Cloverfield (2008)


Recommended Posts

I thought Cloverfield was an great film for its type (Video Cam) In the cinemas and with a good sound system is the best way to watch it, simply because its not as scary without the loud sounds! I also like how they tried not to show much of the Monsters, it made it feel more like your actually there.

The acting wasn't all that bad either, definitely a DVD buy!

Acting 8/10

Visual Effect 10/10

Audio Effect 10/10

Overall 9/10

I'm late to this party since going to the movies is a rare occurrence, but I enjoyed the movie. It was definitely thrilling and man, that monster is ugly. Can't wait to see where else they go with it. It's a good thing my wife and I didn't bother seeing it in the theater, because she would've been one of those people wanting their money back from all the shakes. On a personal note, Hud didn't know when to shut up, and sometimes that became annoying. He probably said Rob as many times as Shia says no. The effects were really well done and the acting was superb. The monster jumping out at the helicopter, that was pretty wicked (and I wish I could've seen that on the big screen). 7/10

eh, this move was really disappointing for me!

Expected a lot more there... the ending just left you with a eh, ok. Hmm this wasnt worth watching!

I just got around to watching it for the first time and don't understand the hype. It was horrible movie, IMO. The beginning was too long and ehh... and then the rest of it wasn't much better. A few special effects weren't enough to redeem this movie.

I have to agree with this person here because movie kinda sucked actually. I didn't see it in the theatre but I think the movie was about as good as blair witch. We all remember how bad that movie was and then to make it even better they made a second part to it. Which the second part sucked even more IMO. But this is OPO that is all.

Loved the movie.

Always been a fan of movies using handheld cameras (especially if the cameraguy depicts a character), it gives an extra realistic touch.

However, for this genre, the camera was just shaking too much and at points it just got very annoying (and so was the guy with the camera).

Small annoying parts in a great movie tho.

Just saw this and I'm glad I rented it rather than going to the theater. The shaky camera jazz was cool for the first 5 minutes, but seriously got old fast...We all knew it was a monster flick going in but there were too many things that just didn't make sense. The ending left me wanting the last 85 minutes of my life back.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.

    • yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53
