'Cloverfield' makes one love special effects and the productions associated with their enhancement tricks. 'Cloverfield' is a movie where the characters peremptory needs are captured at vital moments by a found footage camera. Tumults of indiscretionary chatter and improvisatory sensations become the story of collected bits of film shot randomly. A focal point of tragedy relays a singular drama of apathy, and violence causes, for the viewer, his or her scrutiny to be amplified. Just when you eek out tensely the sensory story of 'Cloverfield' an image chaotically collected in the turning picture frame is everything your imagination could want to comprehend.
From a hand held camera the reception of Rob Hawkins(Michael Stahl-David) at his going away party in downtown New York City is recorded. The desperate efforts to extract anything noteworthy from the guests is seen. The gathering in this ornamented studio apartment is a carefree, upscale, twenty-something fraternity. Lilly Ford(Jessica Lucas) is intemperate. She is trying to relay a serious good-bye message for the video camera in honor of Rob's departure to Japan for a new job.
Hud(T.J. Miller) who is holding the camera, keeps moving the viewer off to focus on Marlene Diamond(Lizzy Caplan). Hud's voice, as he himself is behind the lens of the camera, is an instrumental presence. Under Hud's direction impromptu gossip is related to various guests in front of his viewfinder and under the microphone. Hud's disconsolate screaming will sire montages of macro-tense discombobulations of serenity. He responds in requisite vibes to earth rending jolts.
Here, in 'Cloverfield', the camera becomes the main character as the themes it observes and imparts are physically and pungently connected, more visceral as its human counterparts are timid. The guests of Bob's farewell party rush, with the rest of New York City, to the streets which are sub-situated to larger than life building towers which are profiled against the oceanic night sky in the gloam of foreboding mists in formless weird articulations.
The main street in the city is overwhelmed by falling rubble. The thunder and implosive pressures saturate the air and the camera turns or falls in suspended slackness. No modeled set could replicate in prepared detonations the frenetic bombardment of radial light bursts and framework dismemberments that transpire in attack confirming introductions. The terrific plush reality of these sights are achieved by the graphic CGI creations and placements. These were done by Double Negative and Tippett studios. Intimate actions of destruction are imposing and pour over blandlessly without restraining taboos in unchecked durations of time.
The drama unfolds, as the handheld camera records the continual screams of anarchy, or the condolences of welcomed emptiness. Suddenly, Rob's love interest, Beth McIntyre(Odelle Yustman), needs to be saved. The prospective rescuee makes her way into a bustling sequence of pictures. Likewise, the misguided run-ins with danger are comic hellos and good-byes.
'Cloverfield' is a 2008 found footage film directed by Matt Reeves and written by Drew Goddard. The poster reads: "Some Thing Has Found Us".

Super Amazing Awesome Steelbook
I don't need to say much about Cloverfield that hasn't already been said. This is a review for the super amazing awesome Steelbook. If 'Cloverfield' the movie was an actual assembled U.S. Government film reel we saw in theaters, then this Steelbook would be the container that houses that film reel. It looks like a metal military container that has been damaged because of the attack on New York. There are faux scratches and bends, with the embossing helping to sell the damage. This is probably one of the few Steelbooks where the more damage there is to it, the more realistic it looks. Please note, this is a DVD-sized case, so it's slightly taller than the blue Blu-ray cases. It has the same thickness as other Steelbooks. This is a beautiful Steelbook for collectors and an authentic artifact that could've come straight out of the Cloverfield. Recommended.

Todo un clásico en una bella edición combo 4K Ultra HD!
Soy fan del cine de J.J.Abrams, y cuando supe que Paramount Pictures había restaurado el clásico de 2008 "Cloverfield" en 4K Ultra HD en una edición combo con todos los formatos disponibles en una caja tamaño DVD, la compré de inmediato.MariaTodo un clásico en una bella edición combo 4K Ultra HD!

Se ve espectacular, mejor que nunca, con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie. Lo mejor es que trae todos los formatos en una sola caja, y el único inconveniente es que no me gusta el tamaño de la caja DVD , debió de ser chiquita como la de Blu-Ray
