Was that a joke ?
The " end ", i mean. Movie would have been a solid 3/5 without the shittyalienpart.
Fuck, why did they ruin their own movie like that ?
What a waste.

You never see the first Cloverfield buddy?
Anyway John Goodman did nothing wrong!
>>67348356Having an alien is fine. Having an unarmed MEW take down a giant ship is not fine.
>>67348439
MEW 4 LIFE NIGGA

I went half through Cloverfield.
>>67348439
That was the stupidest part
>>67348439
>See that gas is flammable in earlier scene
>See bottle of scotch seen in very first scene and mentioned by Howard midway through as saying he didn't grab it.
It worked fine you idiot, there is no reason for not thinking that it was
>>67348057
The story is abou domestic abuse/l. The alien was needed to show her taking control of her life. Plus it gave it a fun wacky ending.

>>67348857
If you want something super serious then perhaps you should check out BvS.
you seeboth cars being lifted up by the alien ship, after the fucking retarded molotov shit they're both dropped, MEW's landing nose first. cut to wide shot, both vehicles without a scratch on all 4 wheels, fully functional, and MEW is absolutely fine! no injuries whatsoever! i swear i heard CinemaSins' 'she survives this, ding!'.completely ruined the great work of everything that came before it
>>67348915
10 cloverfield lane was serious. Until the last 10 minutes
It's like Trachtenberg put aliens against erryone's opinion
>but i want alieeeens, JJ told me it was keeewl
A reminder that Howard did nothing wrong.
Chaining up Michelle at first was the right thing to do. He saved her, but he doesn't know her. Say she woke up one night when everyone was sleeping and stabbed everyone. It was the right precaution until they got to know each other,
Shooting Emmett was justified because he said he was using those items to build a weapon, disarm Howard and claim Michelle as a cock sleeve. It's not like he could call the cops or had a cell he could throw him in. Shooting him was logical.
Yeah why didn't this movie end like I wanted it to end? That means it's terrible and it ruined the whole movie. My opinions are facts btw
>>67348057
it was a joke. and they're laughing all the way to the bank
>>67349046
>it ruined the whole movie.
Damn right, my man.
If only they cut just after Michelle was outside the bunker. Would have been perfect.
Kinda Portal-Like.
BUT NO, ALIENS WVRRROOOOAAM ATTACK ! ATTACK ! IF YOUR A WARRIA OR A MEDIC COME TO HOUSTON YA KNOW REAL WOMYN
>>67348439
It's silly but they established that the gas is flammable.
>>67349098
but how will they have the sequel where MEW is the leader of the resistance? they have to have a scene where they're hiding in old apartments and aliens are moving in a convoy and all the resistance pulls out m4's and kills the aliens n shit. shit would be like divergent or insurgent or whatever that cool ass shit is
>>67348857
>taking down a huge alien ship with a mere molotov
Yeah a ship that spurted flammable gas that had been established like 20 seconds before stop being such a fucking idiot.
>>67349153
the aliens are flammable. the explosive tank inside the air purification was explosive. the alien gas was not explosive/flammable
I didn't mind it but the "OH COME ON!" line when she sees it for the first time felt a bit too clumsy and self aware. Like in Fury Road when Mad Max says something like "THEY GOT MY BLOOD, NOW IT'S MY CAR?" to himself.
>>67349192
>traveling through the galaxy

