So I heard there was a movie called "Cloverfield".

[Cortexian]

If you went and saw it, post your reactions here.

At the ending, me and my buddy looked at each other and shook our heads. To quote a guy in the back of the theater, "WHAT THE FUCK"! Seriously, who ends a movie like that.

Other then that, the movie was decent, I wouldn't say it was good though.

[PlasbianX]

And I heard theres already a thread on this.

Storyline (from wiki)
It opens up with a digital message saying that this is a Top Secret tape no to be recopied. The film begins on May 22; Jason Hawkins (Mike Vogel) and his girlfriend, Lily (Jessica Lucas), plan a surprise going away party for Jason's brother, Rob (Michael Stahl-David), who has accepted a business position in Japan. Jason entrusts Rob’s best friend, Hud (T. J. Miller), with the video camera, so he can tape the party and document Rob’s last night in America. The party at Rob’s Manhattan apartment begins and all is well, though Hud has no luck flirting with his crush, Marlena (Lizzy Caplan), from behind the camera.

Rob arrives and is happy to see all his friends. Things get complicated quickly, though, as it is revealed that Rob recently slept with Beth (Odette Yustman), making their longtime friendship more complicated just before he leaves the country. Beth arrives at the party - but with a date. When Rob confronts her about the date, she claims they have not spoken in weeks (presumably since right around their sexual encounter). Beth leaves with her date, and Rob hints to his brother that he cares for Beth, although he never told her this.

The building then suddenly shakes, a large animal-like growl is heard and the power temporarily fails. Startled party goers then watch a news report saying that an oil tanker near the Statue of Liberty has capsized. Dozens of people head to the roof to get a look, only to witness a huge explosion in the distance, falling debris from which quickly forces them to retreat to the ground floor. Upon reaching the street, the Statue of Liberty's head suddenly crashes down before them, and everyone witnesses more explosions and a gigantic creature moving in the distance. Rob, Jason, Lily, Marlena and Hud all head for the Brooklyn Bridge. While on the bridge, Rob gets a call from Beth, who is now injured and trapped in her Midtown apartment after an explosion. Just then, the creature's tail comes out of the water and destroys the bridge, killing Jason among many others. Rob and his friends flee back to Manhattan.

Rob says that he is heading to Midtown to save Beth. After unsuccessfully pleading with him not to do so, his friends follow. Meanwhile, everyone starts to learn more about what exactly is attacking the city. Marlena says that she saw something huge “eating people” while a TV newscast shows the giant creature dropping large spider-like parasites, the size of a dog, onto the ground, which immediately attack nearby humans. They take a look at what Hud recorded from the film leaving a gap in the film showing Rob playfully chatting with Beth which was originally on the tape they were recording over. This happens a few more times during the film.

The four’s journey into Midtown brings them to a battle between the monster and US Military forces. Rob and his friends descend into the subway for safety and decide to walk the tracks to Beth’s building. In the darkened tunnel, they are ambushed by several of the parasites and Marlena is badly bitten. They escape and, fortunately, rendezvous with US Army officers. When they discover that Marlena has been bitten they quickly rush her behind a bio hazard tent. She then swells and gruesomely explodes from her parasite bites leaving Hud deeply disturbed. An officer then rushes them to the exit and informs them of an evacuation helicopter site, revealing that the situation in the city is so out of control that it will not be long before the government authorizes a plan to destroy all of Manhattan in an attempt to kill the creature.

The remaining three arrive at Beth's building in Manhattan; it is partially toppled and leaning on another building nearby. They climb to her apartment by crossing over the roof of the building it's leaning on. They discover Beth, who has fallen and impaled her shoulder. After freeing her and fending off another parasite by hacking it with an axe, they escape the buildings and board USMC UH-1 Iroquois evacuation helicopters just as the giant creature attacks nearby. Lily is separated during the evacuation, with her escaping in a different helicopter. Flying above Manhattan as day breaks, Rob, Beth and Hud witness a USAF B-2 Spirit attacking, and seemingly killing, the giant creature; however, it leaps out of the smoke plumes and swipes at the helicopter, causing it to crash in Central Park. Hud, Rob and Beth survive the crash, only to look up and see the creature towering over them. After the creature kills Hud, Rob grabs Beth and the camera and hides underneath a bridge. He gives a final testimonial to the camera while in the background, air-raid sirens begin to go off and tells Beth that he loves her. She tells Rob she loves him too, immediately before multiple massive explosions leave the camera covered in rubble, presumably killing them both.

