when i go to see a movie, i try to go in knowing as little about it as possible. there was a lot of mystery around cloverfield, but basically all i knew going into it was that it's a monster movie about a weird monster that attacks new york.
so that's why i didn't know it was all handheld footage.
and that's my only real complaint. it made me pretty nauseous watching an hour and a half of shaky handheld footage. on the imdb people respond to those complaints saying "well if you paid attention to the trailers..." or "you are weak!" whatever man. i'd think they would've learned from the mistakes of the blair witch project.
other than the seasickness, the movie was well executed and pretty awesome in general. for a popcorn flick, it was innovative in its technique. the imdb also has a list of plot holes and such, but whatever. action movies always have plot holes.
anyway, i've been reading about the viral marketing and stuff and it looks like the big story, stuff beyond what was shown in the movie's limited scope, is pretty blatantly anti-big-oil...so take my last post with a grain of salt. jj abrams is probably not in bed with the republicans after all.
peace out.
