So, we went to see Cloverfield tonight and it was really good. A lot of people are complaining because they feel ripped off with the ending since it didn't explain anything. Once again, people show how stupid they are, completely missing the point of the movie. :/ It wasn't SUPPOSED to explain anything; that was the whole POINT. It was all about the fear of the unknown, VERY Lovecraftian. I love things like this. I loved King's "The Mist," because the short story didn't explain a single thing about the monsters that were attacking and why they were attacking. It just makes it seem more REAL. It bugged me that people were complaining. If that actually happened in real life, there would be no little man sitting there telling you every exact detail about the monster and its purpose. :/ It would be exactly like how it was portrayed in the movie; chaos and the fear of NOT knowing. It kinda put you IN the movie, bcause you felt just as confused as the characters and you wanted to know just as much as they did about what was happening. I actually wished there was a little less of the monster in the movie, but nevertheless, the camera shots and angles gave me the chills. xD The scenery was amazing, and so were the effects. People thought it would be a crap movie since it was shot with a handicam, but this movie was MEANT for the handicam. If it had been shot normally, it would have ruined it. The handicam totally WON.

So, if you aren't too obsessed with movies that have happy and resolved endings, go see this one. If you DO like your happy and resolved endings, don't go see it. :/
