00:56, at first, I thought it involved a woman, her boyfriend and her father trying to survive an alien invasion, but turns out it was much darker than I thought.
@Anthony Clark I have to sadly agree with your thoughts. Despite not delving that deep into the clover universe, I've genuinely enjoyed Cloverfield and its franchises. And the fact that the movie has left out so much potential makes me sad. *insert sad noises to illustrate my sadness*
Basically the subtle relationship dynamic that was awesomely portrayed in the film by the actors subtle body language it’s a really great way of showing the viewer instead of telling the biewer
I grew up during a time when John Goodman was thought of as America's favorite dad. Seeing him portray such a menacing character was brilliant. He's really an incredible actor.
I honestly feel like John Goodman is one of the greatest actors of all time, the man sells every roll with such intensity, he transforms completely and he's so believable. I love him!!
@@mattsen4297 yeah it was sorta silly. Although I really enjoyed the idea of the earth having a resource war and making a big ass particle accelerator in space to harness energy and it goes wrong and transports them into a alt dimension. It could have been executed alot better but regardless it was super interesting. Just wish it was done better.
I saw this when it came out in the theater. Goodman was great in this role. Instead of things being one thing or another, most often life is a mixture of many things. This guy WAS a psycho, but the invasion was ALSO true. I liked that. 👍
Crazy how well John Goodman was in this movie. He can get absolutely terrifying, and in my opinion he absolutely carried the hell out of this movie. If there is one thing I will always remember from this movie, it’s his incredible performance. Wish I saw him in more movies.
dude you know what’s hella funny; that’s supposedly what happened with the cloverfeild paradox. Literally was whole ass other movie with a different name then shifted gears completely to tie in with the franchise. at least that’s what i’ve heard.
Apparently it did. The movie was finished for over 2 years and shelved. They decided to tie it into Cloverfield so they did reshoots, two years later, for the ending.
I remember seeing the teaser trailer to this movie while my dad and I went to go see JURASSIC WORLD, and my jaw dropped when the trailer revealed a new Cloverfield movie, and I said, "Finally! About frickin time!" Lol! Then we watched the same trailer in December while my parents and I went to go see Bridge Of Spies by Steven Spielberg.
This movie really shines as to how difficult it is trust when you can't really pin point the motives even if they help you. A very good story writing imo and it kept my attention to the story almost on every minute of it because you feel like anything can go wrong any second in the story.
So JJ uses the cloverfield title to sell movies that he doesn't want to pay to advertise. The Cloverfield Effect and 10 Cloverfield Lane were not written or shot as sequels, JJ became a producer on movies that hadn't been picked up and added some loose threads to link his monster into these films. "Overlord" was originally shot and written as a Cloverfield movie then references were removed later on. So they will never make more Cloverfield movies, but JJ might make someone else's movie a Cloverfield movie again someday.
I like to think that the events in cloverfield paradox causes the events of cloverfield and 10 cloverfield lane. They merged multiple realities together
@@whitephillip6997 kinda, cloverfield paradox event caused the two other events , so 3 different earths, 3 different events all caused from the god particle being turned on, the monster you see in paradox is the same monster from cloverfield.
I will say, foundflix made a good point. The movie is like a metaphor for an abusive relationship. You have the main character escaping one relationship into another. She’s made to believe everyone is dead and not coming for her. When she escapes at the end, it was to demonstrate. Despite escaping it’s not an easy to overcome things once leaving.
@@guisteh11 Neither, humans are just humans. WE assign values to what we interpret with our senses, purely in relation to our individual goals. He was right, if he left her on the surface she would be dead, period. But her goal was to escape, thus he is categorized as evil.
@@soul1d which to be clear, John's actions are correct in this situation. If you have a shelter, and you bring someone into it, amd they keep trying to run and that would crush your shelter, the only assured means of survival, Michelle is literally the worst person, to ever want to save. She literally cannot grasp, outside very bad. Outside, is death.
@@caiusmadison2996she’s the worst?? It’s not about sheltering people for Howard, it’s about his Daughter/Family complex, and outside ≠ death, only when the alien things were around, he made it out as if every particle of air was poison.
Im 2 months late to this, but when Emmet mentions the red flash before everything went to hell, The Particle Accelerator in Paradox flashes a light red before teleporting to an alternate universe.
My theory is that the clover kaijus are like tanks for the invasion. Dropped off to wreak havoc and draw military responses to the largest cities. The rest of tge alien invasion is there to mop up surroundings the kaiju wouldnt even notice in an efficient manner. The paradox film jist forced the alien invasion to happen sooner tgan it should have happened in cloverfield and lane's universe.
