[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?

Haha, photographers think alike, it seems. Not to mention an SD card that can hold almost 90 minutes of widescreen footage. The characters kept talking about tape, though.

There weren't that many people in the cinema (early evening showing) and nobody was sitting directly behind me so it was reasonably quiet. Nobody seems to have puked, either.

We did sweeney todd and cloverfield in the same night. I'm glad we left cloverfield to last as Martin fell asleep during Sweeney Todd and it was quite as well paced as I'd hoped it would be. Cool film though.

I did a youtube for cloverfield. There's no way you'll see the splash on a youtube quality vid, but there definitely was something that fell in the water in that final clip as I remember wondering if it was intentional or not. The sound clip thing is just cool if it is actually true.

ooh, actually.... continuity??

The start says it's a reclaimed memory card found at the scene did it not? But you are correct that they keep referring to the tape......

Yep.
