how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 48 comments (46 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 13 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 13 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The setup at the start only takes 15 minutes but it sure feels like it takes 25.”

“the 'found footage' set up does start to feel a little contrived by the movies conclusion”

“it just throws you straight into chaos and lets you survive the night with the characters”

“When the creature attacks for the first time and you see that head of the Statue of Liberty slam into the street, it’s not some big dramatic cinematic moment — it feels like some random person actually captured it by accident, which makes the whole thing ten times more intense. The sense of panic, the screaming in the background, the camera shaking because the person holding it is te”

“the placement of the camera makes the chaos and mayhem of this spontaneous citywide catastrophe feel completely vivid and tangible. It's like we're there with the victims; our pulse racing, our eyes widened by the dead and injured, our skin coated by the dust of so much crumbled concrete.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“A dazzling experiment that paid off immensely, this is cinematic pleasure at its purest. One caveat: If they ever make a sequel, we’re taking two stars back.”
Olly Richards, Empire · 100
“It puts human faces on the victims of mass destruction, faces that might easily have been yours or mine, staring down the maw of something we don't understand.”
Keith Phipps, The A.V. Club · 91
“We’ve never sat through anything with Cloverfield’s subjective sting. You’d have to be tougher than I was not to be blown sideways by it.”
David Edelstein, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 90
“Cloverfield never stops to identify the why, whence, or whereto of its rampaging meanie—this relentless thriller stops for nothing—but as for what to call it, behold . . . al-Qaedzilla!”
Nathan Lee, Village Voice · 90
“Cloverfield is the most intense and original creature feature I've seen in my adult moviegoing life, and that's coming from a guy who knows his Gojira from his Gamera and his Harryhausen from his Honda. Cloverfield isn't a horror film – it's a pure-blood, grade A, exultantly exhilarating monster movie.”
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle · 89

“48/100 A group of friends try to survive when Manhattan is suddenly and inexplicably attacked by a massively huge monster of unknown origin. This movie should be an incredibly exciting thrill ride. However, unlike the films "[REC]", "V/H/S/2", and "As Above, So Below", which really knew how to use the hand-held camera most effectively, the camera in this film was just all over the place all the time. Rather than thrilled, I was frustrated the camera was never pointing at what I wanted to look”
