Cloverfield Synopsis:

On the eve of his departure for Japan, Rob (Michael Stahl-David) sees his going-away party as an opportunity to confess unresolved feelings and tie up loose ends. His agenda takes an unexpected turn when a jolt shakes the revelers. The crowd quiets down to watch news reports of an earthquake, then rushes to the roof to assess the damage. A fireball explodes on the distant horizon. A power failure follows. Confusion gives way to panic as the partygoers stumble through the blackout and into the streets. Amid the human screams and one inhuman roar, Rob and his friends must traverse a landscape that has changed, overtaken by something otherworldly, terrifying, monstrous...

After what seems like an eternity filled with rumored name changes (I've lost count of how many names this film has "reportedly" had during its production), insane viral marketing, countless television ads, and a hype level just a notch below Snakes on a Plane, Cloverfield is finally upon us. I've got to be honest-I've been all over the place with this film in the year or so leading up to its release. I was excited early on, I stuck with it through the viral campaign, but I started to suspect the film might be an exercise in style over substance as it got closer to release. Now that I've seen the film, I can tell you first hand that it delivers the goods. Cloverfield is an intense and engaging monster movie that may very well breathe life back into a dead genre while demonstrating that there's fertile soil left to be tilled in this particular cinematic field.

It's May in the Big Apple and a group of hip young urbanites are having a going away party for their buddy Rob. Suddenly, the lights start to flicker and explosions boom in the distance. Everything goes nuts. The four main characters decide to flee the city, but change their plans when they discover that one of their friends is trapped in a mound of debris. They decide to save her, which leads to an adventure filled with close calls, wicked monsters, death, and unexpected twists. J.J. Abrams, director Matt Reeves, and screenwriter Drew Goddard clearly understand that the best way to tell these sorts of stories is to keep it simple and keep it moving.

The plot certainly isn't deep and owes at least a nod to films like The Blair Witch Project and Ruggero Deodato's infamous Cannibal Holocaust. Like those two films, Cloverfield utilizes a lot of documentary-styled handheld footage and discovered footage from other sources to fill in gaps in the story. The big difference between Cloverfield and The Blair Witch Project is that Cloverfield actually shows its monster.

And what a monster it is. When the beast from Cloverfield makes his onscreen debut, the monster movie geek in me was very pleased. Any giant monster movie is only as good as the creature everyone's running from (or in the case of Godzilla, rooting for), and this is another spot where Abrams and company got it right. I was impressed with the creature from The Host, but the Cloverfield beast just blows it away. I think at least part of the reason it works as well as it does is because of the decision to use the handycam footage. The first person perspective gives the events unfolding onscreen a very "you are there" vibe and makes the effects seem somehow more real-probably because there's less distance between the viewer and the action onscreen.

The film's cast is filled primarily with newcomers (Michael Stahl-David, Mike Vogel, Lizzy Caplan, and Jessica Lucas) which was another good choice. The film works because the characters aren't people who're stars playing a role. Sure, everyone in the film looks like they stepped out of an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue, but since we don't recognize most of them as actors, we're allowed to buy into the whole "this is real" vibe set up by the filming style. This is essentially the same approach Blair Witch took, and once again it works. No one will be winning acting awards for their work in Cloverfield, but everyone in the cast does a fine job reacting to a monster that isn't even there.

Perhaps the greatest thing about Cloverfield as a whole is that it runs a sparse 80 minutes. In an age where every filmmaker thinks he needs to be Peter Jackson and make four hour movies, it's refreshing to see a genre film that comes in, hits you hard, then sends you on your way. The film has a story to tell, and it tells it in a fashion that never flags from the beginning until the end credits roll. Again, the decision is a sound one-the film is more intense with its short running time because there are no wasted moments. Set-pieces come fast and furious and the audience rarely has a chance to catch their breath as one problem is solved just as another takes center stage. That's good filmmaking-hopefully more production people will emulate it.

Don't let all of that fool you into thinking there's no subtext in the film, though. Cloverfield may be a simple monster movie at its heart, but like Godzilla before it, there's definitely things happening beneath the surface. Godzilla was largely a way for the Japanese to deal with the horror of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in World War II. Cloverfield appears to be something of an attempt for us to look back at the horror of 9/11 and move forward. It's not particularly deep, but it's certainly there.

So, after what seems like an eternity of waiting, Cloverfield is finally here-and the wait was worth it. Don't get me wrong-it isn't high art or anything that will change your life. What it is is a damn good monster movie-something we haven't had in quite awhile (well, except for The Host). This is something of a rarity for Hollywood these days-a hyped up event film that actually lives up to its buzz and becomes a genuine event. Fans of creature features will undoubtedly enjoy this, while more casual film fans who don't mind genre flicks will find much to like as well. Bravo, J.J. Abrams, bravo.
