Cloverfield 2???

***This may contain spoilers***

So I saw Cloverfield last night. Wasn't impressed... wasn't let down though either. I went and got just what i expected. A somewhat entertaining movie with a weak story line thrown in just to keep the movie rolling. I'll give it a 3/5

Alright. Anyways, I was listening to the radio today and they said at the end of Cloverfield, after all the credits and everything there is a radio transmission but its inaudible.. nothing can be made out from it. But supposedly they played the message backwards and this is what was heard "It's still alive". Now whether or not this is actually at the end of the movie I don't know but I did hear it and what i heard was pretty clear. "It's still alive"

Hi. I have just spoken to a friend about the secret message at the end of Cloverfield. He claims it is real as he heard it himself. Anyone else have any information about the secret radio transmission?

RD, thanks for the review! I trust the reviews of ats people more than my local rag.

Secret messages/transmissions......

Maybe to generate interest in the sequel?

Yea, has to be...I always thought there was going to be a Godzilla two because if you remember in the first godizilla, at the end, it showed an egg cracking. there never was though...probably a good thing

yea and whaaa, as far as the actual movie.. its great to see if you gotta gift card or some extra cash. definitley wouldn't waste the money on this if you're pressed for cash but at the same time this movie will probably be garbage outside of theatres.

don't go in expecting to be blown away by an enticing script and story line.. expect to be entertained

I certainly hope they don't make another one.

I mean, I really liked this movie, but to make another one would take away from what made this movie so good, at least for me. Its one-of-a-kind-ness.


I found a singular experience when I watched this movie, and any attempt to make another one like it would just take that away from both of them.

Yea Voidmaster, I agree. I would feel the same way I felt when I found out about Blair Witch Project 2. I thought it was a stupid idea to make it when I finally ended up seeing it I was right. It was terrible.

However, if they did make a sequel it would be interesting to see where they go with it. Even though I'm sure the story/plot will just get beaten to death and loose interest.

They could make another one and have this tape found from somewhere else. It could also tell us weither or not we are still fighting the creature.

I enjoyed this movie for what it was. A ride at Disneyworld. It kind of reminded me of that movie "Strange Days" where people where taping casts from their brain's so others could feel, or watch them. This was what would it be like to be a normal average person in the middle of a disaster movie. More than likely we would end up like they all did . The only detracting element for me was the buffon behind the camera he was a little too much of a moron. Kind of like the Blair Witch and Godzilla had a kid.

The youtube feel though annoying sometimes with all the shaking, did add more realism, and made you feel like you were their. I would recommend see this only in a big theater or with a massive sound system. With out that it would be like watching someone else on a roller coaster at home.

Here's a funny little thought on a sequal
network.nationalpost.com...

Hostly with the kind of money they are making off this one there will be another one, I just hope they make it good and not a Disney part 2

I could care less if they make a sequal. I just saw the original and thought it was one of the most silly films since the Blair Witch Project.
I had a feeling that the hand held camera technique would be lame, POV dosen't even work that well in porn, but I
like lots of other chumps was caught up in the hype.

I thought the story was next to nonexistant and the characters, except for being nice looking, had nothing really going for them. I was actually glad when the monster ate Hud just to shut up his banal banter.

I can see how this movie would appeal to the younger Disney type fans with all the predicitable fake scary moments, creepy monsters and the overall hip youth vibe "dude". Sorry, with out a good story line and some background, for me it was just dumb, relying mainly on shock value to maintain intrest.

I should have listened more carefully to RD and passed this one up. Oh well, my date liked it, but she liked the Blair witch also....

Today I chose "Clover", over "There will Be Blood" because I didn't feel like driving 2omi. Mistake!

good review!

Ya, they have some serious questions to answer lol. But then again it is produced by JJ Abrams of Lost.

I posted in another thread that I read somewhere one day that the monster ate a secret ingredient from the Slusho drink and therefore got really strong and grew really big. After a while of us digging in the ocean for this Slusho ingredient they came after us. Maybe... or maybe that was a joke.

Also heard this monster is supposed to be the United States' version of Godzilla. Japan has Godzilla, but what do we have? Well now we have freak crabs that inject people with poison and make them explode oh boy

I'm just getting in from seeing it tonight, and most of the complaints I heard from the people I went to see it with were based on the fact that they entered the theatre with all of the wrong expectations. We went to see a disaster movie from the point of view of the people in the city. An uninformed, unprepared, and chaotic point of view. Appreciating this movie for what it really is, I absolutely loved it.
QUESTION:

When the movie was over, someone in the theatre stood up and asked if anyone else saw what he saw. Apparently in the last scene when they are on the ferris wheel at Coney Island, he seen something crash into the water. I didn't see it, and I don't think anyone else did.. but he said he seen something. In the movie they say it could of come from the ocean, and given the capsized tanker, obviously this is where it came from. Maybe this was caught on camera, and this is showing where it came from.

Anyone else see anything?

I don't remember that. JJ Abrams is just weird, so much to keep you hooked.

I realized recently that I tend to stick to end of the world type movies (ie. Documentaries, 28 Days later, 28 Weeks later *two thumbs down*, I Am Legend, Cloverfield)... hmm, and also music. Strange. Hrrmmm....

Why is it called Cloverfield anyways?

I saw it tonight and I really liked it.

I just wanted to get a better look at the big monster and little monsters.

chissler i posted this review on another forum i frequent and a lot of people said they did see something at the end. some thought it was a falling satelite...others thought it was a monster.. i didn't see it so i can't be totally sure

heres what i came up with on youtube..check it out


i don't know how more than half of that information is extracted from the movie though....looks like a lot of speculation to me

Wow, that is scary, thanks.

The whole exploding stomach thing was just...

I bet something will follow this whole Cloverfield situation. Hmm, maybe there will be something in the fourth season of Lost connecting to this.

Thank you for that video. Really informative.

I really enjoyed the movie! I thought the hand held POV was a great start/lead up for a 'Hollywood' style sequel. I can see a sequel being a big Hollywood production like Independance Day and a cast of characters involved with the Army fighting the monster, and answering alot of questions as well.

Does anyone else think this might be the route they would take for a sequel?

I was thinking something more along the lines of them finding another video camera with another groups experience with the monster recorded on it.

Your theory is just as plausible though. Both would make excellent films, IMO.

I think these are marketing techniques used to get peoples interest.
John Lennon also masterminded Paul's death thru songs, car accident, Paul not being the real one but an imposter, etc.
Anything like this sells $$$$$

Just my opinion
