Cloverfield is Nausiating

Theaters showing Cloverfield are posting warnings of possible motion sickness.

I still have not seen Cloverfield, but the sneek peak that I saw the other day reminded be of the Blair Witch Project movie. The reason for this is because of the camera techniques used. It was just like a person that drank to much caffeine had a camera mounted on their head.

Apparently the whole movie is like this and its making viewers sick. Sick enought to bail out and not finish the movie.

" One blogger on the popular movie database IMDB.com said, “I had to get up and leave the theater for nearly 20 minutes just to keep from hurling.” Other moviegoers have reported being nauseated and dizzy.

Most viewers are unaffected by the film, but for those who are, experts say the problem is in their heads.

“This is a classic case of vertigo,” said Dr. Michael G. Stewart, chairman of otorhinolaryngology (ear, nose and throat medicine) at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weil Cornell Medical Center. “You can look around and feel like things are moving, when they aren’t.”

Vertigo is caused when a person’s balance system gets confused. Your body feels a strong visual sensation of movement but in reality, you aren’t moving at all. The disconnect confuses your brain sensors and can cause dizziness and nausea, Stewart said. "

The movie has brought in more than $40 million dollars on its opening weekend…do you think they care if people finish it or not?
