Something Has Arrived

Over the weekend I managed to go watch the so-called movie "Cloverfield". Now I must say when I first saw the trailer a while back I was interested in how the actually advertised it. They used what was an actual video camcorder, which was a first person view. The trailer showed what was a going away party and then suddenly a monster attacks and in the end you see the head of the statue of liberty being hurled down the street. Now this was interesting because they way they advertised it made viewers intrigued and actually want to see it. When I went to go see it I was expecting a movie where they show a third person view of it, but no, they actually kept with the whole first person camcorder view. They kept the story around a guy named rob Hawkins and his family and friends and how they went through the whole ordeal of a monster attacking New York City. You at first only see bits and pieces of the monster as would someone would actually see it in first person no such as a bird’s eye view. How they managed to film it was excellent and managed to use they camera angel as if it was a documented film left behind. The movie was suspenseful and actually drew you into the movie as if you were the person video taping everything. It was truly amazing how they managed to film this and still be able to get every little detail possible out of it. It is a great film to go see and see how if you were someone actually in a situation where a monster attacked and you were right smack down in the middle of it all.
