Alright, I just got back from the movie, and I have to say, it's amazing. Acting, I think, is good, the camera is done perfectly (though I can't understand why they can't keep it still for even a second) and the perspective is done good too-it's all done from the perspective of the camera, and as such, you learn almost nothing about anything.
Speaking of which, if you're going to Cloverfield looking for answers, you'll find none. The only question that is ever really answered is "What does the monster look like?" It brings up a lot of questions for an hour-and-a-half movie, and it begs for a sequel. And you never even get a good, complete shot of the monster. I can think of one, and even then a good part of it is obscured pretty quickly.
You know, now that I think of it, maybe a Cloverfield speculation thread should be created-I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on everything.
It's you and me against the world. We attack at dawn.
This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper. - T.S. Eliot
