I often wondered that myself.

It actually says it at the very beginning of the movie. Since the movie is a tape that the government has, it says right on the opening screen that the Department of Defense codenamed the attack "Cloverfield."

saw cloverfield enjoyed it shaky cam tiresome by the end. I will say I think bluray is clearer than the theatre. Maybe they needed to focus the camera or something but come on 40 bucks to take my son and we have better pq at home. If theatres are going to keep the crowds they need to upgrade soon.

in an interview with JJ Abram's about the film. he said he to do it this way, for 2 reasons. The first to insure that there won't be a sequel for the film, and secondly he wanted the camera to be the person. The camera was confused, couldn't capture exactly what was going on. and told the story as the first person. yeah it was very shaky, yet the movie was great it is definitely worth the release on BD. So paramount please wake up, and forget HDDVD.

I made sure to sit far enough back, and even though at times it gets a little irritating, it's a small price to pay for the scary realistic feeling it gives you.

I like to think the reason the government called it codename Cloverfield is because when you look at NewYork from a high point you can compare it to a field of clovers and the monster is the four leaveclover you trying to take out of the field for good luck.

I just saw this movie for the second time tonight. It's too good.

I agree with what you say about Transformers. It was a good blockbuster, but extremely over hyped.
I still want to see Cloverfield though.

Great movie! I was skeptical at first. . . but come to like the camera angles (though I did get sick, for a short while nonetheless, and held my breath the entire time!). . .

I would definitely pick this up on Blu! There you go Paramount, there's your incentive to switch exclusivity! I and half this forum will buy. . .

Any rumors on this front regarding potential release date? Just saw this in theatres in NYC and I must say I thought twice before stepping outside Awesome movie, hope it comes out on Blu soon!

It's getting conflicting reviews, what do you Blu boys and girls think?

[ckenisell]

Expect it in March.

Why would you say that? Do you know for a FACT that it will be on blu? Last I heard it was a Paramount/HD-DVD film. Also, last I heard, Universal is still HD-DVD only.

It will come out on blu this year, Universal stockholders will not allow the insanity that's going on to continue.

cloverifield is a paramount production.... not universal.

[dea136]

^^^Me too...I don't get this^^^

[ckenisell]

Relax folks. For future reference, why not at least check the second page of this forum?

I need Cloverfield on Blu-ray!

Also, stockholders are generally morons with too much money. They really don't give a rip about this sort of thing.

[dea136]

i will buy!

Unfortunately, my wife and I got to the theatre late and had to sit in the FRONT ROW! For all of you who saw it you can only imagine....

Still a great movie but would like to watch it again from a distance...or in my home on my PS3 & 46" 1080p samsung

There are 3 different reasons.

1. The military operation to stop the monster was called Cloverfield
2. The monster left footprints that looked like clovers and New York (what's left of it) would look like a field of clovers from above.
3. Cloverfield was a nickname for a street near J.J. Abrams office

Seriously, anyone who has ever seen this movie needs to see this: http://imdb.com/title/tt1060277/faq (So many questions answered here) There are obviously spoilers in the link.

I never new about the real life "Bloop" incident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop (Check out the cool sound clip)

Although contrary to what someone else posted, there is talk of a sequel, even among the creators. I heard it would be the same event from a different point of view.

I didn't mind the hand-held camera style, it's something different and really lets you experience the events like you are really there.

This movie is an instant buy for me on Blu. Come on Paramount, you know you want to.

As you can tell, yes I really liked this movie.
