Cloverfield
  • carto0ncarto0n January 2008
    As the title states, anyone going to see this new movie from JJ Abrams?

    Looks like it could be really good, or really bad.

    Here is the trailer, for those who havent seen it...

    Yeah, looks hella good, but the trailer shows some good action scenes. I just hope that as all it has.
  • PheylanPheylan January 2008
    I've seen only positive commentary so far on it. I plan on going to see it.
  • I haven't been to a movie in over a year. Don't think that's going to change any time soon, either.
  • scrubblescrubble January 2008
    it's going to be awesome. the first ever monster movie that tells the story from the people actually being killed.

    you're definitely missing out on some quality films then. at least two films came out this year that are just flawless.
  • BillBill January 2008
    Yeah, it was pretty good.
  • fr4ggedfr4gged January 2008
    just saw I Am Legend last night, and planning to see this on sunday.

    I love Abrams' work, especially lost, so this should be an amazing movie.
  • neocronneocron January 2008
    I'll definitely check it out when it hits the UK.

    so what's it look like? it's a giant liger isn't it

    no it's not a liger.
    and the concept of how the whole movie is shot with handcam+ the ending.
    its sick.

    go see or go die.
  • PotatoPotato January 2008
    fucking awesome.

    it was like a universal studio ride times 800 and a half
  • carto0ncarto0n January 2008
    i failed.
  • redboneredbone January 2008
    I didn't go see it personally so I can't say this for sure, but 3 of my friends went and saw it, with diverse enough tastes in movies that if it was good one of them should have liked it... but all three thought it was lame.

    P.S. they were all also equally excited about going to see it from the trailers and advertising as you guys are, they just thought it was a major let down.
  • scrubblescrubble January 2008
    it's not a major let down. it's a great movie.
  • cutchinscutchins January 2008
    i heard it was awesome but at the end it somehow seemed a little short.
  • NunesNunes January 2008
    The guy who films the whole thing is named Hud. And they make it a point to use his name a lot. that aside it was a sweet flick. I'd be willing to see it again in DLP.
  • maliskmalisk January 2008
    Fucking awful...

    If some one ever handed me a script with dialog like that, Id throw it down and take a fucking dump on it.

    So disappointed.
  • fr4ggedfr4gged January 2008
    Just saw it, and I've gotta say it was a great movie. Girlfriend absolutely hated it, but I thought it was brilliant.

    There's barely any trace of hollywood movie garbage there, goes completely against what would be considered the norm, and it works, dear god it works,

    Going to see it again..
  • maliskmalisk January 2008
    How can you stand that guy behind the camera though? They could NOT have come up with a more annoying person to hold the camera...

    haha you saw I am Legend? i didn't think anyone would pay to see that shit

    but yeah cloverfield - marginally entertaining film. Wasn't bad, but somebody definitely turned up the suck knobs during post production. the monster was kinda gay too. Points for Lizzie Caplan though

    Believe it or not it wasn't shot with a handicam, although it looked like it.

    They shot it with an HD sony camera, a Sony CineAlta F23 i believe, it was shot in cinema verite, and edited to look like it was shot by hand, but all that horrible cameraship was done on purpose.

    But I still loved it. image/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

    ...No, I meant how could you stand what he said.
