Cloverfield Question - If you haven't seen it, don't read!

[A1GOY]

The girl who gets bitten - does she 'pop' or is she shot?

Saw it last night, it's effing brilliant!

[thainy77]

She pops.

HTH

[Rod Rammage]

Shot, I thought.

[smilerbaker]

Pop's I thought

[Mutley]

I though she Pops too.

Bloody great film

I loved it - then again it's just my kind of film: explosions, giant things, and suspense. Worth it if you want to sit for a couple of hours with your mouth hanging open.

Seems as though we have divided opinions on the popping V shooting thing... Ruh Roh...

[thainy77]

I thought it was pretty good, not the best but not bad either, it's worth a watch.

[Mutley]

A leave the brain at the door film, great for when you've come back from the pub but decide it's still too early.

I thought she pops because you can see her sillouette with bloody coming out of her shoulder. The fact that the guys in the hazmat suits are in a bit of a panic would suggest some sort of 'chestburster' like from the Alien films.

Did anyone watch to the end? I was told that you get a little bit of extra footage at the end but it's all sound and suggests the 2 under the bridge lived. I left at the credits so I don't know.

Also, I wonder what happened to the girl who got in the first helicopter? Sequel perhaps?

She pops. At the end you see something splash into the sea, behind the two kids chatting in a cafe. The something is a satellite knocked from orbit, the satellite had some dodgy stuff on board and basically deformed a frog or whatever, which made the monster you see.

[Gun]

And aren't you supposed to see a UFO landing in the background right at the end when they're on that ferris wheel, suggesting that the monster is extraterrestrial? Great film though, well worth a watch if you haven't seen it, and unlike most films today, it isn't overly long.

Ah right. Thanks for that. I hate when they do that. Most cinema watchers will not stay to the end of the credits to watch that, I'd have thought.

Mmmm... struck me as a big budget Blair Witch with a cameraman on acid.

I was rooting for the monster at the end to waste Manhattan and take the Trustafarian's down with him, sod 'civilisation'.

She did indeed 'Pop'.

Just had a quick look and I couldn't see anything - though that may just be me being hungover...

+1.

Good film to be enjoyed on the big screen, or with a phat LCD and surround.

No worthwhile plot, but a cracking audio visual rollercoaster ride

After teh credits there is a bit of audio which if played backwards says 'It's still alive'.
Not sure if it is supposed to be the guy under the bridge or some random other speaking.
Sequel? Box office success so almost definitely.

Thanks, I'll avoid it like the plague then.

[clonmult]

I thought it was average, but its like all the worst bits of Lost - all a bit vague, you never really see that much.
