so u don't actually get to see the monster in the movie? nothing... not one thing of it... NOW WHY THE FUCK WOULD I GO SEE IT? fuck that shit... im not wasting my time nor my money on something that isn't even seen in the film!

chrisby, I hope you go see this because it was a amazing movie and nothing in this article suggests that you never see the thing. Trust me it looks great, and a hell of alot better then the viewers drawing in this article!

You do see the monster chrisby? I think they do an excellent job at showing you the monster when it's all from a single camera. You get full shots, a good close up, really everything without having too much. SO GLAD this movie is doing as well as it is. It was so original and different . LOLL I didn't notice the the drop in the water at the end when I went to the midnight showing Thursday night but Friday when I woke up apparently everyone else did and was talking about it. I was like what, water, when? I gotta go see it again SOON now.

I have a picture of the splash.

really chrisby, you do see the monster(s) a shitload lol more than i thought i was gonna lol and i was like the only one in the theatre i went to that saw the monster fall into the water

Like OMG!!!

It's the fucking satellite that fell from the sky - Yeah, the monster came from outer space...jesus christ

Why do you guys continue to use the bogus drawing of the creature? It looks NOTHING like that...

that movie was really great. i think they should make a sequal.at least show wat happened or somtin.liz survived...

yes I saw that scene and saw that object that fell from the sky into the water. That explains where it came from.

The satellite didn't wake up the monster. The company apparently went down into the ocean trenches to search for their satellite, which awoke it. If the falling satellite woke the monster, why did it take a few weeks to come out and attack on land?

This picture is about 30% correct... The monster in the movie is fucking wicked looking, almost like something out of "Gears of War"

the monster in the movie was like a gorilla face with long arms sharp teeth this pic is mostly correct cloverfield doest give us a good shot at the back. CANT WAIT TIL VIRAL MARKETING FOR CLOVERFIELD 2 AT THE END OF THE MOVIE IT SAYS HELP US BUT PLAYED BACKWARDS IT SAYS HELP US

CORRECTION PLAYED BACKWARDS IT SAYS ITS STILL ALIVE SO IN 2 THEYLL MAKE IT ATTACKING THE WORLD OR SOME SHIT

this is no cloverfield 2! even if they make iti will refuse to acknowlage it existance, by doing so they ruin the first one.damn america and the constant whoring of theything sacred good thing the writers are still on strike lol

I usually agree some sequels ruin movies, but what I've read about this one could be that this wasn't the only video being shot that night. So the sequel would be the same night. Which could still be bad, but could be cool.

sequels doint ruin the first that it just stupid,and even thought i am writing, you guys have too much time on your hands. Plus it looks nothing like that pic. THat looks like the host too much. The moster is in no way reptilian and is skinny. Its head is under its front arms walks kind of like a spider. It has a tail but doesnt seem to use its back legs too much. also, it would be cool i guess, with a dif cam and diff people. But it would have similar results and it would still be alive so i doint know about that. anyway iam not reeves so its not up too me but unless it kicks ass, the thought is a downer.

yes this image is not Exactly accurate i seen the movie on opening day you see the monster close to the end but after about the first 30 mins you only see parts like an arm the tail that knocks the bridge down the foot that stomps the tank and shit like that but i still enjoyed it only wish it wasn't filmed entirely first person shot like the movie was .

No, this image is a bit off... especially in the head. Anyway, I'm really responding to the always reliable chrisby, who, as usual, has jumped to wild and inane conclusions that seem to be pulled from thin air. OF COURSE YOU GET TO SEE THE MONSTER IN THE FILM! Where in the blue hell did you get the idea that you don't?!?!?!? You don't listen to what people tell you, you never read what is written, and your comments on most topics seem to indicate that you rarely actually see any of the movies covered on B-D... all of which would be fine, if you didn't always feel the need to work yourself into a rage over things you've made up in your own head and come here to piss on people's parades. Which brings me to rainbowblack's odd anti-capitalism, anti-sequel rant. CLOVERFIELD barely scratches the surface of this story, and the ending certainly doesn't conclude the beast's rampage. How would continuing the story ruin it? We're not talking about making up stuff to cash in; we're talking about telling the rest of the tale. Oh well. I guess you have to have somewhere to complain about America, so why not pick a monster movie comment section?

