I have seen a couple previews and it looks decent, anybody have any insight to what its about?

I haven't heard anything about it but the commercials of it reminded me of the blair witch project. With some home movie like shots.

I have no clue what it's about, despite seeing several hundred commercials on TV for it. That makes me happy. Finally, I can go see a movie and be completely surprised.
Thanks for the link 14, that was awesome!!!

I'll tell you one thing, if Lost is anything to go by, it'll take 5 sequals for this movie to have a real ending

This movie should be worth watching.

yeah i want to see that movie for sure. it's suppose to be about a monster attack on New York and it's done in the Blair Witch first person mode.

I can't wait to see it.

I heard that the idea was something like: it's time that America had it's own giant monster. I mean honestly, how long can we go importing giant monsters from Japan? Ever since King Kong became obsolete, we have lost the edge in getting crushed and eaten...

I keep seeing the commercials and I have no idea what the hell it is about!

Lol True.. I wonder what type of monster it is?

SPOILERS!!!!










Supposedly, it's a giant Lizard/Fish That was mesed with when a company that makes special Slushes called "Slusho". Everyone supposedly dies and you never really get a good look at the monsters but these weird bug things come off and bite people, IE The women expanding and crying blood in the trailer.

I will be so pissed if they never show the creature...

I think it'll be kept hidden until the last scene, where the truth will come out. Smoky got off the island!

I can't wait to see this movie. I've spent a long time tracking it through forums and such, so in my book it has a lot to live up to.

What a geek...

I do not deny it.

Yeah, its about:
A party in NYC is interrupted when a giant monster (as tall as a skyscraper) decides to take a big bite out of the big apple. They also said that they won't show the monster either. Drag.

I watched the trailer and it looks chaotic. I won't go and see it for that reason alone. I don't want to sit through 2 hours of shaky cameras and people running around in a panic.

And no monster will be seen to boot. Yeesh.

Cryticman has the best explanation so far. IMDB doesn't tell you anything. I also had a feeling from the very first time I seen the trailer that you will never get a good look at the monster. A lot of people are comparing it to Blair Witch because of the shakiness of the cameras, I compare it because of never seeing what is scaring the crap out of you.

LOl can't wait to see it.

It's a JJ Abrams movie. This was the guy who gave us Polar Bears on a tropical island and had us believing it was ok. Give him a decent budget and 2 hours of tape and absolutely anything is possible. I'll definately be watching this one, whether I get to see the monster or not.

My thoughts exactly, he knows how to make anything work. Besides, you see the monster, it's in some of the trailers. It's green and skyscraper size.

Are people actually getting to see this movie this early?

I'll believe they won't show the monster when I sit through the movie and don't see the monster. Unless it has been confirmed by the film company or J.J. Abrams, which I will need a link.


Edit: Here's an interview with the films director saying there is a monster shot...

http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=4027

In there he says
"...But you will absolutely see everything - and you will see the monster in very intimate detail. You will get a very close look. People who have seen the trailer might think we are using this style to avoid seeing the monster, but that is definitely not what we're doing. We're using it to build dread and anticipation..."

here's a forum dedicated to the movie 1-18-08news.com/forum tell them King John sent you

It looks like it will be a let down.

I hope not.

Im definately going to see it. I wish it was out now I need to know what the monster looks like BAD!

It actually looks really good.

From what I have read, it's about a group of people at a party, filming the party with a handheld video camera, when a giant creature of some kind attacks. They keep the camera going, filming the whole experince. I've heard all they show of the monster are shaky glimpses with the camera as it ducks in between buildings and such. Looks like it should be good, even if we never get a clear shot of the creature.

I heard that many of the main characters buy it; that you never know who will make it.

What I want to know is this though: were any giant monsters hurt in the making of this film? People, have a heart, giant, rampaging monsters have feelings too!

No the monsters were not hurt and Let's see the monster!!! When I watch the previews I see the shadow of the monster..

the directors said he was going to show the monster a lot in the movie i think its a sea monster i heard the monster might be cthulhu

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu

It's not Cthulhu, Godzilla or any other pre-existing monster. It is new and unique, J.J. Abrahams confirmed this awhile back.

lets hope its good. I hope the hype lives up to it. and i hope i dont get sick with all the shackin of the camera

your probably right but what ever the monster is it better be cool

Yea i am very much lookin forward to this movie myself.

Actually, what you might be hearing about is an upcoming movie called "The Call of Cthulhu". I spoke to the special effects director about is about a week ago.

Are you sure thats not the Chrysler building you think you are seeing. Im pretty sure this movie is going to blow, but come out with a big opening in the box office just because they left something to be found.

This friday!!

I knew it, it was just matter of time, they finally filmed my neighbors having a fight. I have to tell everybody. For sure I am going to be opening the theater tonight....

Going to try and sneak out and see this in about an hour or so. It looks sweet.

To my astonishment, my wife wants to go see it tonight.....I'll let you know...

I heard that at the end, is it really only the Stay-Puff Marshmellow Man -cloaked. Just a big teaser-trailer for the GhostBusters, 2008 film? What a let down...

Movie was great. Definitely a must see. Be sure to stay tuned for the credits and pay attention to the background during the ferris wheel scene.

Saw the movie today. It was great!

All the stuff on the net about the movie is false. Either a bunch of people being a-holes and posting stuff just to get views or it's part of a mass misinformation campaign. Either way, the movie is great, the monster is very original and IMO there will definately be a sequal.

Won't say much more other than: Stay to the very end of the credits. There's something right there.

Saw the movie, and loved it!! The creature was very original, as was some of the other things going on(I won't spoil it for you).
However, I didn't stay until the end of the credits. Could someone send me a PM to tell me what happened there??

I sent the pm, if anyone else already saw the movie and missed this, let me know.

I thought the movie was fantastic. HOWEVER....take some Dramamine before you go. For the first time ever in my life I was motion sick - violently motion sick. I want to go see it again because I spent part of the movie with my eyes closed to avoid the dizziness.

Weirdest thing is my son, who gets sick on every long car ride, was not bothered at all. He never felt sick at all.

yeah could you also pm what happened after the end credits cheers.
i seen the film on google video n though it was a graet film . if anyone wants the link just let us know.

I saw it on thursday the night before the opening. Pretty good movie. i was truely impressed. monster looked wicked. the camera guy could have cut it down with his witty, stupid comments. other than that, pretty good movie!!!
