Smartly reconjures the 1950s monster movie for the digital age. It doesn’t feel like Cloverfield DVD is exploiting 9/11 because it’s so clear the movie is not meant to be taken any more seriously than any other monster movie. Armed to the teeth with an ingenious marketing campaign that sent internet geeks scrambling to their keyboards months ago, the ambitious Cloverfield is only moderately successful as a monster movie, but extremely provocative in many other ways. If you cannot stand even 10-15 seconds of painfully jumpy, sideways cinematography, try to fathom ‘Cloverfield’s’ 75 minutes of eye strain.