The movie then cuts to the original footage from the tape that this film was recorded over, and it displays a scene with Rob and Beth enjoying their Coney Island date a month before, happy and carefree. Rob asks Beth to comment on her experience. Beth ends the film by saying, "I had a good day." At this point something splashes into the water in the distance, completely unnoticed by Rob and Beth.

After the ending credits have completely run through, garbled radio static can be heard with the phrase "It's still alive" played in reverse.

Ok, I guess im blind. This thread (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4429) totally doesnt exist.

No, just illiterate. That one is about peoples' assumptions from before the release, this one is about reactions to the move.

But its on the SAME FUCKING MOVIE. Why the fuck do we need 2 threads on the same thing? And the dumb one here is you because the end few pages of the thread talks about peoples reaction AFTER SEEING IT.

Get your fucking head outta your ass.

[Saggy]

I'm just gonna say what I said in the other thread.

Did anyone see the DHARMA logo at the beginning or what I believe is the monstor falling into the water at the end when Rob and Beth are at Coney Island?

[legionaire45]

Yes, that was the monster falling into the ocean at the end.

[PlasbianX]

Im not gay you fucktard. That topic turned in to the same thread as this one.

EDIT: Just cause i post with cusswords doesnt mean im PMSing:saddowns:

[dg]

Best experience I've ever had watching a movie in a theater. I was intrigued the entire way through.

An experience, not just a movie.

[n00b1n8R]

Just cause i post with cusswords doesnt mean im PMSing:saddowns:
more like overuse of cusswords and insults for no good reason.

[et_cg]

I liked the movie.

I mean they chose how they wanted to make it, and in all honesty, did do a good job making it the way they wanted it.

Epic.

[Limited]

This film looks rubbish, maybe a be harse but from what I've seen (trailers) and heard (people) it doesnt even sound watchable.

I doubt I'm giving much away, but the whole movie is basically a guy video taping, from the trailers its the dude shaking the camera a ton, that shaking is throughout the whole 1hour and a half film, to me I hate having to try to concentrate on actually seeing the film, trying to keep my eye on it when its moving all around.

DVD-able, not would going to cinema though.

[ICEE]

I believe this may be a little bit late, but this is a concept on what the monster looks like.

looks like sin from final fantasy 10

[dg]

That is not the monster in the film. That is fan drawing made a long time ago.

[ICEE]

oh? ok well then ill change the description

[JDMFSeanP]

And I believe that is a concept drawing, not fan art.

[dg]

No, I meant that (http://dougblot.blogspot.com/2007/09/teensy-bit-more.html) was (http://dougblot.blogspot.com/2007/09/slusho-rar.html)fan (http://dougblot.blogspot.com/2007/09/wee-bit-more.html)artwork (http://dougblot.blogspot.com/2007/09/1-18-08.html).

[Dr Nick]

I knew the ending as soon as I saw the beginning, there's a giant spoiler in it.

I give it a 6/10, it could have been better.

[FireDragon04]

I loved Cloverfield, i've seen it like 3 times now, watched it very closely. The 'Monster' looks fucking weird when u see it up close near the end.

Defiantly a mix between:

These 2 concept art images

Sick movie, and i could feel the 'J.J' style all over it, been a fan of Lost...and J.J it was awesome, well and that it was based in New York (My favorite place in the world lol) and it had alien/monsters in it. The parasite things btw scared the shit out'a me in the tunnel

Anyway, good stuff.
I was going to find some screencaps, but maybe not, this film isn't worth spoiling yourself for, before seeing it.

im so fucking sick of movies that take place in NY.

Same here. I especially hate Christmas movies that take place in NYC.

[Xegrot]

I saw it. I loved it. I wanna see it a second time. :D

[Kornman00]

Just saw it, and the ending kinda ruined it for me. I mean, yes its a "new" concept, but its just rehashing godzilla imo (yes, I know JJ wanted an 'American' godzilla, but come-on, the last one was in NY too :|).
