1-18-08 Movie (wtf)

yeah, another review that sums up my frustration with the lack of pay-off / SHIT ending:

…directors think they can throw some digital magic and viral marketing together to attract attention. Well, let Cloverfield be an example: it fails miserably. The film is left open-ended, with absolutely no explanation as to why any of the “plot” happened in the first place. Almost everything that takes place in the movie seems utterly random and disconnected. The filming gimmick (making the movie look like it was done on a home DV camera) shook the screen so much that it left many people I saw this with dizzy. It was very hard to follow - and I got tired of seeing split-second glimpses of everything. You never get a good look at anything interesting in the movie at all.
