DVD Reviews of Cloverfield
DVD Review: A fun monster movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Being half way through six months of chemotherapy, I thought I would challenge the anti-nausea medicine they give me with each treatment cycle by watching Cloverfield - famous for its hand held camera technique. I didn't get sick, and I loved the movie! It is entirely realistic, entirely believable. It has the intimate character-driven feel of an indie film, within the immense epic adventure of a major studio production. The opening party sequence in which you get to know the characters looks like every wedding reception video ever shot. When the mayhem starts, you are riveted to the screen, peering through the chaos trying to make out what is happening right along with everyone on screen. This intense connection with what is going on is never broken right up to the end. A really well done, tightly constructed film that is really fun to watch.
DVD Review: I have watched the worst movie ever.
Summary: 1 Stars
Just when I thought anything with Will Smith in it is bad, this junk came along. Where to even begin? It's so bad I skipped through most of it to spare myself of the bad story and horrible acting skills.
Save yourself. Stay away from this junk.
DVD Review: Worst Movie Ever?
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie ranks right up there with Hannah Montana movies and "Annie" as one of the worst films ever made in the history of mankind.
Root canal is much preferable and less painful than this movie that made me so depressed I could hardly wait for it to end once it started.
I really hated this movie. I really cannot remember the last time I ever saw a movie this bad.
This movie is so low budget it makes it look like Mr Rogers spend a fortune on the making of the Neighborhood of Make Believe.
I beg you and for you to beg everybody to not see this movie.
I was surprised to see used copies of this movie on sale at the video store when the sign should have said "Take one, PLEASE!"
DVD Review: dvd in great shape! can't believe it was so cheap!

Beautiful people, nice cast and story.

Description of Cloverfield
Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their livesOne of the first things a viewer notices about Cloverfield is that it doesn't play by ordinary storytelling rules, making this intriguing horror film as much a novelty as an event. Told from the vertiginous point-of-view of a camcorder-wielding group of friends, Cloverfield begins like a primetime television soap opera about young Manhattanites coping with changes in their personal lives. Rob (Michael Stahl-David) is leaving New York to take an executive job at a company in Japan. At his goodbye party in a crowded loft, Rob's brother Jason (Mike Vogel) hands a camcorder to best friend Hud (T.J. Miller), who proceeds to tape the proceedings over old footage of Rob's ex-girlfriend, Beth (Odette Yustman)--images shot during happy times in that now-defunct relationship. Naturally, Beth shows up at the party with a new beau, bumming Rob out completely. Just before one's eyes glaze over from all this heartbreaking stuff (captured by Hud, who's something of a doofus, in laughably shaky camerawork), the unexpected happens: New York is suddenly under attack from a Godzilla-like monster stomping through midtown and destroying everything and everybody in sight. Rob and company hit the streets, but rather than run with other evacuees, they head toward the center of the storm so that Rob can rescue an injured Beth. There are casualties along the way, but the journey into fear is fascinating and immediate if emotionally remote--a consequence of seeing these proceedings through the singular, subjective perspective of a camcorder and of a story that intentionally leaves major questions unanswered: Who or what is this monster? Where did it come from? The lack of a backstory, and spare views of the marauding creature, are clever ways by producer J.J. Abrams and director Matt Reeves to keep an audience focused exclusively on what's on the screen. But it also makes Cloverfield curiously uninvolving. Ultimately, Cloverfield, with its spectacular effects brilliantly woven into a home-video look, is a celebration of infinite possibilities in this age of accessible, digital media. --Tom Keogh
