"There is nothing. I am just right now from my third visit to theather. Just big yaht. Also some tall objects on the beach. Look the movie from theather. Not from crapy copy. There is nothing falling in water."

"ur right..there was nothing..somebody said there was..but there really isnt anything.."

he says there was something in the last question

just annoying its not something you could piece together and figure out..have to just wait with our thumbs up our butts, having to listen to a bunch of pretentious asshats bitch to eachother about what they think they know it is...miah

I saw this film on saturday. It was mildly entertaining, but certainly not "good" or a classic of any sort.
 
The most annoying thing about it was the actors! I knew from the trailer it was going to be another big studio picture featuring "beautiful young people in trouble" but it still annoys the hell out of me. They would never dream of casting actors who look like normal people, and (god forbid) might have some acting ability. Forget about casting anyone who\'s over 23 years old. Well at least they can save some money when they hire these no-name dipshits.
 
I\'m glad there was no explanation for where the monster came from. Think about this, THX: If they DID provide an explanation, could it possible be anything you\'d want to hear? Or would it be simply be some incredibly idiotic bullshit that makes no sense? I\'m glad they put LESS idiotic bullshit in this film, and just left the explanations out. Perhaps this was supposed to give you something to think about after the film is over, but not for me. I\'m already well on my way to forgetting this movie ever existed.

I\'m also upset about the shallow characters (they do not exist), lack of development, shakey camera and stupid rescue me cliche.....but the four legged sea monster eating up a whole city was technically accurate. No complaints there.

/sarcasm

Rented this tonight. Thought it was going to be complete shit but i\'m suprised how much I liked it.

I like mysteries and the unexplained aspects of the film. Now that i\'ve seen the movie i\'ve spent the night going through all the viral advertising and its actually interesting stuff. Love the ad campaign for this movie and all the speculation still surrounding it.

Will say tho I thought the monster itself looked stupid. I hope there is a sequel, even with the mediocre acting i\'m still very curious about what happened to Rob, Beth & Lilly.

and I didn\'t find the "Help us" and "Its still alive" coming through the radio or whatever after the end credits annoying.


http://tidowave.com/ and http://tagruato.jp/ were also pretty cool.

Oh and it sucked when Marlena got bit and exploded behind the curtain. She was my favourite one of the \'sexy teens\'.

what are in the dvd extras?

i was debating getting it just because i liked it..but i might wait for blu ray since ill have a ps3 by the time they release it.

did u notice the thing in the water in the end? thats a big reason i want to see it again because i didnt catch it in the theater

Special Features are

Director Commentary
Making of
Creature Design
Gag Reel
Deleted Scenes
Alternate Endings

I actually didn\'t see the thing (I think its a sattelite) fall into the water at the very end. I read about it on the net afterwards and went back and you can clearly see (if your paying attention to that area of the screen) something fall from the sky and land into the ocean.

I also just watched it the other day. It was decent I think, nothing terrible but not amazing either.

I\'ve already forgotten about it.  Wake me when something is actually explained

I\'ve already forgotten about it.  Wake me when something is actually explained

think you missed the point of the movie being footage from a tape recorder

i also cant wait for the sequel to wrap things up and explain things but explanations were the opposite of what cloverfield was going for

Just saw the movie tonight, not good at all.  I can\'t think of any redeeming factors.

Found a cool little easter egg on the scene selection of the DVD but the fucking disc freezes when I get to it.

It looks like an army video file with 8 different codes (linking to videos) But I could only get 3 to work. One of them was titled \'Org. Of Intrest\' and it took you to the homepage of the Slusho energy drink company (the drink with the deep sea nectar in it).

One of them was a video titled \'Alpha Encounter - UNCONFIRMED\' which was a news report style video about a sinking oilrig.



There was also another one called \'Person of interest\' which took me to a screen of 11 videos. Webcam videos made by some woman talking to a boyfriend who just moved away. She has a blue gift wrapped box that he told her not to open until December 9th. As the video journals progress you find out that he hasn\'t contacted her in over a month and on December 9th she opens the box and finds a Slusho baseball cap, something else wrapped in plastic with a note saying \'Primary evidence. Freeze ASAP. Jamie do not eat this.\' and a  tape recorder.

The tape recorded message which is months old at this point, is from the boyfriend who is freaking. He says if your hearing this message before we\'ve spoken then that means i\'ve been captured by a company named Tagruato. He tells her not to go to the authorities and to wait for someone named Randy to contact her.

She assumes this is an elaborate way from him to dump her and stops the message early, cusses the boyfriend out, and turns off the webcam. The last webcam journal entry is the girl talking a mile a minute, like shes on speed or meth or crack or all 3. Talking about how shes over the dude and ready to move on with her life and is going out tonight to fuck some new guy.

So I assume she either ate what was in the bag (who eats something random wrapped in plastic sitting in a gift box for months ?) Or she recently had one of the Slusho energy drinks I assume is the more likely answer.


What does all this mean?


Fuck if I know.

I MIGHT rent this,...but everybody here is giving mostly an underwhelming experience,...if there\'s nothing worth gettin\' in blockbuster on friday, then i might pick it up...

get The Orphanage if you don\'t mind spanish sub-titles.

As for Cloverfield. Well I liked it, but I thought it was going to be a tremendous piece of shit. I maybe had my expectations so low that when I realized I wasn\'t dissapointed with it at all that I probably overlooked things that other people are griping about.

I guess its one of those you either like it or you don\'t but I expected the level of corniness and cheese to be very high. I was pleased it took itself much more seriously than I expected.

I just saw this not too long ago myself. I didn\'t see any of the hype for it, but I was told it was like Blair Witch.
 
I dig what they were trying to do, a cross between Blair Witch and Godzilla. But I think I would\'ve enjoyed it more if it was filmed like a regular movie. I wasn\'t any more engaged in the film because of how it was shot, instead I just kept getting taken totally out of it by the incredibly shakey (OMGZ ITz r3aL!!1_) camera.
