Cloverfield
It’s “Friends” meets “Godzilla” meets “The Blair Witch Project” meets “X Files” meets “Lost” in J.J. Abrams’ version of “How I Spent My Summer Vacation in NYC” or “Escape from Manhattan”. Cloverfield is the government code word the events recorded on a camcorder tape filmed by a group of friends starting at a farewell party. This much hyped film has a lot of tension and mystery running though it. While the film’s home movie feel is novel at first, it soon becomes nauseating; like watching 90 minutes of your good friends’ horribly jerky home movies. The film is more about the people rather than the mystery monster. Some will really love this film, but most will be disappointed.
Alien gives it 2 “what the hell was that” stars out of 4.
