Directed by Matt Reeves, the guy who directed the new Batman movie. Written by Drew Goddard, the guy who wrote and directed The Cabin in the Woods. This movie is a product of genius.
Fun fact: the soldiers that were attacking cloverfield were actual soldiers from the 9/11 attack. And btw the monster was still a infant and it was attacking out of fear and confusion so everytime they attacked it, the baby cloverfield was more confused and scared
dayum i didnt know nor think they used actual soldiers, let alone 9/11 soldiers, thats cool! especially how cloverfield kinda embodies 9/11 like godzilla 1954 embodies the bombings on Japan
I was in NYC on 9/11, about 2 blocks from the WTC. There were no soldiers there during the attacks. The only military I saw that day were the fighter jets patrolling around Manhattan. The soldiers in this movie were just hired extras. You are right about the creature being an infant, and being scared. JJ Abrams and Matt Reeves wanted it to seem like an elephant in a panic. They also wanted the parasites seem as big a threat as the creature. And if you ask me they succeeded! They show it full grown in the very last scene in Cloverfield Paradox and it's the size of a mountain.
This was such an underrated masterpiece and so ahead of it's time in 2008. The marketing for this movie alone was the most genius thing ever. I wish I could explain it but they basically hid website links throughout the promotional materials and the websites would lead to "government websites" showing a bunch of "evidence" from project Cloverfield. You cutoff look at all the evidence and put it all together that this was going to be an insane monster movie. People got so hyped and then we weren't let down once it did release.
I forgotten the part that the guy was going to Japan. Does anyone else find it funny that the day before a guy goes to Japan, he gets caught up in a Kaiju attack? Plus, can you imagine a Godzilla film done in this style?
I remember seeing this on premier night. The scene where the helicopter crashes and the camera just kinda sits there, everyone in our theater thought that was the end of the movie so I just shout “well that fucking sucks”. The entire theater cracked up, and I felt great about that lol
Fun Fact Primate, towards the end of the credits you hear an audio saying "Help us"; however, when you play it backwards the audio says "It's still alive". Everytime I hear that audio I always get the chills! Don't know if you have seen those V/H/S films, but if you have not, I think you'll be able to enjoy that!
@@blackbirdfilms1966 Thats just JJ being JJ, th fact that the movie is found footage and the beginning of the film showed a warning stating property of the united states goverment, means that someone in the military retrieved the camera and gave it the higher ups. No way they would do that if clover was still alive.
Yea the scene where they are hiding from the dust cloud and there's a guy holding the door shut but letting people in. Straight from 9/11 ground footage.
This is the only film that I went to the movies to see, where I had absolutely no idea what it was or was gonna be about. 2008 was a good year for this to come out. Also, YES to "The Blair Witch Project"
The amount of lore around the movie premiere and after that was huge. After the first teaser trailer and all the clues in it everyone started to look for the meaning behind everything. No one knew if this was a movie or something completely different. People discovered website addresses collecting information from the trailers, which interconnected between each other, more clues as a result of doing research on those sites, "unrelated" RUclips videos that led to more clues about the movie. The marketing was HUGE.
When the first trailer for Cloverfield was released, it was a total surprise. No title or release date was given. It was just footage from the party, the start of the creature's attack, and ending with the shot of the Statue Of Liberty's head crashing down and rolling to a stop. They didn't even show the monster, so no one knew what the "trailer" was or what was going on. The internet was totally abuzz with theories. Was it a Godzilla reboot? A movie about HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu? Some were utterly convinced it was a trailer for a live-action Voltron movie because they had misheard the line "I saw it! It's alive and it's huge!" as "I saw it! It's *A LION* and it's huge!" It turned out to be none of those things, though Godzilla was a clear inspiration.
Watch the timestamps in the corner. It explains the cuts between the recorded videos. Also, at the end, on the farris wheel, you see something hit the water coming from space. You gotta watch this a few times to catch everything
While watching your reaction it occurred to me that anyone younger than Millennials might not understand the quick little flashbacks that happen during the movie or the ending on Coney Island because no one records on video tape anymore. Also, if you look closely during the ending when they're on the ferris wheel and the camera is looking out at the water you'll see something fall into the ocean and make a splash. Presumably that's the monster, or its egg or whatever arriving.
