    Anyone here who saw it in the cinema get sick as a result of the very shaky camerawork?

    No but I know of people who have got sick watching films with similar camera work (blair witch project). So it's not unusual

    I felt a little uneasy during the scene in the hotel corridor with the strobe light, aside from that nope

    I had no problem with it in tje cinema, of anything it's one of the few films to utilize shaky cam that looked good on the big screen. I've watched it a few times since on Blu-Ray and it looks fantastic though I've been told by two people that they had to turn it off as they felt dizzy watching it. I'm pretty sure that was down to the fact that they were drunk off their asses when watching it.

    No, how ever the handy cam, bumpy, reality style camerawork in Miami vice left me sickened... to the core... forever

    I felt ill recently while watching Tower Heist. O_o
    The bit where the car is dangling over the edge of the building, and swinging back and forth and its a straight shot down to the ground. Ugh...

    But shaky cam doesnt bother me.

    Both of these made me queasy :o

    I didn't know Cloverfield was 'shaky cam' before I went in or I'd have given it a miss... I had to kinda watch while occasionally not looking directly at the screen, if ya get me! :o

    I went to see it in the cinema and there was a few people who had to leave because they felt very ill. Same happened with the Bourne Ultimatum.

    I felt sick during most of Titanic. Dont think it was sea-sickness either.
