Most people seem to have either loved or hated Cloverfield. I’m sort of in the middle. After seeing it the first time I really liked it… then when I watched it a second time all the flaws in the film really stood out more and I didn’t like it at all. Film is a strange thing.
Anyway, producer JJ Abrams just made this statement in an interview talking about how Cloverfield was actually made to be best experienced on a monitor rather than the big screen:
“The thing about this movie — probably more than any I think — is that it is better on DVD than in the theater,” Abrams told Reuters. “Because the movie is like a videotape. It lives on your TV. In many ways, it is supposed to be viewed on a (TV) monitor.”
Interesting quote. Abrams fans will be sure to quickly denote this statement as visionary. The funny thing though, is that I don’t recall Abrams ever saying this before… let me check…. nope, never said it before. So why is he coming out and saying this now? Oh right… the Cloverfield DVD is coming out. Go figure. (Source: Yahoo News)
