Cloverfield

So I went to see “Cloverfield” last night and it wasn’t worth the $5.75. How this movie was number one at the box office last weekend I don’t know. The main premise of the movie is that Manhattan is under attack from this thing/creature and we don’t know what it is until near the end of the film. The movie follows a group of friends that were all at a party when the attack occurred. And the entire film is supposedly “filmed” by one of the friends who had a video camera from the party. Thus, the filming is, on purpose, quite shaky throughout, so you’d better bring your barf bag. By the end of 90 minutes you are very tired of the constant motion on the big screen.

Between “I am Legend” and “Cloverfield,” New York City is in terrible shape these days. Good to know that if terror strikes it will be in NYC!

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend Cloverfield. Don’t waste your time or your money…
