    This does look like a really good movie. I wish I had time to go to theaters anymore. I'll be adding it to my queue at Netflix for sure. :)

    The movie opens by telling us that the following footage was recovered
    from the site formerly known as Central Park.

    Rob's (Michael Stahl-David) friends are having a going away party for
    him. Beth (Odette Yustman) Rob's love shows up to the party with a guy
    friend, she leaves to go back to her apartment early. The party is
    still rockin', then chaos as the lights go out. Everyone goes up to
    the roof to see what happened. Classic rooftop scene from the trailer
    (huge fire ball and monster movement in the distance taking down a
    skyscraper).

    Everyone decides to leave the city (Manhattan) so they go on the
    bridge, (its Rob, his brother Jason, his brothers fiance Lily, Hud the
    cameraman, and Marlena, Hud's interest.) They make it to the middle of
    the bridge. More roaring and pounding happen. As Jason climbs on the
    side of the bridge up on the supports to see what's going on, a HUGE
    tail smashes the bridge and Jason with it.

    The group finds their way off the bridge and into some tunnels. They
    figure they will go to Beth's apartment (she called Rob earlier while
    they were on the bridge - asking for help). Through the tunnels that
    are now shut down and after some walking and funny commentary by Hud
    they hear some odd noises. The nightvision on the camera comes on and
    mini monsters are on the ceiling of the tunnel. They run the way they
    came only to have Marlena get bitten, but she survives.

    They now find their way into what looks like a department store taken
    over by military planning and triage centers. Rob is constantly
    telling the army personnel that he is going to go to his friend Beth's
    apartment. Hud pans to several of the wounded and dead, then hears
    Marlena say something to the effect of she doesn't feel too good. Her
    eyes are bleeding and this alarms a few people in biohazard suits and
    they immediately start screaming BITE BITE and take her behind a
    curtain where you can see their silhouette. She doubles over and then
    explodes literally with blood splattering the curtain. The military
    guy takes Rob, Lily and Hud, down a back room to a door telling them
    if they want to find their friend they have till about 0600 hours
    until Operation Hammerdown commences (Leveling the city).

    They are now back on the street and find the apartment buildings in
    the distance. The building to the right is literally LEANING on the
    building to the left. Sucky for them, Beth lives in the half fallen
    over building. They decide to walk the stairs 50+ floors in the left
    building where they find an opening to the leaning building. They find
    Beth and she is impaled in her upper left shoulder by a piece of
    metal. They lift her up off the spike and make their way back to the
    building they came in. Mini monster attack but no injuries or deaths.

    They now make their way to the base where the military guy in the
    department store told them to meet helicopters and to leave before the
    Operation Hammerdown starts. Lily gets in the helicopter but there is
    not enough room for Hud, Rob, or Beth, so they get in another
    helicopter. Lily's takes off and the rest lift off and start flying
    away. They see the monster causing havoc down below, and then a
    stealth bomber way above them drop a series of bombs which directly
    hits the monster. They can't see anything because of the smoke. Hud
    says they got the monster and just as he is celebrating, the monster
    quickly rises up and takes out their helicopter.

    Waking up now in the daylight morning time (everything else was
    night), hurt but still alive are the three survivors of the crash.
    They crawl out of the wreckage, shocked to be alive and inspect their
    injuries. Hud looks for the camera and finds it and as he does, Beth
    and Rob are scared to death and staring right behind Hud. Hud turns
    around and is now under the HUGE monster, who gives a roar and eats
    Hud, who drops the camera. Rob picks up the camera, runs with Beth
    through Central Park and under a bridge then turns the camera on
    himself and says his goodbyes to anyone that will find it.

    It's now 6:42am and Rob turns the camera on Beth. She doesn't know
    what to say. A couple bombs come and level the bridge, and the camera
    is now under rubble so you can't see either person. You can just hear
    them. Rob tells Beth he loves her...she says she loves him.

    Immediately after she says it more bombs explode on them and we are
    left to assume that they killed them.

    *as to the monsters...I counted 5 legs, sometimes walked biped
    sometimes walked on all 5, really indescribable.

    Charlie adds:
    I think that it is very important to note the final few seconds of the
    film, particularly as the camera is fixed out to the ocean at Coney
    Island...If you look at the ocean, out in the distant on the right
    hand side, you can see "something" crash into the water at a very
    steep angle. I believe that this is the monster.

    Despite my claim otherwise earlier, I actually had the opportunity to see it in the theater. It was a very good movie. Very interestingly filmed as well. Sort of Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla without all the cheesy japanese actors running around screaming 'Godzilla' and pointing. :D

    The monster is actually still alive because after the credits you hear someone say omg its still alive. I didn't stay after the credits to see it because I didn't know about it until after I saw the movie. One of my friends told me about it...

    Wow, didn't except so many people to actually like it. In my opinion I thought it was pretty boring, didn't like it at all.

    One of the greatest movies I've ever seen. And I rarely watch shitty movies. Please check my posts in the "Whats the last movie you saw?" thread to be convinced :)
    I'm going to see it again next weekend.
    Oh, and please go see it in the cinema, don't download it or rent it.
    And my girlfriend got sick from the shaky camera( I loved it :) ).

    I already know people who hate it, so don't go see it expecting to see something great. I was actually 75% convinced it was going to suck :)

    I consider Cloverfield an "experience", not a movie :)

    Thanks for the compliment ;)