@@julianmcmillan2867 we dont know the m3chaniam for the invasion. You going to spend tons of fuel transpoeting something that big across the cosmos? Or send an embryo and microcosm capable of letting it grow over time?
@@shadowhenge7118 Okay, but didn't Paradox establish that two different realities were created? One in which there's the invasion, and the other in which the Cloverfield monster wakes up due to excessive drilling operations? As far as I know, the Cloverfield movie and Lane take place in different universes, not the same universe.
this was a very gripping movie. I would love to see its sequel showing the girl heading to Huston. my only criticism is that Michelle overcame the Alien and the spaceship too easily. also its a shame that the underground bunker was destroyed which could've served as s safe house
Very nice and very plausible explanation. Thanks for your hard work and entertaining content. That movie was good but so confused how it tied in thanks.
Goodman was just spectacular in this. I was just thinking about how I loved Mad Max Fury Road and Star Wars Rouge One in ‘16 and completely forgot about this gem.
This movie helped set up a franchise/universe.. as she went off to join the armed Resistance. It'd be interesting to see these movies all connected an how they make it all make sense. If they keep with the Theme they can bring in many new people an storylines as desired provided they keep the theme they've ran several movies with now an they make it all make sense.
I love this movie it's so well done you are thrown in so many different directions only to finally realize that not only was Howard correct but he was also a psychopath and you are stuck in the middle.
Good review!!! Liked this movie a lot when I first saw it in the theater. Liked "Cloverfield" a lot as well, though couple characters are annoying. Never seen the 2nd movie to this franchise. Also, believe "Overlord" is supposed to be part of this franchise, depending on sources. "Overlord" is awesome WWII action suddenly taking a dark turn, which would probably make for a good review as well.
Yes it does make for a great review! Here's one I made earlier lol - OVERLORD (Zombies and Wolfenstein Vibes) EXPLORED ruclips.net/video/EC8-LxlXukk/видео.html
Overlord was pretty campy i would have loved the film more if the ending wasnt so marvel-esk. It went from a compelling zombie action horror in ww2 to captain america the first avenger lol
Love your channel and videos, a few nights a week I'll throw on a playlist to crash out to and end up having to turn it off because i watch all the vids and won't sleep lol
Did the movie ever explain why John Goodman's character left the Navy after 14 years? I figured after 14 years of service most people would tough it out for six more years to retire with pension and full benefits. Did he leave the Navy to start building his shelter?
Occasionally service members aren't eligible for promotion and may leave the service because of that. They may also decide that further service just isn't worth the benefits.
There were a number of fake websites on the internet that gave clues about how things tie together. I’m pretty sure Goodman’s character was an employee of one of the corporations and he turned paranoid after learning things they were up to. As I recall. I don’t know if those sites are still up.
That's what you'd think, but anything with J.J. Abraham's is terribly disconnected and thus we always get an extremely predictable, watered down product by movie 3.
It's best that you go into this movie not thinking it's a direct sequel to Cloverfield. And I think that's what through a lot of people off when they seen this movie, they thought it was direct sequel to that movie. Loved John Goodman performance in this movie. And Elizabeth is also easy on the eyes.
I do agree, but it's absolutely ridiculous considering it was titled and advertised as sequel, if not a direct one. The title alone was why a large portion of the viewers watched it. I went in blind but since I'd already seen Cloverfield, I was aware of the connection, and I disliked the movie because of it.
@@Hawk7886 there's an actual sequel that matt reeves directors of the recent batman and original Cloverfield and J.J Abrams the producer of the original are making a more direct sequel to it now
I was a bit disappointed myself it not being a direct sequel at the time. But thankfully JG’s performance and Elizabeth being a qt and the movie as a whole was pretty enjoyable and well done, it made up for it for me.
As much as I would’ve loved to see District 9 as Sharlto Copley did an amazing job in that film. This film and the Clover Field universe in general is one that is both shrouded in mystery and horror. To which we can only hope more movies based around can dig deeper and further into the universe that is Cloverfield.
The other Cloverfield movies made me roll my eyes. This one was a roller coaster. A few times I was like "ugh, get to the point, this is just weird and cringey and predictable." But then there was the twist. Damn. It was intense. And I really enjoy the vagueness of the ending. That is what makes it so terrifying.
