To be fair, Paul Greengrass (the director of Green Zone) kind of owns this style. Obviously it still might make some people feel sick or whatever, but in terms of considering it an overused gimmick, I don't think that applies to Greengrass. To me, his years as a journalist, technical excellence, choice of subject matter, and consistent use of the documentary style earn him the ability to use this whenever he wants.

Oh, if it is more of "his own", then I'd take the accusion of mine back. However, I'd still hope he would zoom back, at least a little.

My problem could have been the cinema I went to, though. Weird one, tbh. The sound of the movie was blaring-loud, too. I swear, at that moment, I thought no wonder there's so much piracy going on ;P.
(bad joke is bad).


I still hope that the classical cinematography will come back, though. Too much wobble can hurt box office ^^.

Cloverfield was a good movie, but they definitely overused the shaky camera in that movie. I heard there's supposed to be a second movie, I really hope they don't duplicate that aspect of the first one.
