I saw it twice.

I went in thinking that even though it was going to be a crappy movie, I'll enjoy it anyways but I was absolutely hooked.



Instant favorite and finally something original.


ALIENS FROM THAT OTHER MOVIE

THE THREAT... IS FROM THAT OTHER MOVIE.


Actually it's not. I loved the movie, and I loved Cloverfield, so I looked up the continuity -- they're totally different universes. The reason for the crossover title is, it's got a similar 'vibe' with Cloverfield -- in that it's a big-scary-monster movie that's really not about the monster, not even remotely.

My take -- the first portion is like a combination of Signs (Shayamalan) and Ex Machina. Character-driven, psychological thriller, indie/small-budget cleverness and fucking incredible writing. Well directed, well shot.... fucking brilliant.



The magic in this movie is.... well, there's a lot. Every single thing worked. Acting was on point, directing was on point, writing was beyond on point, etc. The hitch is, it legitimately feels like two different movies hacksawed at the 1:45 mark and sewn back together on the wrong body. Somewhere out there, there's an alien-invasion movie that ends with half an hour of family-style dining and board games. But I'll tell you what -- drawing it up that way took balls, and I think it works. More or less. It really didn't need the Cloverfield tag, but there it is, and yeah, I guess it's got the similar vibe thing going on.... but it's confusing, and probably more than a little bit of cash-grab. BUT HEY -- this is the Avengers era. If we're gonna have a movie 'series' that's linked by thematic elements instead of strict chronology and continuity, you know what, more power to you, JJ Abrams. I'll get behind that 100%.
