Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Cloverfield follows five New Yorkers from the perspective of a hand-held video camera. The movie is exactly the length of a DV Tape and a sub-plot is established by showing bits and pieces of video previously recorded on the tape that is being recorded over. The movie starts as a monster of unknown origin destroys a building. As they go to investigate, parts of the building and the head of the Statue of Liberty come raining down. The movie follows their adventure trying to escape and save a friend, a love interest of the main character. Written by Pip Carlson

When the group makes their escape into a small room in the subway, a partially-eaten meal on a table contains some bottles of Mountain Dew. The bottles have labels advertising a contest for the film "Transformers" which took place in the summer of 2007, when the scenes were filmed. The events of the film are said to take place in May of 2008. See more »Quotes

I didn't have high hopes for this one, having read the reviews. Monster movie meets Blair Witch. But it's absolutely an OK flick.
Great effects and an extremely cool apocalyptic atmosphere. Definitely worth a watch.
Hand-held camera can be tiring, yes - but in this case, and combined with the great effects, it works.
The plot itself isn't exactly news, but as it's all seen from the antagonists point of view and with no further explanation, you really get that "what would I have done"-feeling.
Yes, we need explanations, but I really like that Abrams hasn't tried to tag on an ending explaining what happened.
