So the hype surrounding the "1-18-08" movie, known now as "Cloverfield", was pretty much well deserved. After watching this "Blair Witch" meets "Godzilla" crosspairing, I found myself wanting to hate the video-camera shooting technique (the entire movie is told from the vantage point of a person video recorder carried around by a couple members of the cast). I couldn't find the ability to hate it, though. It was good. Really good.
The "monster" was technically secondary to the storyline. The story is about how a group of friends survive the destruction of New York, wilderbeast like monsters and the us armed forces. It's a fun ride. Let's home J.J. Abrams does as well re-creating Star Trek this December as he did producing this movie.
