Cloverfield

Not able to grade this film.
I'm a person that doesn't like to read synopsis of films before I go to see them. Honestly the only thing I knew about this film was it was a monster movie based in New York city. I had no knowledge about the whole thing is in point of view format and I am a person that gets really sick with that motion. Since seeing all of 20 min of this film I have heard many people say if you can handle the Blair Witch Project you will be fine with this. Personally I'm not agreeing with this. Although Blair Witch bothered me some and there was movement it was suppose to be 3 film makers doing a documentary, as opposed to this film where you have a guy that says he doesn't even know how to use the camera all holding it and moving it. So there is large swaying movements that were just personally too much for me. I know I'm not the only person bothered by this because there was a line to get refunds when I went to go get mine.
I will say what I saw of the acting, lighting, editing, and set it all looked pretty good.
