If you are at all sensitive to motion sickness, DO NOT watch this movie! I was able to watch the Blair Witch project no problem, but I actually had to leave Cloverfield half an hour in, and spent my evening over a toilet. My bf was closing his eyes within the first 5 min because it was making him dizzy. The movie seemed decent, but it was really hard to concentrate on due to shakey camera.
this was the best movie ever I would watch it agian and throw up
I really thought I wouldn't like this movie, but after a few minutes I was absolutely swept up for the ride. I felt like I was there and wasn't being spoon fed a bunch of pseudo science babble. Really different, really good.
this movie was overall a huge disappointment. just because of the way it was filmed ruined it. the whole aspect of trying to make it realistic clearly did not work, it was pretty annoying. however, the movie had a good story line to it which needed for development. i personally think if this movie was was not filmed as a documentary type of film, it would have been a wicked movie. otherwise it was a complete waste of time leaving many unanswered questions.
WORST MOVIE EVER SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!
This is the worst film ever, the movie is pointless, does not tell the audience what happen. the ending is rediculous, how can anyone see the tape if no one ever finds it. and through out the movie it feels like i am watching a movie being tape....
As Simon Cowl from American idol would say..."Absolulty horrible, if I wanted to see crap I would have waited for it to come out on video". Nice effects tho.
terrible
great movie!!! dont read the bad reviews some people just cant be pleased
Ok I know there has been mixed reviews about this movie but I among it seems half of you liked this movie. Now my rants the ending and the shaking camera here is my quest for you. Run into a natural disaster with a hand held camera ohh and at the end die. Now explain to me how they are supposed to wrap up this movie any better and explain more when they are DEAD as for the shaking he was running sometimes full out for periods of time a steady hand doesn't seem like the most likely of scenarios. Maybe some of you would have the time to pop down your tripod to steady the camera and get the angles right. I will admit the special effects were not the greatest but once again it was supposed to be
Incredible movie.
Great movie, but i got it!
I love this movie, especially the ending! It leaves a huge room of imagination!
I was sceptical at first but THIS is NO Blair Witch!!! It ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST THRILLER I'VE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. AWESOME!
Great set up ... cannot wait for Cloverfield 2
Awesome, I believe this is the best film this winter..
This was the first movie I have actually walked out on. What a waste of my time.
Intriguing film, higly entertaining and for those who didn't like the ending well that's to bad because no one realistically speaking survives something like this!!no one...
one long long trailer....amazing beginning, had me at the edge a the seat excited and hyped up eyes glued to the screen waiting waiting...and then....NOTHING happened lol...what a waste of an awesome idea all "build up" no plot as if i just saw an amazing 1hour and a half long trailer but didnt get to see the movie thats what its going to make you feel like if you see this. have fun watching.
This is a horrible movie. The camera work made me sick and gave me a headache, and the ending was so stupid. The whole movie was about saving a girl not even about a monster, so pointless.
Worst movie ever. I felt like I wanted to throw up while I was watching it. this movie is a direct example of how good marketing can draw an idiot into a movie theatre!
Awesome movie! Was pleased movie not too shaky for me.
One of the most intense movies that i have ever seen. WELL worth the price of admission.
Amazing film and the best flick in Theater as of now!
Better then Rambo and it has to be the best modern Sci fie flick... Ya it didn't have a story but at least it was very entertaining and it felt real if people can't see that well then that's them!
If I could vote negative stars, I would. Not worth a second of your time.
an effective combination of Blair Witch meets Godzill / Alien. The style is like watching the 911 TV footage shot like some imbedded camera crew in Iraq. Too bad that some of you did not "get" what this movie was inteded to show. It shows a terrifying situation shot from the perspective of a regular person, who does not have the overall picture, does not know where to run, does not know what is happening. So, I thought it was great and would encourage anyone with the ability to be challenged by a movie - GO SEE IT!!
The best film out right now with action,and realism.. This film does not count on plot,however it counts on realism and we don't get realistic films now a days instead we get horrible ones like Rambo!!!
