Cloverfield resurrected the monster movie sub-genre, with a gritty realistic feel that adds something new to genre thats been pretty much dead since the american take on Godzilla back in the 90s. the movie is an intense,fast pace rollercoaster ride that is definitely worth your time,
What's great about it: realistic feel, a different take on a played out genre,great special effects and it is well-paced
What's not so great: the documentary style is hit or miss, the actors while not bad isnt anything special.