Hey, we are prepared for the invasion guyz, and OH NO ! GAS IS FLAMMABLE, OUR ONLY WEAKNESS
How can you defend that
>>67349253
jesus christ you guys, the explosion from howard's rapeshed was not related to MEW killing the alien ship. howard's shit blows up because there was explosives in the room where megan was and there was a huge fire, remember? yeah was the plot before fucking aliens showed up.
i don't know why you keep saying the gas is flammable
>>67349040
Let me list of the things Howard did wrong
>Ran MEW off the road
>Killed Brittany
The other two are justifiable but the dude was already a murderer and honestly a very tense guy to live with
>>67349214
I haven't seen the movie yet, but does this happen? This shit would take me right out of the immersion. Especially in a serious moment someone says shit like "not this again" or "this is gonna get interesting"
It's fine I'm a joke action movie, but not something serious like I think this movie is supposed to be. I haven't seen it though so.
>>67349397
>I'm a joke
>in a joke
>>67349348
>i don't know why you keep saying the gas is flammable
I didn't say the gas is flammable. Just quoted the other guy. Who's probably JJ Abrams or Trachtenberg, to defend this shit.
I agree with you about the explosion from howard's rapeshed.
Even if we don't argue about the giant bio-ship or whatever explosion. The whole alien thing ruined the movie. It was a good sequestration story, with a top-tier Goodman, as usual.
But then...uuh clavurfield, uh aliens. It kills the movie.
>>67349432
>Who's probably JJ Abrams or Trachtenberg, to defend this shit.
why would that be the least surprising thing?
I didn't like how Goodman was soaking face-first in acid, probably slipping around in it, inhaling it, and struggling like the mammoth he is to get out of it, and then shows up looking like he just had a little splash on his cheek. He should've been grotesque if he managed to get up at all. It made his appearance and the subsequent chase unbelievable.
I also suspect that the real reason they had him shave was for that stupid makeup and not to show a change in his character, which took me out of the movie even further when we see his acid-scrape.
Strong woman left-handing a molotov straight upward with perfect force and timing = ok I get it, women can do anything. Thanks.
Best part of the movie was when they thought they heard helicopters and it became about them hoping nobody would find them. They should've ran with that.
Also broad looking up with those blowjob eyes promising to behave. Daddy would you like some sausage/10. My penis was ready.
>>67349214
"oh come on" would have been a perfect ending. feeds into a sequel and you save money on the cgi
>>67349478
>I didn't like how Goodman was soaking face-first in acid, probably slipping around in it, inhaling it, and struggling like the mammoth he is to get out of it, and then shows up looking like he just had a little splash on his cheek.
This so hard.
>>67349397
It happens, worth watching but it does happen.
>>67349098
>ya know real womyn
How did that come into it at all mang?
Can any movie not hamfist social agenda fads? It's propaganda at worst and at best takes the less retarded 5% of the audience directly out of the story.
Fucking gay nigger hollywood kikes.
>>67349253
>I hope the martians haven't figured out how to get here yet
>Martian space worms
Dude, it doesn't matter. I get it, you're bad at watching movie but given the facts that were presented to us it made sense. Everything doesn't have to be realistic you know
>>67349774
Not that guy, but you're dense.
That's literally what her whole character and be extension the whole story was about. Cheesy.
>>67348057
I'm glad that others thought the same.
The film was great until the moment MEW's feet touched grass.
>>67349810
You dumb fuck. Just because Goodman believed in Martian space worms doesn't mean the aliens were martians.
With the facts we have, we can't even be sure if Goodman wasn't just a nutjob or even if he didn't just build that bunker specifically for rape and then conveniently hides there when there's an attack.
>>67349786
How so?
>>67349821
>That's what the whole character was about
Dude what? She's just a non retarded human being. Do you really think a her portrayal should've just been Howards fuck slave? In your opinion what should it have been like?
They ripped off that scene in WOTW where Cruise throws that grenade into the pod's opening baka
>>67349911
If it's about stronk womyn don't make it so heavyhanded and pandering. Subtlety, faggot.
>>67349889
>Just because Goodman believed in space worms doesn't mean the aliens were Martians
Except the fact that Howard told us he was part of the military and worked with satellites (just like the satellite we saw crash in Cloverfield!) so you think just maybe he was privy to some top secret info?
He built it because he knew shit was gonna hit and it turned out he could use it to hide his little princesses's
>>67349956
Just because he anticipated martians doesn't mean those were they.
He also claims the entire movie that he's not sure what it is.
So how does this work then? 10CL has nothing to do with Cloverfield except the word Cloverfield is the common link in a science fiction anthology series?
Do they plan on making more Cloverfield stories? As I miss The Outer Limits and Twilight zone I would welcome a new anthology series.
>>67349955
It's not about stronk womyn though, it's about the characters, an artist who runs from her problems, a paranoid ex military and a simply contractor and how that works with them in a post apocalyptic scenario. Stop believing /pol/ so much
MICHELLEEEE
>>67350006
So from the information provided earlier in the movie we should accept they're from the other side of the universe as opposed to what Howard, who seems to know something about them tells us? I'm really sorry you're autistic and are jumping through hoops to make your view the only one
>>67350022
It is.
Stop being a contrarian and see what's obvious. Films aren't made in a vacuum free of influence from politics, you purposeful faggot. I just want them to be less blatant about it so it could pass as well thought out and honest and not just checking off a box next to "woman being strong"
>>67350061
We shouldn't accept either for the sake of convenience, fag-o-tron.
I'm not the guy who initially made that claim. You're both gay.
>>67349810
kek
You really love that movie, don't you ?
>first week on /tv/
>>67349883
Basically this.
The last 10 minutes should have been cut and put in the dvd / bluray. In bloopers, stuff like that.
