Did any one experience bad motion sickness at Cloverfield or witness people leav!


Question: I live in Pinetop,AZ and I tell ya at least half the theater left either sick or disappointed with the movie. I sat near the back hoping I wouldnt get sick but to no avail. Two people actually puked in the theater. That was enough for me. I got up and walked to the theater office and told the manager i wanted my money back. After seeing me doing this a hord of people came to the office right after me demanding their money back as well. They over used the "Im using a camcorder" explanation. It's called steadyshot look it up J.J. Abrams. I recommend this to no one, seriously. I heard alot of the reviews out there were planted to put a positive spin on the movie because J.J. was worried about the motion sickness concern. Minus the special effects I'm sure I could of made this movie with my HDD camcorder and had better quality and steadier shots. It has been 3 hours since the movie ended and I'm still sick, almost like when you read in the car. ugh.

Thanks. I'll be at my local theater with camcorder in hand with my Steady shot enabled to ask the movie goers what they thought of the movie "cloverfield". I'll be posting the responses on my myspace page. To find me just look up by email essex_s@yahoo.com. feel free to leave comments. thanks again. Report It

    yeah people were leaving the theatre all right

    laughing their asses off at such a borig pittifully made piece of crap

    For a short while it was dizzying, until I got used to the cinematography. Nobody left early, but many missed the mini-clip after the credits.

    I never seen stuff like that where I live.

    YES. I was one of them. I wanted to stay and watch the movie but I got the worst headache ever and I kept feeling like I was going to be sick. I left about 1/3 of the way through.

    I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.

    Yes!! If I had known the whole movie was going to be "shaky cam" I wouldn't have gone (and I love sci-fi and monster movies!). At first I didn't make the connection between my sick feeling and the constant motion. As the movie continued, I had to close my eyes and just listen to the movie because I was so close to throwing up. I would open my eyes occasionally when it seemed like something important was about to happen. I am so disappointed because I would've really enjoyed actually watching the movie!

    i WISH I would have taken a barf bag with me !! This movie was so totally a waste of time and film.. hope it doesn't go to dvd..CAUSE IT TOTALLY SUCKED.. AND THERE SHOULD BE WARNINGS TO PEOPLE WITH MOTION SICKNESS.. I WANT MY $6.00 BACK!!

    I lasted 10 minutes before experiencing extreme motion sickness. Beware...

    Sweating and barfing feelings were only a few of the sick symptoms I felt. This was the worst movie I have ever seen, or should I say, tried to see. I had to leave the theater after twenty minutes or so. I wanted to stay, but after I started sweating and contemplating my exit to the bathroom, I realized I had to leave. WARNING! IF MOTION SICKNESS COMES EASILY, BEWARE!

    I just got back from the theater about 20 minutes ago and got online specifically to look for others who felt motion sick during this film. I only missed the last 15 minutes or so, but still...what a waste. Strictly out of curiosity, for any of you who stayed all the way through, what occured in the last 15 minutes. The last part I think I saw was when they were climbing out of the window onto Beth's apartment building. Thanks!

    p.s. What was this clip after the credits?

    I experienced motion sickness about 20 minutes into the movie. I was hoping the camera shooting style would change after the party scene but it didn't. I walked out after 25 minutes and asked the concierge desk for first aid kit. They said they couldn't give me anything. I walked back into the movie only to walk out again after 10 minutes. I felt sick to my stomach and very very nauseous. Thankfully the theater gave me full refund. I was so disappointed. I was really looking forward to seeing the movie.

    YES! You're not alone, it's 1:40 a.m. 1/19/08 and we just ot back from a 11:30 showing... my wife and her mother are still very sick. They lasted until the part where the party was "interupted" and the statue of liberty's head came rolling down the street. We got vouchers for another movie from guest services, but we had to pay the price with motion sickness. I don't get motion sickness, but yet I'm a bit dizzy. Most of the crowd was young, we we're in our late 30's, so maybe young people can handle it better? Who knows. There definitely should be a disclaimer on that movie though.
