I was a little dizzy at times but I enjoyed it a lot, I really got sucked in. Sure, some of the people were stupid for following Rob around, but then there wouldn't be any movie, and with 2 millions people on the island, yes I do think realistically there would be people that dumb. It was a very good ride, entertaining and enough bits were realistic enough where you were constantly questioning what you would do in that situation. On top of that, I used to live a block from the Time Warner Center, and it looked exactly what I imagine it would look like. Also, the place where they took the helicopters south of grand central was two blocks from me, so my place would have been wrecked. I recognized a lot of other areas as well, which really added to the realism for me. I don't know if it was difficult for non-NYers to follow, but this was the most accurate use of NY geography in a movie I have ever seen. It was a nice twist on the generic monster genre, and I'd say that it was closer to something like Pitch Black instead of Godzilla. The comparisons to blair witch is really only in the 1st person camera work. To believe that the movies are the same based on this one similar feature is like believing Yao Ming can only be as good as Shawn Bradley.
from what i've been told she's the same girl that's in some backstory videos from before the movie came out. not sure though.
in short, that passed out girl's boyfriend was part of the group against the japanese company that awoke or was taking nectar from the monster to make slusho soft drinks. He went overseas to get an undercover job at the rig where they Slusho gets the nectar but they had discovered that he was a spy. He left one last note to her to not contact him otherwise they would get to her. She thought he was cheating on her so she went to the party to sleep with someone. I thought that was pretty obvious from that scene.
I thought this was interesting, a connection between the opening screen and Lost. Notice the Dharma logo. It won't let me post the image so just click the link. http://bp1.blogger.com/_YPCf8JFgUdI/R5gb3GV_kaI/AAAAAAAACj0/IYMt2uyDHxo/s1600-h/cloverfieldlost.jpg
If true this may be the stupidest ****ing setup for a movie in the history of mankind. This idea makes the Voltron one like like Citizen ****ing Kane.
Saw it to today and I think I loved it. I mean, it's hard to say. I really enjoyed it, that's for sure. Then again I went into it knowing that it's not really a "monster movie" and was going for the experience. Kind of reminded me of the King Kong ride they used to have at the Universal theme park. I have a ton of questions, but so would Hud who was filming it. Hopefully there will be a sequal or two that will fill in some of big questions surrounding what happend before, during and after this experience.
Dude, your life must have felt so incomplete before this movie came out, since it seems to be your own personal crusade now to try to tear it down at every opportunity. Seriously, though, give it a rest. You didn't get it. You didn't like it. We understand. Now try some decaf.
He has to fill the void left from arguing against HPD trying to get drunk drivers off the road at Christmas time.
Watched it over the weekend. I knew there was alot of buzz about the movie, but only after following some of the links in this thread did I see how much work was put into the backstory and advertising. Pretty impressive. We didn't stick around for the end credits. Anyway, we enjoyed it. The shaky camera thing didn't bother me at all. I stopped noticing it after a little while. The audience was really really quiet when it was over. Reminded me the Blair Witch Project in that sense. Everyone just files out of the theater without talking.
Why do you continue to come back to this thread. We get it, you didn't like the movie. Move the **** on.
Hmm. A movie about a bunch of twenty-something yuppies texting each other about a monster doesn't song very interesting to me.
Saw if Friday night. Yes, some of it was very unrealistic, but hello? It's a monster movie. The whole thing is unrealistic. I liked it, it was a very entertaining hour and a half. That's what movies are supposed to do, right? Entertain us for a couple of hours? I can't believe some of the people here who want EVERY SINGLE QUESTION ANSWERED. Take a laxative, for ****s sake.