5:28 "...there's going to be a huge attack by either Russians or Martians..." 😮 14:24 "...people are strange creatures..." 😃 18:51 "...the ugliness of his soul..." ☻️ 21:41 "...undisturbed Clover Monster on the sea floor..." ☻️ Thanks Niad 👍
This film was FANTASTIC. Well written and perfectly acted. Biggest probelm? The twist of the film is ruined by the title. Just hearing Cloverfield in the title means this film exists in the same universe as gigantic undersea monsters so as soon as aliens are mentioned it's pretty clear there's aliens. If this film had just been called The Cellar as originally planned and the Cloverfield references were just tiny Easter eggs for eagle eyed fans then this film would have been so much more enjoyable in theaters.
I absolutely loved the this and the first movie. Something about the mysterious circumstances that is thought provoking for me, much like Tenet and Inception do for me. It's a shame Paradox fell short, imo. But I still enjoyed it and look forward to the continuity of this franchise. BTW, anyone else remember when Overlord was rumored to be part of the Cloverfield universe before it released?
So what happens is JJ Abrams will buy a movie that hasn't released because no streaming service wants it, he'll add some reshoots to link it to his Cloverfield mystery box, and then sell it as a shared universe. But like Lost there is no answer, no head writer with an ending in mind, no actual payoff. It's just about getting the audience to ask "what is the connection" and speculate like this online to keep the keyword "Cloverfield" top of the search metrics. An Ingenious marketing scheme that leads to cinematic disappointment.
I think this is as close as we are going to get to the half life movies. You have a potentially other dimensional mega civilisation invading dimensions that become known to it through dimensional rifts like the cloverfield paradox, a half life dropship looking thing using synthetic yet organic beasts to hunt humans and a resistance movement fighting back.
There is no explaining the Cloverfield series. They're a bunch of movies that initially have nothing to do with each other, until JJ Abrams comes along and modifies the script to make them seem vaguely connected. He makes it up as he goes along, because (just like his Star Wars sequels) he doesn't actually know how to tell a story that's original, and all of his movies have things in them that contradicts something in a previous movie. This movie could have been way better if JJ Abrams kept his hands off it.
Way I view it ,is the Kaiju seen in cloverfield is a lost infant,(lost for many thousands years,time that be nothing to such aliens)and the advanced Kaiju in 10 lane are it's parents that have come looking for the Infant,they see humans as vermin that have harmed or killed it's child,so filling the earth city centre's with there version of insecticide,much like how we do with wasp nests.
There is actually another movie in the Cloverfield Universe that most people aren't aware of, and that movie is "Overlord." Just as the other Cloverfield movies taking place in an alternative reality, so also does the movie "Overlord" take place in an alternative reality of WW2, where US Army soldiers are dropped off in France to destroy a German target to allow for an invasion, but in the process discover a scientific lab where German scientists are experimenting on a drug that they think will win them the war. The movie is part WW2 movie & Horror, and its a great movie, imho. It gets kinda dark but its damn cool. I highly recommend the movie "Overlord." It also stars Kurt Russel's son and a bunch of actors who do a fantastic job. Please give it a watch. Also, the movie isn't an obvious tie in to the Cloverfield Universe as it doesn't contain any references to any of the other movies whatsoever. The reason we know its connected because Bad Robot who made the Cloverfield movies mentioned that its loosely tied, but that it is tied to it, just in a very loose way, in that it too is set in an alternative reality. The people who made it said it was tied to the universe. Its just not obvious. But again, its a great movie.
What if the aliens were attracted by the Cloverfield experiment and came to eradicate humans knowing we were dealing with something we didn't know how to control, and that could cause the universe to collapse aswell as any other universe that was associated with the experiment

Thanks Niad 👍
The palpable tension in this movie made it a standout
Seriously the best explained story and thesis of any movie that I've ever heard. Impressive and well done
I love this movie. I love all of the Cloverfield movies. I hope they'll continue to expand the franchise.
I AM ALWAYS WATCHING...... FilmComicsExplained!
This film was FANTASTIC. Well written and perfectly acted. Biggest probelm? The twist of the film is ruined by the title. Just hearing Cloverfield in the title means this film exists in the same universe as gigantic undersea monsters so as soon as aliens are mentioned it's pretty clear there's aliens. If this film had just been called The Cellar as originally planned and the Cloverfield references were just tiny Easter eggs for eagle eyed fans then this film would have been so much more enjoyable in theaters.
I absolutely loved the this and the first movie. Something about the mysterious circumstances that is thought provoking for me, much like Tenet and Inception do for me. It's a shame Paradox fell short, imo. But I still enjoyed it and look forward to the continuity of this franchise. BTW, anyone else remember when Overlord was rumored to be part of the Cloverfield universe before it released?