This is one of the best horror I've ever seen. Filmed in the Found-Footage style. The initial construction of the characters and the chaos later, the giant monsters and the fickle cameras looking very real, the destruction, the natural interpretations.
Man I remember the trailer dropped for this during the first Transformers and I was so invested into what exactly I watched. Young RUclips at the time had dozens of theory videos trying to figure the movie out and I was DEEP into it lmao.
Can’t speak for Cloverfield Paradox because I haven’t seen it but 10 Cloverfield Lane is definitely worth checking out. Completely different genre and cinematography. It stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead who you’d like as a Star Wars fan because she’s the real life partner of Ewan McGregor and is part of the main cast of the Ahsoka show
Yeah Cloverfield Paradox ties everything together but you still have to put it all together yourself. Not trying to spoil it, but it's like an Interstellar/Multiverse of Madness type of mind fuck lol. Kind of reminded me of Event Horizon.
i love that you went in knowing nothing hahaha. When this came out, we all saw trailers and knew it was a monster movie. I never even considered what it would be like for someone going in with no info.
After the credits roll, there's garbled audio that says "It's still alive." It's interesting because the message could be played forward or backward, resulting in different messages if memory serves correctly
this movie was indeed scary and had you on the edge of your seat, it's interesting that there was more than one monster, and in the end credits there's a voice saying that it's still alive
This is one of my favorite science fiction disaster movies. I love movies that follow a group of ordinary people who are stuck in the middle of some crazy cataclysmic event. Another great one that I recommend is Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds. It has that same level of realism to it, the panic, the confusion, the fight to survive in an unknown circumstance.
I think I remember at the end when they say they had a good day, something falls in the ocean in the background. Didn't see it in your reaction though.
Something I noticed when I saw this and I'm noticing now... they really wanted to give you a lot of markers of time & place. A lot of clocks and street signs (and subway signs) in the background. They wanted you to be able to trace the journey. Which is clever! But I don't think it really helped the narrative.
Brilliant movie. BTW as far as I know if you catch the it right in the final scene you see the creature crashing to earth when they are on the ferris wheel.. please watch the sequels, cloverfield Lane is awesome, change of genre and awesome tension.
As someone who lived in NYC when it happened.... YES! There once was someone who went around the city (not just in the subway) lighting homeless people on fire. If my memory is right, it was in the late 1990s.
I thought I was dreaming that you'd done this reaction like a week ago. Was going mad wondering if I was seeing things lol. Again, the marketing around this movie was so hype. You had to have lived during that period to understand it. I still remember when the first teaser came out and that meme was born online with people saying that Hud was saying "I saw it. Its a Lion" meme BS. It was funny. You need to see the sequel/spin-offs. 10 Cloverfield Lane is great. And The Cloverfield Paradox sort of ties both films together. Then there's the official sequel that's said to be coming.
You gotta check out 10 Cloverfield lane. It's in the same universe, but a very different style of movie and also explores monster genre from a different perspective of a doomsday prepper and John Goodman gives a great performance
@@chauser400 No. 10 Cloverfield Lane and Cloverfield Paradox are the movies in the same universe. They all take place in different "multiverses" and some of them merged in Paradox. There's a video here in RUclips explaining everything better. It's a great watch if you've got the time.
I straight up *love* this movie but for as many times as I’ve watched it (And it’s been many, *MANY* times!) I’ve never _actually_ sat and thought about how fucking terrifying being in their shoes in this moment would be. It legit gives me chills!! Anyway, like I already said, I *LOVE* this movie. I just think that it’s _sooo_ well done. IMO, they do an _incredible_ job of introducing new dangers at every turn to keep the film from getting stale/repetitive and it works _amazingly_ well. Nowhere near enough reactors check this movie out! So thank you for doing so _and_ for giving us yet another great video!
I remember going to watch this at my local cineworld when it came out, tbh, I think I still might have the ticket stub. It's definitely a nod to the old monster movies of the 50's & 60's, you actually see the monster arrive on Earth, it crashes into the water in the background of the Coney Island flashback/s, so definitely not from Earth. Its been suggested that there's actually 2 of the giant monsters (changes size in some of the wider/long range shots), as well as the smaller ones that got Marlena, which act like parasites that drop off the main monster/s.
