Alright, tell me I'm not the only one who saw a trailer for this when seeing Transformers. It looks insane. Don't think this will count as spoilers since it was in the trailer, but just to be safe.
(SPOILER)Basically it's shot using home video cameras, and it starts off with some guy having a going away party. It looks just sort of like another independent drama comedy about this guy, but then all of a sudden there's a big earthquake and people start to go a bit crazy. They all run up to the roof to see the lower half of Manhattan, and one of the buildings erupts into a huge ball of fire after this unidentified object from the sky comes flying down and hits it. Then people really start to go crazy and the camera is dropped and blacks out. Then it comes back up and they're out running to get out onto the streets and it keeps cutting in and out. All of a sudden this huge flaming object comes flying through the air and lands on the street and it's the ripped off head of the Statue of Liberty. You can hear this odd freaky roar in the background as more huge flaming/smoking things fly through the air and it ends with people running and screaming. There is no title for the movie, it only shows “Produced by J.J. Abrams" and says “1.18.08″ and flashes the credit block of names for about a half second and that's it.
It's really crazy to watch, since the cinematography makes it look and feel like you are there, which really gets to em. I did some research and found out that apparently it's codename is Cloverfield. Looks like a freaking sweet movie in my opinion, since it's kind of like the Blair Witch Project except, you know, good.
