cloverfield review

Holy.Shit.

I dont usually do movie reviews but I figured I had to for this one. I saw the first screening here in Saratoga Springs at the matinée showing at 12:20. It was the first time Ive gone to the movies by myself. Kind of weird but it was actually pretty cool and the people that were there together were in the minority actually. Plus I got the best seat in the house - the seat with no rows in front of it in the middle of the theater. So no tall asshole could sit in front of me.

Anyway, to the movie. Wow. I saw someone on the imdb board compare this to a roller coaster and it is kind of like that. Maybe its just the feeling you have after the movie is done, I dont know. But either way its definitely a ride. Its one of those movies were everyone leaves the theater and no one talks. Its kind of spooky. Like the found footage you just saw was real and you just watched it and now you have to think about it.

They did a good jobs cloverfield review the cloverfield review of this movie. Even though they released a lot of viral video clips and everything, you still have to see the movie. Its a totally different experience than what I thought it was going to be. I had this picture in my mind of like a Godzilla type creature and that kind of movie but its not really like that at all. I dont know if I can explain it, but theres more breadth to the movie than I previously thought. Theres just a lot more there than I expected.

I believe I was right when I made my first post about Cloverfield and how it was different than most Hollywood movies. Well duh, I think anyone can see that. But until youve seen the whole cloverfield review you dont realize the real differences. First off, no big name actors. Well at least they arent, YET. But that really helps keep you focused on the story and the rather than the actors. Which is very important in a movie like this.

Second, the destruction of Manhattan. Weve seen dozens of times, not to mention in real life (FUCKHEADS!), but for some reason we keep going back for more. Why? I dont know. It has something to do with conflict. Everyone knows Manhattan, its a symbol of America, love it or hate it. So instantly your in the film with the characters. Ive been there! Now theres a monster destroying it and it sucks you in right away. Why cant we destroy Los Angeles next time or something&how do they always get the good end of the deal? Maybe because you could just shine a huge light on LA and everyone would melt.

But anyway, the destruction of Manhattan in this movie is probably the best Ive seen. Never mind that its done by whose impervious to everything our military can throw at it. You do get a good view of the monster so dont worry. Plus Im sure you can see it on the Net by now anyway. But yea the rampage through Manhattan is definitely worth seeing alone.
Im trying to not give too much away but the scene when they find Beths building is awesome.

There are parts of the movie that infuriate you when theyre near the monster cloverfield review you dont get to see it because Hud, the cameraman, is filming stupid shit. But it does lend a sense of realism to movie. If I were in that situation I dont think I would be filming the fucking monster either. One shot would be good enough for me. Of course, I wouldnt still in the middle of Manhattan, but anyway&

The monster itself is dynamo as well. None of the concept art online from prior advance screenings was truly right, but they did a good job. I mean Im sure its hard to draw something youve never seen. You can tell ten different people the same description and easily get ten way different drawings. I think actually if you compiled all the drawings and took pieces from them you might actually be pretty close.

I thought we were going to see more of the little critters than we do, but they have to be scarier than the big one. The big one cant get to certain places, the littles ones can. Theyre nasty too and the first two times you see them are pretty cool. You almost know theyre gonna be there the second time but its still well done.

The movie is very tense, obviously, but there are some laughs and of course, even a love story. What monster movie doesnt have a love story in it? cloverfield review Cloverfield had to sink that low. Haha, just kidding. But anyway, there are even tearjerker moments in there if you are so inclined. All in all I think and feel this movie has everything you need for a good movie, and it delivers. So go see it with an open mind, if possible, and just enjoy it.

But you really should go see it on the big screen, I think especially with a movie like this it makes it more worth while. Your little 202 isnt going to do the trick. So unless your independently wealthy and have your own movie theater in your house, try to get to the early showing to avoids all the idiots that populate movie theaters during the evening hours. Or go to the late show. But just go, and see it. I cant say you wont be disappointed, but I sure wasnt.

And yes, Rob should have left early&
