That mysterious J.J. Abrams trailer that premiered before Transformers this summer now has an official title: (Cloverfield), a full-length trailer, and an official plot synopsis:

Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives.

Big-budget thrills with a single camera? Shaky shots of people running and screaming? If it's anything like The Blair Witch Project, bring your Dramamine. If it's anything like Godzilla (1998), say (to quote Whitney Houston) "hell to the no!" In any case, watch the trailer and judge for yourself. (Opening Jan. 18) -- Ellen
