For those who read my journal...

So many of may or may not know J.J. Abrahms released a new monster flick set in the eyes of twentysomethings and their video camera. Set as a documentary to chronicle the destruction of New York City the night thier friend is moving to Japan to take on a VP job at Slusho. Anyway, an hour later boom Monster come out of nowhere and proceeds to attack the city, and while doing so drops parasites that are the size of small dogs, which proceed to attack the humans and the military.

Personally, Having seen the very first preview of this movie in Transformers, I was immediately drawn to the movie, not knowing whether it was a new Godzilla, a Voltron, or even something else entirely, I just knew i had to see it.

Well, Abrahms delivered, in what he calls Godzilla meet Blair Witch done right, his monster movie proves to have a new iconic monster on its way.

Well, any way, as I saw it yesterday night, many people where gasping and jumping and flat out crying, the movie made you feel for the characters, it showed exactly how they were feeling and it made them *the moviegoers* just feel for them. But anyway, after a black out, I heard someone proceed to clap, which was a good sign, but the final shot came on a 30 second clip that made the audience feel one more time for the tragedy that had happened. And when the credits came on, i revled in the fact I saw something so brilliant, so innovated, but the audienece had other feelings... The were in shock and disgust to how the movie ended. Honestly I dont blamed them, but you have to focus on the plot underneath rather than how it showcased it.

The camera is the POV from the camera man, there is no back angles to see what was on the other side. Just looking at it as if you were, which made you feel like you were there.

The only down side is that there is no soundtrack to it, only the songs you hear during the going away party. But there is a Cloverfield Overture titled Roar! that plays as the credits start to roll.

And also make sure to pay extra attention in the very last shot, to see the monster its kind of difficult. And Stay after the credits to view something thats just spinechilling.

Well thats my two cents

And by the way

You either loved it or hated it, with this movie, there is no middle ground.