>>67349889
The original script from 2013 said Iran attacked. Would have been better.
>>67350088
Not the guy you're arguing with but I disagree that this is a muh strong female film. It's just that she is the main character and as such is given extra luck and plot armour.
Nothing total bullshit happened until she left the bunker, the film lost the plot by that point though. It's not like she beat John Goodman in a fist fight or did anything completely unrealistic.
>>67349956
Howard also told us the girl on the picture was Megan.
>>67349397
It was more of a "The crazy conspiracy theorist was RIGHT?!"
Than a standard action movie "come on!"
>>67350238
That's actually a good post.
>>67350088
>So sick of these movies having muh stronk womyn
>Like every other fucking horror movie where the girl lives till the end.
>Every. Fucking. One.
The reason the girl lives is because they're weaker, so its an underdog. If the athletic guy, or the ex military guy fights its just a generic action movie. But when the fashion designer fights?
then its a generic horror movie.
>>67349889
yeah that's why he went apeshit looking for the first girly car he saw on the road in such a hurry so he could spend the next 20 years in a rapeshed watching fucking pretty in pink or did the invasion just happen to coincide with that happening?
>>67350238
What i really fucking liked was that Goodmans obesity made him threatening in that enclosed space. fuck. that was awesome casting.
Best part was when she is fucking clever and badass and makes a spear crutch and then catches Howard by surprise...and fucking loses in 3 seconds.
>>67350238
Female victim of physical abuse, traumatized for life and can't even have a boyfriend, possibly kidnapped and literally held against her will in a rape dungeon by an actual creepy rapist, disobeys and destroys strong male figure, uses female sewing skills + newfound inner strength to escape without the help she thought she'd need from a man (btw up until this point it wasn't so bad), then le epic looks alien opressors in the eye and destroys them in an unbelievable feat of courage and physical ability even for most men.
No, you're right.
>>67350394
We dont know how long she was unconscious...
also stop calling it a rapeshed he was never going to rape her. Which actually made it creepier. Rape you get, but Howard was clearly mentally fucked since hecouldnt even consider raping her
>>67349939
ripped off is a... heavy statement. here in the industry we like to call that a nod, or reference
I'm getting tired of reading this same stupid opinion over and over. actually ruining the movie would've been some silly twist that changed how we view the characters. that's not what it was. it was just "oh and also the end of the world scenario is aliens, and our hero is equipped to deal with them". that's it., and if you were somehow surprised by science fiction elements in a movie with Cloverfield in the title I don't know what to tell you.
the ending was playful, it was just playing with audience expectations following the actual climax. there's no reason to put so much importance on it unless you just enjoy complaining about things
>>67350399
This.
>>67350019
>watching another film by jj "fool me twice" abrams
>>67350088
>A contrarian
Sorry brother but that show is on the other foot. You're being a massive faggot and the only way this movie would appease you was if MEw was raped and killed by Howard at the first sign on dissent, because who cares about character motivations or strengths and weakness's and development. I'll ask again, tell me how MEW's character would've been better, it's easy to say somethings shit but harder to make an improvement
>>67350399
Exactly, muh strong female would have stabbed Goodman to death.
>>67349006
the tentacles actually soften the fall like the vines in king kong
>>67349939
They ripped off that scene in ESB where Hamil throws that grenade into the ATATs opening baka
>>67350370
It's not that she survived. It's that it was done in such a pandering and unrealistic way, for example that molotov scene. Give me a break, nig.
>>67350435
SHE'S A WARRIOR NAOW U SHITLORD
>>67349786
>>67349911
>>67349955
>>67350022
>>67350088
please remember the cast and production team that made this movie. jj "this room is filled with white people" abrams. would it be such a big suprise if it did have... political motives? star wars did, and so did all the other shit he's done. film is their form of media that they use to convey messages and subtle images into your brain, specifically a scantily clad MEW chained up in a rape cellar.... oohhh baby
>>67350482
The character was fine, illiterate fuck. It's the shit she pulled off at the end that I have a problem with.
If you're going to make a movie these days about a female abuse victim conquering the physical manifestation of all her fears, especially these days, do it with subtlety. It's just not believable.
>>67350509
Oh fuck off. That just makes it shit not "muh stronk womyn"
Tom Cruise did the exact same thing in WOTW was that pandering to muh stronk men?
Not every bit of bad writing is SJW pandering. Sometimes theres just bad writing.
If you saw that movie and came out of it going "im sick of all this strong woman pandering shit" you have spent too much time on /tv/
>>67349006
The vines soften the fall, and they clearly show the gas is highly flammable to fire. There's nothing to suggest the 'ships' were hard to kill.
>>67350509
>Bottle of scotch from opening scene
>Shown gas is flammable
>Throws a flammable item into flammable creatures mouth
Wow what a tweest.
>>67350435
I'm not going to defend the alien part, no one will.
She doesn't destroy the male figure at all, Goodman bodies her when she tries to impale him. The way she doesn't defeat him in combat, she pushes over a barrel of acid which is within the female capability.
Also I don't understand why you think every women would be a complete pussy in that situation. I'm pretty sure she didn't want to get penetrated in every hole, fight or flight, she chose to fight.
>>67350651
>The shit she pulled at the end that I have a problem with
She throws a flammable object into a flammable creatures mouth lol, how is that unbelievable?
>>67350658
Men are strong though. It's at least more believable when they do it and not as obviously about a popular trend in social progressivism that we fucking know about. see: >>67350618
Eat shit my man.
>>67350703
Women can't throw.
>>67350673
How did the creature not burn when entering in the atmosphere ?

