Cloverfield

If its any consolation after the credits,


You hear a whispering, and at first people though it said "help us", but someone managed to record it through one of those hearing things some thearters have, and reversed it and you hear this: http://boomp3.com/m/bd034dfca370

Nobody stayed except my wife and me. We heard it, but couldn't make heads or tails of it. Reversed? Weak. Anyway, do you think it infers a sequel?
 
The Day After Tomorrow! D:

Did anyone catch something fall into the ocean in the final Coney Island scene? My guess is that the monster is, indeed, an alien.
 
I swear if they do a sequel, it'll be a Power Rangers movie. Who else will be able to save New York if it's not the Power Rangers an their Megazords?
 
I didn't. Which scene?

edit - So what was the creepiest part for everyone who's seen it? For me:
When Marlana(?) comes out of the building after the first pass of the critter while everyone's still shaken up and are confirming with each other that it is in fact a creature of some sort and quietly says that it was eating people. The way she said it and the fact that I didn't see that coming was well done). At first I was thinking to myself, "Sure, I'd just get the F out of there", but if it's coming after people running about...
 
the whisper says "it's still alive"
just watched it...twas awesome.

About the whole attacking the helicopter from the smoke... We don't know how this thing sees. If the little ones could track the group in a pitch black tunnel, I don't see how attacking the helicopter from the smoke was so unrealistic.

Loved the movie btw.

it has eyes i think....i saw them just below the red things
 
Best movie I've seen in a while. My biggest complaint is that it wasn't long enough. That's the kind of movie that could be 5 hours long and I'd gladly sit through it.
 
easily one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. The film was perfectly directed, the characters in the film had a real feel to them, that they could be real people. The monster was superb, scared the crap out of me at times. This movie was a very much more of an experience than a film. Don't watch if you have problems with motion sickness.

Just the way the film was physically filmed from a handycam made everything seem much real, it felt like you were actually a witness to their lives throughout the movie, as if you were there.

10/10 for me. There's no other way of watching, you HAVE to watch in theaters. The sound gets to you, it makes it come to life, in the beginning of the movie with the party scene, it made you feel like you were at the party yourself. GO WATCH IN THEATERS!

Eh, if anything they'll probably continue it through the ARG thats been going on with the Tagruato and Slusho sites.

It'd be hard to make a sequel to this. I mean remember the last movie of this type that got a sequel?

Blair Witch 2: THE BOOK OF SHADOWZ

It not possible because for a camcorder tape minidv the longest that it can be is 90 min LP (long play)mode and the movie was only 84 minutes so there is 6 min missing.:eek:
alot can happen in 6 minutes
 
So did anyone catch the

Object falling into the ocean at the last Coney Island scene? People are saying its a japanese satelite from the ARG
 
I'd give it 8/10, it was a good flick. Not a fan of handy cam footage but it did the job well.
 
It was alright.

The movie wasn't too terrible, but it was a monument to bad acting and forced lines. I would have preferred it to have still been shaky cam, but filmed from an invisible 3rd person, similar to 28 days later, to avoid all of those terrible forced lines on the part of the camera man.
 
Bad acting? Really? I found all the performances to be incredibly believable. I mean maybe its just because Hud reminded me of a friend of mine a little too well. I kept thinking "Jeez this is exactly how he would act in this situation. What a jackass"
 
Yes, really. It might not have been the acting so much as the writing. It seems to me that Hud probably did all of his voice acting off of the set (obviously) and there was ALOT of forced acting on his part. The acting during the party was incredibly bad. I mean, almost unbelievably bad. It was like I was watching middle school kids doing improv.
 
I think thats going a bit overboard. I mean what were you expecting oscar nominated performances?

Im not saying they were the greatest actors in the world, but the acting was nowhere near as bad as your making it out to be :|

You're being way too hard on it. This isn't supposed to be some great drama that requires stellar acting to make it a great movie. The acting required was the amount to keep you immersed in the movie, and the actors provided that. At no point in the movie did I ever think, "man, I really want to be enjoying this movie the acting was so terrible." The acting and writing was good enough to keep me connected to the characters enough to actually care about them as well as make me feel like I was actually there.

Have you ever seen any home movies? The person with the camera always says dumb things and forced jokes. And they always feel like they have to keep talking to explain whats going on to people watching.

