Yep. From the director of LOST comes some new monster movie but with a twist:
IT'S NOT GODZILLA!!!
Anyways, I've some pretty decent reviews and have been wanting to see it for some time now. It releases tomorrow here in America.
So, who's going to go see it/not going to and why?
-
I want to see it soon, just because I know it will be spoiled, but I dont wanna pay money for a movie I know nada about.
-
it has reviews?
How come i havent come across the monster's design
-
yeah i havent seen the monster
-

Bastard. I work today, so i wont have a chance.
-
Cause THERE IS NO MONSTER! HA! Spoiled it for you all!! .... actually I dunno I haven't seen it but I wanna know :(
-
I've heard they might not even show the monster in the movie at all.
I think it sgonna suck if they dont.
I WANT TO FEEL LIKE HOW I DID WITH GODZILLA
-
Um godzilla wasn't even scary... Godzuki on the other hand.. *shivers* it screamed carebears in the cartoon <<.. I think in the commercials they showed a part of it.. like a gray foot.. or cloud of smoke...
Is she eating a ds? I swear I end up looking at that pic like 2-3 times.. x.x
-
Well I dont mean scared, i mean like EPIC MONSTER AGAINST MAN feeling. i have always love that feeling. I think that why i liked transformers. you know besides the nostalgia
And yeah it's Hikki munching on her DS :D Of course she's faking it. Something about a game magazine asking her questions about what games she played.
-
Oh wow lmao. She just looked to hungry to me XD
I think I'm more of a kong fan tho << That would be nice to see.. Kong vs. Godzilla :D

That soooo is not hungry. XD
Anyways, I'm not so interested in the movie. It just seems like another crappy 'THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR ON -EVERY- PLANET' movie. Like... Blare (however you spell that >>) Witch Project combine with Resident Evil.
-
I hated blair witch project. Crappy movie. I swear the only high light might've been the be boogie scene.
-
I'm going to go see it tomorrow with a group of friends :D
I've browsed around some of the tie-in websites. It's weird :P
-
Goddamnit, I thought for sure my friends and I were gonna go see it. But the girl we were trying to induct into the group wanted to see Sweeny Todd.
Biggest excuse of bullshit I have ever seen. Yeah, it was an EXCUSE of bullshit. That movie WISHES it could be bullshit. There were 4 ****ing songs in the whole thing, just with diff words. Why is it getting such good reviews? It was ****.
-
Don't trust girls. They want to see any piece of crap as long as it came out of johnny depp's rectum.
Also, I was seriously anticipating the movie Fanboys which was supposed to come out the same time as Cloverfield. I don't think they're gonna release it anywhere near here though so I'll have to wait for the DVD release.

Well, it's official. Cloverfield was probably the best movie I have ever seen. EVER. I mean, we even went and saw I Am Legend after Cloverfield, but it didn't evven stack up there with Cloverfield.
Although, after watching both, I realized writers must really hate Manhattan considering they were both disaster movies >_>
-
Saw it last night, and I gotta say, I loved it. It has a monster, but I don't know how well it could be compared to Godzilla. In fact, the scariest things in the movie weren't even the thing that's running around stepping on tanks. The whole thing is shown as a partially-interrupted video on an SD card by some amateur cameramen, so expect a bit of shaking (motion sickness may set in for those of you who can't handle a sideways camera). It was pretty epic, the special effects were great, but not over-the-top, there was a huge air of mystery, and because it was all shown in the form of an amateur video, a lot of questions are left unanswered, but it's all cool. If you keep your eyes peeled, you'll spot a few hints about what's actually going on, and it's apparent that there will be a sequel (which I'm now awaiting with incredible vigor), and unlike some movies this year, I actually care about the characters, their situation, their problems, and whether they live or die. All in all, go and watch it. If anyone tells you it sucks, then they went and saw the wrong damn movie.
-
Was pretty epic all in all.
Was I the only one who missed the very subtle hint in the very last scene? O_o
-
No; I saw it. And I have come up with a few theories of everything due to the Viral Marketing (2 of which are closed: tagruato.jp and tidowave.com)
<>
Rob gets offered the position of VP for Slusho!'s advertising department to get the product plugged in America. Slusho! is a Sub-Product of Tagruato, a deep-sea drilling company with many locations around the world - including one that opened in Septemeber off of the East Coast of America (a.k.a. "Chuai Station").
A group of people form a P.E.T.A.-type operation called T.I.D.O.Wave to counter the actions of Tagruato. Their most notable actions include sabotaging the Chuai Station and an attempted kidnapping of Tagruato CEO Ganu Yoshida (who was on his way to New York at the time and managed to survive the attack).
Because of the attack on the Chuai Station, some creature awoke under the surface and made its way over to New York, causing the capsized oil tanker. This creature was the one seen during the movie.
This answers a few questions, except for the last scene of Coney Island; what was the thing falling from the sky? Honestly, I have no idea. We can dismiss the idea of it being the monster with a few things:
The Coney Island video segments were shot in April of 2008; the Chuai Station opened in September 2007.
Of course, this all theory.

