Plot Outline:Revolves around a monster attack in New York as told from the point of view of a small group of people.
Cloverfield is a film about a giant monster attacking Manhattan all seen through the perspective of a 20-something's hand-held camera.
much like "Children of Men", "cloverfield" completely immerses you in this incredible situation with absolutely no knowledge to comfort you.
The movie draws you in, makes you a part of the experience. It succeeds primarily because of two things; what you see and what you hear.
The movie does not have a major actor stealing the screen. Everyone is treaded just about equal. As the viewer you feel you are with the group as you are seeing the movie from the first person view. You feel connected to the characters as you understand that because of their loss, they have to set something right and not escape from the city. The movie draws you in and you feel like you are a part of the action.
There is no music. Ambient sounds such as creeks and thumps don't distract you from looking at all the finer details. You stay focused on what's important and constantly entertained.Be warned: If Blair Witch Project made you nauseous, then I don't recommend Cloverfield as it's shot entirely with hand-held cameras.
all in all a very solid movie.8/10
