Alex P @deadpizza_714 9 hrs ago I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It was so thrilling and kept you intrigued the entire time all the way to the end scene. I think this is one of J. J. Abrams best movies of all time. See more George K @Gkincaid1212 5 days ago A little on the shorter side of movies, but that’s okay. I like how the monster was kept off-screen for quite a portion of the movie, only making brief appearances, which I think works because less is more. This is the only found-footage movie I’ve watched all the way through and it’s a very wild ride with some pretty intense moments. Obviously, we can’t talk about this movie without the money shot; Lady Liberty’s severed head crashing into the street instantly lets you know that something is about to happen in New York… See more Kassidi L @krami96 Sep 7, 2026 Entertaining recorded style film. Very 2008-esque See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 6, 2026 Cloverfield = a *3 and 1/2* star movie See more Michelle G @tediously_brief Aug 25, 2026 was on the edge of my seat, heart-racing for 85 mins straight. the stamina and strength of the characters to run that much for that long amidst the chaos unfolding around them? sad we couldn't get more time with all of them. thought i might get motionsick from the handheld video camera pov but it actually was v immersive and really enhanced the uneasiness and urgency of the situation -- ww cinematography!!! wish i could see this in theaters on a bigggg screen. *stares at paramount pictures* See more Jack C @JackRat01 Aug 25, 2026 Cloverfield is still one of the best found footage films ever made, and honestly I appreciate the style even more now. The handheld camera and limited perspective make it feel like you’re actually there rather than watching a polished Hollywood monster film. I love that you never get the full picture. You’re stuck seeing everything from the characters’ perspective, so when something massive happens, you’re just as confused and panicked as they are. The monster feels more threatening because you rarely get a perfect look at it, while the destruction of New York feels genuinely chaotic. The characters also feel grounded. They’re just ordinary people trying to survive an insane situation, which makes everything feel much more believable. The sound, pacing and atmosphere are brilliant too. Even after all these years, the found footage style gives Cloverfield an intensity that a traditional monster film just can’t match. Genuinely brilliant and still holds up. 5/5.