Wow i watched this and i was blown away and this film last week was number one and now it's in the top 5 film..That's say a lot while Rambo in the other hand got crappy review and got second on it's opening.. Now that is saying a lot about two films! watch Cloverfield and don't watch Rambo it's "HORRIBLE"
I don't know why people are writing negative things about this movie. It's one of the best monster movies I've ever seen.
its my # 1 of most hated movies now! yes, spider-throwing-Gordzilla! you suck!
OMG..! what a waste of time.I came out shaking in fury....no plot, no action, no shooting, no clear shots of monsters either. This one is definite #1 crap on the chart. Ohh...I give both thumbs up for producers of this movie, was a very clever $ grabbing idea, brilliant, a true dissapointment as a movie though.
Excellent very well done!
One of the best film to come out in theaters, a lot of people may disagree with me but this film was way better then Rambo! in every level... Even in box office Clover field became number 1 while Rambo became number 2 this week!
Couldn't even watch it. It made me sick.
First off, this is not the perfect nor the worst movie produced. Personally, I hated how the camera kept moving and turning - it made me nauseous. But the effects were amazing and the realism is beyond perfect. The ending was a bit... incomplete but overall: 3/5 but don't watch if you have motion sickness.
I really enjoyed this movie. For those of you expecting a cool movie with aliens being blown up by some idiot action hero, go see something else. This movie is about a group of friends trying to survive a disaster. The twist is the monster. And it is this twist that makes the movie such a great movie. The special effects were great, as well the acting was very good. I found myself getting so into the movie I wanted to yell at the characters when they did something stupid, but yet believable. I recommend this to all those movie viewers out there who have not seen a good plot in years.
i want my money back!! worst movie i've ever seen.
Tepid horror spoof never finds its footing; a complete misfire.
2$ made movie, messed story, cant believe they charged money to see it
i rate this craptacular movie a -100 out +100 story has no beginning and no end. yes it may be a personal video but for someone to play the video they should be able to at least show or tell what happened after the fact. and that stupid blair witch style videography is such a way of telling a story. only good if u like getting people sick. and as for the fact that this type of recording, is to make it realistic. it sure didn't look realistic at all with everything that happened.
We were excited...the movie started out like no other before. Test pattern, interesting text... This was followed by 10 - 15 minutes of build up and then 70 minutes of some people running around the city with a camcorder in tow. Good acting...I think. No plot. So this movie was about what? Too bad they didn't use less crazy shaky camcorder, added more explanation ie. charter development, then added an ending. DO NOT PAY TO SEE IN THE THEATER. Wait to rent it. I don't write many reviews but this was important I warn you, it's too short and my wife almost had motion sickness from all of the running around. Too bad, it really could have been much more.
I can't understand some people. You guys say why did they show this scene if they didn't expand on it? Why was the first twenty minutes so boring? Why were there so many un-answered questions? HELLO?? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY! It's supposed to have the realism feeling! The people in the film didn't know what was going on and it was supposed to be them filming! Therefore the person watching isn't supposed to know anymore than the people filming! This was intentional! This movie was VERY well done and I give it 5 stars. For those of you complaining about the camera movement; all those who have motion sickness, STOP YOUR WHINING AND COMPLAINING AND JUST DON'T SEE IT! Just because you can
For all the people who said this movie sucks...you are complete idiots. what dont you like about it... the amazing action,the visual effects, the great camera angles? this movie will go down as one of the best movies of 2008 and all the haters will feel like idiots, watch this movie i guarantee you will love it... if you have any taste.
Unfortunately it's just another monster attacks new york city movie. I'd say the monster could have been better.
I'm 37 and it was the worst movie i have ever seen. It must of cost about $10 to make it. If you dare to see it bring lots of ASPRIN......IT SUCKED...!
SO AWESOME!
Where was the plot? Where was the ending? The movie doesn't go anywhere at all, a waste of time and money
This movie sucks is like watching the Blair Witch project but with some Giant alien involved. DO NOT WATCH IT WASTE OF TIME
Great movie, as realistic of a alien coming to earth as can be expected (for those who have seen it and can't figure out where it came from, watch it again and in the last scene, looking at the water watch closely .....this dosn't ruin anything for those who haven't seen it yet.)
