[Spoilers] So, How much did we ACCURATELY guess?
I am surprised at how much we did.

Ok, off the top of my head, here is what we predicted.

1) The creature carried little creatures on it.

2) Small insect like creatures

3) we figured out that it WAS Marlena and we guessed that she DID explode.

4) The movie ends with rob and beth uinder a collapsed bridge in Central Park.

What else did we guess / figure out before any screenings occured?

Speaking collectively, we had surmised before we were shown:
  • Beth was at the party - disclosed in the ads.
  • Jamie was at the party - disclosed in the film.
  • Tagruato had a tanker involved, although it's not clear if it relates to the lower Manhattan explosion
  • Rob is going to work for Tagruato, namely Slusho! subsidiary
  • The monster is wide and has a tail that damages buildings just by it's passage alone
  • Rob and Lily were holding the door against the parasites


We didn't necessarily have a complete consensus about all of the above.
I find notable a few things we were wrong about:
  • Nobody survives, without question
  • Hud dies in the helicopter crash
  • Rob knew about what was happening
  • The monster is never shown


Again, those were not necessarily all in consensus.
Those are just items that I think fairly represented what a significant portion of us here felt were true or likely. There were of course less popular theories that were wrong in the end, like it being Zilla, Cthulhu, or directly related to whales.

Here's my sequence of events from another thread, I was pretty much spot on, apart from a few minor things. It's all based from the things we see in the trailers, The movie lasts less than an hour after the first earthquake, so we'd already seen quite a bit of it Smile

Quote:

1. Is this thing on?
2. party for Rob (best night ever)
3. earthquake/news report
4. gigantic explosion
5. SoL's head flies into the street
6. monster walks by
7. Woolworth falls.
8. crew hides in mini-mart/ it's alive it's huge
9. Mandatory evacuation
10. they join queue for the bridge
11. footage of tanker on fire/copters/liberty
12. Bridge destroyed.
13. Army show up and fires at the monster
14. the crew hides in the subway.
15. Rob calls beth and decides to go back for her
16. they examine a map and decide to leave...
16. ...through the subway tunnels, and followed by..something.
17. something causes Marlena to start bleeding
18. Rescued by the Military, taken somewhere safe
19. they find the medical tent and the doctor diagnoses Marlena with a "bite"
20. "nothing we can do for her"
21. hazmats take lena behind curtain, she dies from expanding/exploding.
22. Against the Military's wishes, Rob leaves the safe zone to go back for Beth, accompanied by the others.
23. everyone is gone and the carriage is running around empty
24. see Beth's place (Time Warner Center is apartments in the movie?)
25. rescue Beth.
26. see Jets Bombing monster
27. the crew finds a copter and there is only room for lil
28. rob, beth and anyone else alive find another copter which is knocked down.
29. Rob and beth hide under a bridge in central park
30. something happens to them
31. camera is found in central park


I'd link to the original thread but I've lost it and this forum is running so slowwww.

I was wrong about Marlina exploding Rolling Eyes I thought it was one of those ploys to make us think she was. Damn JJ and his stupid Lost misdirections! Very Happy I love it!
