Cloverfield on Back Order? - Blu-ray Forum

Batman00 · 06-08-2008, 03:23 PM

How come this crappy movie is on back order, am i the only person who did not like "Blair Witch 3"?

This movie had so much hype, then they kept the title Cloverfield, and the whole handheld camera was nauseating and horrendous.

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, i just think i should see who agrees with me

The movie was horrible, imo. Wouldn't pay $10 for it

Go to the store they have it in store. Seen it this morning, but passed on it.

MyBlu-rayBrotherEd · 06-08-2008, 05:55 PM

Yeah, but it's $10.00 more in the store.

I don't know who to believe anymore. Almost everybody I talked to who'd seen it said it sucked. I thought they were wrong. The very end, and I mean very, was probably the best part. I wasn't at all bothered by it being filmed the way it was and I thought there were things that they couldn't have done without it being that way. Good movie.

richterbon23 · 06-08-2008, 06:53 PM

i just picked the movie up at best buy because i had some reward zone coupons and I love it! I thought the way it was filmed totally put the viewer right in the mix of everything. If the movie is filmed normally it is just another monster movie. Don't even get me started on the Bolby TrueHD track... utterly amazing! Great movie!

Cloverfield is one of those movies that you should only see once. I rented it and it was fine, but I never want to watch it again. I don't know why anyone would actually want to buy it.

honestly you could make that case for every movie. some people just like certain movies. i don't understand why it is so hard to understand for some people.

Cloverfield is definately an exception

The movie has no real plot or story, it's simply 2 hours of visceral experience

ok and all i am saying is some peopel enjoy the experience...as i said especially when you throw in the amazing sound that comes with the blu-ray. i just always see people saying why would you buy this or that... and people buy it because they like it.

In a film industry where everything is comic books and retreads, it was nice to see something halfway original!

Marine Mike · 06-08-2008, 07:32 PM

Everyone is allowed to their opinions, but some people are just out right bashing this movie without experiencing it on Blu-Ray first.

I heard alot of people complaining that it made them sick and it was just another monster movie with no real plot or story to it.

I didn't see it in the theatre, but I rented it on BD and let me just say that it was absolutely amazing. The picture spectacular and the sound literally knocked down some photos off my wall it was that powerful.

Its really a matter of opinion whether or not you liked the movie, but you owe it to yourself and your home theatre to view this Reference Material. Honestly, it is one of those movies that I would show to NON-BD to convince them to purchase a player.

Would I say its the greatest movie of all time or even of the year? No. But its a great movie to pop in at home and blow your fricking socks off!

Wow its amazing how people consider all movies comic books. Comic Book genre is a big boom in the movie industry right now, its a genre with a billion plots and story lines. Comic Book adaptations are the greatest up and coming genre in today's society. People love good stories and a lot more people love special effects. Superhero movies offer both of that.

Cloverfield was crap, it is probably a spectacle on Blu-ray, but i saw it once and only once, i wouldnt waste my breathe on Cloverfield. They brought this stupid shaky camera genre back from the dead. I personally do not want more of these movies. Complete crap, it gets a 5.0 for video, but a .00001 for movie.

jean6825 · 06-08-2008, 09:12 PM

Ordered it from Amazon last week.. price is still way better then any stores here in Canada .. 20$ instead of 34$+tax .. the movie is original and a nice concept .. alot of people might not like it, but some love it.. its a personal choice ..

obiwopkenobi62 · 06-08-2008, 09:50 PM

I bought it on Bluray and the wife and I loved it. Did anyone else notice the monster crashing into the water in the final seconds of the movie? It was the video of the guy and his girlfriend at Coney Island and the camera is looking out of the ride they're in out at the ocean. You can see it coming down from the upper right corner of the screen. Very cool. This was roughly a month before the rampage started according to the video tape dates.

MosHighDef · 06-08-2008, 11:28 PM

Like others mentions this movie isnt even woth 10 bucks. It actually gave me a headache.