A) You see the monster quite clearly...B) The above image has some of the qualities but the armorred spine and head are definately different. A better description for the head would be the space slug from Empire Strikes Back on serious amounts of acid. C) The movie is worth a look, if only for the ass whoopin laid on Manhatten

I think this movie was great... awesome filming which gave you the impression that this really happened. Doubts that a sequel will come to explain the full story, if anything it'll be on the extra features when the dvd is released. Maybe it'll be a news cast of months after the attack with further details like how Dawn of the Dead did while the infestations occur.

I agree that this was a great film. When the end of the flick came i felt a little violated because I wanted more. But all in all i think this one is a stroke of genius. this reminds me of Alien..You didnt see much of the creature in the first one but it made people come back for more in Aliens. Unanswered questions are guaranteed return. I think the sequel for Cloverfield will be excellent if they stay on track. It is worth seeing. Chrisby is not a true Horror fan. JKROUSKOP...I like your style.

I believe that a sequel could be filmed in a traditional fashion, not so much on a first person thing, since at the start of the film NO SPOILERS HERE (it's in the trailer) you get the idea that someone recovered the camera, so we might get the answers of the creature origins, and some more things...

SATELLITE FELL THE SKY - A COMBINATION OF SLUSHO DRILLING & JAPANESE SEARCHING OCEAN FOR SATELLITE CAUSED MONSTER TO AWAKEN. THAT DRAWING DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE THE MONSTER... AND ONLY A MORON WOULD THINK THE MONSTER DROPPED OUT OF THE FUCKING SKY

Like I said before. Just overblown hype.

How is that a satellite falling from the sky? That's a boat you can see the waves coming from the back of it and you can see it moving forward. And there definitely will be a sequel to this or something like it because in the beginning it siad "multiple sightings" so possibly more videos. Why is the movie named cloverfield anyway?

Overblown hype? Hell no, this movie was well worth it. That picture ya got up there of the monster is correct in the body part's shape, and everything is good, Except the head. The image of its head to me sticks out at the one part of the movie where we got a close up of the face, and it was no way nearly as reptilian like the pic.

FUCKIN AMAZIN MOVIE.... END OF STORY

Well I went and saw this when it opened, I loved the movie but did not notice the ending.. So I got me a shitty copy of the movie and re watched the end...Well I DIDN'T see anything fall into the ocean but you do see the "splash" the whole time, To me it looks like it could just be a big boat?. So again I did not see anything fall into the water but I do see the "splash".

yeah im deff with bowzer i watched the ending a few times and seen no splash or anything coming from the sky into the water. It deff looked like a wake from the boat!!! some people are so stupid! Nothing fell into the water! And all those people who say the monster isnt an alien..um wtf is it then ass cunt? and the parasites.. if it was here all along there is no evidence of another similar organism in history. Unless it was man made or it came from SPaaaaace. And um if it came from water and servived submurged for thousands of years it can breath both on dry land and under water? And the parasites would also have to do the same. They both obviously werent aquatic! SO taste this piss on your parade!

haha wow "SATELLITE FELL THE SKY - A COMBINATION OF SLUSHO DRILLING & JAPANESE SEARCHING OCEAN FOR SATELLITE CAUSED MONSTER TO AWAKEN. THAT DRAWING DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE THE MONSTER... AND ONLY A MORON WOULD THINK THE MONSTER DROPPED OUT OF THE FUCKING SKY" show me the god damn satalite!!!! And yeah douche that pic is pretty close! go get your eyes checked. And guy, those videos of the oil drilling station arent really about the movie!!!! all i gotta say is.. IDIOT

The ending everyone claims, is just a boat. It will be proven when the DVD comes out. I loved the style, and part of the beauty of the style is the ambiguity. Explaining more would have been giving in. A sequel, as much as many of us want one, may not be able to be handled correctly. If I were to continue it, it would have to follow the underlying theme, evidence. The next could be military film documentation. I think it would be wrong to change the style of the film just to explain what everyone wants to but doesn't need to know.

