Cloverfield is Godzilla meets The Blair Witch Project. Essentially Godzilla’s attack on New York from the perspective of a group of friends or more accurately from the perspective of their old-model home video camera that severely lacks a shake-reduction/motion-stabilizer feature. Could have been an interesting story but the first-person perspective approach was dizzying and I don’t mean in a good way. Half of the time my eyes were closed trying to recover my sense. I should have listened to Eeya’s recommendation not to watch it. So maybe listen to mine: Don’t watch it if you are motion sickness prone!
