cloverfield.

okay so finally after being in the “very long wait” category on netflix, Cloverfield was delivered to my mailbox today and i was prepared for the nauseating camera work and i was prepared for like scary alien mutant minions to fly out at people but i must say after ALL the hype and excitement, i was disappointed. I KNOW the whole point of the movie is that you are just watching a tape that was found in the middle of central park after everything happed BUT THATS what i didnt like about it. no back story. no clue as to what happends afterwards. some parts of the movie are super unrealistic and it sucks because the whole movie is supposed to be more realistic than a stereotypical monster movie because of the first person filming. ie: Beth being alive after like 5 hours of laying there with a steel beam in her shoulder?  Both Lily and Marlena are running through the city for quite some time with heels on? all i know is that im glad i did not PAY to see it in the theater and i think if i had it would have been more nauseating but it was entertaining for 85 minutes.
