CLOVERFIELD RELEASED, by bullet on Feb 2, 2008 2:10:43 GMT 1, Lets give the art talk a kick in the ass for a bit and talk film.
Did anyone see Cloverfield today (was released in UK cinemas this morning).
I have just seen it and i cant tell if i like it or not. Its a bit 'WHAT THE f**k' and was that good or bad sort of feeling.
Very odd film

CLOVERFIELD RELEASED, by graeme501 on Feb 2, 2008 2:15:28 GMT 1, im just back from it, i really enjoyed it, the shakey handheld camera worked really well, and some amount of CGI involved
a friend knew an animator who was working on it and said they found it very difficult getting the CGI animation right because of the handheld camera

CLOVERFIELD RELEASED, by bullet on Feb 2, 2008 2:19:37 GMT 1, yeah that was very good, made me feel a bit sick though. I had to sit there at the end and compose myself. Half of me was weighing up the chance of if that did actually happen, we are all fucked.

CLOVERFIELD RELEASED, by manchestermike on Feb 2, 2008 9:51:47 GMT 1, From what I heard yeasterday, it's like a cross between War of the Worlds and LOST... which happen to be two of the worst things I've seen ever... I'll pass... doesn't look like my cup of tea either really... I'd rather see no country for old men and sweeny todd first.

CLOVERFIELD RELEASED, by GVD on Feb 2, 2008 11:38:53 GMT 1, Saw it last week (released earlier here) and it was amazing, you're constantly on the edge of your seat. My only complaint was that it felt way too short, because of the constant action.
There also a lot of, "wtf what did just happen there" moments, but because of that you really get the feeling your in the middle of it because in a real situation like that a normal civilian wouldn't have a clue what going on either.
So go see it, even if you didn't liked lost and war of the worlds haha. you really cant compare it with those films imo.

CLOVERFIELD RELEASED, by noodles1 on Feb 2, 2008 11:57:47 GMT 1, I saw it last nite also! I hated 'War of the Worlds' and purely detest 'Lost', but this was something else! Fuckin loved it! I didnt feel it was to short, it was tense from start to finish and I feel it ended exactly how it should have at the time that it did. If u want an all American action movie with a start, middle and end then this aint for u. Jus Brilliant!

CLOVERFIELD RELEASED, by mammal2 on Feb 2, 2008 21:32:05 GMT 1, I thought Cloverfield was a wee bit average. I was really, really looking forward to it and after seeing it, I felt a bit mahh!! It was simply perfect until just after the bridge scene and then it got a wee bit stupid. i.e chick with bar through her crap dialogue, how he kept running the camera was less believable than if a monster really did exist, plus showing the monster for the money shot in central park was a mistake i felt. I loved it when you could only see very quick flashes of it between buildings. The CGI was outstanding however. ....NCFOM was simply a mini masterpiece. But, i love Fargo more than mixed cheese platters, and thats alot!

I have to disagree. Although original scores are always crucial to a film, a score in this case would have taken away from the effect including the amazing natural sounds they created. The idea was along the lines of catching a catastrophic event on tape. They even purposely re-created a well know piece of tape from 911 to enhance this effect. IMO less is more and music would have ruined it.
