J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield Questions

[MGS4-SS]

$30 for the DVD version? What the ****!

I would give $30 for the BluRay edition, but for a SD DVD? Hell no!

Though the multiple endings are quite interesting, they got me intrigued.

isn't the second clip the original ending :s

[scaramonga]

Heap of crap!

Watched it tonight and wish I hadn't......it depressed me as to how bad this way of filming has become. It worked with 'Blair Witch', fair enough, but this don't.

1. Its short (85mins), so that's good :).

2. What military unit would allow filming when any operation was going on? - The camera runs.

3. What camera could withstand, last on battery, last on memory, all that nonsense? - The camera runs.

4. Nightvision on hand cams? Must have been an awful expensive one (and 'black box' material) lol.

Not to mention that everything's getting ripped apart, people dying, friends etc. and one manages to keep filming no matter what......lol!

Tosh!

[panicswitched]

yea 2nd clip was original unless they changed it ever so little somehow

Yeah, its quite unfortunate that Paramount hasn't opened back up to Blu-Ray yet.. I was really hoping they would have started releasing by now again.

On further inspection your right :laugh:

Oh well at least the first one was alternate!

****ing christ. Can't imagine how much you would complain about Shrek because it's not "real" enough for your taste.

Movies are meant to entertain, not mimic your everyday life.

We live in a world of 'reality', effects are done to make one believe this could or is happening. IMO the movie is let down by the faults I have described.

Shrek is not meant to be real, its amazing and actually more credible because its not :).

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there are quite a few camcorders with low light shooting. Sony's Nightshot mode for example, even on the $300 - $400 range units. Also, you must not have ever heard of extended life batteries, which give you on some models up to 8 - 14 hours of shooting. I've dropped my camcorder on many occasions, pretty damn durable too.

Pretty sure you could get an affordable night vision capable cam for the past 10 years.

And also I've seen plenty of people that live their lives with a cam attached.

While it might not be like your life, it is definitely possible in every way.

@2. I'm pretty sure the military's number one priority wouldn't be telling them to shut off their camera, it would be with handling the evacuation and taking care of the, um, huge ass monster attacking the city

@3. As you said, the movie is 85 minutes long, my camcorder gets about 4 hours battery life, sounds do-able to me.

@4. It wasn't true nightvision, it was an infared light, and most if not all cameras have this ability for low-light settings.

I mean, if we want to argue reality, lets argue the monster attacking the city, not the camcorder.

And held it firm when your life is at stake, not to mention those around you that have been killed, but you'll just keep on filming? lol!

OK :)

[QuantumTrickery]

Reporters do it all the time when out with the military, why couldn't a normal person? Its not like they magically fall off your hand. I know I could go jogging with mine. Sounds like you're complaining just for the sake of complaining.

I ain't complaining. Just giving my view of the movie, we are all entitled to a view surely?.

[sundayx Veteran]

Their website just screams multi-touch.

BTW that's not a Dharma logo, just a taoist symbol. Buddhism I say!

[MGS4-SS]

The monster probably will move onto another continent, or all the Navy boats are shooting at the shore.

I hope the second one is as good as the first one :D
