OT: Anyone seen Cloverfield (movie) yet?

If so, how was it? Is it another Godzilla type movie? Worth it?
Everyone thought the trailer was about 'Voltron', which
I can't wait to see.

    I loved it!
  • I thought it was great. I plan on seeing it again after hearing about some of the subtilties that went unnoticed the first time around. There's also one thing that I'm pretty interested in seeing again.


    If any of you have seen it and would like me to tell you some of the small things I have heard or just discuss the movie, feel free to pm me so we don't spoil it.

    I couldn't get into it. I think mainly 'cause I'm not very fond of this type of story telling style. It was unique for Blair Witch, but to see it used again in another movie was a little too much for me.
  • Thought it sucked. The only good thing about it was the hot girl that the guy was trying to save.. It would of been better if it was more realistic ... like have it be a terrorist attack and its crazy everywhere instead of a monster/creature.. that ruined it in my opinion

    I thought it was really good, but it made me queasy. I get motion sick very easily. If you go see it DO NOT sit in the front!

    SPOILER....













































    During the flashback scene at the end of the movie (when the guy and his girlfriend are on the faris wheel at Coney Island) you can see the creature in the ocean, way off in the distance.

  • I thought that it was well done. I wish that it was longer.

    I can't wait for the DVD.

    i watched final 3:00 on youtube monday morning, pretty neat.

    the easter egg at the end is "it's still alive & some other bull -ish i cant remember".

    I walked out after 30 minutes. The camera is super herky-jerky - far more so than necessary for the type of storytelling they were going for - and I got physically ill from it. 7 hours later, my head was still pounding.

    First time I've ever had that happen in a movie.

    And the 30 minutes I saw wasn't all that great.

  • try not to have a seizure when you watch the movie, its that bad.

    it mostly lives up to the hype. almost. very distracting camera work. would have been fine for ten minutes etc. or as a flashback, but completely unnecessary for the duration.