Why is the alien part stupid?
Howard best character.

>She doesn't destroy the male figure at all
>>67350673
>Shown gas is flammable
I don't remember it. Not trolling, when was it ?
>>67350735
Well chimps can toss they're own shit so lets assume she tossed it in the mouth to appease you.
>>67350736
Lets assume since they were obviously from fuckin out of space and had some decent flight we can assume they entered slowly or kept all hatches shut when they reached terminal velocity
>>67350773
It wasn't. He's just a retard.
>>67350666
>clearly show the gas is highly flammable to fire
>>67349348
just because you don't even know what's going on in the movie, i'm going to ignore the rest of your post
>>67350730
She threw a half full bottle of scotch 10 feet. Thats just...not that hard. As far as accuracy, statistically speaking women are actually better at that than men. Better hand eye cordination.
>>67350736
It was contained within the larger ships. Its not autonomous its a scout sent out from a larger force.
Also it clearly had armour on it.
>>67350766
To me the way you said destroy implied dominance, it was a gritty and messy escape with large amounts of luck. Goodman could have stabbed her in the vent if he wanted but he chose to grab her leg instead.
I liked it
>>67350773
There's a burning barrell or something like that and the alien ship is doing the gassing and you see the gas catch alight and have a lil boom
>>67350730
You realize this 'trend' has been happening since they made Maid Marian part of Robin Hoods Merry Men in the 1300s?
>>67350773
Theres a bunch of little flames that explode into tiny fireballs when the gas washes over them.
>>67350827
no that's the explosives in megan's "room". the camera goes right by the label as MEW is climbing out. 20 seconds later it explodes.
>>67350814
lel no
>>67350816
And that's why I said it wasn't bad until after she escaped.
>>67350766
She didnt even kill him. He shot himself at the end.
>mfw I realise that his bunker was too small and had too little food, water and electricity to run all of those lights and appliances for two hole years so he was obviously planning to get rid of them when he eventually got bored of them
>>67350814
>Also it clearly had armour on it.
Okay but it wasn't shown the gas was flammable ?
Okay guyz but
Megan is missing.
>>67350900
he was trying to find a reason to murder emmet since the start so he could be alone with MEW. that's why whenever emmet opens his stupid fucking mouth howard gets pissed
>>67350852
Yeah. Female and minority portrayal in media isn't huge and in the news all the time these days.
Kill yourself.
>>67350916
It fuckin was mate. the lingering gas pockets hit little flames and they went fwoosh.
>>67350745
1) "Oh come on!" Talking to the audience.
2) Makes a molotov cocktail so easily.
3) Flings the molotov cocktail 10m+ upwards into the air
4) Blews up an alien ship with a molotov cocktail, why would the part which eats things be connected to the gas weaponary part?
5) Massive alien, think how strong an animal would be at that size. Yet was unable to keep the car door open. What was it even doing? Couldn't it have flipped the car over, anything.
6) Alien was retarded (mental age of a 6 year old), yet has the capability to build super high tech weaponary (Hover ship).

