but I really liked the relationship stuff in the beginning of the movie, and even though I knew it was a monster movie, I was disappointed when the monster stuff started happening.

It sets it apart from other Kaiju/ found footage movies. What I found interesting was all the lore behind the film that you had to scour the internet to find.

same. Im also in the minority to like the film though, even with the over saturation that happened, cloverfield is one of the few movies that feels like youre watching a group of people instead of a movie. Their chemistry was a huge part of that I feel

Loved this movie and all its sequels too. Yes even Paradox. I know that 10 Cloverfield Lane got praise for the most part (and rightfully so, its great), but I never really understood why everyone hated Cloverfield Paradox.

I remember when Cloverfield Paradox came out, I went to Netflix and saw it blind, loved it and couldnt wait to discuss it with others online. Then it just blindsided me that apparently everyone absolutely hated it. Such a depressing feeling.

I feel like a missed a lot of that movie, it felt like a generic found footage film.

All I remember is that scene where they're at an electronics store and complaining about their battery dying or something like dude grab one off the shelf

Haven't seen Paradox yet though

I mean, thats what made us actually give a shit about the characters, so I dug it.

Such a great movie. Its mind boggling to me that it never had a proper follow up.

This. I remember getting nervous watching it in the theater and thinking this was going to be the bulk of the movie.

For 2008, it didn't feel generic.
