If any of you are planning to go see the movie Cloverfield, and you're really susceptible to vertigo, read this news story.

I went to see that movie on sunday night with my boyfriend and a friend of his (his friend picked the movie, it was his birthday)

About 20 or 30 minutes into the movie, I started to feel sick. Little while later, I had vertigo. Thank goodness that I carry Dramamine with me all the time now. (after 3 months of very active surprise! vertigo attacks, I learned to always be ready for it)

I ended up listening to most of the movie, I dont think Boyfriend realized that I didnt watch the movie. I still have my ticket stub, I might just email the theatre and see if I can get my money back. (I couldnt just stand up and leave, I'd have fallen down and would have had to crawl out of the threatre)

The movie itself was not too bad, wasnt too disgusting special effects-wise. A few scenes with some blood, and a gross looking monster destroying New York City. The acting wasnt too bad for a bunch of unknown actors too.

But, I was so ill by the end of the movie...Boyfriend and his friend wanted to stay and watch the credits, and were surprised when I got up and stumbled down the stairs (after everyone else had left the theatre...I didnt want people to see me fall down)

Boyfriend didnt seem to believe me about the vertigo. Now with that link, I've got proof that it wasnt just me! Other people (apparently non-MSers) also got ill from the movie.

I'm never again seeing a movie filmed in that style (like one of the characters is the guy running the videocamera, with jerky, vertigo-inducing camera angles)
