 		I just swiped it from here. Oddly, I think the person who made it thought that wasn't smoke, also.

First, person who steadied the image somewhat, you are awesome.

SECOND:



Gotta say, I wasn't really seeing much of substance (and I was one of the people who was seeing faces at the bottom, not the top), but this is a pretty compelling image. When I watch the trailer again with this image in mind, I can totally see that.

Hi people! Now that we are within the mouse's allowances, I'm not sayin it is or not, but I remember when i first saw the 1st trailer i thought this was going to be a voltron movie (ah, the old newbie days....how I NOT pine for them...), so we should keep our minds open with the current knowledge we know, cuz we could be wrong or right, never know...

I didn't think they'd actually put anything "monstrous" in the trailer, but I think my "steady cam" trick does show something in there, more than smoke.

Rhesus! I see the light! It's Jurrasic Park Bagazillionillium 5!

EDIT: i was looking at it from a linear view, but with the steady cam version, it does look like it's moving diagonal. I see...

The large, green monster in the shot is the monster. It is moving behind a building.


Then explain why the top of the "monster" moves behind the building while the bottom part seems to kind of stay in one place moving back and forth slightly. Or why it doesn't reappear on the other side of the building. Or why it looks so undeniably like smoke.

Oh wait, you're right. It's the monster. Just like that fuzz between the two girls in that pic on 1-18-08.com. And it's totally Voltron...


It's not Voltron Question Exclamation Question

We'll get a clear trailer sooner or later -- that should (hopefully) clear this up.

In any case, when the truth (monster or smoke) is revealed, this thread is going to be a hoot to read no matter who's right -- kinda like all the THE TRAILER IS FAKE posts. Razz

After watching it a few more times I have to agree.

Ironically, I was just about to post about how certain I was that the blur in between those buildings was our monster, when I realized that I'd been misinterpreting your avatar. You see, I'd always assumed with those colors and whatnot that it was a picture of a blonde elf with blue armor, but I just noticed that it's actually a rather colorful W. Just goes to show you what the human mind can do with a bunch of colors and some wavy lines.

For the moment, I think it'd be better if we hold off on our conclusions until the HD trailer comes out. If my high school psych course was of any use, I think we're simply trying to force this blurred mess into one of our pre-existing visual categories (e.g. that blurry shape appears to be in the area a leg might be in, and it bends like a leg, so I will say it's a leg). This copy is still too blurry for us to say with any certainty whether it's a monster or just smoke and mirrors.

Oh, and it actually looks more like a chicken now, to me.

 		When I seen it on the big screen, and knew when this scene was gonna come up and was ready for it, my first impression was that it was something solid moving not just smoke.

 		Starting to look like smoke to me as well
I tried my hand at cleaning the jitter; something that will be FAR easier on the official trailer when it's released since we won't be dealing with both the movie cam jitter and the bootleg cam jitter. Now I really only see smoke moving behind the building.

Animated gif

While I still think the monster was in that spot -- it's where the military was firing -- I think it either moved on by the time Hud turned, or it's obscured by the smoke of the destruction it's causing, coupled by the poor video quality. Hopefully, we'll see more details with the HD trailer, so I'm not ruling it out yet.

 		One thing about smoke though is that the light source belies that it is smoke. Those frames show consistency in the light source on whatever "it" is. So by logical thinking, I would assume either a creature, or ground spotlights that are shining on it. Would it be so crazy to think that the military (who already seem to be prepared for this in some ways) wouldn't have spotlights shining on the creature to try to coordinate its attack. I mean you are in New York (a pollution ridden sky) at night. Chances are their thinking, you can't hit what you cant see. At least for the ground troops. (Plus I don't see any of the military personnel wearing Night Vision Goggles).
