Cloverfield

The United States Defense Department finds a videotape in what used to be Central Park in New York. The video recordings start off at a going away party. Rob Hawkins’s friends decided to throw him a surprise going away party because he decides to accept a job offer in Japan and is leaving the next day. All of a sudden, there was an earthquake that occurs and the people at the party see the news that a ship has capsized in the harbor area. They go to the penthouse to see what was going on and see the accident. There were explosions that was going on in the city. Getting to safety, everyone runs downstairs. There was a monster destroying New York. The movie is captured on the tape recording that the friend was using to record the party. It follows the group’s night trying to escape. Before escaping the monster, Hawkins needs to save a friend who he’s in love with.

During the movie, I was trying to picture myself in their shoes. Imagining myself trying to escape and survive this event was horrifying. It seemed like one of my bad dreams or something. It’s was obvious that the monster didn’t exist in real life and it seemed like it could happen because everyone says that the world is going to end. I just pictured this movie to be the end of the world. Throughout this movie I felt sorry for the characters because all this movie had was tragic events. Even though the movie was depressing at times, it is still a movie to see.
