Did you get sick watching "Cloverfield?"

Did you get a chance to see the hit movie Cloverfield on opening weekend? The home camera look really made the film stand out from other monster flicks. But if you're like some people with uneasy stomachs, then motion sickness might have followed the jerky camera movements.

In fact, a manager at WebMD admits to having left the movie theater to escape the nausea. Personally, I had to look away several times or down at my feet. The reason people like us felt so icky was because our brain and eyes were transmitting mixed up messages.

The erratic camerawork tricked our eyes into sending messages that we were moving around. But the inner ear told our brain otherwise, since sitting in a theater chair is obviously stationary. This is also what happens in cars or planes. There are lots of medications one can take to prevent motion sickness (but most result in drowsiness, like Benadryl). I'm just glad to know I'm not the only person who felt the side-effects of Cloverfield!
