One of my friends got sick the first time he went to watch it and missed a good chunk of the movie. The second time he went he took some Gravol so he wouldn't get sick and spent another good chunk of the film sleeping.

JJ Abrams made 20 bucks off your friend. Nice. I'm willing to bet this film will play a lot better on TV screen at home. When there is excessive camera shakes and swish pans, along with quick cutting... I find it more enjoyable on a 50" TV screen.

We are use to watch home videos on our television sets. TV is Cloverfield's domain.

Sprocketboy,

Totaly agree!

If I watched my 6 year old neice's videos on a 80+ foot screen I'd be sick but at the same time I'd support her...

It will be interesting to see if the word of mouth changes when it is on dvd, and from what I am told it could be (Sigh, & a halllaloouyea!) on a BLUE RAY disk :)......
 
i think you will loose some effect of it though. like i think seeing it in the theaters makes it real when you get sucked into it.

In the case of this film... naaaa... I don't agree.:thumbdown

We are watching video on a film screen. The visual EFX people even put in video noise, rolls and edge tears to remind it's shot on video. We, by nature, are more use to watching video on a television set. It will work better on TV, also the motion sickness will be less painful for the weak.
 
Saw this.

It's good. But it's soooo Blair Witch... I mean, nothing new.

Blair Witch was almost entirely psychological and this is almost entirely [budget] audio-visual.

Both are pretty good but Blair is smarter and it was the first...

... and it was 30 000 $. :bath:
 
Actually, Blair Witch ripped off Cannibal Holocaust (what with being a faux-documentary horror film) which came out about two decades earlier. Besides, Blair Witch was just silly. It's just rattling tents, arguments about maps, stick-dolls , and rocks...SET UP IN FORMATIONS! Oooh, scary.
 
I thought the theater experience was completely necessary to get the whole effect of the film, but more for the sound part. There's just something different about a huge auditorium with thousands of whats of sound (which, in the case of the theater I saw it at, were apparently turned up to MAX volume — which made me very happy). I watched it again a few weeks ago on a projector with a couple-hundred watt sound system, and it just didn't feel the same.

I also think the film is more of an experience than a movie, which means the first viewing is incredibly intense, and after that it loses most of its luster.
 
The SD card or whatever cannot survive a nuclear blast.

They should've gotten them out of the city somehow and then one of the critters could've killed them.

Wow, the Ore trailer looks very nice.
