Cloverfield___ A Bad Robot production

So went to the Olympus and saw the much hyped Cloverfield last night....Very interesting film, very cleverly done. Of course I had read the wiki before...so I knew what to expect..somewhat. First, it started like a party video, I think that went on too long..the party i.e. THEN the action, the building shaking, the frantic running, the rolling of the Liberty Statue head in the road where they stood...Film goes on and what is strange is that you don't really see the full size of the monster thingy until the middle...the group walks into the subway, main character guy tells his mom his brother died, the group goes in the tunnels...ooh horrible, spider-like creatures, probably the spawn of the monster which was currently destroying the NYC attacks...One of the group is bitten pretty badly...right.... goes on...group travels to a friend's apartment, rescues her, boards a helicopter...Ahhh this when we get a real feel of the monstosity, It's big! Really Big..US Army fires everything they have and can at it, it gets hit and appears to be down, then AAAAAHH it rises and lashes out at the helicopter which loses control and crashes...2 survive and shelter under a bridge, their last words are I love you, I love you, then, the bridge collapses around them..TragiC...THE FILM ENDS..interestingly without further reason...People in the cinema were like 'It Done???!" SCHTUSPPES! Mind you this film was shown in a camcorder format with lots of jumpy scenes...Lovely....OOOH nice part was the closest we got to see of the monster, bloody git filming just happened to be between the many legs oF the thingy, It bows it head, zooms in AAAANNNND...Lol..Brilliantly done man (JJ Abrams, best film I've seen for the year...Previews in the cinema were The Eye, They will Be Blood, Vantage Point, Jumper, 10000 b.c and the spoof parody Meet The Spartans, I wish they had previewed Step Up 2: The Streets...Off to Shack Out. Lol
