CLOVERFIELD REVIEW

Cloverfield is about a monster that attacks New York City. It is seen through the perspective of 5 New Yorkers that document the situation on a handheld camera. The subplot is a love interest which we see clips of previously recorded film throughout. I think it was a good choice to make the movie in the first person view because it makes you part of the experience like you were right there. We become attached to these character as 'we' struugle to escape the city. It is a good watch and highly entertaining. It makes us believe we're witnessing an event instead of watching a movie.
