thebitterguyUday & his fiance Posh (aka The Lt) took in Cloverfield w/ Cynra and I.
I have no idea what movie other people were expecting to see, but it was good. It was very short, really. 85 minutes.
But the story they told was exactly the story that was promised: A group of friends are in NY when it is attacked by something horrid.
Personally, I would have been perfectly happy to see nothing of the monster; the movie wasn't about it. It was about them. If they got close enough to see it, it should have been close enough that, well, that was that.
We had a chatty group of idiots behind us (THAT'S why we don't go see movies on opening night!) who seemed to be the perfect people to sit behind someone you don't like, in another theatre.
