I think the mundane perspective and ordinary characters were meant to ground the movie. Most kaiju movies follow elite scientists or squads of soldiers so it’s a bit easier to relate to regular people just bumbling around (and a lot cheaper to film).
See, this is what got me into the theater for Cloverfield, I wanted this movie. It’s a bummer I got it in the form of some particularly jittery found footage. I was hoping for something more akin to those goofy disaster movies, but the disaster is a kaiju; not just in tone, but in how it was shot. As you say, some more spectacle would have gone a long way. That, or to really drill down and get into the “human horror” aspect and maybe make the military/authority figures more antagonistic.
All in all, I guess I’m glad Cloverfield succeeded despite my personal feelings because we got 10 Cloverfield Lane which, while not without problems of its own, I enjoyed much more

Mr. Jones’s ancestors also scream in his brain, but a lot of that is due to the pesticide
You mean “don’t get caught doing crimes”
I know they’ve talked about who they’ll do if Jones really does vanish from the public eye but all disrespect to the man: who could fill his role on their show?

So your stance is literally “human lives are a worthy sacrifice for this endeavor”
I fell asleep behind the wheel for maybe four seconds one time (the dreaded double clopen) and have had infrequent nightmares of being trapped in a vehicle that is uncontrollably accelerating ever since
The great thing about living in the future is that your dreams are daily becoming a reality
Is a home not under the constant annual threat of becoming unaffordable (I’m talking about renting, since you since seem to have reading comprehension difficulties) “too much” for someone to expect to achieve?

Did you read the article? Could you give a few quotes as to why that is your main takeaway here?
Having a nice buildup of lead in your body actually blocks the 5G signals that your COVID vaccine nanobots would otherwise be receiving from the government, actually!

It’s the only way to be sure.
