[Movie] Best Shots at What The Cloverfield Monster Looks Like?
- Thread starter Polygon
- Start date
So its a 'buddy movie"?I assume that this movie was the follow-up to 'World Trade Center'. Osama Bin Ladin unleashes his next terrorist attack on New York. But this time he first befriends a monster
I haven't seen it, but do they ever explain why they can't just drop a 2,000 lb. bunker buster on the thing's head?
I'm kind of dissapointed by that picture, they hyped the mystery of the thing up so much, and it looks so generic.
Guess I'll just have to wait for At the Mountains of Madness.

Do Not See This Film. It Sucked Major ***.

One of the most retarded P.O.S. films I have seen in awhile. Stupid whining characters, stupid plot (which did not even exist), and an even more stupid monster.
SPOILER
The creature has hind legs like godzilla, the face of a troll with a protruding jawline, and it's front legs are like spider-leg nubs. It's a fleshy pale colour and drops off "ant lion" spawn akin to HL2. Really retarded. Abram tanks, jet fighters (F16? F22?), and a stealth bomber can't even cause a dent in the damn thing. Really stupid.

To each his own, the biggest problem with the film as you said was the fact that it could somehow withstand TOW missile strikes, self propelled artillery attacks, F-18 strikes, and B-2 bomber attacks and still survive intact. There is no way in hell that thing could have lasted afterwards.
Well they couldn't exactly err on the side of realism or it'd be like, "monster attacks city and knocks over a building before having it's abdomen blown in by multiple JDAM's".
It was ok, not great, not bad, just average. I went in expecting it to be how it was, there were people loudly complaining about it at the end in the theatre I saw it in.

Why not? That's usually how the ending goes with any other monster movie for the most part. I just thought having the creature survive all of these attacks screamed of BS.
Also, I thought the parasites were a bit absurd and didn't really benefit the movie in any way.

i wonder if i download a cam if it will really be so terrible to watch since it was made to look like it was shot on one anyway
I have read somewhat of the back story of this, since I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was nice to see a movie done in a non standard Hollywood way.
Apparently, the monster most likely came from the depth of the ocean, a place such as the Mariana's trench. (I believe that is the deepest point in the ocean?). So to live and survive in those depths it developed of course very thick and tough hide, able to withstand an arsenal of small arms, artillery and heavy bombing. Which actually is not so hard to believe.
Also, this creature is apparently a baby, it is something like 1/4 of the size it would get to as an adult. Which makes one wonder where is the adult version of it.

What?
Uhh...No, I used the Mariana trench as an example if that is what you are referring to. Or could it possibly swam around a continent to get to where it came on land...hmmm?
There is actually more to the back story I didn't mention, but yea...
Yeah you could be right but if you lived in Mariana Trench for many years does that make you almost invincible to TOW missile strikes, self propelled artillery attacks, F-18 strikes, and B-2 bomber attacks ? Probably not.
please explain what in the trench would encourage the development of a skin able to defend against missiles?
It's not a deep sea monster anways, it can be seen crashing into the ocean in one of the final scenes. So it's an alien thingy.
The more I look at it the monster kinda resembles the alien from the Alien films in a gigantic form -

I liked the moive (I just saw it yesterday at the theater it's premier weekend for it over here).
I liked not knowing anything about the monster itself; what it was, where it came from and what happened to it.
The camera hand shake was a tad overdone and could have been toned down a bit.
BUT
What I like the most about the film is that I'm still thinking of these things this long after seeing the film. I don't think I have done this with any movie in many many years.
This lead me to see what more theories circulate on the net and I started to discover all kinds of fun stuff that is associated with the "viral" marketing campaign.
All the characters in the movie has a MySpace page and they are all friends with each other. (Huds MySpace page as an example http://www.myspace.com/hudsonplatt)
Several video clips about events surrounding what happened:
Here's another example

I guess I fell for the hype, but only after I saw the movie itself. Now I want a sequel that explains everything >.<
