“It’s about moments, man. That’s all that matters.” Much has been said already about the film’s expert handling of post-9/11 anxieties. The way it lingers on people standing still in the wake of disaster, shocked & aimless, looking around, taking cellphone pictures as they try and comprehend an event they’ll never fully understand; as reflected in Reeves’ filmmaking, they’ll never have anything more than a few, brief pieces of information sans context. But the thing that’s managed to stick with me about this film many years later is its fleeting optimism. The most brilliant gesture Reeves & Goddard make here is the choice to have the footage of that terrifying day recorded over top of a tape that documents a joyful & intimate…

Holy moly watching this makes you feel helpless af the lore and shit behind this movie is so peak I always love when movies don’t explain everything and you gotta do digging, also the cinematic moments even for a found footage film is insane the head of Statue of Liberty flying into DOWNTOWN NEWYORK. The screams, monster roars and military in the background while the characters are figuring wtf is happening also the fact you don’t really know what’s attacking till the end is so just peak Top 5 movie aot

Я особо не смотрел фильмы в жанре Кайдзю, но этот мне очень даже понравился. Необычная съёмка в виде найденной пленки создает полное погружение в происходящее. То как происходит и развивается катастрофа, все это ты видишь будто бы от первого лица и как персонажи не понимаешь что происходит. В общем достойный фильм, всем советую.

As a kid, I thought this movie was the coolest/scariest shit ever. As an adult with a whole little family of his own, this movie is nothing but pure anxiety and depression. As everything started going downhill, I felt the need to shed tears for these characters whose short lived lives are taken away in just a span of six hours by one of the worst situations to ever be placed in. A cramped city with a crawling outbreak of…

El rescurso de la camara en mano para mantener la tensión me gustó bastante pero que el guión se base en qué el sacowea intenté ir donde la chica cueste lo que cueste aunque mueran todos me lo arruinó un poco

A Creature Feature that’s actually enhanced by the Found Footage format… though it may still give you motion sickness.

I really wish this movie was cool. Unfortunately it totally shoots itself in the foot by making the whole thing found footage. Even on a logic standpoint, it’s bad, but even worse, it takes what could be a captivating tense experience into a dizzying movie. Should’ve done better, I was shocked to see Matt Reeves name attached to this.

A kaiju found footage movie really is just a spectacular idea. The fact that we barely see the monster and when we do its just parts of its body smashing into things is very cool. The style really elevates what could be a very by the books creature feature in a lot of creative ways. Reminds me a lot of a video game in both good and not so good ways. Good in its use of environmental storytelling and scripted…

Sempre que assisto um found footage tenho a mesma sensação engraçada em algum momento aleatório do filme: me questiono sobre o olhar. Se aquela forma deve ou não se adequar a minha realidade, ou se desvencilhar e engendrar algo novo que não se importe com as limitações do real gozando do potencial imaginativo e de uma realidade outra. O que quero dizer em última instância talvez seja sobre o quão factível e verossímil é o carregamento da câmera, a forma…

Eigentlich ein ganz cooler Film. Er hat mich sehr an „The Stroll“ von Aleksey Uchitel erinnert. Ich finde die Kameraarbeit sehr nice und bin immer ein Fan von anderen Ansätzen. Auch das Acting war wirklich solide. Was ich besonders loben muss, ist die Tatsache, dass der Film wirklich zeigt, was während so einer Katastrophe passiert. Er zeigt nicht die Helden, die eintreten und das Geschehen retten, sondern das, was den „normalen“ Leuten tatsächlich widerfährt. Leider fand ich einige logische Zusammenhänge…

3.8 Une jeune groupe de new-yorkais fête la promotion et le départ à l’étranger de l’un des leurs. AU même moment, marathon est attaqué par une mystérieuse créature géante. Vous êtes au premier plan d’une fuite à travers la ville où la seule chose plus résistante que le monstre, est la durée de vie de la batterie.

Super cool gefilmt aber hat mich bei der Hälfte verloren weil es zu langweilig wurde und die Charaktere waren mir nicht interessant genug. Aber ich mochte sehr die Idee mal einen Apokalyptischen Film zu sehen aus der Sicht eines Zivilisten und nicht Amerikas Top 1 Agent der den Tag rettet.

This is one of those movies where the characters really only exist to propell the movie forward. The two closest things to leads are Hud, who is played pretty unlikable by TJ Miller and is the one filming the events of the movie; then we have Rob played by Michael Stahl-David who does a good enough job with a pretty 2-Dimensional character. Like I said before though, this isn’t really the draw of the movie they’re just there so we…

not to get all serious about a silly found footage film, but this one seriously fucks so hard. there is a lot of humanity here, and a lot of heart that inspires both thrill and devastation in you, which can be uncommon in the found footage genre. a lesser movie would have just been cool and let you watch on, but this one is cool and takes you on the ride. i fucking adore this movie

I tried this one especially because it’s categorized as found footage. And yes, almost the entire movie is recorded through a single camera. Visually, I think it works really well. The cinematography is great, the atmosphere of chaos in a huge city feels convincing, and I have no real complaints about the acting. My problems are mostly with the script. 1. The camera: The whole movie is recorded because one guy was supposed to film farewell messages for a friend…

Things I was thinking during this film: 1. Omg imagine being drunk at a party and you have to then run away from a monster the rest of the evening 2. Robs an asshole 3.

