“Cloverfield” Spoiler Alert
Posted on January 16th, 2008If you don’t want the details please don’t read! The info is from a person that apparently saw a screening of the movie and leaked the details. I haven’t read this info because I am trying to go in fresh!
Film opens. Screen is blank for a while, then it starts flasihing colours and you discover that this is a copy of a government video not to be duplicated. It says Camera found at Area 449 (I think the number was like that I can’t remember exactly what it was), formerly known as Central Park. It describes the Cloverfield incident.
Film opens with rob filming NY from the window in Beth’s dad’s apartment. He walks along the corridor and films the photos in the hall and walks into the room and films Beth while she is sleeping in bed Beth wakes up and talks to Rob for a minute before the camera cuts to her trying to catch fruit in her mouth that Rob is throwing at her lying in bed.
Film cuts to Jason filming Lily (his girlfriend) who is telling him that he is going to be in charge of the camera while at the party. He goes over to Hud who is helping prepare Rob’s leaving party and tells him is he is going to be in charge of the camera at the party and he just has to go around and get everybody to film a farewell message for Rob, like they do at weddings. Party happens (Rob has been promoted to vice president in Japan).
Hud is in charge of filming the party. At the part you discover that Rob has slept with Beth and they have a fight in the hallway about it.
Monster attacks during the party. All the main characters are going to die sometime in the film.
The monster looks like a big dinosaur crossed with an alien and tarantula like creatures fall off it.
Rob and Beth have a fight at the party and she leaves with a guy she bought to the party. Soon after she leaves the monster attacks and everybody leaves the party and they hide in a shop. when they go out onto the street they see buildings collapsing and they decide they have to get out of NY, They head to the Brooklyn Bridge and there Beth calls Rob saying she is trapped and can’t move.
They stop on the bridge even though they are meant to be moving and Jason (Rob’s brother) climbs up higher too see what is happening and at that minute the monster attacks and kills Jason. They start running as the bridge collapses behind them. They go into a electronic store because Rob’s mobile battery has run out and they see what is happening on T.V. They go into the subway and Rob’s mother calls and he tells her Jason is dead.
They (Rob, Lily, Marlena ad Hud) decide to start walking the train tracks because Rob wants to go and save Marlena because off her message on the bridge. Hud makes lots of jokes about a homeless guy that lives near train tracks and likes to light people on fire.
At that moment they notice that rats are running and they wonder what they are running from. They turn on the night vision and at that moment the tarantula like creatures emerge and start to attack them. Marlena gets hurt the worst her whole back been bitten while Hud has hurt his leg.
They crawl off the train tracks and into a room and decide whatever option they take they are going to die, so they might as well get out of here and try get back above ground.
They enter a department store and Marlena is looking really ill. At that moment the army emerges and says they have found four survivors and take them into a room where all the other survivors are (nearly all are near dead) at that moment Marlena starts bleeding from here eye and everybody starts screaming she is infected and they drag her into a sealed place and you see blood splatter everywhere (it looks like the shot her or she exploded, but you don’t see it happen).
Lily, Rob and Hud are in hysterics and they tell the army guy they are going to rescue Beth whether he likes it or not. He tells them if the can be back by 6.00 the helicopters will pick them up and take them to safety. The army guy also tells them that the armed forces are going to take one more go at blowing up the monster and if it doesn’t work they are going to leave NY to the monster and let the city be destroyed.
They leave the place and run to Beth’s apartment to see that it is leaning over onto another apartment, They decide to go up the opposite building and then cross where the building has fallen into the other one to get in to Beth’s room (39th floor). They climb up and cross and find Beth alive but impaled on a pole going through her shoulder.
Despite her pleas they pull her off and they hobble off out of the building and into the street, While they were in the building another tarantula tries to attack them but they kill t. They make it to helicopters and lily goes off in one. The next one arrives and Hud, Beth and Rob get on it.
As they fly off they see the monster be what they think is blown up. As they cheer out of the smoke it suddenly strikes the helicopter and it crashes into Central park. They survive though the pilot is dead. You see that NY is pretty much destroyed. Rob’s head is hurt and they have to drag him from the wreckage and his leg is badly hurt.
As they start walking off, Hud is lagging behind and suddenly looks up and the monster is looking down at him ( it is the only clear shot you see of the monster. It looks like a dinosaur but with crab like legs and a sort of elephanty looking face (minus the trunk).
