Word of Advise to who want to watch Cloverfield

[snookumsnort]

Ok, I've seen it! I know the movie has been getting mixed reviews and I don't think I'm qualified to give a review of it because I had my eyes shut 3/4 of the time. So I'm handing out tips instead.

If you want to enjoy it, go with the mindset of someone who has motion sickness and still rides the rollercoaster. Don't look for a great plot or great effects or even the deeper meaning to the story. It really is like riding a rollercoaster, you just want the thrill of watching it.

I suggest you don't buy popcorn. Bring mints, lots of it. And if you have a handy headache balm, bring it. Bring anything that will help you counteract nausea. Better yet, a barfbag will probably come in handy.

From the trailers I've watched, it seems like the acting is very "flat" so-to-speak.... I felt like I was watching a bad homemade movie attempt (though the special effects looked pretty good). I can definitely see where the barf bag could come in handy!

I haven't seen Cloverfield yet, but everything I have heard about it suggests one of those brainless "Blockbuster" films that they usually reserve for Summer releases, such as that terrible U.S made Godzilla film back in 98 or so.

Since I haven't seen the film yet myself, I may be too harsh on it.

If nothing else, it looks like a fun ride I suppose.

Maybe i'll go see it, but I won't rush for it.

I actually had quite fancied seeing this until I read this post. I sincerely appreciate the heads up because I know that I would have been horribly disappointed.

Another tip...I did hear in the radio that viewers should wait up to end of the credits...if you make it that far. I won't just say what you'll find out so as not to spoil anything.

I think I'll just wait for the DVD or better yet I'll just rent it out during the 2 for $5 weekend special at our local rental shop
