Cloverfield
Clovefield is one of those movies that you should watch at least once in your life. It stands out from your typical monster movie in its own special ways.
First and most noticable, is the point of view; it doesn't ever feel like your watching a movie, but rather living the movie with the main characters. It's completely shot from a hand camera which gives it a very realistic feeling. To some, it may be a little dizzying, because the camera moves so frantic, so be prepared for some fast paced screen movements.
Another thing that I enjoyed about the movie is the sound. You can almost always hear either gunfire, helicopters, or the monster roaring, making it feel like if you're out on the streets too!
Finally the idea of the story isn't too much out of the ordinary, giant monster attacks town, military fights it, and people struggle to survive it. The acting is so-so, I can't say I've seen any of the actors before, but dont let that stop you from seeing this movie!