It bites Hud and kills him and spits him out and the camera. The camera lies on the ground filming Hud’s dead face in the grass going sharp and blurry for a few secs, before Rob picks up the camera and him and Beth hide under a bridge in the park.
Rob films himself saying his name and tells people that if they are watching this they know more than him. He turns the camera to Beth who says her name and at that moment the bridge is blown up and collapses on them. You see the from the view of the camera that rocks are piling up on it and you hear Rob say ‘I love you’ to Beth and the reply ‘I love you too’.
The screen cuts back to the tape it has been recording over and you see a video of Rob filming Beth. He tells here there are two seconds left on the camera and what does she have to say. She replies ‘I had a great day’ and the camera goes blank. Credits come up. No soundtrack. Everyone died, except you never find out what happened to Lily in the first helicopter. You never find out what happened to the monster. You never find out what happened to NYC.
After the credits, footage is seen of Rob and Beth on vacation in front of a body of water. You see something drop from the sky into the water behind them. Cuts to black. You hear a male whisper, “What now?” End.

All I can say about this movie is I want my money back. I knew what I was getting into with this movie. Not another Blair Witch Project with a BIG monster that shats little monsters. I liked Blair Witch I thought it was new and innovative. But this was just boring and tired. If it werent for the loud noises and bad writing that had me in pain, the writing not the noise. I would have fell asleep or walked out. But I kept hopping that it would get better, it didnt it kept getting worse. Just bad. I want my money back J.J Abrams
January 18th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
At the very end theres no scene where something falls out of the sky into the water and the whisper had to be played backwards and it says “It’s still alive”
January 18th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Personally i agree. the camera angles made it suck. monster was not that scary. The camera angles downplayed the fear of the audience… BECAUSE WE COULDN’T SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON!!!!!! Clearly this was a LOW BUDGET film. I was thinking the whole time why they couldn’t hire a couple professional camera guys. It was like umm….why did you get some unknown actor to double as your camera guy? Most of what i saw was blood and feet. ohh yeah and drunk/ buzzed people. I walked out after an hour. I was about to puke. (not from the gore but from the camera angles.) When i went to get a refund they could only get me a free voucher. So i walked away disappointed.
January 18th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
I realized that actually it basically is revealed what happens, cause the keep mentioning operation hammerdown, which means to level off the city…
so obviously the city is destroyed, most people probually die from wreckage
and the monster should be easily killed if the ground is leveled off cause it’d be wide open..
but we dont know if they trully succeed or not…

I loved this movie. Best movie i seen!
January 19th, 2008 at 1:20 am
WOW! Very well done. I have not had seen anything so well done. The POV was great. If i was caring the camera, i would have had shots of only the ground. The visual effects are amazing. This is a onetime movie. There will be no #2 for this Director. Short but stunning. If you love the director you will love this work. It is a very original movie.
January 19th, 2008 at 3:37 am
Severely disappointed. For those of you with motion sickness, save yourself the $8.00 (REALLY)! I’ve seen the Blair Witch Project & didn’t need to see it’s sister film “The Blair Witch Monster”! I tried getting my money back too with no avail, what a crap-shoot… What crap! I just really hope if they decide to make a sequel… Please, film it straight forward & no more of this point of view craze that everyone’s gotta do in movies now. It made it so unenjoyable that I could never own this simply because I can’t watch that kind of camera movement without getting sick.
January 19th, 2008 at 4:22 am
Cloverfield was excellent. I think everyone is looking for an “Independence Day” when they see the big scary monster. Why is this being compared to “Blair Witch”? These are completely different movies. Thats like saying that “The Departed” can be compared to “Gone in 60 Seconds”. This was a great idea. The camera usage was unique and intimate which made the movie that much better. Is it shakey? Yes. If you don’t like it, leave. You can get your money back within the first half hour.
January 19th, 2008 at 10:38 am
I thought it was finally something new. It wasn’t about the monster or really about the characters plot… its about you living what they lived for that amount of time. It was realistic. I loved it and plan on going back to watch the end to see if u can really see it fall.
January 19th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
abram’s main purpose for this film was to appeal to fan’s of his t.v. show “lost.” That’s why its so low budget; he knew that once people started seeing it, word would spread that it sucked and it would not make a lot of $$ beyond opening weekend.
as such, if your not a fan of the show “lost,” then the movie probably really sucked for you. but if you do follow “lost”, then you know that movie is just one piece of a much bigger puzzle.
