LOL, thanks These days, with small kids at home I hardly ever make it to the movies anymore (big ordeal, babysitters, planning, etc. etc. - takes away from the sponteneity of "hey's let's catch a flick tonight!"). So, your review makes me I feel better about not being able to get out and watch this one then.

I liked it! In my opinion, if it had been filmed differently (or rather, "regularly"), it would have been the worst copycat big monster movie EVER. Basically Godzilla, except worse.

I felt myself somewhat annoyed by the motion at times, but...those moments passed.

I also liked that there was no closure. Nothing at all. Haha...because we so love (NEED) closure that it's a bit entertaining when a huge room full of us don't get it

My pops went to the screening of this movie with my nephew. They both said it sucked baadddd. 2/10. I will wait on this one. I knew it was too much hype.

Produced by the man who wrote Armageddon... hmmm... I know it's not gonna be an amazing film before I go anywhere near a movie theater.

But for all those who are curious...

Link to extended clip of Cloverfield.

I have to say, of what I saw, I liked it. It was pretty novel and interesting if you went with little knowledge except the previews. I ended up having to leave just as the four of them entered the mall after being in the tunnels.

I got very sick from the film. I had to leave and a friend told me everything that happened after I left. I was sick for about 2 hours after the film and ended up just having to go right to bed.

As for the lack of closure, from what I was told I thought there was closure enough for me. Then again I'm not a die hard person when I comes to such things. I think I will try watching it again on the small screen once it goes to DVD, at least then I can pause it if I start to feel ill again.
