Cloverfield 4/22 DVD

[txteach]

I loved this movie and can't wait to buy it. Anyone else anticipating it's release eagerly?

[QDOGG]

Oh yeah! Looking forward to it. Hope there are plenty of extras!

[thunderbolt]

got it in my netflix Q

[Seeker]

Can't wait for the DVD. The toy also looks great. $100 is alot though.

[Sideshow Spock]

got it in my netflix Q
So did I, with a spot open today. It should have shipped, but it skipped over it and went to another release. I wonder if it's a "Blockbuster only" rental for the first week or whatever. I hate when they do that.

[toys2cool]

Haven't seen it yet,but yeah i've been waiting for it :grin:

[Mikey]

Still never seen it, but all the hype saying the shakey cams make people sick is scaring me away from watching it.

I hate shakey cam scenes......

If the whole movie is like that --- I think i'll pass

[JPkempo]

no hi-def so I'm not in a hurry.

[BlackKnight]

Is this really that good ?

[QDOGG]

Is this really that good ?

Hey Jason. I wouldn't really call it good as in Oscar caliber, but it was fun in a "cheesy," way! I'm a big fan of big monster movies, Godzilla, King Kong and such. I also really dig low budget stuff, Full Moon films , 80's horror, and any thing by Frank Henenlotter. So for me it was pretty cool! I was a little disappointed by the final look of the monster, but his little friends were ,"killer:wink_y:" I will say this though I was not to keen of the main human characters, after the first fifteen minutes I turned to my buddy and said I hope every single one of these mf's die! So if you have a little time to waste, check it out, you might enjoy it! I'm hoping the dvd has plenty of extras, cause you know how I love a good back story:silly:

So your the other Full moon fan. Here I thought I was the only one!

I myself liked Cloverfield. The shakey camera helped with setting the confusion and chaos.After all, it was an eye witness with a video camera so its actually supposed to be like a documentary. The camera is still when it needs to be for the money shots.

Have you watched the Oscar nominated films from this past year? Most of them are so artsy the average person thinks there just OK.

This is a action sci-fi film out there for fun and profit. The only oscar this type of film would ever get is for FX. This is the kind of film I would rather watch.

Saw "No country for old men" came away from that shaking my head with a *** feeling.

You know what man I don't think I did see any of this years Oscar contenders:biggrin: I was just using the term as a generalization. I just didn't want to seem like I was hyping it and Jason goes and rents it thinks is sucks and then is PO'd at me for wasting his money! Like I said I enjoyed it,
and will be getting it on dvd. I see movies I like or look interesting to me. I never care for what the critics say or how much money it makes. I really dug DOOMSDAY, and it's considered a box office flop! Did you like "No Country for Old Men?" I haven't seen it yet. My friends who saw it said it was good except the end. Guess I will have to check it out! Thanks for your reply.
Keep cool:cool3:

[spiderrogue]

this was like, if godzilla had really happened...it had that feel of "real life" to it...it wasnt bad, but it wasnt the best flick out there...i'll probably buy it once it hits the prev. viewed movie section at local video store in a month or so....

[Mikey]

Why is the movie called Cloverfield ?

[spiderrogue]

ummm..i dont know, does anyone? maybe just a random name? maybe i missed someting in the movie..lol...

[Mikey]

I never seen the movie yet ....

But I do know a giant monster attacks NYC

And he's always called (on the net) "The Cloverfield Monster"

Just wondering how he got that name --- and why the movie is called Cloverfield

It was OK but the ending sucked. One part of the end should have been a suprise but, you could see comming from a mile away, it's been done before.

No country for old men

I think it was one of those deals where if the first one did well, they already have thier foot in the door for the sequal.

I enjoyed it tremendously and hope there is a part 2...........

[BlackKnight]

No Country for OldMen was cool,.. until the last HalfHour or so,..Then it Blew Arse imo. They Had Something,.. then let it get away from them,.. or atleast it got away from me,.. the more I think about it & stew on the Movie... I just think "MEH". :muh: ... I Wasted 20bucks.

[Vortigern99]

Apparently the name "Cloverfield" comes from where the military discovered the video tape. That is all.

This is an awesome movie, BTW, and one I cannot wait to see again.

Cloverfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverfield)


The film is presented as being filmed by a digital hand-held camera obtained by the United States Department of Defense pertaining to Case Designate "Cloverfield" found in US-447, an area "formerly known as Central Park". The footage that comprises the rest of the film is shot under the context of a personal hand-held camera used by various characters throughout the film's events

[Flynne]

They had originally intended for the film to be called "Greyshot", because the camera was supposed to be found under the Greyshot Bridge in Central Park. "Cloverfield" was the cover name for the film while in production (like "Blue Harvest" for RotJ), and named after one of the streets near Abram's Production Office in LA. But the name leaked out onto the Web and it stuck. The Producers were afraid to change the name and potentially lose the buzz created on the Web, so they left the name on the film. There is no "Cloverfield" in Central Park, though I guess it is entirely possible that there is a field with clover in it somewhere on site.

Incidentally, I loved the film - "Godzilla", but as seen from the perspective of the residents of Tokyo.

Hmmmm....

Having finally seen it (about an hour ago) I gotta say; it's pretty good. I find that a lot of people's complaints are unfounded. You DO get a few good looks at the monster, the characters act pretty realisticly, and there's really only one thing that isn't explained. Well; one and a half.

A lot of the stuff they did reminds me of scenes from the second and third of the new Gamera movies, which I also highly recommend; and I thought the end theme had more than a passing semblance to the "Godzilla march." Even the weird, skinny monster worked for me once I saw it in action. It kinda reminds me of a monster from one of them old Kirby monster comics.

just watched it and I gotta say I loved it :grin:

[Seeker]

I loved it too. You really need to see it on the big screen though for the best effect. Its great that you never really know what the thing is or where it came from.

My one and only problem with the movie. That is one hell of a camcorder battery. It ran all night even using extras like the light and night vision.

Come on Easy fix. Have the girl friend give the camera guy some sort of pack that had a few extra batteries in it.

Ive heard this one the web but missed in the movie. Did anybody see "Anything" at the end of the tape when they were back on the date on the ferris wheel..... In the ocean behind them?

I have to pick up the DVD. If anybody else has it already how are the extras?

[ctc]

>That is one hell of a camcorder battery.

HAW! I thought that too; but I figgered they got a few more at the electronics store. (When they got the extra cell phone batteries.) Although when you think about it; it really only ran for the length of the movie; a little under an hour and a half.

>Did anybody see "Anything" at the end of the tape when they were back on the date on the ferris wheel..... In the ocean behind them?

I didn't. I was told that the monster DID have something to do with the sunken oil tanker.

>If anybody else has it already how are the extras?

Meh. The interviews are interesting, but the alternate endings and deleted scenes don't tell you any more. Although in one of the alternate endings you see the camera being unburied by some guy in a gas mask, for like, three frames. Which doesn't ADD to anything, 'cos you know right from the beginning that the government recovered the tape. (It has a DoD security disclaimer on it.)

lmao!! I kept saying the same thing to my wife :smiley1: I was like wow babe we need that camera,that darn battery doesn't die even after they use it as a flash light and night vision :smiley1:

Supposedly you can see something fall into the ocean in the background. A meteor maybe? I missed it in the theater.

[toys2cool]

D'oh!! I returned the rental this morning and didn't see that :14:

[noelani72]

we bought it yesterday.
The boy and I put it on the projector..watched it around 9:30pm...during a thunder storm...with the windows open (sorry neighbors it was loud).

Gotta say, itwas pretty cool.

Seemed there was a lot to leave to your imagination, so I would like more answers. It did bounce around a lot, but in a weird way, it made you feel interactive.

I wish the abomination they called, Godzilla, would have been presented in a fashion like this instead of some campy comedy.

[Vortigern99]

The object falling into the water is meant to be the monster itself as a newborn baby, according to the filmmakers. Though this doesn't really add anything to the film, it's interesting to know that the creators' approach to the creature was as a baby that was wandering around aimlessly looking for its mother!!

[Dr. Phibes]

I wanted to see this sooo bad. I was dissappointed with it-rented ondvd and didn't bother with extras. I didn't like the characters and it was kinda stupid they were running for their lives and the guy Hud kept filming everything. I personally feel this could have been so much better.