January 19th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I don’t understand why everyone has to do something new.. Guess what, everything worth doing has been done, this is new, but not worth doing.
boring and motion sickness.. I would not mind a little POV camera thrown in, but use that nice footage and editing. (these sceens went on forever and felt like home movies).
January 19th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
you guys do realize th camera angles were shot in those ways to make it seem like it was an actual documentary at that point in time. i thought the movie was well made and how everything ended….made it even better, i went into the movie not knowing anything of what was going to happen, and i came out very happy i spent 10 bucks to see it
January 19th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Wow all of you guys who are saying this movie sucked, you are WRONG. there is only like a couple parts of the movie where you can get motion sickness, and it lasts like 5 seconds so suck it up. It was a fantastic movie, i personally like how it didn’t answer all the questions. I’m not sure if there will be a sequel or not.

Cloverfield Ending Credits
At the credits ending of Cloverfield, *Spoilers* the audio from the video cam says, “Help us!”. But when played backwards, it says, “It’s still alive!” This happens after the end credits of Cloverfield. Assuming the speaker was Rob, he suggests Cloverfield (the monster) is still alive. This also suggests a sequel for Cloverfield 2! *Spoilers*
The Japanese oil company TAGRUATO drops a satellite (Chimpanz III) into the ocean as part of viral marketing (shown at the end of the movie when Rob and Beth were on the ferris wheel). TAGRUATO works with SLUSHO (a slush company), as the main ingredient for SLUSHO is found at the satellite dropzone (deep ocean). While searching for satellite and ingredients, they woke Cloverfield (the monster).
The main ingredient of Slusho apparently turns a tiny fish into a HUGE whale, which explains the size of Cloverfield.
Rob apparently was going to be the Vice President of TAGRUATO in Japan.

ATTENTION ALL Cloverfield haters there is going to be two versions of the movie on dvd one in Hud’s POV and the other in an omniscient POV like normal movies are filmed if you want go to 7024movies.com for more info
January 19th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I’m Joking Of course But The Movie Kicked A$$
January 19th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
This movie rocked! i loved how they used the camera like that, it was as if you were actually there, just imagine yourself in their place, i know i would of crapped myself when i saw that thing. hud kinda screwed up, most people wouldn’t just stand in front of the monster like that, and the whole operation hammer down was the military blowing up the entire city so it was all flat, nothing there, just a wide field -cloverfield. i’m pretty sure it showed it drop before the dredits though, cuz rob was filming the water from the top of the ferris wheel then u see it drop, which almost no one notices and then they talk about how it was a good day or wutev. i love how they leave it so … open, it is just like lost, which i LOVE. they leave it open for you to figure it out, for you imagination to sore, some might thing that lily lived, while others can think she crashed as well, you might never find out. i seriously doubt Abrams is going to give us a second one. this is officialy my new favourite movie, and as soon as it comes out i’m going to buy it. if you seriously get sick from watching an effin’ movie, there is something wrong with you. this movie has nothing to do with the blaire witch project, if u don’t like the movie, don’t come whining to us about how u wanted to puke or wutever, suck it up! just leave with in the first 30 mins. (which would suck because it doesn’t even get to the good parts by then) and yuo’ll get your money back.
January 20th, 2008 at 12:17 am
I haven’t seen this movie yet, and I didn’t want to have to read the spoiler above but I wanted to say
I’m looking forward to it.
Yes, it’s not that whole 3rd person shots that are super perfect and couldn’t get any better, but the whole point is like
1st person, it makes the movie more intense and you see it from the eye of the person, sort of like your in it.
I like those kinds of movies, and you don’t get a lot like those.
I think everyones{Most people i’ve heard from} problem is that they arn’t use to it.
January 20th, 2008 at 1:29 am
It’s a movie people. How about attempting to immerse yourself for once sheesh. Yes it’s a POV movie. Why is that? Because if it wasn’t it wouldn’t have the same effect. If it was 3ed person people would complain that it’s a typical monster movie. I take it for what it was and enjoyed it. Yes it was flawed (some writing and drawn out parts) but I enjoyed how an event of this magnitude may have looked in real life.
