@@wyredmusic the very first found footage film I heard was a film in the 80s but the blairewitch one made ppl see these films are cool but then paranormal activity was the film that made every film maker see what you can do with found footage films
Found footage is such a wonderful format, that i am in love with, and found footage media, not just movies, series, arg's etc. etc. are made all the time, and never stopped being made. But this very specific sort of high-budget action thriller FF movie is not something we see anymore. Hollywood stopped caring about found footage long ago, they don't see it as what it is, a format, an artform, but as something that came and went, out of the mainstream? sure but found footage never left as i said. and i kinda want people to realize this more, obviously there's modern classics like We're all going to the world's fair, Skinamarink, Mothers of Monsters, but there hasn't been another Chronicle, another Cloverfield, another project almanac, and that makes me sad.
Everyone was talking about this at school when it came out. Such a thrilling film. Made you feel like you were actually there, trying to escape New York
Lizzy Caplan has such a great sense of humor in real life but she nails her role as Marlena being so indifferent and cold in the beginning of the movie and even throughout the chaos. Marlena and Hud could have been a great together. In her last moments, she calls out to Hud that she doesn't feel so good. Makes me think she's started to develop this connection with Hud who at first was this annoying dude to her but his sense of humor found ways to comfort her.
@@ManubibiWalsh It almost reminds me of the classic TV movie Threads, about a nuclear warhead(s) being unleashed onto England, the first act is about the relationships of the main characters, how they're about to have a baby, move into their first apartment, and bam. Disaster has no preference and everything you knew before has gone
Dude this movie is the goat of monster movies I don’t think they can ever top this was One of my Most awesome childhood memories being 10 years old watching this movie with my father in theaters ❤️ Paramount if you guys make another Cloverfield honor this movie make it so similar to this movie because the other clover fields were trash nowhere near this first one
Im a huge fan of these style of movies I think cloverfield was my first and I was amazed on how just beautiful the movie was shot I wish there were a lot more
Love that the party scene & beginning of the destruction was filmed in time for the movie to have as its teaser in front of Transformers on July 3rd of 2007
I loved this movie as a kid. I think I was 13 when it came out. I just watched it again for the first time in over a decade and it's still great. Watching behind the scenes stuff just makes it look so much harder to make a movie. Having to pretend stuff is there like a monster is attacking you while someone's doing something like eating a cheeseburger behind the camera. When I was a teenager I could cry on command and would be chilling with my friends and be like I bet I can cry. Then I'd show them. I never wanted to act but when I was younger I felt like "I could do that" then Watching behind the scenes with so much going on I think that looks much harder than I thought. It's crazy how everything looks mediocre while filming but once the movies finished it just comes together so amazingly. I never read reviews but today I was reading some reviews of this movie from Metacritic. And I was just like man how could anyone give this movie 30%. Then I started looking at those reviewers highest rated movies and im like what is this junk. Looks so boring. "A 13 year old girl is trying to find who she is while her jewish father is struggling with hardships. She falls in love with a boy at school" That sounds so boring I wouldn't even attempt to watch it but your giving it a 98% and Cloverfield a 30%. Ima stop looking at movie review overall percentages because some people just have different, (or bad) tastes.
My dad, he is in the US Army, he thinks that camo all of the soldiers were wearing was the worst camo ever in the US Army, and he thinks that because it doesn't blend in with anything. And he also wore that camo in afghanistan.
imagine making another cloverfield film 2008 hand-held style. And then the director tells the main actor that 'they' are going to shoot it in IMAX 70mm.
JJ Abrams: I wish America had an iconic Godzilla like monster to call our own. Yes... if only we had a giant, building climbing monster to call our own. Maybe one covered in fur and that pounds its chest.
So secret ive never seen it all the way through. Thank god. The Statue of Liberty is located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. It's approximately 2.5 miles away from lower Manhattan in New York City. So godclover supposedly batted the head all that distance. As soon as i saw that i knew the film was going to be a load of hokum.
there is a direct sequel to the 2008 cloverfield coming!!!!! they might change the production style however (to normal blockbuster style filming). If they do change it, itll ruin the movie and the visceral immersion and realism will be gone.
You see it/something drop into the ocean from the sky in one of the quick flashback cuts. So maybe Cloverfield larva/eggs arrived via meterorite that landed in the ocean and it grew from there.
