Cloverfield

[Acid_crash]

I liked it, it was a fun movie that lived up to its promise of putting normal people into a dangerous situation and seeing what the heck happens as they deal with it.

I think it would have been better if there was NO love story elements at all but I still liked it.

And the monster was scary looking, and seemed kind of familiar but I am unable to figure out what that familiarity is.

Was it this:

Okay, my wild ass therory, there is a least three monsters. You have the big bad, the parasite, ones and then the one at the end (

Spoiler

the one that got Hud

), it seemed smaller and had a "different look".

I like the movie, it drew me in but hated the Blair Witch camera.

THX!

1) Did you feel the ending of the movie was fulfiiling?
It was a ending, it left me wanting more.

2) Was there any sort of "resolution" at the end of the movie?
From the characters point of view, it was closure but to the viewer, no.

3) About how far into the movie does the action start?
15 mins I guess, mostly setting the stage for you to know the characters.

4) About how har into the movie until you fully see "the monster"?
A good bit, guess in detail and completely 2/3 of the way in.

Saw it tonight. Thought it was fantastic. While I appreciate the opinion of those who do not like it, let me just say you SHOULD believe the hype, and you will feel left out if you don't see this one.

It's a faint cry for help.

I wonder what it is supposed to mean as

Spoiler

all the characters and most everyone in New York is not only mearly dead but really quite sincerly dead

or is it just meaningless.

Hmm, I have this same problem. {Blair witch was excruciatingly painful for me at the theater, even though I actually liked the movie}.

I was thinking about eating a few aspirin and sitting far back from the movie screen, but I'm worried that still might not be enough.

Dramamine, a motion sickness med, does not list headache as one of the symtoms it works on. :\ Anyone got first hand knowledge if it does help with Shackycam Skullsplitters?

Blair Witch made me feel a bit ill, and I sat relatively close to the screen, and dead center.

Cloverfield did not make me feel the slightest bit queasy, and we sat near the back of the theater and to one side. So, I would suggest trying that.

There is... something at the end of the credits, a short bit of staticy voice-over but the sound of people talking in the theater was too loud for me to make it out.

Here you go.

I just got back and I really liked it. It was really tense and I found they hit the mark with the "you are there" feel. The acting was solid IMO, and the characters seemed natural. The ending was fairly touching and appropriate.

Also,

[sblock]I think there might have been two big monsters. The first few times they showed it, it seemed more "tentacly" and the one that ate half of Hud seemed smaller and was different looking, I think.[/sblock]

For those who haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend looking at the background when the footage cuts to the "old" footage at the end. Specifically top right. My wife and I missed it, but our friend said he saw something. I hope this wasn't too much of a spoiler, but I thought I'd let people know.

 

[Darth Shoju]

Here you go.

Awesome.

Thanks!
