I've been following the hype around this film for a while, and I have to admit I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Its basically a monster movie in New York, only told via a home movie (Think 'Blair Witch' meets 'War of the Worlds'). The 'home video' feel to it gives it a real atmospheric edge, the story being they find this camera in the 'cloverfield' site (formally Central Park) and it shows a group of teenagers at a party when the story unfolds. Even the trailer looks freaky - http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount ... rge_2.html

I think the real winner with this film is that they have released absolutely no information about the actual monster, other than its the size of a sky scraper and it came from the sea (as the poster hints). There are hint websites up with clues about the story arcs and the characters in it, and a hint of how the monster 'woke', but the only pictures of the monster you can find are 'fan art'.

I can't remember the last time i was this excited about seeing a film. (Princess Diaries 2 doesn't count).

That's the one Carrots was talking about. It looks exciting.

[MK Chris]

I'll probably go and see it if I've got my Cineworld Unlimited pass by then. I'm not sure I'll get a ticket otherwise though.

[Mafro]

Read a few reviews of this, sounds pretty decent. Might go and see it if I can be arsed.

[foot-loose]

Moyles has just been talkin about this and says it's pretty damn good.

I'm up for seeing it, I think.

[MK Chris]

Wow!! What are you doing up at this time?

(I'm also up for seeing it.)

[foot-loose]

I told you - I have a meeting in half an hour.

A big professional meeting worth billions of dollars.

[MK Chris]

Scottishland has switched to the dollar now?

[foot-loose]

Its 'Scotchland'.

I said 'dollars' to make myself appear more important than i am.

[Zoot]

I should be going to see this on Saturday, hopefully.

Should be good!

[Yudster]

Its 'Scotchland'.

I said 'dollars' to make myself appear more important than i am.

Dollars don't do that, they just make you think "oh, that's actually only worth half what it sounds as though its worth....."

[MK Chris]

Yeah. You may as well have said lira.

[foot-loose]

I wasn't planning on it turning into a big discussion.

I should really know better though.

[pjordan2000]

How did the meeting go? Are you worth billions of dollars/lira now?

[foot-loose]

The meeting didn't go as well as I would have wanted.

So far, I am not worth billions of dollars. This time next year, however...

[MK Chris]

He who dares.

[Zoot]

So I just went to see it.
It's good! Worth a watch!

[Console]

Worth a watch - yes. Good - I'm not so sure. The film didn't really work for me, which is a shame, because it could have been something really special. The idea itself is a great one, but I felt it was all just a bit 'meh'.

Yea, I'd agree that the film left me with a 'meh' feeling. The novelty of the shaky cam wore off for me pretty quickly and just became annoying after a while.

I enjoyed it though, and I'd watch it again.

[MK Chris]

I think a film has to be particularly good for me to want to watch it again, unless I saw the film so long ago that I really can't remember it at all.

[AndyJ]

I saw it on Friday night, I thought it was quite good.... might see it again on sky maybe, wouldnt buy it on DVD though.....

[Vivienne]

I heard on the radio yesterday that the camera work in Cloverfield was actually making some people sick - may be going to see it on Thursday. dunno yet.

[dime]

I saw Cloverfield this evening and it is absolutely fantastic!

It's the first film that I have ever thought at the end of it that it was fantasically directed and filmed! Like Chris has been saying on the show, it has a beginning, middle and end which pretty much sums up the film!

This is a must see film and if you decide to go and see it you will understand what I mean about the direction and the way it was filmed making the film absolutely brilliant.

On the show Chris and co mentioned that there is a rumour going around that there will be a Cloverfield 2 movie where it is exactly the same film, except from a different perspective - anyone know if this is true or simply pure speculation?

[MK Chris]

I think someone just texted that in, so it may or may not be true. I still quite fancy seeing it. I still keep meaning to get my Cineworld Unlimited pass, but haven't got round to it yet, so I'll probably end up paying full whack to see this.

If you either have or know someone who has an Orange mobile phone then you can go on 'Orange Wednesday' for half price at selected cinemas. The one local to me is Odeon and they accept the codes you get sent via text on Orange mobile phones so we got in for £3.45 instead of full price.
