Highly Overrated But Still Good
A lot of fun.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
I first found that footage films generally do not go well, but to be honest the fact that the movie makes it very real is really happening and I feel like I'm watching it on YouTube. The events in this film are quite realistic except for a few scenes and the deaths of some of the characters seem to have passed very easily I did not react too much to say that I found artificially there but this film was a very different scenario had a really great scenario open mouth although obviously movie did not like whether I liked this movie at the end, but as I said it was absolutely realistic that I probably planned it, but I do not know a good movie, but I do not know whether I would have felt a great movie if I had more budget but I would like to say an average movie for shan.
A huge monster terrorizes NYC. The End. Except we're given no backstory as to how the monster came to be like in Godzilla. A monster suddenly appears and the military tries to kill it. As an extra special bonus, the first 15 or 20 minutes of the movie is nothing but 21 year old drama that doesn't further the plot whatsoever. All you need to know is guy #1 is with girl #1 and guy #2 is with girl #2. It doesn't matter that somebody is moving to Japan or somebody likes a different girl. Nothing matters. Think of any horror movie with an "attacker". We know the origin of Freddy, Jason, Michael Meyers, even the piranhas, (as stupid as that movie was). Something doesn't just show up and start killing people randomly (except Jaws, which shouldn't even be mentioned along with this movie). Just because it's shot on a hand held cam doesn't give it any credibility. It's been done before and it doesn't automatically make something creative or revolutionary. I can't say enough bad things about this "movie". It's like a 5 year old wrote a story. Seriously, Anaconda is better!
Totally Blair witch + Godzilla pumped up. Good acting and effects. Immersed in the crazy action. Not credible enough to be living the fear though. Haha!
The hand held camera format was always going to be an issue, the type where even Reeves, Abrams and Goddard were probably aware of first, long before any other obstacle, so getting it right was an absolute must. Did they get it right? Not completely, but Reeves' directing and the length of the movie went a very long way in cauterizing the bleeding, especially for the viewer's eyes.That camera, that damn camera. The camera is more of a survivor that Tom Hanks in Cast Away, with Destiny's Child playing in the background and Jeff Probst narrating the whole thing.There were some issues I had with the acting, however there were other parts where all the main actors involved redeemed themselves to satisfactory levels. There was also one scene, the tunnel scene, which felt a bit out of touch with reality, given how Cloverfield did such a stellar job at creating a natural and authentic panic.Cloverfield is actually not about the creature, it's about the consequence of it. This film is a prelude, it's an entire movie about depicting an aftermath. It's the movie before the origin story, but not a prequel, and I believe that was a pretty brilliant stance and angle to take.Another awesome touch, is introducing the main couple and telling their story as a recording being recorded over by the current event. A creative way in recounting a flashback.Also, the way Cloverfield ends is, somehow perfect, because though it doesn't provide any kind of closure what-so-ever, it does however, fit extremely well within its approach. If the approach had been executed terribly, then that ending would've been aweful.Cloverfield is an awesome watch. 7.3/10.