>4) Blews up an alien ship with a molotov cocktail, why would the part which eats things be connected to the gas weaponary part?
Kek, same for the Death Star or every stupid "MAJOR WEAK POINT IN MUH ABSOLUTE AND PERFECT SHIP "
it was such bullshit how a tiny molotov managed to destroy that huge alien/ship thing, the explosion was massive
>>67349098
The original ending for 10CL had the Howard Michelle final confrontation, but she gets the gun and shoots him in the leg, crippling him. They then start talking and Howard spills the beans on his real wife and daughter before Michelle actually leaves. Howard says "be careful" as she exits the bunker.
She then gets in the car and drives off, ending up at the top of a hill where she looks over the distance and sees Chicago in ruins. At which point she realises Howard was right all along.
She then takes the helmet off, takes a deep breath and then the credits roll.
>>67350871
No when the alien ship goes over and gasses everything you can clearly see the gas ignite.
>>67350980

Yes it is.
But its normal movie bullshit. Youre acting like its this huge abberation from the norm.
Seriously, what the fuck was she even doing at the end by going to Houston? They wanted people with combat or medical training. We know for a fact that she had no combat training and as she couldn't even do a simple stitch she had no medical training.
She would just get in the way and be another mouth to feed.
I know it was supposed to show her character growth changing from a runner to a fighter, but it was so retardedly done.
>>67351020
It's a much bigger deal these days than at any other time in human history, especially thanks to social media and clickbait journalism. You're just a low-iq literal retard who can't even observe what's going on around you. You don't need to be a genius to be aware of how often social justice concerns are brought up in regards to mass media these days. You have to be stupid as fuck not to.
>>67350980

>>67351099
I want what you're smoking.
A reminder that the government covered up the events of Cloverfield and said it was terrorists who detonated the hammerdown nuke.
This atrocity is what made Howard want to build the nuclear bunker to protect his family.

Its funny how triggered you are by a film doing the exact same thing horror films have always done.
The only reason Goodman did the movie is because it was shot an hour away from his home because he's so fat.

that was his home.

Any images of the aliens? I've heard they look like anuses.
>>67349357
The line about it being an accident due to the impending doom could for all we know have been legit.
We don't know that he killed Brittany. For all we know it could have been his wife who did it, which is why she skipped town.
I refuse to believe that he would send Michelle into a room where he butchered a girl and did a half assed job of cleaning it up and leaving evidence everywhere.
Plus why would he butcher her in the purifier room, take all of the pieces out of the vertical shaft hatch, then down into the main hatch and then throw her in the acid? It's mindbogglingly stupid.
Why would he not cover up the "help me" message too? If he did it he would know that shit was in there and he sent Michelle in anyway? I don't buy it.
Remember that we only have Emmetts word that it was Brittany and that she went missing.
Every time Howard did something it was because he was provoked and forced into a corner, he never randomly does evil shit that we see.

