[Film] Cloverfield

[karohemd]

Was good. It's a monster ravages Manhattan romp filmed from the perspective of a group of people who end up right in the middle of it and their struggle to get out and/or survive.
The shaky cam was bearable but I guess people who suffer from motion sickness easily should be advised against watching this film. There's a lot of mayhem but little blood/gore.



Considering nothing was resolved and we don't know how it actually ended (monsters dead in the "hammer down" or not) might mean we'll see a sequel but I'm not sure if I want to.

I thought the head of the Statue of Liberty was far too small but I checked the stats and it's 5.3m from chin to cranium, so that about fits.

I stayed til the end of the trailers and then completely missed the sound bite at the end. What did it say?

At the end it sounds like "Help us" but it is played backwards and actually says "It's still alive"

Do you remember when they were on the bridge near the start? Just before the brother dies, you see another man recording everything on a camera? Hints dropped that the sequel will be concurrent...

Also, at the end, on the ferris wheel... did you see anything?

I heard the director mention in a few interviews that the monster was actually just a distressed baby. So maybe we'll see the mother in the sequel. :-D

Ah, thanks!

No? Your powers of observation are probably better than mine or I was getting tired. ;o)

Something falls into the sea in the top right of the screen...

I find it surprising so many people missed that. I pointed it out to the two friends I went with, and neither spotted it, and neither did a few people walking out near us.

I've heard the same thing about a sequal. Not sure that it would anything though.
