I've actually never seen Cloverfield. I missed it right when it came out, and by the time I would have been able to watch it, I feel like the cultural moment had passed and all my friends who'd be into watching it already had, and nobody else wanted to see it.
I really love art that effectively uses implication and negative space within the narrative to let imagination tell the story.
Thanks for the review. Now I have a fallback option the next time I'm stuck trying to figure out what to watch.
Hope you enjoy it when you get around to checking it out! The imagination behind the movie and the concept is off the charts. :)