Ex-****ing-actly. Bad acting at the party? Seemed perfectly natural to me, it's how your average joe acts in front of a camcorder. It never seems natural.
 
My only complaint was that I often wanted to yell, "POINT THE CAMERA AT THE MONSTER!!". There was even a part were the other characters had to tell him. As I expected, the movie dosn't tell anything about were the monster came from, they'll probably leave that up to the viral sites, (most likly this http://movies.ign.com/articles/845/845968p1.html) Also, could someone post a picture of the lost monster, I cant find one.
 
Which reminds me

Holy shit Hud getting his shit ruined by the monster. Im assuming he just froze and kept doing what he was doing the whole movie: Filming D: I dont care what anyone says I liked him.
 
this movie was ****ing tight I was really into it. Felt like iwas actually there. I am impressed that they managed to pull the shaky concept and not end upnlike Blair witch shit. I was so into it like mentioned earlier some parts in wanted to talk to hud and be like bro stop moving so much and focus the camera on the monster like the part at beths apart building when the monster is being bombed he like points the camera to it like twice and very brief. My big guess is that the video is played after the military killed the monster or the monster retreated because they'd had to only recover the tape during a clean up and I highly doubt there would be clean up teams during battle or crisis but only after. What do you guys think happened to lily? I think we survived and has one helluva bar story to tell for free drinks :p. I felt the monster should have been explain more. But keep in mind the flow of the movie is that we can't get in depth info because the attack was so abrupt and not even the highers ups knew WTF was going on. So definately another one to go in depth about the monster IMO

yeah its been known about for a while, think even posted it a few pages back.

Before whatever that warning message says, it linked to thier main site where you learn that Tagruato for the most part is a Deep sea drilling corp. There were videos released a week or two before the movie of thier Chuai Station (The one closest to new york) mysteriously collapsing and what have you.

Theres also

http://www.tidowave.com/

they were an environmentalist group that was campaigning against tagruato.
 
I love everyone here. People in the theatres/my friends are idiots.

Some people just seem to expect too much, and they don't look at something logically. All you need to do is ask yourself a simple question to figure out whether or not you're a retard or not. If you have a reasonable answer for the question, then you have a case. Otherwise, accept the movie for what it was.

The question is: How would YOU have made the ending better?

People in my theatre were all like "is that it?" "wow that sucked" :|
 
I'm guessing Lilly was the only one that lived.
 
Apparently everyone in my theater hated it, I was pretty pissed because I thought it was a great movie. It's aggravating how everyone expects that everything is going to be great and optimistic at the end. I don't see another way they could have ended it.
 
Amazing movie. Never once was I sucked out of it. Now that's the mark of a good movie. Not a film by any means, but a damn fine movie experience. Also, probably the best giant monster movie I've ever seen. Not only was the giant monster genuinely menacing, those smaller creatures were utterly terrifying. And for PG-13, it was brutal as shit.

Definitely shows why movie theaters were made and why sound is so important to a movie.
 
I just saw it today. I thought it was great, it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. When they were putting on the night vision in the tunnels I was like D:.

There was a resounding shout of "I want my money back!" at the end of my movie, followed by applause. And a hearty number of "what a waste of time!" They had us fill out a survey, and while people were handing them back they were saying "that movie made me seasick. What the hell did I just watch?"
 
On another note, just how the **** did lilly survive?

She had
1. A steel rebar poking directly through her chest very near her heart.
2. A scratch from one of the bugs
3. A helicopter crash
4. The first explosion
5. The second explosion

Typical of Bad Robot. First we have the invincible Russian man from Lost and now this.
 
Russian dude is dead.

Also Your thinking beth. Lilly made it out on that first helicopter.

Another thing, Motion sickness from shaky-cam doesn't have any impact on whether or not the movie was good or not :|

Edit: Beaten D:
 
Holy shit this movie was so great. It was so real, I'd say best monster movie i've ever seen!! Also, for the people who are asking how/why did the monster knock down the helicopter at the end. Well he did it for the lulz also lol@Hud.

You mean Beth? Lilly was the one that left in the first Helicopter.

Right beth.

But lilly was clearly killed. Just as the helicopter with the cameraman takes off, you can see a shattered huey crash into the side of the building. That was her helicopter.
