'cloverfield' illness
if you plan on seeing cloverfield at a theater, sit back. and i mean way in the back. i saw it last weekend with my brother and a friend of ours. half way through the movie, she felt ill and had to leave because of motion sickness.
i did feel like i was on a roller
coaster ride but i didn't mind. i did, however, have a hard time
focusing on a few scenes and somehow i overlooked one small detail at the end. my brother asked if i'd seen it and when he described it, i had to find out for myself. there was another showing that was about to end so i popped in to see what i had missed. good thing i did because it answered the whole "where the hell did it come from" question.
anyway, the movie was entertaining and it did live up
to my expectation--it was intense...very blair witch meets godzilla in the mist.

I don't know if your theater did it, but mine had a disclaimer up regarding diziness/nauseau/seizure-potential, etc.
goldie, there wasn't a warning and i would be surprised if they didn't have one by now.
budd, the sequel gave me a headache, i was so mad.
atropos, oh, i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people missed it. if you were looking around the area of the yacht, you would have seen it. i don't want to give it away but ***spoiler*** it was something that looked like a meteor, though it wasn't much of a fireball so i should say a giant rock splashdown into the ocean. anyway, something fell from the sky two weeks before the encounter and i think it was the creature. i thought it was strange that the the military was able to mobilize so quickly; they must have had some idea, maybe a blip on the radar... but i'm just guessing.
i did want to see this movie until i heard it was very 'blair witch' styled. now i don't mind if it stays off my queue for ever.
so, bring on the spoilers! the storyline sounded interesting. :)
but every once in a while i do wanna actually go to the theater to watch a flick. hehehe.
