Cloverfield

[Flying Dutchman]

ok, saw it today (saw Tee there too....way to spend time with the kid!) and, well, it definately had it's moments. While the 'first person" perspective made it feel more real.......I kind of get tired of the shaking camera (aka Blair Witch). I like how the movie didn't try and explain anything

(Where did the monster come from? Why is it here?)

and just basically covered the view from people who were in it on ground level. I would recommend it, but not after eating or if you suffer from motion sickness.

I thought a good description of it was

"Blair Witch meets War of the Worlds meets Alien"

At the end, we just sat there and looked at each other "It's over?"

While the effects were cool, the perspective (from a casts camcorder) was strange, story was slow to start, plot was simple yet ambiguous and the ending was...well, lets just say it left a lot to be desired.

I would say, save your money and wait for the DVD.

so was there a monster? I've only seen a few previews, that part where it shows something between 2 buildings, what is that?

[Flying Dutchman]

Oh, there is a monster........plus some really nasty parasites that fall off of it.

[tat2me82]

what's the

monster??

[Flying Dutchman]

All I can say so as not to spoil it........it is a

BIG monster. With a really bad attitude.

Say nothing more, I don't want any spoilers....I think maybe you've already said too much.

Step son thought it was a little odd. Glad he was spending Daddy's money and not his own.....
