Watched it. Pretty decent flick. Not exactly a direct sequel like I wanted but it was still entertaining to watch for what it is.
Spoiler:
So that monster from the 2008 movie? Yeah, not in this. It's aliens and a psycho John Goodman. The latter of which is pretty damn terrifying btw. I believe it's made clear by this point Cloverfield is a series of mini-stories like the Twilight Zone.

Man, I mean this movie was done a TERRIBLE Disservice from it's marketing. I think I've seen like 1 commercial for it.....period. If it's good then it's a real shame that they didn't try to advertise for this.....I'm actually pretty upset about it... Of course my opinion might change if I think it sucks but we'll see. I do like John Goodman; always have.
Okay, just got back from seeing it. Thought it was pretty good. That being said:
Spoiler:
The ending sucked big time imo. I was hoping the plot of the movie would revolve around the psychopath John Goodman's "Howard" character. Instead, he just turned out to be a creepy abductor who was right about the alien invasion. It'd been better imo if the aliens were just a lie he made up and caused them to believe it.....I dunno, shoehorning aliens into it at the end almost ruined what was a fantastic film up until that point......still worth a watch though I suppose.
All in all I'd probably give it a 7 of 10.
So this...
Brilliant right up until she got out.
Goodman is tremendous.
Clearly the reddit link has merit in that this was a different movie and has a different ending badly tacked on. There isn't even a link between this and the original film cos it's entirely different aliens. There also seems to be two types. Not sure if one is like a hunting dog for the other but that's the vibe you get. The other larger one seems like a tech covered big alien rather than human sized in a big ship.
The ending is just terrible though.
