cameraman deliberately shake the camera…in the name of artistic ?
Hence my experience for 1st 30min was extreme boredom & eyes strains, looking at some irrelevant home video ?
Next 30min nausea kicks in as more & more jerky scenes.Your eyes must be both closed now to avoid further abuse.
Last 30min,jerking continues, many peoples already left the movie hall. I sat thru with eyes closed as feeling too nausea & sick to leave.
Finally when shows ends only me & 2 couples left. Thanks god the torture is over.
Cannot understand why anyone would find this film ok, artistic, 4 stars , blah blah blah. This film should get negative 5 stars & rated T for torture.
The WORST movie in my viewing history. RIPOFF, THRASH !
This thrash should NOT be called a movie.
Utter waste of resources & viewers time.
See at your health’s risk.

“if they were any younger we would be THROWING FETUSES down the runway [with an accent!!!!!]
…nothing worthwhile here ….. close to a ‘running’, ‘jumping’, ‘screaming’ ……type of movie [Spike Milligan could and should have turned this one into something extraordinary] …. even “The Giant Claw” provides more pucker…….
……oddly enough you can leave the room – come back and find yourself still totally confused by this v-e-r-y amateurish flop-de-jour.
[The, umm .... parasites are not that original - remember Johnny Weismuller "Jungle Jim" and the Desert Spiders....????]
Paramount is below the barrell here ….

Pros: I loved seeing a fresh young cast of relatively unknown actors instead of over-exposed, overplayed ‘A or B-listers’. Kudos on the casting.
Cons: everything else
Other thoughts: If you think of this movie as ‘Godzilla meets the Blair Witch Project’, you’ll have a fair idea of what to expect. Oh, and everyone dies. The end.