After being subscribed to your channel over 2 years now, I’ve realized that you have been living under a rock all your life because HOW?? How bro? Lol 😂 idk how you been walking this earth without watching the best content this planet has for us
The marketing before this movie was absolutely incredible. They ran this amazing ARG campaign across social media, websites, blogs, TV and radio, from the characters themselves, giving them lives in the real world for months and months before the movie came out. There was real internet-detective work required to follow the breadcrumbs and understand it all. I cant recommend looking into the Cloverfield ARG enough. There's some really great videos outlining it all here on RUclips. Before the premiere, nobody really knew what the movie was about, it was so secretive that most people didn't even know it was a monster movie.
Apparently Matt reeves said ultimately the bombs did kill clover but he said what we don't see is that this isn't the only monster that's just a baby and u kisten closely in thr credits u csn hear a soldier come over a walkie talkie saying target is still alive
So the simple explanation that was given for the Monster (Cloverfield) is that it’s a baby who’s lost, irritable, disoriented, and searching for it’s mother.
I love this movie and I think they could've done with showing the monster even less! Just everyone's fear, the military, the sounds, are enough to make it tense.
Didn't realize about the reverse audio, but upon my second watch I did notice the creature crashing down at the end. Def made it make more sense to know kind of where it came from. Very cool flick though.
WACTH THE SEQUEL. This movie;s so awesom and the sequle is too, but be warned, the sequel is SORTA A SEQUEL. I can't say why it's not 100% a sequel, that answer comes in part 3, but there will be a part 4 that's a direct sequel. But be sure to watch pt 2 -- 10 CLOVERFILED LANE. I know you'll love it because you think like I do about the first one -- your main thought being during the miltary battle scene "Could you imagine being in the middle of this?" That's exactly what I thought. P.S. You'll also love The Blair Witch Project, top 5 scariest movies of all time for ANYONE WITH AN IMMAGINATION (it's sorta like the Shinning)
I love the Monsterverse, don't get me wrong. All the films to me have been great fun, especially KOTM, but I do kind of want a movie in that universe done in this style. A film where none of the big government players are our focus, or military people. Just people living in a city that happens to be where Godzilla fights another monster. Make it a really nasty all night type of fight, but we only get glimpses while the people are just trying to survive. Some may get bored of that, but me personally? I'd love it! People doing whatever then like a horror film, an Emergency broadcast tells people to get to shelters or escape is viable as Titans are approaching. They try to escape, but one of the monsters, I'm thinking not Godzilla appears and causes all kinds of havoc. Nearly kills the people we're following when the G man comes in and ROCKS the other monster's shit. Allowing the people to escape. Watching them beat the crap out of each other. You can even do the military, coming in and bombing the shit out of either one or both (for the Monsterverse it'd make more sense they just attack the other monster, but I digress). Anyways, I'm rambling, lol.
this isnt cloverfield. i remember this movie being about a haunted hospital or some sht. and i also remember this movie about a virus and these people who hide in another hospital i forgot
@@ItsAPrimatee don’t watch quarantine watch Rec. it’s the original and miles better, quarantine is the American version of Rec. Which is originally a Spanish film.
3:45 she played in mean girls as Janis. they have another cloverfield movie they made after years later. can you please react to the movie called The Crow with Brandon Lee in it, Bruce Lee's son. sadly he died in real life on set i believe. it's a really good movie though. you would like it. it's one of my favorite movies and just so different to the movies today, especially since it's back in the 80's.
Did you not realise that the "flash backs" was what was on the tape and they had filmed over it. But little bits remained ie when you press record the film moved a little forward before it actually recorded. If that makes sense.
1.18.08 Cloverfield had some of the BEST marketing for a movie ever! Look up the original teaser. NO ONE knew what the hell this was or was going to be. It was a really fun time! ruclips.net/video/IqQzvfn_s30/видео.html
This movie got me into found footage. I loved it so much, and still do! Also hell yeah, I’ll check your reaction to Blair Witch Project too, great one too!
Random question: what's the best headphones for people with glasses? Is the one you're wearing comfy? I always have problems when using headphones while using glasses, painfull earlobes
Great reaction Primate, there are still two more Cloverfield movies and i’m pretty sure more is coming, i definetly recommend you checking those out! They are all great in their own ways! :)

