Hopeful Help from Devin – A Review of Cloverfield from the Future

A few days ago I actually looked at a calendar and realized that the release of 1-18-08 falls on January 18.

As such, I will be in Juarez, Mexico building a house. I will more than likely not see Cloverfield on opening weekend. I will need some help from the most experienced blogger in our team of contributors.

Devin, the MVP.

If you don’t see it opening weekend, no stress. I’ve traveled to the future and back with two possible futures:

While I enjoyed the expanding woman being quarantined and the giant monster rampaging with its smaller parts, I felt like Tagruato was too similar to the Umbrella Corporation with Evil that was Resident and the hype did not deliver with originality. I also was thrown off by Matthew Fox and John Lovitz playing quarantined scientists. Everyone important dies except for Robert and his new love (since Beth died expandedly). All in all, the shakiness and cellphone coverage made me nauseous, not with motion but gimmick. Libya is a land of many contrasts.

OR

I LOVED IT! From the cautionary tale about personal freedoms and information overload, it only added on to the great sci-fi/horror action. Hearkening back to the Godzilla days of yore, we learn to respect the enviornment and each other. Since it’s not a big-time cast (with the exception of a surprise appearance by Christopher Walken as a store clerk) it’s more believable when the alternative media delivers the story. Drink Slusho! and enjoy.

Just copy and paste the appropriate review.