u say u see the monster in the movie... yet i can't find 1 single solitary thing on it! not even a flash of it or nothing... no pictures... no just NOTHING! i've searched google and everything... and ppl take vids and cams into cinemas all the time! so why is there not 1 single piece of evidence supporting its there... and im too cheap to go see it... im a saw fan :)

Ok, guys, the monster has gills, and the shit started in the water: oil tanker wrecked, statue decapitated... Obviously, it's from the sea. And from what I've read it seems that the company that created Slusho woke it up (or whatever). One sight has a "recap" of a screening of the movie (which they apparently made ALOT of changes after that). But anyway, for those of you who are thinking of just watching the dvd - it will definatley not have nearly the same impact.

To those naysayers claiming that nothing fell into the water, the first two times I saw it I knew nothing about the "splash scene". Upon my third viewing, and knowing what to look for, I did indeed see it. It's to the left of the boat in the shot. So yes, there is a boat and it has a wake and all of that. You're not wrong there. But you do also see a white streak fall rapidly from the sky followed by a splash. It's not really that big and you have to be paying close attention, but I assure you it's there.

Okay, if you read the TAGRUATO CORP. website it clearly states that one of the corporations specialties is "DEEP SEA DRILLING" for natural resources. It then shows a world map of all of their drilling stations. There is one named the "Chuai Station" off the U.S. Northeastern coast which had an opening date of 1-16-08. The corporation also deals in Biological Research at these Drilling Sites, specifically in "Extremophiles". Organisms which have adapted to survive the harsh environment of the ocean floor (temprature, pressure, etc). They actually go into detail about how they harvest unique chemicals from these bacteria and other microbes found. This then connects to the SLUSHO site (which is also a branch of TAGRUATO) and it tells the story of one of the scientists and the discovery of a substance which he dreams about consuming and the turning into a whale. Its a weird little story heres the link (http://slusho.jp/) and select "History". This miraculous deep sea ingredient is the special ingredient in SLUSHO! So, at the very least the creature comes from the ocean...in one form or another.

1: It wouldn't make too much sense to make the monster from outer space, because the movie did seem to be going for some level of realism (all things considered). The undersea hypothesis is most probable. Where would it come from in space, and how could it survive? 2: I doubt there would be any good pictures on the internet anyways, the producers aren't going to release any this soon, and besides, googling the Cloverfield monster is just going to spout out a bunch of fanart like the blue whale picture. 3: Movie has plenty of scenes showing the monster and its hitchhikers, so shut up and quit arguing. What, you want a movie showing the monster at all times in PIP? Maybe a complimentary colonoscopy and x-rays of the damn thing? 4: Why shouldn't they make a sequel? It was a good movie, they could get away with having alternative videos and other ways of presenting the movie. Besides, hasn't there been like a million Godzilla movies out of Japan? Without the capitalism, their wouldn't BE any good movies. 5: The picture above is the most accurate representation I've seen on the internet so far. Although I would say that the front legs should be a lot longer. I don't remember Clover having a carapace, it seemed to be a lot more fleshy. And I don't remember seeing the hind legs, it may just be me. I thought that maybe the tail was supporting it's rear at times, and at others it was balanced on its front legs. I was actually rather relieved when they finally really showed what the monster was. The whole parasite thing has been overplayed the past few years, what with the Flood, the Chimera, and whatnot in videogames. The poisonous bites from the small creatures was a nice touch, it wouldn't be too exciting if they were just bug-raptors. And they were necessary, considering everyone could pretty much hide underground from a large monster.

...sorry, I forgot to mention that there is a bunch of stuff about something bad going down at the Chuai Station. (http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2008/01/more-chuai-st ation-news-videos-english.html) It sounds like the corporation was trying to contain something, even to the point where security blew up a life boat. It also mentions the oil tanker seen in the movie.

I also hope it's not some biological experiment gone awry, that too is just tired. Just keep it simple, it's some deep-sea creature driven from its natural habitat.