January 20th, 2008 at 2:17 am
it was “low budget” but it still cost $25 million. i thought it was a pretty good movie. i got dizzy and my head hurt so i had to close my eyes several times. its not people’s fault if they have motion sickness. thats just what the jerky camera does to people. i still thought it was a good movie even though it make me queazy.
January 20th, 2008 at 2:45 am
Yeah I loved the way it was first person, it’s like you were on a thrill ride or something. I think they did an awesome job, I don’t understand why you people are comparing it to the blair witch project. I give it two thumbs up, i suggest seeing it now, i’m guessing it wouldn’t be as exciting on a little tv with no surround sound.
January 20th, 2008 at 2:47 am
You can tell it came from the water, just look at poster above, there’s a little indent in the water from the statue of liberty to new york
January 20th, 2008 at 3:05 am
Very good movie! I loved it! Just saw it an hr ago and want to see it again. So intense. For those of you thinking of seeing it….go see it now. Do not wait till it comes on DVD. You need the big screen and surround sound to get the real feel of the movie. Blair witch sucked! Cloverfield is off the chain!!!
January 20th, 2008 at 9:22 am
That movie was so awesome, and for the people who said it was gay, I have a message: SCREW YOU!!! You’re gay! Stop masturbating and get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 20th, 2008 at 9:32 am
I heard people said they hate how it was filmed. I SAT IN THE FRONT ROW, & DID NOT GET DIZZY! It was a great way to film it, it makes you wonder how hard these guys worked to make the special effects match the movement of the camera, I’d love to see you make a better movie! BTW, I’m changing my name to Josh. Josh hooper is just too many words.
January 21st, 2008 at 12:02 am
Hey, Dr. Seuss, if it was a low budget movie, how was it able to raise all of the hype with the ridiculous amount of advertising done on the film? You clearly know nothing of movie budgeting.
January 21st, 2008 at 3:20 am
I enjoyed the movie for its innovative perspective and almost believability. The way the movie is portrayed in first person develops the story and tone of the movie much better than a regular 3rd person production. Just the fact that you know exactly what the characters know makes it an enticing, suspenseful movie.
January 21st, 2008 at 7:45 am
Man, I really wanna see this. Back when I first saw the trailers I was all like: “Hey, its totally ‘Blair Witch 3-the NY Edition’ and from what I can tell, I was right! I love Blair Witch and all of the mythos that went into it (I think I was in like…. 5th grade when that came out and I still loved it~!) This obviously had a bigger following, ergo a bigger let down. The poster doesn’t do it justice, it looks like a Godzilla rip-off (which, Abrums was quoted on Yahoo.com news as saying he wanted to give the US a Godzilla-esque monster movie from the POV of the people) and the trailer dose a good job of making it look like ‘Blair Witch Project’ (which in its own right, was a great movie. It was new, and built a lot of suspense through the unseen, which I think that was the point of the whole movie.) but I can’t pass judgment on something I haven’t see. It looks refreshing, and I can’t wait to see it. Maybe tomorrow?
What evZ. Thanks for the Spoilage~!

I loved this movie, I heard everyone talking about watching until after the credits so we did… The graspy voice saying what ever he said… I didnt see anything like “You see something drop from the sky into the water behind them.” It was just credits, then “It’s alive” or what ever he said. I want this movie on DVD. I would pay to see this again, we had to sit in the front row… If you thought the movie hurt the eyes… try watching it in the front row. But I still loved this movie, the spoilers of the monster on google, are way off. Those are based off “Godzillaz Rival” The details listed are right, but the pictures are wrong. I have yet to see an accurate picture of it. Well anyway for the first quarter of the film I thought it was Godzilla, then in the subway I thought there we spiders…. Anyway great movie!

The king was naked, yet all the fools raved over his splendidness.
KEVIN likes watching race-car movies to see what kind of hamburgers the pit crew eats…
THE worst film of 2008, no matter WHAT!
January 21st, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Stop comparing blair witch to cloverfield, I’m getting very annoyed at that. Blair witch is gay! Just go outside into a lightning storm with a metal suit and scream really loudly ” take me now!”