Directed by Matt Reeves, the guy who directed the new Batman movie. Written by Drew Goddard, the guy who wrote and directed The Cabin in the Woods. This movie is a product of genius.
Not to mention produced by JJ Abrams. I think "Cloverfield" was actually the name of the street where Abrams' LA office is located.
Drew Goddard only directed Cabin in the woods.
Joss Wedon(Buffy the vampire slayer, Firefly, The Avengers, Age of Ultron) wrote it
I didn’t know that Matt reeves directed the Batman movie
Fun fact: the soldiers that were attacking cloverfield were actual soldiers from the 9/11 attack. And btw the monster was still a infant and it was attacking out of fear and confusion so everytime they attacked it, the baby cloverfield was more confused and scared

Well the one in cloverfield was just a baby the one u see in paradox was a fully grown one cause jj said there was more then one monster

At 26:51 if you look right above the "I" in REACTION. You can see the creature splash down into the ocean in the flashback scene.

The way they used recognizable 9/11 imagery to evoke the same fear always amazed me!

Cloverfield (2008) & Chronicle (2012) are the two best Found Footage Films hands down.
14:55 "Oh my gosh!" 😆
i think that qualifies for a full "Oh my god!" 😮
i saw this got taken down rip glad you found a way to reupload it
26:33 I'm guessing they nuked it 2 times
Check out some of Paul Greengrass films! Most of his movies have shaky cam, maybe not found footage style, but still effective as hell!
WOW you finally did it bruh Cloverfield came out 15 years ago it's crazy great reaction i hope you react to the other 2 films as well.
Thanks!
11:42 "Oh no. What in the what!!?" 🤣
part 2
The dharma logo from LOST appears in the first few seconds of this movie. Being a huge fan of that show I went crazy when I saw that the first time.
8:57 "What in the what!?" 😆
I mean guys Obviously our baby boi Clover heard Hudd talkin' all that shit in the Heli and he simply asked him "Ayo you talkin' shit?"
here's a comment for the algorithm!
sorry for the take down...
I love the Monsterverse, don't get me wrong. All the films to me have been great fun, especially KOTM, but I do kind of want a movie in that universe done in this style. A film where none of the big government players are our focus, or military people. Just people living in a city that happens to be where Godzilla fights another monster. Make it a really nasty all night type of fight, but we only get glimpses while the people are just trying to survive. Some may get bored of that, but me personally? I'd love it!
People doing whatever then like a horror film, an Emergency broadcast tells people to get to shelters or escape is viable as Titans are approaching. They try to escape, but one of the monsters, I'm thinking not Godzilla appears and causes all kinds of havoc. Nearly kills the people we're following when the G man comes in and ROCKS the other monster's shit. Allowing the people to escape. Watching them beat the crap out of each other. You can even do the military, coming in and bombing the shit out of either one or both (for the Monsterverse it'd make more sense they just attack the other monster, but I digress).
Anyways, I'm rambling, lol.
Came on to watch the upload, and saw that you re-uploaded it.
Did you catch the alien coming to Earth on the comet in the background when he was filming Beth on the ferris wheel at the end?
Missed it!
this isnt cloverfield. i remember this movie being about a haunted hospital or some sht. and i also remember this movie about a virus and these people who hide in another hospital i forgot
I know this was 1 year ago but in the end of the credits theres a voice that needed to be reversed and in reversed it says its still alive.
I love the original Blair Witch Project. Would love to see your reaction to that at some point
Watch it before the RUclips gods copyright striked
14:56 Bro, this moment and the entire video..... chef's kiss of all your videos! Love your channel!!!!
Have you seen “The Mist” or “Quarantine “ yet? Both are next level.
I haven’t!
@@ItsAPrimatee i've seen The Mist. you'd really like it.
@@ItsAPrimatee don’t watch quarantine watch Rec. it’s the original and miles better, quarantine is the American version of Rec. Which is originally a Spanish film.
I loved quarantine
3:45 she played in mean girls as Janis. they have another cloverfield movie they made after years later. can you please react to the movie called The Crow with Brandon Lee in it, Bruce Lee's son. sadly he died in real life on set i believe. it's a really good movie though. you would like it. it's one of my favorite movies and just so different to the movies today, especially since it's back in the 80's.
Camera stuff - "Quarantine"
It's a horror and thriller movie
Sweet! I never thought you'd check this movie out! Glad you did! I thought the movie was enjoyable!
You know this is serious when the cameraman dies
24:35 😮
classic primate 🤣🤣
Saw this in theaters when I was 18
You should definitely react to 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Did you not realise that the "flash backs" was what was on the tape and they had filmed over it. But little bits remained ie when you press record the film moved a little forward before it actually recorded. If that makes sense.
This is part of a trilogy! Highly recommend Cloverfield Lane & Cloverfield Paradox!

Cloverfield had some of the BEST marketing for a movie ever! Look up the original teaser. NO ONE knew what the hell this was or was going to be. It was a really fun time!

This movie got me into found footage. I loved it so much, and still do!
Also hell yeah, I’ll check your reaction to Blair Witch Project too, great one too!
yes u are crazy if u remember watching it when Primate 1st uploaded it a while ago and ask AFTER you watched the re-uploaded was it re-uploaded.
The Man In The Iron Mask is a recommendation for a movie to be watched. Leonardo DiCaprio is in it.
There's also 10 cloverfield Lane and cloverfield paladox
Random question: what's the best headphones for people with glasses? Is the one you're wearing comfy? I always have problems when using headphones while using glasses, painfull earlobes
Not sure tbh, these are all right but I only use them for the movie reactions and they tend to hurt after 2 hours
Best found footage movie imo if called "afflicted"
Great reaction Primate, there are still two more Cloverfield movies and i’m pretty sure more is coming, i definetly recommend you checking those out! They are all great in their own ways! :)
Thanks!
