Vantage point of Cloverfield in the Mist

Hmm, does the title make sense? Anyway, for Cloverfield, I've read some nasty reviews that it's trying to do a Blair Witch Project and that people coming out of the cinemas are overwhelmed with nausea. The hand-held camera style lends very well to the story, in my opinion. The pace is gripping and much like a horror film, the characters dies one by one. Also, not placing the big momma creature in full plain view was a good strategy. All in all, Cloverfield is an entertaining movie. 3.5 over 5 stars! Onto The Mist. Almost silly. The ending is frustrating. 2 out of 5 stars!
And then to something that didn't disappoint. Vantage point. Wow. You have to see it and enjoy it for yourself. Hopefully you don't watch it with an audience who loudly reacts to the film's style of rewinding back to almost the beginning to present each "vantage point". 3.75 out of 5 stars!
