Review - Cloverfeild (Paramount / Bad Robot)

February 7th, 2008 - Posted By Cortlandune

Hello again, and welcome to the movie that has very little to do with the title! This movie is about a monster who never gets explained really showing up in New York and smashing the place with it’s giant self. That and he aperently humps the statue of liberty rather inhumanely. The catch of this movie is it is shot through the lens of a hand held video camera! The whole time…

yay?

Anyway, we have a very boring lead up to a huge awesome part in the middle influenced by the absolutely retarded decisions of characters.

The plot is not very interesting, and it really feels like these people must have some sort of idiot disease to keep going on their "quest" (if I am so bold to call it such). I mean it might make sense if they were superheroes, but no they are just stupid. However, thanks to their lame brain selves we get really cool special effects!

The special effects are superb, extremely good by any account. Monster feels big, little monsters feel uh… skittery. Everything looks great and is seamless for the most part. Its easily said that the special effects make this movie awesome.

I recommend seeing this if you like um… survival monster movies. Though not so much if you suffer from motion sickness.

$6.50