January 23rd, 2008 at 1:02 am
you have to realize that this movie is more about the human connection and the human interaction than what the monster looked like or that some of you think it’s filmed exactly like the blair witch project (which it’s not–there was no action in the blair witch project. this movie was out of control and the camera work was fantastic.)
this movie is supposed to portray you with these people dealing with the fact that this could be it for your life. your city, your friends, you–could all be gone and you have to decide how you’re going to get out/get through it and if it’s worth risking yourself for someone else. i mean the way marlena connects with hud before she dies; the fact that rob goes back for beth; they defend each other from the smaller monsters; the fact that hud wants to film so people can know how it actually happened; etc. this are people at the height of the intensity when faced with what seems like certain destruction and how they deal with it. amazing film.
January 23rd, 2008 at 6:33 am
I can’t believe that the whole time, one of the posters showed the whole monster on it. It was the poster that shows the city destroyed being reflected. Very clever paramount…..
January 24th, 2008 at 5:55 am
Thank you “A.”, thats what I’ve been tryin’ to tell these people.
January 28th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
The reads like it was written by a middle schooler who didn’t actually see the movie but had it related to them by their friend over the lunch hour game of Magic: the Gathering.
January 30th, 2008 at 1:46 am
Great…great movie…and to top it off, it came out on my Bday! lol. But yeah, the marketing was the best. It got me doing some much research. From the 1-18-08.com, to cloverfieldclues.com, to the jamie and teddy site, and also the TIDOwave, Tagruato, ande Slusho! websites. I believe that J.J. really put some work into this film and he got what he deserved for this film and that is a future classis movie. And to the people that keep talking shit about that “oh it was low budget, i got sick, it was boring, the movie sucked” man have a Coke and a smile and shut up. First of, J.J. wanted the movie to be a First person view so u can get the feeling like “Damn imagine that shit would happen?” He wanted to make think “What if that shit did happen?” Almost as if he put u thru a scary ass ride….A great cinematic adventure ha. It was good that u didn’t even know who these actors were…the only actor that i noticed that she was in another movie, i should say actress, was the girl that played Marlena…She was the Lesbian girl that was in Mean Girls (the one that is friend with the gay guy). Anyways, If you didn’t follow the viral marketing, then the movie might of not been very interesting 4 u…a friend of mine didn’t know about the viral marketing, but still liked it cuz of the camera shots…after he did some research, he fell in love with the movie so much more lol…
The Movie made u think “what would i do if i was in that time of life?” I did. Also i hear people talking about that the ending sucked because it was only Rob and Beth just recording themselves. Hey! Dildos!! If you would of looked closely at the right upper side of the screen, You could see something fall into the ocean, Which is the satellite from the Tagruato Corp. that fell outta orbit (If you kept up with the viral marketing, you know what im talking about)…Anyways, The movie was so great that J.J. is thinking about making a sequel or a prequel to explain things more better on how the monster was buried under the ocean for 1000s of years (J.J. said that the monster’s origin was that he was buried under the ocean for 1000s of years), also on how the different companies that was mentioned in the marketing have to do with the monster, and also about what happen with the monster…but of course all of know that “its still alive” hahaha…..
January 31st, 2008 at 2:53 am
Without the POV, this would have been War of the Worlds. The directing, cinematography, and film editing were superb. VFx were pretty damn good as well. I loved the damn movie, but they never showed the damn credits at our theater. I did see the object fall into the ocean off of Coney Island, but credits? Nada.
January 31st, 2008 at 10:43 am
SHIT, i didn’t see the shot were something falls into the water. Because my brother wanted to go.
SHIT.
but I LOVED THE MOVIE. MY NUMBER 1
February 2nd, 2008 at 9:38 am
I saw every thing. ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!! I think my favorite scene was when marlena exploded in the tent. My friend watched it online and gagged whenhe saw it. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
February 3rd, 2008 at 3:04 pm
i’m getting really angry about this … the only reason why cloverfield is being compared to the blair witch project is because of the camera work! both movies involved personal video devices. so for all the idiots out there who think “how dare they compare cloverfield to blair witch … cloverfield was so much better!” or vice versa … there you go. i solved the mystery for you. oh and might i add … jj is indeed thinking of making a second cloverfield. after the writer’s strike of course. so to all those haters out there … enjoy
February 10th, 2008 at 11:33 am
This is the worst shit I ever seen. You don’t get to know what happend in the end. Nothing, not a shit. Cloverfield 2 someone??
