Shiv 40 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Who’s seen this? I watched it on impulse last night. I thought it was going to be pretty generic at first, but it ended up getting proper tense and unsettling as the movie went on! John Goodman was definitely key in making it a good thriller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke78619 22,941 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I loved it, I loved the fact that I couldn’t tell whether it was actually related to the first Cloverfield movie or not theres a third one on Netflix too, I really like how all three are completely different the ending of the third one had me gagged at the time so I would suggest watching that next it’s more sci fi so hopefully you like that genre insta: good_lukeing | I have nothing else to promote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 104,291 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 It was good but very little element of Cloverfield alien that people wanna see after thw first ine, so I kinda understand why they are not too popular with some audience .

The end of this movie felt like a nod to something else in the series (when she’s in her car and listening to the emergency radio) I don’t think I’ve seen the original Cloverfield, I wonder if it’s on NZ Netflix. Could definitely be keen to check both out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichAssPiss 4,706 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 A great movie! I saw it in theaters back when it was released. It's an excellent claustrophobic thriller with a script that has more layers than most of its kind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia 1,366 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I thought the build up was amazing until the last act with the aliens and the action-ey CGI I feel the film just was derailed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasi 10,826 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Absolutely chaotic masterpiece of a sci-fi thriller. One of my favourite movies hands down. I don't understand pineapples, so I don't eat bananas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that he was lying to keep the main girl hostage, and everything was normal on the outside. So when I saw those alien ships flying overhead, I had the same “holy sh*t he was right, and it’s actually worse” reaction that the girl had. It’s like the movie was self-aware of how over the top and convoluted the real scenario was, outside the bunker. I did think it was corny how this neurotic, fashion designer girl suddenly had these complex combat and militia skills during the closing parts of the movie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