Someone help me out here... this is my synopsis on it, and I have a link to a clip I think is related to the background of the cloverfield monster that hasn't been officially related to the movie yet... First off, I think there may be a sequel if Cloverfield does well at the box office, however, I don't think it will be anything new... I think it'll be a different perspective of the incident, or a different video that was discovered from that day, or atleast around that time period. Second, they may make it more documentary type, still using the hand cameras, and have possible interviews or interrogations of people involved with slusho, the drilling company, and the people who owned the satellite. Rob was most likely heading to japan to become the vice president of Slusho, I mean Slusho has to relate somehow to the movie right? Here's the clip I think is somehow related to cloverfield, but may have not became official, maybe it's already viral marketing for cloverfield 2? http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/87812/detail/

NVM just went to that chuai station site and saw the video there... either way backs up my thoughts on everything... I think a Satellite fell from the sky, possibley had some type of radiation on it, caused some fish to mutate, those little parasites were probably algae eaters... lol... The company went to get the satellite a few weeks after it crashed and disturbed the monster... However, in a press release they even say the monster is supposed to be like a lost baby who's scared and frantically looking for its mommmy... I want to say at the very end of the movie that one monster in central park is different from the one in the middle of the city... comes from a different angle than it should, looks slightly different, and appears more relaxed than the one that was already in the city. Maybe it's the mother coming for the child? Or maybe it is just the same monster and it somehow ended up way outside the city lol.

God I'm way too into this at the moment lol... after watching all those videos at the Chuai station site... I'm figuring it's something a bit different... A bunch of those people on that oil rig are wearing white coats like scientists... I'm wondering if the oil rigs are actually for scientific research? They also say they believe the 'coast guard' was there to rescue the ppl... obviously the guys look like ninjas though... probably a special ops team because of classified info? Research being done at the rig probably caused the mutations, and when the satellite fell, if one really did fall, caused a some kind of disturbance near new york.. butterfly effect... bam you have the monster invading new york.

Maybe the monster just doesn't like tall buildings and is throwing a tantrum. I know I can't building anything more than three building blocks high or else my nephew screams and kicks it over. Come to think of it, he has fleas, too.

If you watch that clip at Chuai, look on the shoulder of the 'ninjas', it's the tagruato symbol. If you go here, http://tagruato.blogspot.com/2007/11/effect.html you can read about The Effect, and how they want to stop Tagruato, and they say how Tagruato does testing on exotic and endangered creatures for production of food and drinks, and that Tagruato owns Slusho. So the drill sites are probably cover-ups for secret testing for food products, and they were probably thinking of using something from the monster for 'slusho' or some kind of product, and when T.I.D.O. or The Effect blew up the drill site, Tagruato agents came to try to rescue some of the scientists, and the monster was released.

"u say u see the monster in the movie... yet i can't find 1 single solitary thing on it! not even a flash of it or nothing... no pictures... no just NOTHING! i've searched google and everything... and ppl take vids and cams into cinemas all the time! so why is there not 1 single piece of evidence supporting its there... and im too cheap to go see it... im a saw fan :)" Of COURSE you're not going to find anything! The whole point of WATCHING the movie is to find out what the thing was that was attacking the city in the trailers. And if you're too cheap to watch this movie then shut up about things you don't know. And for the people arguing about that finally scene, you really aren't going to know for sure until the DVD comes out and you can pause it on that scene.

ok in reply to why chrisby might think there wouldnt be a monster shown in the film the movie was called MacGuffin at first which is a plot device that motivates the characters or advances the story, but has little or no actual relevance to the story i doubt chrisby knew about the name but just saying i thought thered be no sign of a monster till i saw footage that claimed otherwise

Just went on the milk and cookies website after perusing the above commentary. Definately humorous but you can see that it is an extremely low budget facsimile of a real newscast. I can guarentee you that there is absolutely no channel 26 or anchor named Julie Simone in Connecticut. As for the monster: while the similarities in anatomical structure are there with the above picture, the overall creature is not that close to the above kthulian representation so you can all stop denigrating each other as idiots and the like about that. The real creature has no spinal armorring and has quite a bit more muscle tone than the above bloated crustacian on crack drawing. I stand by my earlier spaceslug on acid representation of the head (yeah it has red breathing sacks attached at the mandibles) but the overall creature appears more alien than aquatic during the movie though I believe JJ's explanation of it's ocean origins more than Reeve's story. Could also be a long dormant alien that was asleep under the ocean and was awoken ala Carpenter's "The Thing" by the Taragutu Corp. Just some random food for thought on this matter.....

