Cloverfield

The movie starts at a party for Rob (Michael Stahl-David), who has accepted a job promotion in Japan. Hud (T. J. Miller) is entrusted with the responsibility of videotaping the party. As the trouble grows, he holds on to the camera, recording everything that happens. The entire movie is seen through the lens of his camera. As terrified people in a post-9/11 New York City take to the streets, Rob decides to head uptown to try to save Beth (Odette Yustman), the woman he loves, though he's afraid to tell her so. Rob is joined by his brother Jason (Mike Vogel), Jason's girlfriend Lily (Jessica Lucas), Lily's friend Marlena (Lizzy Caplan), and Hud, who has a thing for Marlena. Rob is determined not to give up, even after almost being crushed by the Statue of Liberty's head and as the military shows up to force evacuation of the city.

Personally, I thought Cloverfield was a horrible movie. It consisted of just a bunch of screaming, loud noises, no moral to the story, and no logic. Also, the fact that it was shot as a "home movie" was nauseating. Why on Earth would that type of movie be in theaters? Of course, this is just my opinion. It definitely wasn't a movie that a girl/woman would like. So in my opinion, don't waste your money. If you really want to see what it's about, wait until it comes out on DVD or paperview.
