    Just to clarify, Its not the clover falling from the sky but a satellite at the end of the movie. This was confirmed by Abrams. Hopefully the God particle, which is set in space will tie the anthology series together nicely! Happy New Year guys :)

      ken white I remember going to see Transformers and seeing the teaser beforehand. Just had a date at the end of the teaser. In the UK it came out a few weeks after the US release, and pictures of the monster were online. Sadly took the edge off a little for me after the build up. I've still got the DVD steel book edition. Gonna watch it with my son when he's old enough!

      andy howard I was in a similar experience I was preparing for deployment and a couple of friends and I went to see transformers. The trailer starts with what seems to be a simple party. And explosion happens and people rush outside. Instantly I think that this has to be a movie about terrorism or something along those lines. Then you see the Statue of Liberty’s head Fly around the corner like a perfect major-league baseball curveball and land at the feet of this group of people. I was not prepared and was completely thrown off! I was so excited I could not move! Then as the screen faded to black all that was written in bold was 1-18-08. I don’t think I will ever forget that day my boys and I talked about that more than the Transformers movie!

And the viral marketing mentioned was a massivly multiplayer ARG with multiple factions that may still be being played by some of its Biggest players. Infiltration of Tido wave was no small feet.

    All in all, Clover was an innocent animal, an infant scared and aggravated by an equally scared race. Like us, it didnt understand what was happening around it, clearly not showing any evil intent, just it's own safety. Call it a monster all you want, but it is merely another lifeform following the mere steps an animal would take if it were cornered.

      I agree, it would have been interesting if the filmmakers went down a different route, and made the audience sympathetic to the clover.

      Jurassic Gamer How was the animal acting out of fear? If your afriad of something, you would want to get as far away from the thing as possible. Why didn't the creature retreat deeper into the ocean? If it was so afraid of us, why would it literally charge head-first into one of the most densly populated areas occupied by us?

    3 years late, but I friggin love this film. The trilogy so far, Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Cloverfield Paradox are all amazing. The first film really shows you how it happened, and the second showed the reaction of people who barely knew anything. The last one is my favourite though. It shows how the scientists at the space station caused it, merging dimensions which caused the monsters to appear. The plot line is amazing, and I can’t wait for another film in the series.

  • @kenwhite4098
    @kenwhite4098 6 лет назад +164

    Clover field is one of my favorite movies ever. When I put myself in the shoes of one of the Characters I imagine it being a horrifying experience. Yet it’s about as realistic as something like that could be which makes it that much scarier! It’s simply the best in my opinion.

    • @Freelancer837
      @Freelancer837 6 лет назад +8

      That's the thing, this is a realistic case of a monster on the scale of Clover attacking, bu the characters do some stupid things, just for plot reasons. Like how Hudson is never able to hold the camera still enough to focus on the monster, but the one time he does is the only time he's within dangerous vicinity of the monster and gets eaten. Or how a digital camera has pieces of of previous tapes cutting in and out, as if it was a VHS recording. Don't get me wrong though, I do love this movie.

    • @kenwhite4098
      @kenwhite4098 6 лет назад +5

      Freelancer837 I didn’t even think about the fact that the camera was digital. I thought it was just one of those small cameras that still used tape. But in all honesty I think that the shakiness of the camera is exactly what I needed to stay into the movie. There is no way anyone would be able to hold the camera steady in that situation. Fear would cause you to shake, Nerves would cause you to shake, movement would cause you to shake, the shear stress of the entire situation would have you completely on edge! The final scene was a little conveniently steady which was inconsistent with the rest of the film but I really wanted a clear shot anyway so I was willing to except. Also I found a lot of things they did fairly acceptable depending on The situation. My best friend thinks that it’s incredibly stupid and a fools errand to go look for a loved one in a building across town during a monster attack. He would assume her death and decide to just give her a nice memorial or something. I am of the opinion that if you are in love with this person you should do what you can to save their life. The movie was just so much fun to me.

    • @Freelancer837
      @Freelancer837 6 лет назад +6

      Yeah, that is correct that it's not surprising it was completely shaky when a lot of the time they were running and terrified of what was going on. I mean I physically can't hold a camera steady on a regular day so I can't complain. And I can always get over a character doing something stupid in a horror movie (unless it's something over the top, like dropping your weapon after using it once, or tripping over nothing, etc.) but in a scary moment in this kind of film, you have only just a moment to make a decision, and with all the fear you have, that could easily cause you to make irrational decisions.

If I happen to get it on camera in the first minute then woo other than that it gets dropped and left. If you think about it this movie provoked people filming what goes on instead of helping

It also caused the aliens in 10 Cloverfield Lane to show up in our dimension as well.

    First, I loved 'Cloverfield'. It was a great revisit of 'Godzilla', but from a more contemporary 9/11 found footage hand held perspective of people on the NYC streets. And the monster design was totally off the wall.
    I hated how people then wanted explanations of where it came from. I preferred the original feel of it just being totally random. And it doesn't matter what Jar Jar Abrams said, unless that manifests itself in other films, which it never did.
    '10 Cloverfield Lane' and 'Cloverfield Paradox' ('God Particle') were really just their own movies with some Cloverfield-ish stuff tacked on at the end. They were both kind of OK, but stuffing them into another franchise's canon is just a money grab.

    Have to disagree with comments about shaky camera work. Personally thought it worked brilliantly and helped to stoke the idea that I was there. Love Cloverfield and as a lifelong fan of monster movies I would rank this as one of the all time best. Kudos to everyone involved.

    The one problem I have with this movie is bombs dropped from an aircraft and missles fired from rocket launchers have no effect on a creature made of flesh

    My favorite part is when the Statue of Liberty's head comes rolling down the street like the world's biggest bowling ball.

    Idk why, but these creatures make me think of the monsters in the game Gears of war.

    I freaking love this movie, the first person perspective with the camera in hand was just a feature to make it even more realistic, Id just wish if it could have had More!!

    The whole “Extended film universe” idea pretty much every company is using after marvels success, has ruined cloverfield.

    And thus began the 2000's cliche of hunched over monsters with double jointed super long arms.

    I thought the camera work was one of the film's best features. It makes it seem more real.
