    I saw a trailer for it before I saw a film a while ago (I forget which film, may have been Transformers) and I've been interested in seeing it ever since. I'd be hesitant to say it'll be a good film, but it's definitely something I'm curious about seeing. That video certainly leaves me all the more intrigued.

    Yeah, I just realised they have a trailer that shows a bit more. It does look interesting, but the camera movement will probably either make me very uncomfortable or get motion sickness, though that generally won't stop me from seeing it.

    I'm just going to sit back and drink Slusho until somebody confirms that the monster is Cthulhu, and only then can the film achieve victory.

    The Host is hands down one of the best monster movies ever, hell, one of the best movies ever. I watched it in English, and thought it was really cheesy, and then in Korean and it was amazing.

    I love the camera in Cloverfield, and the scene in the trailers where they are hiding in the stores and the debris is completely obscuring the outside and you can just hear footsteps. Creeeepy , says I.

    As unlikely as I think it seems, if JJ Abrams makes this a Lost spin-off though, as I've heard it may be, I will be very disappointed.

    If he ends up connecting this movie to Lost, I will be very happy.

    Saw this movie a few hours ago. Insane! It was hectic. The movie was great. The only problems i have is that there is no explanation of the monster and it ends all of a sudden. To anyone seeing this movie in the future, in the last scene where the two people are on the ferris wheel, look into the background to see if something falls into the water...

    EDIT: And when the movie ended, the audience got very angry and shouted, etc haha

    I will probably see the movie just to prove myself correct about it.

    The over-hype for this movie better be worth the 7 dollars.

    Saw it last night. I thought over all it was a pretty decent movie. I mean you go in wanting to see a monster rip apart New York City, and that's what you ultimately get. I thought the acting was great too, some of the best actors I've seen in ages, they didn't go melodramatic and hokey every 3 seconds.

    The only problems I really had with the movie was that the monster never took damage despite the whole movie the military pounding away at it with the highest level of weaponry they have. The monster also seemed to get around very fast and unnoticeably, you'd think that a monster the size of a sky scraper would be a little bit easier to spot sometimes in wide open areas? And I disliked how as the movie went on it kind of got a little more and more phoney, I mean a lot of the times early on it seemed quite realistic in "Here's a monster ripping through the city" and how everyone would react, but as the movie got closer to the end it just seemed to get more and more fake at so many parts which kind of bugs me since this isn't supposed to be a 'movie' but more of a documentation of real events, just loses points in my eye when the 'real events' end up looking too much like a movie or FPS (I swear this movie has FPS material written all over it). But ultimately I could ignore all that if not just for *ending spoilers* (SPOILER)If they effing told us at the end if we won or not. It's annoying not knowing if they killed the monster or if their last resort did squat and it survived. I can stand not knowing what the monster is and where it came from so long as if I at least know how everything ended.

    All in all I'd say it is worth seeing, just go in with low expectations like I did and you shouldn't be terribly disappointed.
