Cloverfield

[Alex]

I'm fine with it in this case but the line isn't a solid one. The movie could have been even more authentic and have ended at the 50 minute mark, down in the subway when the battery died or with Hud realizing that he has better things to be doing than worrying about zooming in on things.

Then I'd have been pissed at the movie for starting a story and not getting to what I considered a satisfactory conclusion. And I'd feel whoever was saying "but it was real and authentic" would be a poseur trying to get all hoity on me.

If, at the end of the movie, a person doesn't feel that enough was provided for the overall to be enjoyable that is their opinion. I don't think it is quite to the nimrod level of existence.

Of course, most of the word of mouth I've been hearing is "don't go see it, it'll make you sick."
