[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?

Statue of liberty is indeed correct. The base makes it look bigger than it is :)

The noise at the end ...if you reverse it says "its alive" or "help us" depending on who you believe.

It's been reported as "It's still alive"

Did you see the satellite fall into the sea?

I too saw things fall into the sea, not sure what, but something. The sequel potential is huge, but I'm not sure I'd want to see it. It was a good idea to use once. I didn't stay all the way to the end as this is what youtube is now for.

If we are to believe though it was all filmed on camcorder.... damn, I want to know what brand. The sound quality was amazing on that! :) And who made the SD card? If it survives monster attacks, fire, explosions and all that moisture too then I gots to have one of them.


I do heartily recommend watching the film with a row of nervous teenage girls behind you. I laughed rather hard at the "why dont you try switching on the nightvision?" moment.
