Registered 7 years agoI remember JJ or someone a few years ago taking about the premise of a film set in space while the world gets torn up. Seems this is the product of that. Or not, I haven't seen it, just know it's in space. -

Registered 5 years agoIt was all over the place. Thought it was going a bit ‘Event Horizon’, then we had ‘Gravity’, but eventually it was mostly ‘Fantastic Four’.
B movie, in my opinion. Would’ve fitted into Black Mirror, as the ‘shit episode’ in a series. The last monster was ridiculous. -

Of everything wrong in the movie, this one annoyed me the most.
"IT COULD BRING UP GIANT MONSTERS FROM THE SEA" was a weirdly specific line.
I mean, you could LITERALLY guess anything. An infinite number of possibilities, beyond the scope of the human imagination.
What are the odds of "could bring up giant sea monsters"? Go play and win the lottery x10 over with that kind of luck. -

Registered 18 years agoI kind of enjoyed it, It was an odd mishmash of films and themes, what did they tell the actors?
Chris O'Dowd. Think Spaceballs
Arm. Channel the Adams Family.
Russian Guy. Are you familair with Event Horizon?
Hamilton. It's a bit like Alien.
Hamilton's Husband. It's Days of our lives with a twist!
Chinese Physicist: Just speak Chinese Ker-Ching ¥¥¥¥!
German Physicist: Think The Ipcress File but in space!
David Oyelowo - Have you seen Gravity? -

The bloke being interviewed on the news channel that said it was all going to shit said things could be triggered across time. You're thinking too linearly, puny human.

It wasn't. The original was set in 2008, this was set in 2028, so them making it seem like it was concurrent was ridiculous. The only vague "origin" they have is "I guess weird dimension stuff happened".
Wait - The original Cloverfield never appeared to be happening during a worldwide energy crisis.