February 12th, 2008 at 7:11 pm

February 21st, 2008 at 6:08 am
You’re not supposed to find out what happened, it was their point of view, not the militaries
March 3rd, 2008 at 6:51 pm
ok… well i doubt theres going to be a sequal because if he recorded it backwards than they want you to bootleg or do some sort of pirating … and for the camera angle for all you people who claimed it sucked because it was too shaky, YOU film it when a monster attacks and YOU complain about how shaky it is … also that stupid poster thing ALL YOU RETARDS OUT THERE WHO TRIED TO FIND ALL THESE THING IN THE POSTERS …. J.J ABRAMS IS ALWAYS GOING TO THROW YOU OFF I BET YOU HE PURPOSELY PUT THOSE LITTLE TURTLE HEAD IN THE CORNER OR WHEN YOU TAKE A SECTION OF THE POSTER AND ADD ON TH SECTION FLIPPED YOU GET A MONSTER HE WANTS TO THROW YOU OFF SO YOURE LIKE “OH MAN HES REALLY CREATIVE I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT” ITS BECAUSE YOU’RE SEEING ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS SO YOU’RE GONNA THINK ITS ONE OF THOSE AND NOT ONE OF YOURS
March 5th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
i saw this movie a couple months ago on opening night and i thought it was great, it was a low-budget film and did great with what little money they had to make it with
March 7th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
absolutly imense film, loved it, i missed the bit after the end credits that pretty much explains what it is and what happens tho!!
March 16th, 2008 at 12:40 am
You guys are so stupid… well some of you… first of all.. this was NOT a low budet film at alll.. secondly he filmed it this way to kind of give you a people point of view… and.. AND!!! to match up to todays society of how we document things on our camera phones and cameras and all that shit….
April 6th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Grayson, on January 18th, 2008 at 9:54 pm Said:
“At the very end theres no scene where something falls out of the sky into the water and the whisper had to be played backwards and it says “It’s still alive””
Sorry, Grayson — not so.
At the end there IS indeed a scene where something falls from the sky. When Rob & Beth are at Coney Island, and you hear her say “Oh — yeah, a little” and then you hear the low battery beeps on the camera he’s holding, look to the water on the right side of the screen, and the object falls from the upper right corner, into the water at the horizon, just to the left and up from the cruise ship.
Also, no, there’s nothing to be played backwards. The last thing spoken after the credits are finished is a male voice saying “Now, what?” (not What, now? as the reviewer mentioned earlier)
Jordan – you were right on the money! Very perceptive.
April 8th, 2008 at 4:34 am
This was one of the best movies i have ever seen!
At the beginning of the film it says something about the footage being found in what used to be central park…. if you can’t figure out how it ended from that then you’re an idiot! Clearly, they all died and the city got trashed!
Also, having the film shot normally would go against the opening statement because it wouldn’t look like footage they found in central park if it was shot professionally would it? So get over the shaky camera angles!
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:44 am
at the end after the credits roll, that male voice does not say “what now” i’ve listened to it 20 times to try and understand it and the closest thing i have heard is “help us” and i’m sure i’m still far from correct. anyone know the real answer?
May 7th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
If you can’t see the object falling from the sky at the end of the movie, you’re going blind…
It says Help us at the end of the credits, but played backwards it’s “It’s still alive”
May 25th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
I’m actually looking forward to the sequel for this.
June 7th, 2008 at 3:16 am
This movie rocks!!!!!
Some keys to getting the most enjoyment from it are…..
1. BIG tv with digital surround system and sub
2. The less you know about it the better (adds to the OH SHIT factor)
3. Be patient while the movie sets up with the lightly amusing yuppy chit chat and character familiarization.
4. Have a change of underwear handy for after the stealth bomber attack.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:52 am
IM GIVING ALOT AWAY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The movie is called cloverfield because the division of the military in the movie was called cloverfield.
The monster was created by project : CLOVERFIELD
They were working on an experiment for a weapon (the monster) to win the war in iraq, which went horribly wrong & attacked us.
Over & over, people say that it’s another terrorist attack,
when it’s our own creation thats doing this.
The movie was a non-offensive salute to 9/11.
Lily is very much alive in the helicopter that said the monster was still alive at the end of the movie, which landed in a field of clovers.
Jason didn’t die, the camera picked up what looked to be his death, if you play it in frame by frame, when he sees the tail, as its right over him, it lands behind him, he jumps forward, the bridge breaks, & he falls in the water.
