I just wanted to warn any MSers that get vertigo really easy to see that movie at their own risk.

Cloverfield has actually replaced the movie To Live And Die In LA as the worst movie I've ever seen. Only because of how sick Cloverfield made me feel.

When I was about 6 or 7yrs old and my dad took me to the premiere of Star Wars, the scene for the battle at the Death Star made me a bit woozy too, but nowhere near the spinning vertigo that Cloverfield did. But, the Death Star scene only makes me a little light headed if I watch it on a large movie screen. So why did I see Star Wars over 300 times in the theatres the first time it was released? I guess back then I was able to ignore the two or three minutes of discomfort. Plus, Star Wars is totally cool.

Cloverfield was an hour and a half (I think) of jerky, bouncy, vertigo inducing camera movements. It didnt let up until the credits started to roll.

Hi Erin
Thanks for the vertigo info re: Cloverleaf. It is now a no see movie for me. I'm dizzy most of the time and vertigo is even worse. I appreciate the heads up.

Oh man, I am finished with movie theaters period for that very reason. I went to see Enchanted, the first in a theater in years, and my head was swimming even just watching that movie.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'm a DVD girl now and it doesn't sound like I'll even be able to stand it that way!

Thumbs down

I just saw a couple of seconds preview on a CNN health show warning about this movie. I got all wonky and dizzy I guess I can take that movie off my list of things-to-do this year.

My 19 year old saw it with some of his friends and one of the girls had to excuse herself quickly because she got motion sickness and ended up vomiting. Nine bucks to see a movie that makes you vomit...no thanks, LOL.

Thanks for the warning..although I probably won't be going back to see a movie anytime soon! Last one I went to the noise was so loud...YIKES! I KNOW I couldn't stand one that makes me dizzy.

Yep, went and saw it with DH. I had to keep my eyes closed the whole time. Would have left but DH wanted to see it.

I get motion sickness very bad.

The things we do for love

This is definitely the worst movie I've ever "not" seen. What a waste of film. It does give me hope tho. If someone would waste resources on a film like that then the movie script I'm writing should be a great success!
