Cloverfield (Matt Reeves, 2008)

At first, i thought Cloverfield is only a standard Sci-fi movie involving monsters like Godzilla (which i really like), and i was ready to have a relaxing pop-corn time. The story was about 5 friends, tried to save their other friend that stucked in her apartment, while also tried to stay alive from the monster called Cloverfield.

The producer was J.J. Abrams (Lost), so that's gonna be good!

The movie started, and there's flashes of different scenes, taken from some handy-cam, and it made me confuse. I thought it was just an intro. Then there were scenes of some boring party moments, people giving testimonials about the person that's party was being held (later i knew that he's going to leave NYC). 

And yeah, the pictures still showed from 3rd person camera angle, my god it's going to be confusing and dizzy and i hate that..

but then, the story goes, and guess what? It's really more thriller than sci-fi, scary and played in real time, i felt as if i was there. Scary, and felt so real. And i like it!

Though i hate the ending, but for me it's a very realistic movie, and the ending was just perfect for the plot.It's not from some super-saviours trying-to-save-the-day-point of view, but just some regular kids that stucked in horrifiying monster attacks. They're just everyday people, like us. 

And for the monster, it's very almighty :p like cannot be killed..

The minus point: i just hate that rob and beth character, stupid stupid!
