While I applaud the unique approach to filmmaking (even though Blair Witch did it first, just on a smaller scale!) I just didn't see the point in the film - no character development, and a seemingly invincible camera! I have to be honest I felt really uncomfortable watching Cloverfield.

Best, Christine Hi Clifford,

I thought it was very cleverly done. And how refreshing to see things from the viewpoint of the average Joe? There were plenty of thrills and good humor to keep me glued to my seat even though I was sitting next to a group of talkative young adults that normally would have driven me right out of the theater. As far as monster/disaster movies go, this rates high on my list of must sees. Ciao! Clifford,

And might check this movie out if the physics student schedule allows it, but I have a few friends who complained about motion sickness while watching so I might wait this one out.

My sister refuses to go with me for this very reason. My thoughts were the same as Elliot’s- why would NY be upset about anything after that incredible win? ;)

No giveaway of the plot, but enough enthusiasm that I'm going to open up the wallet and go see it. This is the perfect movie review.