I have seen the movie and you get to see the monster plenty of times..in a few shots very clearly. If you haven't seen it, then stop complaining..go see it and then form your own opinions. I loved it, I want to see a sequel told from another point of view. GO SEE THE MOVIE!!!!

man i never noticed that at the end but thats crazy.i cant believe people think they wouldnt show the monster,of course they show it!!!! i saw the movie it was fantastic and i plan on seeing it again this weekend, go cloverfield!!!!!

a. i've seen the movie twice; first time, never saw the satellite at the end, then after reading all the hype, i went to see it a second time, and <b>did</b> see it fall. after knowing about all of this, i got so excited when i finally saw it. b. there is a boat in the water at the time, but its pretty clear that something falls, and it isn't the boat making waves; though it will appear as a wave, if you don't notice the satellite itself. c. regaurdless if that photo of the monster is wrong or right, why is that the main arguement of this? it doesn't matter if it's not exact, you probably won't find an exact photo because you never see the monster fully, but it is scary, the detail that you do see is amazing; and there's no point in trying to justify it. d. i highly disagree on the fact that they should make a sequel; yeah it'd be nice for j.j to explain all of this, but it might just be an extra on the DVD; i wouldn't jump too far into the future, especially since the movies only been out for what, five days? a sequel would defeat the purpose; the ending left you knowing everything you needed to know. it wasn't a cliff hanger, it was the perfect ending to a film like that. e. i loved this movie, and i will be owning it when it releases.

i don't know if thats what the creature looks like but if thats it it looks like a bite off the movie the host. still cant wait to see the movie tomorrow.

make sure you look out for the satellite, then come back and say what you think (:

the guy mat or whatever his name is in the movie has a myspace account as the character in the movie. it tells you why he went to japan because he was elected vice president of a soft drink company called slusho. and on the site clover field clues.com it shows you pictures of what the monster may have been eating like dead wales washed up on the beach with bite marks on it.

what? im so confused. explain the "slusho" to me; what is that?

p.s. what the url for the myspace?

This is a better representation of the monster. Apparently the same artist but a different profile. The armorred spine is still too disproportionate but the overall pic is much closer to the actual movie monster than anything I've seen on the net thus far. Link: http://media.filmschoolrejects.com/images/cloverfieldmonste rart03.jpg

chrisby is an idiot.

Ok, here is the lowdown on why exactly its called cloverfield, and how a sequel WILL not ruin the first one: First of all, it says mulitple sightings of "project" cloverfield... KK? multiple sightings, which means there are more. K now answer me this, how many leavers are on a Clover?? About 3 or 4 right? That means there is at least more than one monster because if you really think about it, that monster got around new york pretty fast right? Cloverfield, the field, means the emptiness of manhattan after they bombed it/ nuked it whatever.. Notice that whern the bridge was attacked that it was attacked by some different tentacle like thing right? Now your all goping to say its the same monster, the one that killed hud, no its not, because the one who killed hud had a different form of tail, it was more stiff and it didnt really move around alot. Heres another clue, on the cloverfield movie poster, it shows the statue of libertyy with claw marks on it, the monster that killed hud DID NOT have claws, it was also shorter than the one that you barely see when the movie was announced. Now your all going to hate me, BUT JJ ABRAMS HIMSELF HAD SAID, there will be other movies of cloverfield, like a series, he's aiming for only two, and the second one will show a dsifferent perspective of the event in new york, and a different set of characters. Thats why if you go to the official cloverfield website, under the photo's, each photo has a different time.. Im looking forward to PM's NOT MORE POSTS HERE REGARDING WHAT I SAID OK? I WANT EITHER EMAILS OR PM''s MY EMAIL ADRESS IS lorditachi117@yahoo.com THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO MARLENA ****SPOILER**** She simply blows, up thru her stomach, bnecause if any of you had noticed, somewhere in the party, she was drinking SLUSHO ands the monster's parasite, smells slusho on the people, THATS WHY IT ATTASCKED THE OIL RIG, thats also why marlena was the only one bitten in the sub-way scene.. Abrams was even smart enough to show us that stomach-less soldier EMAIL ME OR PM ON WHAT I SAID, and hate me all you want, over-all you know im right, i have more clues and hints for you guys to think about if you want, but i dont want everyone knowing on this particular post.

