My Thoughts
I was a huge fan of the original "Cloverfield" and for years I have been waiting for a sequel. When this trailer appeared out of nowhere a few months ago and after watching it I wasn't sure that this film had anything to do with the Original Film. Then I heard from J.J. Abrams that this film while not a direct sequel to the original, it is set in the "Cloverfield" Universe ,which was good enough for me. After seeing this film it was very different than the original this was a very good film that I highly recommend. First the acting was top notch all three members of the main cast did an awesome job, with special mention to John Goodman, I haven't seen him in an acting role in quite some time but he was so good in this role one of the best performances I have seen by an actor in recent memory.I have been a fan of Mary Elizabeth Winstead since Final Destination 3 and she as with John Goodman is an actor I have not seen in a while, she was really good in this also. After seeing the trailer for the first time I still wasn't sure what to make of the film in terms of the plot and how it would flow together, The film flowed together very well and it kept me interested the entire run time of the movie. What I really liked about the film was just the tense moments throughout the film and the way the actors conveyed it with their faces and actions, I don't see many films like this that have me engaged so thoroughly and it was a pleasure to see this film. I didn't have many gripes with the film the only part that I didn't like very much was the ending sequence it felt a bit cheesy to me but in retrospect how it effected the character experiencing the entire situation it made sense in the broad scope of the film. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 89% saying "Smart, solidly crafted, and palpably tense, 10 Cloverfield Lane makes the most of its confined setting and outstanding cast -- and suggests a new frontier for franchise film making". I agree with everything that was said t his was a fantastic film and in this early stage of the year one of the best I have seen. I highly recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of a good thriller or a fan of the first "Cloverfield" (there are a few minor references that are hard to spot but they are there).