>horror movie
So this was a Half Life backdoor pilot, right? They were clearly Combine.
>>67351519
what the fuck does that have to do with anything? because there's aliens? because jj abrams is going to cash in on another huge IP?
>>67351457
Jesus christ.
Imean ive heard the theory that Emmet killed the chick too, but the passion with which youre defending Howard...
Did he remind you of yourself?
>>67351459
>I can respect it when its well done
>No comments on what was wrong with it, just ALIENS HURR DURR WHAT NEXT WEREWOLVES?
If you dont want to be treated like a moron dont say moronic shit
>>67350980
>Alien was retarded
for all we know It was the alien's wardogs
>>67350022
And with mentioning pol out of nowhere, you instantly lose.
>>67351540
OF COURSE THEY WERE COMBINE!
>dat hazmat suit
>dat houndeye
>dat combine gunship
>dat Mercy Hospital callback
>dat red light event
>dat portal storm on the way to Houston
>dat MiCHELLe
Really do you need more clues...?
>>67350399
Yeah Goodmans size and mouth breathing really added to the character.
>>67351474
All horror movies do it. They build up an unstoppable foe, so they pull out bullshit to fight them off.
>>67351527
Its halfway between a thriller and a horror movie.
>>67351575
Not that guy, but if anyone is projecting it's you. He's not defending him passionately, but calmly stating clear ovservations. Also, that accusation is out of line. You're the one being emotional now.
He's right. We don't know much about Howard, and some signs point to his innocence.
>>67351575
are you 13? yes aliens was the best choice artistically and creatively. it really added to the movie when 2 of anus-looking cgi aliens showed up for 5 minutes before being burned to death so the producers could make it a 'light sci-fi' movie and connect it to cloverfield so retards like you would come in droves defending it. you really changed my opinion, asshole
>>67351484
>Im sperging out
>Now die
>Everyone will agree with me
Im sorry you get bullied at school anon. It gets better
So what were the red flashes? Explosions? Portals for the aliens to come through? EMP?
This was basically the end of Portal, right ? The ladder, the wheatfield...
>>67351692
Yup the only thing missing was a Emmet companion cube :^)
>>67351638
>hazmat suit has nothing to with the HEV suit, it's a coincidence
>the aliens look like generic cgi garbage trash
>please remind me about mercy hospital, im serious, i didn't pick up on it
>there is no red light event in half life
>lightning for 'dramatic' effect is not a reference
>Mitch-elle
there was a trailer for super 8 in portal 2 and now jj abrams is making a half-life/portal movie, does that mean super 8 and portal are connected? of course not you fucking idiot
>>67351669
Fuck you, i never watched Cloverfield. Found footage is the worst fucking thing.
Theres a difference between not liking the choice for aliens and going "hurr durr werewolves next?" The movie foreshadowed it, it had Cloverfield in the name so it wasnt a huge surprise, it didnt break the internal rules of the film.
How would you have ended it? Some boring shit where she walks outside and everything is destroyed
>oh woe is me isnt life bleak
Fuck that
>>67351745
Are you really asking me if the Cloverfield universe is connected to the Half-Life Universe? How much is the 10CL marketing paying you to hide the facts?
>>67350658
Tom Cruise in WOTW was different as the aliens sucked him up the sphincter, he didn't throw a perfectly timed grenade as it was farting.
>>67351679
Yeah. The point of a debate is to win and that means rational people will agree with the winner.
You're only making yourself look worse. Not only are your arguments weak, but you're making yourself out to be deeply dislikable. Keep going.
>>67350791
He's actually right, women literally throw in an inferior way to men. Even Mythbusters proved this.
>>67351804
>chell
>michelle
>>67351800
cloverfield was a movie about what normal people would do if a giant monster attacked new york. it was a niche movie with good intentions and lots of smart people working on it.
this movie is a shit cash in based on a STUDENT film and when you watch the final product you can tell the last 20 minutes were rushed in during post processing. if they cut that shit out it would be a 40 minute art house flick that no one would give a fuck about.
>foreshadowed it
holy christ you mean when howard made that off hand comment about martians? yeah fuck you and your WRONG opinion.
>>67351692
It was wheat field? Looks like corn to me.
>>67351849
that was easily one of the more disturbing parts of the movie. they just burn and eat people, it's fucked up. now look how that contrasts from this rushed cheesy alien shit
>>67350814
>statistically speaking women are actually better at that than men. Better hand eye cordination.
This is the part where your bait became too obvious.
>>67351804
>>67351904
Oh...didn't see that. K.
>>67351915
POP CORN
TORRENT WHEN?
>>67351853
Oh im sorry! i thought you were done with me!
Lets sum up shall we?
A movie has a few tropes in it that trigger you and you blame it on the current social climate.
These tropes have been demonstrably present in its genre since its inception. And the general trend is older than our current ideas about fiction.
So you're wrong. You can dislike the tropes, but saying that they exist in this film, a fucking horror flick, due to SJW influence is just tilting at windmills. Watch any other MEW horror film the same shit happens
I wonder if there was some /pol/ wanker back in Athens complaining about how Athena is a war goddess when we know women cant fight. Or Sekhmet being a warrior.
>Now die
>>67351979
well done. i'd pat you on the back if i could
At what point would that throw be unrealistic to you guys? If it was a 70 year old woman throwing it 100 yards into a basketball hoop?
I guess the throw in the movie was realistic and not cheesy as fuck in comparison.
Does whisky even work as a molotov? I thought the alcohol was too low for it to work like that, which is why they are usually made out of fuel.
>>67351979
A volatile mixture of wrong and mad.
Not that guy, but I want you to die now too.
>>67352030
wouldn't it be better if it just swallowed her molotov first and then she hopped out or anything other than what they had written?
seriously, they must have come up with this shit in 15 minutes and went and shot it
>>67351909
Cloverfield was a cash grab combining the cheapness of found footage and the sharp uptick in their popularity. It was banal and unimaginative and cheap and unrealistic to hold onto its money saving conceit of found footage
This movie is people having fun with anidea.
>Its a STUDENT FILM
who cares? Students often have good ideas and then you clean it up, and make it work as a proper movie
Nothing about the last 20minutes seemed rushed, in fact it seemed longer than i thought it was going to be.
And yes. When howard made that comment. Its conservation of detail. They also mocked zombies as an idea but they never outright said "it cant be aliens"
>>67351143
>photon torpedos can blow up a death star
They were proton torpedoes, fuck you. Photon torpedoes is Star Trek.
Did someone say conspiracy theory?