Anybody else have any ideas?

Theres the Cloverfield movie.
It sucked. Watch the trailer and you've basically seen the movie.
The characters sucked too. You guys are crazy. How can you care for the characters? They have nothing to them besides Robs love for his girlfriend. Oh, and the ****ing camera guy screaming robs name every 5 seconds like he was jesus or some ****.
Speaking of rob, he's an ***. He got everyone killed.
It was WAY to shaky. I get its some piece of **** handicam or whatever, but you didnt know what the **** was going on for 90% of the film. There was nothing to the film that you couldnt get from the trailers besides the monster. WHICH YOU DIDNT EVEN GET TO REALLY SEE. All I know is that he had some weird merman face and a HUEG pair of monkey arms.
**** sukd
-
@Mid: I remember reading that in an interview. I thought it was pretty funny XD
@Rev: No, no. I understood what was going on the entire time. The movie was kinda' straight forward o_o
-
I have a date to go see this movie. I skipped over all of the spoilers here. It does sound good.
-
Thank you Rev. I shall save 10 dollars.
-
Give me your ten dollars so that I may watch the film yet again, because Rev is dead wrong (get it? Like the cast? HaHA!).

XD
In all honesty, I really did find that quite funny o_o
-
lol.... so you expected it to break into a high def panoramic shot then?
It was excellent in its simplicity. I saw the monster fine...The characters were douchebag newyorkers, and they all die. Were you expecting the cast of fightclub or something?
lol.
i dont understand how you could not know whats going on.
-
I didnt expect some flashy ****, but I expected the camera NOT to be whipped around like a shoe lace for 80% of the entire movie.
How could you get what was going on? Everything was so RIDICULOUSLY shaky that I could barely tell what direction they were going in. Of course I knew what they were doing, GO THRU TUNEL GET GURLFREN GO 2 BRIGE. OH N DONT FORGOT TO SHAKE THE CAMERA LIKE YOU HAVE ****ing PARKINSON'S.
The cast WAS a bunch of new york douche bags. EXACTLY.
Fact of the matter is, it was way too simple. They basically spent the entire movie doing the **** I already knew they were gunna do, just from watching the trailer.
It was a cheap one time thrill ride. Not a movie. Except on this ride you either love it or you hate it. And even if you love it, theres nothing more to it after you've seen it once.
A sequel would suck. Unless its a fake documentary on the monster/disaster, then that'd be badass, but as it stands right now, the movie was garbage.
"lol"
-
For a while, I thought a sequel would be great. But after thinking about it, wouldn't it really be the same movie..?
Side note: HASBRO, FTW!
-
With the camera thing, it sounds like Rev is talking about the Bourne Supremacy. That kind of shaky where they think it adds character to the filming but just makes it hard to focus?
-
sequel potential : See blair witch
-
I'd like a sequel to have more info on what's going on, and perhaps a more traditional camera style. Sure, the live video recording thing is nice, but any good film maker knows that you can't do a series like that.
-
I think he's gonna continue with the "recording" style which is whack.

MY FRIEND MADE THAT EXACT SAME COMPARISON.
Scary.

Just imagine bootleg copies of the film. You know, the ones where somehow the guys sneak a camera into the theatre and film it, shaky a bit?
-
I've seen said bootlegs. It was SO bad.