Would the camera guy just shut the fuck up for…

Every single creative choice during the opening party makes the found-footage premise work, they don’t feel like actors in a script, just real people who have no clue they’re about to wander into a monster movie. Then BAM, Lady Liberty’s head comes flying down the street and immediately shows you what you’re in for.The sound design is unreal, the rumbling footsteps are a huge stand out and the frantic camerawork sets an insanely high bar for the entire genre. Loved how it uses those quiet, lingering moments to build up a shred of hope, only to strip it all away right at the end.

A simple found footage film that after a bit of settle does deliver a thrilling adventure. A nice monster film. Nice acting and while the characters are not the most fleshed out nor does some character relationships feel organic, film at its core is fun.

Esse cenário apocalíptico me deixa apavorado e juntando com Found Footage não tem erro, mas… O resgate suicida pela Beth foi o que mais me incomodou, seria muito mais interessante ver os personagens lutando pela sobrevivência e não indo atrás do perigo, e a justificativa não me convenceu tanto. Outro ponto que me intrigou foi o fato de não vermos muita coisa, pelo cenário faz sentido mas não dá pra negar que atrapalha a falta de informação pelos cantos. Achei bem aproveitado o tempo. De personagem só torci pela Marlena. É um ótimo filme que se perde por detalhes mas o resultado é positivo.

Do I hate found footage? Maybe not before but now I do. These people have not an ounce of survival instinct and I refuse to believe New Yorkers are like that. Whyyyyy are they still following Rob fuck that guy, and while I’m at it fuck Hud too. Super cool premise and monster design. Disappointing because I love the other Cloverfields.

Allora da dove inizio: La telecamera a mano rende sicuramente tutto più realistico e immersivo, ma cristo santo, so che stai scappando da un mostro enorme ma se il tuo obbiettivo è tenere una prova di quello che vedi,tienila ferma ogni tanto. Anche quando il protagonista si ferma per riprendere qualcosa, riesce comunque a inquadrarla storta, male o completamente da un’altra parte. E poi la trama: il nostro eroe, pur di salvare la ragazza, decide di mettere costantemente in pericolo…

I didn’t enjoy this as much as I wanted to, but I also wouldn’t say that I hated it. There were definitely some parts that I thought were interesting and well done, but overall the film just didn’t fully keep me interested. One thing I did like was the found footage style. At first, I thought it made the film feel more realistic because everything is shown from the characters point of view. It makes the destruction and panic feel…

Ce film est un incontournable. Le style caméra au poing donne vraiment l’impression d’être sur place, de fuir avec eux et de vivre le chaos en direct. L’ambiance est très intense, le suspense ne lâche jamais et la peur reste omniprésente du début à la fin. Après, il y a aussi les défauts du genre, les mouvements de caméra parfois, c’est compliqué. Mais pour moi, c’est un excellent film qui prend aux tripes.

I heard a theory that Clover Field had a connection to The End Of Oak Street that came out this year. That had me thinking, of how cool it would’ve been being sent back 65 million years ago, AND there’s a kaiju the characters had to survive. I love how 95% of Hud’s dialogue is just ROB!

People running away the movie. Really enjoyed watching this film Such a time capsule to look back with all the late 2000s tech and fashion. CG is great for the tame, maybe could have seen a bit less of the monster. Could have cut a few running away scenes. The only thing I can knock it on is that I waited 18 years to watch it and if I had watched it back then, I wouldn’t have already seen a few things like it. But that’s not the movies fault.

Just a solid found footage monster movie, I think all the monster scenes are pretty horrific, the only thing holding the movie back is TJ Miller having most of the dialogue, I enjoyed pretty much all the characters except for him.

2028 I hear you and I see you but if we don’t get Cloverfield 20th Anniversary in IMAX it’s gonna be a problem. I fear it’d be one for the fucking ages. There’s one specific shot near the end that I’m certain would kill me right there in my seat. Reeves made so many clever decisions here. All in on the shitty cgi. Hits the gas and doesn’t stop. Thing is barely over an hour and loaded with intense set pieces. Annoying characters that add to the chaos rather than detract from it. Visceral and frantic. Yeah I’m there!

Matt reaves you do not disappoint wow I absolute LOVE films when we get the characters POV for the whole movie, judging that this is a monster film and I do love these type of plots/films I was instantly hooked. Yes it starts off slow with the main characters having a normal day celebrating their friend leaving to Japan for a new job, but once the monster enters the city destroying everything in their path it starts to pick up…

Eu abomino o found footage. Essa praga do falso documentário ajudou a pavimentar o caminho para a preguiça estética no cinema, gerando lixos absolutos como Atividade Paranormal, Rec, A Bruxa de Blair… Ainda assim, esse filme de Matt Reeves consegue entregar coisas que eu admiro muito mais do que a concorrência. A forma como ele captura essa sensação de fim de mundo, funcionando também como um reflexo dos traumas e do pânico gerados pelo 11 de setembro. O problema é…

Cloverfield is one of those movies I can appreciate far more than I can actually love. It lives in a genre that has never really been my natural habitat. Found footage, creature features, shaky handheld cameras and the whole “you are there while everything goes to hell” approach aren’t usually what I reach for when I want to disappear into a film. I tend to gravitate toward something darker, stranger and more psychologically rotten the kind of horror that crawls…
- Synopsis
- 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.
