That would have been a good name for this movie, echoing perhaps the most quotable line of dialog from the film. But to be honest, it wouldn’t have mattered what the title was — you could call it “Milk and Cereal” and it would have still been an awesome move.

Based on the trailers, I expected a more mature attempt at Blair Witch filmmaking, with something of a sci-fi suspense twist. In a way, I was right, but also in a way I was completely wrong.

This movie is like nothing you have ever seen before. It defies all genres. I walked out of the theater amid a sea of voices muttering things like “wow. what did we just watch?” This is film history. In a time when everything coming from Hollywood is just a rehash of something else Hollywood gave us years ago, Cloverfield is the birth of something truly unique.

The true genius of the film is in its synergy of iconic elements from the history of handheld video cameras, as well as a few what-ifs, imagining how something might have looked if it had been seen by a camera. It’s Blair Witch meets America’s Funniest Home Videos, meets Godzilla, meets 9/11 documentary, meets the Zapruder film, meets Titanic, meets King Kong.

Basically, it’s like everything you’ve ever seen before, yet this film is like nothing you have ever seen before.
