It’s never good when you are queing up for your popcorn and there are warning signs saying the film you just bought a ticket for might cause epilepsy and or motion sickness but there really was nothing else on in the cinema and my fingernails were sore from scraping the bottom of the barrell.

Cloverfield was hyped up late last year as one of the most jaw dropping trailers that was confused for real life footage. The viral and secrecy ended when the launch date was announced and it hit cinemas with a bang crash and wallop!

I didn’t get swept up with the media hype or the mixed reviews as I had just seen I Am Legend and although I very much had to have my arm twisted for that one Cloverfield looked like a bit of a copy cat!

The effects in this film are very good, the plot is wishy washy and it does have the ability to make you squirm and jump on a couple of occasions. It ends all too suddenly and leaves you in your seat going ‘is that all’ but contrary to me telling Ms Ben that there was something at the end of the credits love nor money could have kept me in the cinema.

Again the only thing that scores this film high is the effects. Personally the Blair-witch-esque shakey hand held camera work did nothing for me only give me pink eye.

My verdict, wait for it to come out on DVD, get it and convince yourself it would’ve been better on the big screen. But you’d be wrong.
