Sumdumgai Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I'm going so I can watch the Star Trek teaser trailer. I do want to see the movie too, but that's just extra for me. Quote
deadghost Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 did anyone notice the scene where there pulling away the sick lady with the guys in bio suits, and if you look closely its like something is about to burst out of her chest or something. Quote

mriboy Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I will wait to see ppls reviews, if it's all filmed like blair witch camera style I might wait. I got motion sickness from that movie didn't barf but man was i feeling green. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Yep, teaser trailer for Star Trek. I hope whatever is trashing the city in this movie, really trashes the hell out of the city and wreaks total havoc. Need a good giant monster movie. Quote
Kelsain Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Yep, teaser trailer for Star Trek. I hope whatever is trashing the city in this movie, really trashes the hell out of the city and wreaks total havoc. Need a good giant monster movie. Well, the trailer does say that the video was salvaged from what was "formerly known as Central Park." Quote
deadghost Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Well, the trailer does say that the video was salvaged from what was "formerly known as Central Park." man just give me a reasonable mecha - one that is good with hand to hand combat, and I can take care of this gloverfield monster with no damage to the citizens (well maybe a little, I might step on someone, or accident'ly blow up a building lol). I am thinking of either a EVA or becomeing ULTRAMAN. Man I cant decide, I would say a valk or a destroid but I dont think they are of the right caliber. But becomeing Ultraman would be sweet, I always wanted to do that thing with the laser arm thingymigjig. Quote

reddsun1 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Okay, that whole "Lord of the Dance" bit at the end was just....perverse. Quote
Doktor Gonzo Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Okay, that whole "Lord of the Dance" bit at the end was just....perverse. I was young, I was foolish... and I had a 2 min minimum length, two days to meet it, and only the one mocap clip to cheat it out with.... what would YOU have done? Quote
lord_breetai Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I want to enter the Slusho contest commercial... remember Slusho is not scary or bad, or related to anything scary or bad. Quote
briscojr84 Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Depends on speed of monster. Iowa class is good for 35+ mph if it has to run away. Godzilla's never moved very fast IIRC. Yeah too bad somebody had them retired. Quote
Graham Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Anybody seen it yet? Comments? Good/bad? It started showing here in Hong Kong yesterday (January 17th), but I haven't had time to go see it yet. Graham Quote
Macross73 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Thought somebody would have some info by now I'm going later today with my brother. hopefully we'll catch it early afternoon. Quote
jenius Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) The initial review on MSNBC said this is a must see. I'm surprised. I hope it lives up to the hype! Edited January 18, 2008 by jenius Quote
wolfx Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 So is this show supposed to be like Blair Witch where they run around with a portable camera? Quote
Shmitty Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I just saw it, and I really have to say I wasn't expecting much given all the hype. However, it went above and beyond my expectations. The shaky cam is pulled off very well, and there are moments where sincere terror can be felt by the audience. Honestly, there were a few parts that seemed, 'iffy' at least from a probability standpoint, but still, it really is a must-see. They managed to even get characters you truly care about with unique exposition and through the events of the film; which is practically unheard of for sci-fi action pics/ monster movies, But they did it. To truly experience the film, you've got to see it in theaters. I'd give it a solid 4.5/5. It had some holes (mostly militarily), but I really enjoyed it. Quote
EXO Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I don't know... I'm really picky with movies and all I can say is: FREAKIN BADASS!!! I want to go see it again tomorrow! Saw it at the Mann's Chinese. Here's a shaky cam pic...lol Quote
Zor Primus Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) So is the monster seen in the movie or are we left with the whole black mist like mystery? edit: Wait...I just spoiled the mystery already...lol does it really look like a copy of Sin from FFX? Edited January 18, 2008 by Zor Primus Quote
mriboy Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I am going to see it in 3 hours from now. Quote
deadghost Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 ok, unlike you guys im too cheap to see the movie, so I went to see the spoilers on the net, and found a link for you guys, BUT REMEMBER I CAN ONLY SHOW YOU THE DOOR, YOU CAN ONLY OPEN IT, and dont go to the mods and say "deadghost ruined a movie for me, banned him", YOU DO THAT AL RIP YOUR SAC Anyways click at your own risk. clover field spoier -DO NOT DRINK SLUSHO, JUST TRUST ME Quote
Scream Man Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 i thoroughly enjoyed it It was tense, it was well planned out, it was filled with characters who didnt actcompletely stupidly. Wonderful film, I'd see it again. Plus, as a filmmaker, trust me when i say the FX are more amazing that many realise: Doing what they did on a shakey frame is HARD Quote
mriboy Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 It was blah to me give it 2 stars out of 5, Blair witch all over again. Made my stomache upset and other ppl where complaing about it to. The story was good just couldn't take the handheld camera all over the place most of the movie. Quote
HoveringCheesecake Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I found out today that my local theater won't be showing it. It's a chain that covers Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Ohio. Unfortunately they also bought the theaters here in Fargo, so now I'm boned. Apparently they won't show it because the studio won't give them a good deal? What? They did this with Sweeney Todd as well. Bizarre. Quote
Hikaru's VF-1S Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 just saw the movie, was pretty good, was a enjoyable movie with interesting scenes. was wondering if there was anything after the credits? =P Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 meh_cd: My area/theaters too, though we just got Sweeney Todd finally. Quote
Scream Man Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 after the credits there is a black screen and u can hear a very faint crackly "Help me" that sounds like the lead guy i think the main complaint people have with this is the hand hed, and i can see the argument. To me, that something u need to be aware of goign in; if the handheld isnt goign to be for u, then this is a movie to skip Quote
Effect Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Curious do you ever learn why the monster exist, what it is? Or anything like that or is it all from the point of view of the characters with them in the end still not having a clue as to what is going on? Quote
Max Jenius Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Without spoiling anything... is there ever a CLEAR connection made between Slusho/Evil Japanese Corporation and the monster? Or is it just red herring? Quote
bluecyclone Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I just got back from seeing it also, it was ok. I wouldn't go see it again. Was it just me or did the monster look like Highlight below if you want to see what I'm about to say, if you don't want to be spoiled, don't look. [ a big spider with a tail ]? Quote

No, reminds me more of a frog look at it's head when it goes to eat Hud and you'll see what I mean. My only complaint is that it was too friggin short, less than an hour and a half when you subtract the previews. Quote

jwinges Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 So if my wife get motion sickness from blair witch will she from cloverfield? Is the shakeycam any better? Thanks....I'm trying to talk her into going. Quote
