2nd WORST FILM EVER!!!
What... was that it!!! was that what all the fuss was about? I can't believe I've just wasted 2hrs of my life plus forked out for tickets, pop corn & drinks to just to sit through this poorly written pap. The cast are OK & the effects & story are beleivable & passable enough on their own but dear, oh dear has no one bothered to tell the writter/direct how to build any suspence? At one point the script resembles a Christmas Panto more than a Hollywood blockbuster 'its behind you'

Good film but worth getting blu-ray version?...
Really good film but I would probably not recommend getting it on Blu-ray as the way it is shot does not lend itself to HD. Sound also quite annoying as speech is very low volume so when you turn it up to hear it you get blasted by the action sequences when they arrive.

Must admit I would recommend the film as it is an extremely good watch. Just question whether worth getting the blu-ray version.

AMAZING
I have now seen this film twice on blu ray and absolutely loved the film from start to finish. Looks and sounds amazing on hi- def.
Highly recommended.

It's a monster movie, pure and simple.
Many reviewers didn't love Cloverfield due to a lack of substance in the characters and others questioning why the guy didn't just drop the camera to begin with considering the situation. However, I can't help but feel when considering what sort of film we're witnessing, where is the harm in suspending one's belief system and allowing ourselves to believe and be absorbed? The hectic camera and the incredible special effects come together so well, I find it hard to believe that anyone could claim that Cloverfield, at the very least, isn't a ground breaking movie that pulls out all the stops. Cloverfield was never meant to be anything but a straight up monster film, and that's exactly what it is. Incredible from start to finish, and even better when watched in high definition.
