Cloverfield Movie • Page 14

Hm I didn't realize it did well! I just knew that everyone I went with in '08 hated it, and my girlfriend and maybe one or two other people I know are the only people I've met who liked it. Everyone just complained about the first person camera shooting, saying it made them feel sick, and I always thought that was a dumb reason to not like the film

 

I forgot about the whole ChimpanzIII thing.

 

I really need to watch Fringe. I still have yet to find a show to fill my LOST void.

 

Hard pass.

 

Fringe is so good. Once they drop the monster if the week thing and just settle on the two sons swapping universes it really finds its groove.

 

Here for the Fringe love

 

The score was fantastic.

 

I found this to be an entertaining piece of crap.

 

totally agree with the world building
his plots meander for days. lost got really bad... until they had a solid end date

 

seems like people are split on this one.

 

There was some stuff I liked in the first half-ish of this: the multiple universes thing, them occupying the alternate universe fucking with reality and creating sort of a haunted house situation on the station, it also set up a good explanation for them to go a little absurd with it (Mundy's arm specifically).

there was a cool idea for a movie in there even if it felt like a Sunshine rip off pretty often (which is whatever, I like Sunshine a lot). I just can't really get over how tacked on and after-the-fact those earth scenes with Ava's husband felt just so they could bring this into the Cloverfield universe. that final shot, yeesh

 

Seasons 2 and 3 of Fringe are all-time great sci-fi. Seasons 4 and 5? Eh.

 

Is fringe worth the watch? I'm a big Joshua Jackson guy

 

Seasons 4 and 5 had a tough, uphill battle following that season 3 ending. I remember being really disappointed because they were teasing us all summer before season 4 started with the "Where is Peter Bishop?" campaign:

Then season 4 started and Peter was bleeding through the timeline and Walter was seeing him in the TV and could hear him in his head asking for help:

I kept thinking this could be neat when we find out where he went and what he felt and experienced while he was gone and was haunting Peter and Olivia while begging them for help from wherever it is he disappeared to. Then he came back, had no idea what anyone was talking about when they said they'd been seeing and hearing him, and the resolution to the whole thing was "you're just back because a love wizard did it" and no one except for Olivia and (finally near the end of season 5) Walter got their memories back. Just felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. All that mystery and lore behind the First People ("We're the first people") and the machine and then it was just kind of like eh.

 

this movie just kinda spins its wheels and doesnt really progress the meta story and doesnt really seem to be what the commercial said it would be, i was hoping it would be a more blatant sequel to Cloverfield with us getting the origins of Clover/the monster but i guess that got thrown out the window. im down for an anthology series set in this universe but at least make it interesting.

 

I can appreciate them trying to continuously blow up the premise of the show even if didn't all land, especially as a network show almost on the verge of cancellation its entire run.

 

Man Fringe was so fucking good until the end of season 3. The end of season 5 was a major letdown. They should have let Peter sacrifice himself and die in the lake, so Walter never crossed over thus saving the multiverse
Granted its been years since I watched it or thought about so so my spoiler might not even make sense haha

 

So this sucks or what?

I thought it was gonna be a series.

 

currently at 16% on Rotten Tomatoes...sounds about right.

 

i wouldnt say it sucks necessarily its just a really bizarre entry in this series, its like it was SUPPOSED to be the pilot for a tv series but they stretched it out and stuffed some references to the other Cloververse films/manga to give it a more "ooooo what could it all mean?!?!" feeling but it just rings hollow.

this whole thing tells me there must be several people behind the scenes that all want to go in completely different directions but still want to somehow stay connected to each other.

 

Thought it was a great, entertaining B-grade film

 

I trust metacritic better, where it’s about 37. Either way, a polarizing movie.

 

Had no idea there was a Manga
