Cloverfield
Directed by Matt Reeves
Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives. From TMDB

60 of 390 · most liked firstCLOVERFIELD was released 17 years ago today. A hark back to the classic monster b-movie, and the film that launched the career of director Matt Reeves, the story of how it came to be is big enough to destroy an entire city… 1/39
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie Trailers Are Killing Movies. > A great movie trailer can single handedly turn a movie into a success story--like that genius Cloverfield trailer in 2007 that didn't say what the title of the movie was. But it's more common these days, I'd argue, for a trailer to have the opposite impact. A generic trailer can so thoroughly dampen hype for a film that something like Furiosa, a great movie everybody likes that's a sequel to a great movie everybody likes, could become a major box office…

Like, right now part of the view of Paramount Studios is from 2016, so you get signs for "Everybody Wants Some," "The Big Short," "10 Cloverfield Lane," and a Ninja Turtles movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →You know what movie holds up? Cloverfield. And in retrospect everyone's complaints about the characters sound really misguided. It's possible the filmmakers thought they'd created fascinating ppl, but it's more interesting, if not likely, to treat the characters' inadequateness as the *point*

negative · AI labelView post →The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, 10 Cloverfield Lane). To be frank, that's the only reason why I'm interested in a new regular Predator movie.

When the movie finished and we were about to head home it was clear she wanted a kiss and instead I kept talking about the Monster

CUBE (1997). Old-school indie awesome. BRICK (2025). Flawed but interesting German film (& the closest in concept to TLH)

In terms of more compelling human-level drama and you-are-there action in a kaiju film you'd have to turn to Godzilla Minus One or Cloverfield.

The acting was great (minus a few moments that felt ??), the setting of the film and the extreme tension felt throughout the entire film!

neutral · AI labelView post →Looked up the director, and can't say I have seen anything beyond Cloverfield Paradox, which didn't wow me. So maybe hiring someone who didn't really do any work for 4 years didn't make an interesting movie? This whole project seems like someone hated Falcon and Winter Soldier and vowed to make it so terrible that no one will ever watch it again. It seemed like an easy bunt of a movie: Make a 90s political thriller (like they did with Winter Soldier) and call it a day. Yet here we are, a…

I love the small trick of taking an exploitation film character who would serve as the villain in Misery or 10 Cloverfield Lane or etc, and making her victim-dude deserve it SO BADLY that we root for her even after she's completely unraveled. A non-stop laugh riot.

All I remember was the theater collectively expressing, "Uh. What?" and filing out quietly. *Cloverfield* was another good one at the time, if you could stand the shaky cam.
