Awesome movie.

How often in life do things happen that NEVER get explained, or we are left with questions that we never get satisfactory answers for... It leaves you with the unsettling feeling that not only is this scenario possible, but it is plausible, too...

When I saw it, the guys in front of me seemed to be the types who were all over it, fanboy-style, judging from how they acted during the previews. But when the credits started rolling, they were like, "That was IT?!" I shouted back, "Well, how was it supposed to end?" Their reply: "I dunno, they should have [spoiler]killed the monster/explained it[/spoiler] or something!"

Can't expect too much.

I agree with some critiques I read that noted horror movies were typically not as frightening as horror first person shooters because the first one causes the person to fell ike a detached observer, while the latter makes the person feel as though they are there. Cloverfield did an excellent job of doing what other movies had only tried and failed to do: use the first person perspective effectively.
