    CLOVERFIELD: Anyone see it? Thoughts?

    I saw Cloverfield last night. I liked it a lot. The audio was incredible.

    The only things I didn't like, was that #1, cell phones typically don't work when stuff like this is going down, let alone underground in a subway station, and #2, I would imagine the amount of power still available to the city would have been much more interrupted, plunging the city into a complete black out, save for battery powered auxiliary lights.

    Other than those too things, the movie was quite entertaining, and I am glad it ended the way it did.

    Yes, if you are at all interested in this flick, I would say to definitely see it in the theater. The sound effects and wicked!

    I liked it. See it sooner than later, before someone spoils it for you.
    I liked going in keeping myself in the dark as to what it was and what happens. Too bad my wife had to leave after 20 minutes, she got sick from the jerky camera movements.

    Though I think the city being torn apart by a monster is more remote than cell phones working in a subway.

    Not to spoil anything - but in the last 30 seconds of the film, keep your eyes scanning in the background, it'll explain a few things.

    Yeah, I went into the theater not know a thing about it, other than it was a monster movie. I wasn't exposed to the hype surrounding this film (probably because I don't watch TV), which also made it more surprising.

    You're right Kenny, if you can overlook the monster, you can certainly overlook the cel phones

    I had to see what monster looked like online. Wasnt going to watch it because people up @ work were complaining about camera movement and it mademe think of when i watched "Blair Witch" and how that sorta made me sick but stuck through it and enjoyed it.. Anyways looked up monster hopefully didnt ruin it because after this talk makes me want to go see it again..


    And for the record I dont fall under peer pressure.

    I can definitely say, its not for everyone. If you want a typical Hollywood monster flick with a happy ending, don't see it. But if you want something a little different, and very intense, I would say make sure you go see it in the theater.

    PS - I guess I am one of the lucky ones who doesn't get sick from 1st person shooters and movies like this.

    Veni, Vidi, Uti!

    Monster is awesome - camera jitteryness gave me a headache (just like BWP) and at one point I said "but where's the witch?" but other than that I found it a really unusual and unique offering.
