I saw Cloverfield over 3 hours ago and I am still shaking because of it. I saw the movie in Union Square and afterwards I was terrified walking out onto the street, any noise made me jump. It was a very traumatizing movie for me. The filming from a video camera made me feel like I was actually experiencing it. There were some funny moments to the movie but it was all pretty scary.
I would not recommend seeing the movie in the city.
I don't think the poster was directly made to make reference to 911 but is a major piece of special effects and a striking image.
Being that I was directly involved and continue to be involved in the outcome of 911, I don't take these images personally. If I did any scene of downtown Manhattan would then be a bother. There is a difference between remembering and being stuck in the events.
Very well said.Quote:

I'm going friday after work but my almost 18 year old son and his buddies saw it last Friday
and really liked it.
The filming style of the movie sucked, big time. The movie is filmed using a hand-held video camera, so throughout the entire movie the camera was jerking all around, so much so, that it took away from the movie....Quote:

Just think of when you have a 10 year old film a wedding, looks like it was filmed during an earthquake....

That is the best place to see it!! I understand though what you are talking about. I saw it last
night at Kips Bay (32 and 2nd) and it was kinda wierd as I walked up to Penn Station after viewing
this movie. That said...I really enjoyed this movie. It was scary and the use of the video camera
made it seem more real. One complaint was that it wasnt long enough. Clocks in under less
that 80 minutes. The other was that they spent maybe too much time introducing the main characters at the party etc but I think that just sets up the fact that these are real people, young
people enjoying live and each other then... BAM!!! Their lives are forever changed in an instant, out
of nowhere.
The FX were pretty cool and I would like to see a sequel. A movie made with traditional cameras with full special effects shown from the military/govt point of view that would explain more and of course show more action.
I have to disagree with one reviewer who said not to see it in the theaters. With the Dolby sound and widescreen it makes the viewing experience more enjoyable. And after awhile you get used to
the shaky aspect of the camera.
And for those who discussed the 9/11 aspects of the movie there is really only one scene that
definitely brings back the memory of that day. It is right after the initial attack by the monster
and concerns a building collapse. After that it is pretty much a scifi monster flick. One that I thought was pretty good.
In fact a sign of a good movie is one that makes you think about it long after the movie is over. This one still resonates with me.
