I have a rather mixed review of the movie.
I liked the movie but I just don’t know how to accept it. I acknowledge the fact that it wasn’t a monster movie, I understood that it was a shaky cam movie and I expected the mystery that J.J. Abrams demands. I just can’t say it was a “great” movie.
I would say that it was a “good” film and I was glad to see it but in a few weeks it’ll be forgettable until I want to see it again on DVD. I mention it as a “film” because it had a lot of depth, charactor development and a sense of connection. At least that’s how I see it.
I do hope everyone who is thinking about seeing Cloverfield does, especially in the theaters. It was a good film, not a good action flick, but a film.
[minor spoiler alert]
I’m suspecting that they’re going to position it for sequels. Since the movie’s secondary plot was the monster they could easily create another with the monster backdrop, by simply tagging the script at the beginning. A sequel would catch my interest a lot, I’d even be excited for a sequel with the military vantage point whether it finished with the monster plot or not.