So what happens is JJ Abrams will buy a movie that hasn't released because no streaming service wants it, he'll add some reshoots to link it to his Cloverfield mystery box, and then sell it as a shared universe. But like Lost there is no answer, no head writer with an ending in mind, no actual payoff. It's just about getting the audience to ask "what is the connection" and speculate like this online to keep the keyword "Cloverfield" top of the search metrics. An Ingenious marketing scheme that leads to cinematic disappointment.
I think this is as close as we are going to get to the half life movies. You have a potentially other dimensional mega civilisation invading dimensions that become known to it through dimensional rifts like the cloverfield paradox, a half life dropship looking thing using synthetic yet organic beasts to hunt humans and a resistance movement fighting back.
Goodman was so good in this movie. Really showed his range as an actor
2:06 that was a picture of Bradley Cooper in a cameo.
Thats not Bradley Cooper
It wasnt but the phone call was supposedly him, just his voice we never see him
Awesome review of this movie.
Thanks Damian!
@@filmcomicsexplained don’t mention it !
Never knew they were related but loved the setting so much, lots of twists and turns.
1 of the best sequels of all time, one of the best movies of the mid 2010’s.
lmao
Bravo, Bravo 🎉 fantastic work.
This was always one of my FAVORITE movies 🎥 great acting amazing storyline 👌
This movie was so good even tho a lot of people didn’t think so
My year 10 “treat” was to watch this at the cinema, it was a good day and I hadn’t seen it til now :))
My theory of the aliens are that they are the worms from The Cloverfield Paradox.
Also I like the Jay-Z reference the narrator made.
This is like the bad ending for Z is for Zachariah. I loved it and am glad my vote counts somewhere.
There is no explaining the Cloverfield series. They're a bunch of movies that initially have nothing to do with each other, until JJ Abrams comes along and modifies the script to make them seem vaguely connected. He makes it up as he goes along, because (just like his Star Wars sequels) he doesn't actually know how to tell a story that's original, and all of his movies have things in them that contradicts something in a previous movie.
This movie could have been way better if JJ Abrams kept his hands off it.
Do the part 2 of justice league
its cool that the twist is that the crazy person was actually right this time.
Way I view it ,is the Kaiju seen in cloverfield is a lost infant,(lost for many thousands years,time that be nothing to such aliens)and the advanced Kaiju in 10 lane are it's parents that have come looking for the Infant,they see humans as vermin that have harmed or killed it's child,so filling the earth city centre's with there version of insecticide,much like how we do with wasp nests.
Great acting on display from all involved.
Most underrated movie of all time
There is actually another movie in the Cloverfield Universe that most people aren't aware of, and that movie is "Overlord." Just as the other Cloverfield movies taking place in an alternative reality, so also does the movie "Overlord" take place in an alternative reality of WW2, where US Army soldiers are dropped off in France to destroy a German target to allow for an invasion, but in the process discover a scientific lab where German scientists are experimenting on a drug that they think will win them the war. The movie is part WW2 movie & Horror, and its a great movie, imho. It gets kinda dark but its damn cool. I highly recommend the movie "Overlord." It also stars Kurt Russel's son and a bunch of actors who do a fantastic job. Please give it a watch.
Also, the movie isn't an obvious tie in to the Cloverfield Universe as it doesn't contain any references to any of the other movies whatsoever. The reason we know its connected because Bad Robot who made the Cloverfield movies mentioned that its loosely tied, but that it is tied to it, just in a very loose way, in that it too is set in an alternative reality. The people who made it said it was tied to the universe. Its just not obvious. But again, its a great movie.
I finally saw overlord 2 months ago man it was great
"Mystery Bawks"
What if the aliens were attracted by the Cloverfield experiment and came to eradicate humans knowing we were dealing with something we didn't know how to control, and that could cause the universe to collapse aswell as any other universe that was associated with the experiment
Literally finished this and watched the movie with the family
i literally watched this move for the first time two hours ago and now this
I went to school with John Gallagher's sister. The only connection I have to a famous person lol
This is awesome!
I don't think anyone could have done this roll wonders like John Goodman did
Underrated film 100%
There's no way the "I'm always watching." Wasn't a monster's inc reference.
Film comics events I like you take a look at an examine and the view and analyze eclipso from DC comics will you do that please 🥺
Sure!
I had no clue this was going to be as good as it is.
Goodman had a rug in that bunker that really tied the room together
Thanks for this 👍I love this movie, and Goodman is just perfect
The best of the series, really liked it.