lol no there are a LOT more ingredients needed. that's why you don't explode everytime you take a drag off a cig after you hit the whiskey
>>67351259
No, she had to be taught how to do a stitch by Howard, being guided in how to do a single minor stitch does not make you a doctor or a medic.
Throwing a molotov does not make you a general or special forces.
Guys, the weren't actually aliens, they were demons.
The end, where she runs over a mailbox that is revealed to say "10 clover field lane", then continues to drive and happens to hear a radio broadcast saying that there is shelter in one city, but danger in another city needing help, then immediately comes upon a sign that shows the direction of those cities (they're in different directions) and chooses to go in the direction of danger (because "I'm now a fighter who can defeat a rapist and alien motherships") was the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen. In a movie that was at least a tiny bit subtle up until that point (ignoring blowing up the alien ship), it got into JJ Abrams fuckery territory pretty fast.
It's like that Better Caul Saul commercial where he gives the camera an adventurous look, smiles, and then drives through a roadsign.
>>67352129
This is true. I tried to make a molotov with a bottle of eagle rare and a sock and threw it at my dad, trying to kill him. All it did was give him a bruise on his back.
>>67352088
Oh really? Whats wrong about it? Youre saying that horror movies havent always had the weak female suddenly gain inner strength and overcome the bad guy? Or that somehow, despite it being one of the most common horror tropes THIS time its because of 'muh stronk womyn'
>>67352069
Nope. They dont. But that said as long as she got the flaming rag into its mouth the same thing wouldve happened.
>>67352030
It was cheesy and unrealistic. But...so was the old "drop shelves on them" trick. So was Howard somehow not stabbing her when it wouldve been obvious where she was in the vent. So was the guy keeping that bus ticket in his wallet. So was a woman showingup JUST as MEW made it to the door. It was the climax the movie had built up to. It fit within context.
>>67351359
I couldn't give a single fuck, Goodman was great and his size added to his character.
>>67352118
GORDON FREEMAN
GOODMAN
>>67351359
Mahaaa the aliens.
>>67352204
Have you ever seen a JJ movie with demons?
Nah, this is not a John Carpenter movie...
>>67352118
nah dude this is in the war of the worlds universe because she blew up an alien from inside dude
>>67352246
Holy fuck just stop dude. You're pathetic.
>>67351436
The look like the dog things from Half Life with the insect mouth of the things that ate Andy Serkis in King Kong.
>>67352210
Now see THAT was tacky unrealistic bullshit shoehorned in. Ugh
Like then end of Castaway
>He's at a literal crossroads do you get it!
One minor quibble, Howard wasnt a rapist. I thought the fact that for once a white man was depicted as actively NOT rapey was pretty cool
>>67352246
Not bad.
>>67352299
Oh suddenly attacks on character are ok and arguments are pathetic.
>>67351519

