movie review - Cloverfield
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Tokyo, 2010.06.22
This is a sci-fi monster flick in which New York is invaded quite out of the blue by a towering creature dozens of meters tall (if not more) and dripping its young onto the city as it rampages about. The film stars a small gang of young people trying to out-run the mayhem. This is not generally successful, and the story is innovative in its telling to a degree that I wasn't expecting. This is neither a Godzilla movie or a zombie movie.
Recommended.
