Intriguing & Surprising

on August 1, 2014

Posted by: theTHXKid

from Chicago Il.

Verified Purchase:Yes

When this film first came out, they tried to closely guard the big reveal secret of the movie & so I'll not disclose it here. Basically it's a story of a horrible disaster that occurs as a young man attends a surprise going away party to celebrate landing a new dream job in another country. His best friends have a camcorder to catch it all but when the unimaginable happens, the rest of the film is about trying to survive. The ENTIRE film is shot POV style from this single camera & we are treated to images of a bittersweet love story, goofy friends plotting a party, the horror that is designated as Cloverfield, & the resultant scramble to live & love. The special effects are excellent, the idea is wonderful (& a much better than The Blair Witch Project), & at times sadly poignant as you realize the happiest moments are being recorded over to "document" this incredible event. If I have ANY complaint it's the jerkiness of the hand-held camera throughout, but you can become used to it soon enough & it DOES add to the realistic depiction of the event. I love showing this film to friends who've never seen it & tell them nothing in advance (I won't even let them see the liner notes on the back of the case). They're surprised (& pleased) every time. An old-fashioned idea done well for the 21st century audience.

My Best Buy number: 0038823343

What's great about it: a well done idea that nicely surprises

What's not so great: hand-held camera is essential but a bit distracting

Monster Movie

on August 9, 2015

Posted by: Waysender

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is a solid monster movie that sufferered a bit from all the hype surrounding it. The movie is one of those handheld camera, found footage, character point of view movies like "The Blair Witch Project", "Chronicle", and all of the "Paranormal Activity" movies.

The movie also famously, or infamously, made some people queasy from all of the shaky film shots.

Overall I like this movie a lot but I feel like you need to be in the mood for it versus other movies that you are always up for watching.

Fun monster movie

Verified Purchase:Yes

Back in the beginning of the found footage craze was this fun monster movie. It was a bit ridiculous in plot, but the tension and scare factors were there.

Couldn't resist for $5!

on September 11, 2015

Posted by: HappyThumbsGaming

Verified Purchase:Yes

I always liked this movie.. the wife... not so much. The found footage style results in a somewhat shakey experience from the camera man's perspective which bothered my wife. Not me though.. and when I finally saw this in the $5 bin at Best Buy... I had to grab it! Wife watched it again and didn't think it was as bad as she remembered.. lol