EDITS, ok when i asked how many "leavers arew on a clover" i meant Leaves

I like your take on the Slusho ingrediant driving the little bastards crazy. However, I'm gonna disagree with a lot of your other 'take' on this. First off, I guess when the words "whatever it is, it's winning" weren't a clear enough indication that the monster was indeed of the singular breed. Hello.....the CNN footage was also concentrated on one monster not a group furthermore confirming the singularness. And unless your spidey-senses have given you divine insight into Hud's demise, I don't see how you could gleen that slushzilla was clawless seeing as the shots were not head-on (which probably explains your deception at the overall size) Oh yeah, and the end quote "It's Alive,....." not they're alive should pretty much bring it on home for you there tex. BTW I'm well aware that Reeves threw out the mother-baby plot but his summary was MARKEDLY different from JJ's indicating a clever dichotomy concerning the monster's origins probably to set the seeds of anticipation for part 2.....

slusho is the soft drink companie he became vice president for in japan.http://www.myspace.com/robbyhawkins

if you look at the end of the movie when there on the ferris wheel if you focus at about 14 seconds on the right of the girl people say you can see the slusho satilight fall out the sky and thats what mutated the monster idk just a theory

if you read all the other comments before, that's what everyone was talking about already. but i don't think anyone knew that it was the SLUSHO satellite.

i saw the movie it was good the monster was cool but i hope they don't ruin it if they make a part 2 and its bad but they are probably going to make a sequel because after the credits he said help us its still alive.

Someone asked me about the movie and I said I thought it was like Godzilla meets The Blair Witch Project.

yea your right thats what it was like

this movie was amazing. the whole first-person camera shoot really did it for me. as far as that pic its kinda similar to the monster but what i dont get is how everyone is saying that the monster came from the sea. that makes almost perfect sense from the clues in the movie but then why the hell does it have flat feet with huge claws? when it steps on the tank u see it has the feet of the t-rex from Jurassic Park for Gods sake!! feet that would be perfect for walking on LAND? if it came from the sea wouldnt it have like fins or something?????

I'm new to this site....and I just read all of your comments posted above...you guys have some pretty interesting opinions concerning the movie Cloverfield...I agree with some of you and downright disagree with the rest....the one thing I do agree with is that Cloverfield is one of the best horror movies I have seen in a very long time...the shaky camera method of producing the movie was ingenius and I came to appreciate the quality...Now I saw above that some of you guys were confused as to the origin of the creature to which I say....who cares....Supposedly it was awakened from hibernation at the bottom of the sea...that's good enough for me....and as for this sequal talk...I would definitely go see it....

A.) I do not remember any references to a company called slusho in the movie and i just left ther theater. B.) At the end that was most definitely not a sattelie. It clearly was the same shape as the monster that attacked the city. C.) I agree that there was more than one monster tho bc the monster got around way 2 fast and the monster that attacked the city did seem a lot larger than the one in the park. D.) Yes jj abrams did say that the monster was a spooked baby which wuld suggest it had a family somewhere but i personally did not hear a reference to the monster being a baby in the actual movie. However I did not notice that the tails were different between the two possible monsters. E.) the monster had claws not fins or webbed feet suggesting it may have been alien. F.) Can someone please tell me where the name cloverfield comes from and its connection 2 the movie? G.) The monster from the host did closely resemble this monster but it was explained that it was a mutated fish.. H.) Did Rob and Beth survive the last explosion? I.) Are you all sure there is no accurate picture of the monster online bc i have been searching 4 hours and cant find one but u might be able 2 save me from wasting more time???