I have seen this on IMDB, anyone who dares look at the film from a different perspective is obviously a rapist psychopath.
Kill yourself my man.
>>67352118
Oh come on! Howard said he works with satellites do you know who also worked with satellites to close a dimensional portal in space?
>>67352355

Lol, could you be any more riled up? Calm down, dude. You were proven wrong with those same broken arguments several times in this thread already. We get it.
>>67352384
portal/super 8 universe confirmed
>>67351745
>jj abrams is making a half-life/portal movie
Is that actually confirmed?
>>67352382
Yeah actually youre right. Its an interesting theory. Sorry for being a dick about it. This place...does things to me...
I disagree with you. I dont think Howard killed her in that room i think she escaped to there at one point before getting dragged back.
>>67352449

But please. Honestly.
Point out where i was 'proved wrong'

Who hasnt felt that?
Gonna 404 soon.
Verdict : good movie, shitty ending with a stupid molotov throwing scene.
Final verdict: Great movie, shitty critics and stupid opinions.
>>67353176
Me.
I liked it, but the ending went from Z for Zachariah (The book, not the film) to Skyline with a bit of War of the Worlds (2005) real fast
>>67353543
shit verdict don't ever get a law degree, you might help the justice system
>>67353543
agreed
>>67349214
this. it made me want to walk out.
the rest of the movie is played entirely straight and kept within the realm of realism. having a character wink at the audience in the last five minutes is shining evidence of some piece of shit hack rewriting a script by a much more talented person.
really everything that took place after she escaped was tiring. it felt like it went on for thirty minutes when in reality it was only like five or ten. i just wanted the movie to end and it refused to do so. all the tension was already gone when she got out, so everything following was hollow and boring.
i would really love a director's cut or alternate ending that either removes the aliens entirely or just hard cuts to credits when she sees the ship in the distance.
honestly her getting in a car, driving off, and the final shot of the lighting and silhouettes of spacecrafts would have been perfect if they really wanted to force that dumb shit in there.
>>67355624
but you can't release a big budget sci-fi movie like this with only a 40 minute run time and no ALIENS, don't you think aliens are cool man? this movie has some cool aliens i think. i mean they've got like buttholes for faces and everyone at the studio was laug- oh i mean yeah go see the movie the aliens aren't dumb dude

Things only combust in he presence of oxygen, perhaps the aliums are terrible at stoichoimetry and assumed the presence of O2 in the atmosphere would be negligible relative to the amount necessary for a combustion reaction between the atmosphere and the ships homocides. Anyway fuck you faggot go watch batmin verse superbmen
