Movie Review: Cloverfield

It's been a while since I've seen a movie in the theater (I usually download or copy films from my colleagues now). But since I've found extra time to spend I decided to watch a film that's worth watching - and I think Cloverfield was it. Ever since I saw the teaser from Transformers last year... It really got me interested. Plus, being a fan of Lost and Alias definitely got me itchin' to see this film (Creator of Lost and Alias J.J. Abrams produced and 'pitched' the idea for the film). Though the film got me a little nauseous, it somewhat reminded me of 9/11, with all the torn buildings and panic in the streets. The movie was very effective in detailing accounts of the people involved in the film. It really gave you the feeling of fear - just like everyone in the film. As with every J.J. Abrams-related feature, reminiscent of Lost - clues and related stuff are popping in the film. From the 'Slusho' drink on one of the character's shirts - to the Dharma Initiative logo just before the film started. Even with the film's premise and trailer, the execution was perfect. While some find the concept of the film too shallow, I loved every part of it. It gave me this feeling of euphoria everytime I watch films, which I haven't experienced in a long time. Immediately one fo my favorite movies of the 2008. By the way, if some of you folks still have no idea what the 'monster' looks like, below is a tiny clip of one scene from the film. Cloverfield: 9/10