Headshot! http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=monster sh9.jpg The only semi decent one i can find ATM.

someone was mentioning about the name cloverfield- JJ Abrams said in an interview that it signinfies the destruction of central park etc. the field indicates the park, and the clover is a plant known to grow in areas that have recently been bombed. perhaps some symbolism there ie. the monster or rob n beth survivng in central park

Well I just saw that film, it had an ending thats the best thing I can say about it. Truely a poor film 'a bad robot production'...Drop the 'robot'. It was a mix of gozilla, the blair witch project. Totally unoriginal. Whats that you say? The monster was original...yeah right it looks just like the moster from a 2006 film, called 'the host' just supersized...infact it looks so much like it, that is a picture up the top there is 'the host: monster' ...I get the name though 'clovefeild', cloverfields they're more intresting.

sorry my bad its not the host... its concept art for the host

You guys are fucking Nuts... just been to see the movie and i was extrmemly impressed, honestly cant say anthing bad about it, even its few shortcoming add to its overal effect. theres definately going to be a sequel, no doubt about it but my take on it is that possibly a prequel will be the way they go? who knows, interesting ideas on the SLUSHO concepts etc, think there was definately more than one monster, no way was the one that killed hud the same monster that was attacking the city, also unsure the the tail that took out the bridge belonged to either of the above. the fact the the soldier said "we dont know what it is but its winning" may be there strategically to throw you off. thats just his perspective on it because he thinks their fighting one monster doesnt make it the case. anyways i guess prequel which will delve into slusho, the tanker etc and where the monster came from.

for a while there they werent letting you see the monster at all in the commercials but i just saw a trailer on the SciFi channel that gives you a clear full-body shot of it in the middle of the street.

I've seen the movie twice now, but I didn't actually see the sky, but I do believe that it was there, why exactly would people lie about it? I doubt however that it would actually be the monster falling from the sky thats just stupid, but a lot of people seem to think it was a satelite. If it was, then prehaps the monster might be from outer space but it was drifting around in the form of an egg or something, and hit the satelite which caused it to fall to earth? Then it 'hatched' and came up on land and began destroying things. Or it might have been from the sea, and if so the theory that it is a creature from long ago that had been dormant, and then something disturbing it, seems the most plausible. Really I think a sequel could be good to sort of explain where it came from, what happened to it etc. But prehaps it could be done as a sort of military documentation film, so it is in keeping with the P.O.V perspective of Cloverfield. A lot of people were saying about how a number of cameras could have been found, but personally I think where it says "Multiple Sighting of Case Designate 'Cloverfield'" at the begining could just be refering to the fact the creature was filmed on a number of different occasions by Hud.

**sorry i meant to say 'didn't actually see the thing fall from the sky' in the first line!

It looks like a giant Zerg creature and those little ones coming off look like Zerglings. And when that woman exploded, its like an infested terran. Im just saying, its alot like StarCraft! xD

ok, idk how they found this out but, a girl that i work with told that someone she knows went all out on this movie and researched the shit out of it. they said that rob's character plays a bigger part in the whole plot of Cloverfield. the job that rob got in japan (the one that everyone was celebrating for at the beginning of the movie) deals with satellites, and that was their satellite that fell from the sky into the ocean that you see (for literally a second) at the end of the movie...and rob is the president or vice president of this company

o the drawing of the monster above is pretty cool but if you haven't seen what it looks like and you really want to know what the monster looks like, go to www.wikipedia.com, type in cloverfield and you scroll down you'll see a toy of what it completely looks like...

you can see the movie at http://www.vid-stream.com/ I could see the monster, and it look a bit like at www.wikipedia.com i you wanna se the monster at wiki, then just type "cloverfield monster" and the the first one

the clover field monster looks like a dog and godzilla mix because of the spikes and size of it. imagine having it for a pet theat would be fucking awsome. i think though that it should have started either will the sec def presenting it for latest news or at least have the cammera still, i felt like i was going to throw up in the fucking theater and it should have been not on a handheld cammera but a directors cammera.

There was a satellite at the end shot, the director even says so himself. You can read and watch this on his many interviews online. I loved this movie, sad about the most possible death of Rob and Beth, but still rocked!
