Cloverfield review: IT WAS AWESOME!

Oy. Rolling Eyes

Thanks for the link anyway. Smile

Hopefully we'll get far, far better reviews in the future.

I googled "Magic Time" and came up with this:

It is a blog form someone who lives in cali but always talks about NYC. Thought it was interesting.

I started reading the second review on there and as soon as he started telling "spoilers" I clicked out of the page. I know he was probably bs-ing, but With the movie just a month and a half away, it's not totally rediculous for spoilers to be posted on the net.

I believe there was a news report on cloverfieldclues about how secret this movie was being kept. Even the actors had their scripts watermarked with their own name to prevent them from distributing it. I can't imagine there would be any small screenings. This isn't "Must Love Dogs" or something. Also, unfinished visual fx? What is a modern monster movie without fx? A blue screen, that's what. So, to recap, a movie company is showing one small screening of an unfinished movie? B.S.

But as far as we know this reviewer has no ties to Paramount, right?

I worked on "300" back in March/ April of 2006. We were slamming together
rough versions of all the VFX for a directors screening. This is where the
studio (in this case Warner Bros.) gets their first look at what they've paid
for, in order to set the budget for the rest of post-production and marketing.
The FX were "rough", not "missing".
And this was a full year before the movie was released in theaters.

So these kinds of screenings do happen, although they are usually only held
on studio property, with only select studio personnel allowed.

I frankly don't see where this tells us anything remotely new. If these are really people thinking they are giving a review, they are the suckiest reviewers in history. Everything stated is either already known from the trailer or speculated upon based strongly upon the evidence at hand. Real professionals in the film industry ought to be able to speak more intelligently about a film, not this 'oh wow!' and 'ya know it's like...' crap.

If this isn't BS, this is the dumbest crew of leakers we've seen. Considering the secrecy behind this movie and who they would be likely to have at such a screening, I can't believe they'd say things like this. This sounds like teenagers BSing.

It's AICN, nuff said.

Assuming they saw it, they're obviously under contract not to reveal anything about it.

One oddity: the second reviewer claims he's been following the viral promotion of the movie,
