GREAT TWIST AT END! (if you caught it!) SPOILERS!

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2008)

So like most movie buffs, I lined up for the 9 o clock showing on Friday night for cloverfield. The previous viewers, the 7 o clock showing was leaving and of course some game away the movie, but luckily enough I had already read all about it on IMDb before hand. The movie at first starts out with a warning that this is evidence found from central park, which pretty much insists that the characters that were in central park were dead. The relationship is built between the main character Rob and Beth seamed helpless... however, that is what the movie is pretty much based upon.
I think the most intense scene in the movie is when they are sitting in the subway station waiting. It almost seamed crazy they were going down there, but where else would you hide? I was waiting for a loud boom, or some creature to appear suddenly while at the station, however, nothing happened. Which left you with more fear of what is happening above ground.
Marlena exploding was amazing. Some people in the theater thought that she was shot, however, you can clearly see the two army men holding her and her body going crazy and her head exploding.
The run to get beth was full of intense action and loud noises. The camera was NOT steady at all during the running scenes, however, it was easy to catch everything going on.
The monster seamed to be a cross between a crab and a spider.. with little babies? or workers. Some believe that the monster WAS a baby, and the mother will be the main MONSTER in cloverfield2.
STAY TUNED!
SPOILERS.
*while on the bridge there is a quick shot of robs brother on the pole, then for a brief second the camera focuses on someone else recording.
*at the end in the central park scene, at the very last second it cuts back to the ferris wheel, then back to them. if you look closely you can see that the monster drops the minis into the ocean/lake right before heading towards central park.
*end credits. at the very end of the credits there is a code that is written backwards. of course, i didn't have time to figure out what it said. but stay until the VERY END.
