Author Topic: Cloverfield (2008) Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-01-2008 07:01 PM                        First of all I haven't even seen the movie. Secondly if they were recording to a RAMDISK, then how would they be able to record over old footage?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-01-2008 08:01 PM                     Joe, The movie is about 30 days into the future from today... you'll be able to do that by then, remember, technlogy advances really fast . Better go see the movie...  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-01-2008 08:04 PM                        I'll wait for the home video k thanx.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-02-2008 10:18 AM                     quote: Joe Redifer I'll wait for the home video k thanx. Afraid of throwing up from seeing it on the big screen ha??? Well, I will admit that the third installment of Bourne Ultimatium was better on the smaller screen .  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-02-2008 12:26 PM                     Saw it last week and thought it was pretty good for what it was. Will definately get on DVD as there is no point in getting this one in either of the next generation formats. Of course there are already talks of a sequel. Best site I found for answers to the movie including what fell into the water in the Coney Island scene (and no it was not the monster or an egg). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/faq  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-02-2008 01:46 PM                     Wasn't it shot in HD?  |  IP: Logged Thomas Pitt Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: May 2007 posted 02-02-2008 03:13 PM                     I would have enjoyed this much more if the camera wasn't so shaky! I mean, even MY home movies are less shaky than this! The premise was similar to Blair Witch - i.e. someone's tape is found, and that should have justified the use of the shaky-cam effect. However, the effect just doesn't work on such a large screen. After 20 minutes, I had to walk out of the auditorium before I threw up I was expecting something along the lines of Bourne Ultimatum's shaky cam (which I just managed to tolerate), but this was just too much. Perhaps it was the fact that I couldn't get any further away from the giant screen in this cinema... I think I'll wait until it comes on TV, or rental DVD - in my opinion movies like this are best suited to the small screen. The visual and audio effects in the part of the movie I saw were really good though!  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-04-2008 01:34 AM                        By gawd, I wanna see this converted to the IMAX screen!! The theatre will have those airplane barf bags attached to all the seat backs. It will be, watch the movie, lean foward, puke....sit up, watch the movie, lean forward, puke....sit up, watch the movie, lean forward, puke.....repeat for 2 hours.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-04-2008 02:05 AM                        Nothing says "we love our customers" like making them throw up. Barfing is pleasant and FUN! Wheeee!!!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-04-2008 08:14 AM                     Didn't bother me even a tiny bit......  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 02-04-2008 08:50 PM                     It didn't bother me either, I think people for sure are making a bigger deal about this then it really is. 1 out of maybe every 100 people seeing this are going to be affected.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 02-08-2008 09:28 AM                        I'd be surprised if it was that high (1%) ... that being said, I've never been affected by this. **spoilers - or possible spoilers below** quote: Michael Gonzalez what fell into the water in the Coney Island scene (and no it was not the monster or an egg) I've gotta give a "bah" to that, all the trivia on IMDb and other sites is way too ambiguous to say definitively that it was or wasn't the monster. ...not to mention that it's just a website, nothing official! However, interesting to note, the title for the Polish release is "Projekt: Monster" which seems to be less on the lines of an alien - unless of course it was other aliens that began the project.  |  IP: Logged Brad Allen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 688 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 02-08-2008 03:59 PM                     Godzilla on cgi steriods. 0.5 out of 5 stars.  |  IP: Logged Danial Simmonds Expert Film Handler Posts: 107 From: Kota Damansara, Selangor, Malaysia Registered: Jan 2008 posted 02-12-2008 05:06 AM                        Cloverfield a total spoiler! Eventhough prople want to watch the movie, well it has great action but the handy cam style of the movie has made a lot of people vomitted , fainted and also passed out in the cinema what a great tragic for this movie...  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 02-12-2008 07:18 AM                     SPOILER!!!!!!!! Actually Jermey it was the monster that fell, on Aintitcool.com or comingsoon.net they had an interview with the director and he said that that is indeed what it was in the final shot.  |  IP: Logged
