[Spoilers] Timeline to the Attack

[clemgrad2001]

You are off by a bit.....in the beginning.

If you watch beths contribution to huds "documentation"you can see the clock in the kitchen. and again shortly after in another scene. when Rob is onthe balcony discussing sex with beth the last time seen on the clock is around 12:25. Don't remember seeing it again. Big man shook the building around 12:30
Thats all I'm tryin to say

[Transparent Blue]

I'm pretty sure that the Greyshot bridge scene takes place at 06:42, that's what I remember Rob saying.

If true, they'd have to have woken up at ~06:35.

i recall seeing a clock in the subway station in the background that said it was 3:17. i cannot remember if this was before or after rob got the call, and whether it was before or after makes a big difference in the sequence.

in any case, that makes everything kind of tight in terms of time:
this means that in around 2.5 hours, they would have had to wander down the tunnel, hang out in the break room, meet the soldiers, walk across town, scale 50 stories, come back down, and find the choppers. i guess now that i think about it, it sort of fits.

either way, the timeline was one of the things i thought about the most and i look forward to this thread building!

(edited to take out the spoiler. it was annoying and people got their fair warning)

Gonna be going to see the movie again this evening get a better sense of things without just looking at it wide eyed.

Thanks for the contributions, and I'll keep it coming on touching up this early timeline to make sense =)

10:38 Beth's breakup with rob via Hud's camera
12:11 Jason pulls Lily into the kitchen with Hud
12:18 Lily tells Jason and Hud about Rob and Beth
3:17 Rob recieves phone call from mom in subway
6:42 Rob checks his watch and does his goodbye speech

(Of note: Right afte the helicopter crash you can hear the radio: "Hawkeye-6, target is still active, initiating Hammer-Down. TOT 15 minutes. Sirens will sound 2 minutes out." When Rob first attempts to make his speech you can hear the sirens start.)

5am after scene in the tunnel, where they find the military and they are taken in.

I believe the monster must have carried the head inland. It doesn't make sense for the monster to rip off the head at Liberty Island, throw it four miles, then show up a 40 seconds letter to destroy the Woolworth building.

I think we're left to assume the explosion was the tanker, due to the fact that we saw it engulfed later on. I don't understand how the tanker would still be in tact though after a giant explosion like that. Plus, wouldn't it need some type of ignition to explode? Maybe the big explosion was an offspring of the tanker fire?

Honestly I don't even think Reeve's and Abrams know. I think they just stuck it in the trailer for effect without thinking it through.

theres a new description of the monster... creepy people sucking underbelly... I do beleive this monster has abilities that have not been showed. I think theres some sort of suction appendage below like the suction cups of an octopus that shot the statue head and shot all that debri in chuai... just my 0.02

You mean from this part?

Staff Sgt Pryce: "The building, it's at columbus circle?"
Rob: "Yea"
SSP: "If you wanna go out in this, I ain't gonna stop ya. But you gotta know somethin, the government is considering the Hammerdown protocol. Which means they're willing to let this whole area go."
Rob: "What, you mean midtown?"
SSP: "No, I mean Manhatten. Come on. We're taking one last shot at this thing, if that doesn't work they'll level the whole goddamn city. Your watch is still workin?"
Rob: "Yea"
SSP: "Alright, they're leaving from 40th and Park. Last chopper wheels up at exactly 0600. If you can make it there then they'll get you out."
Rob: "Ok, thank you."
SSP: "58th street is right there. Go, go, move, move, move, go, go, go."
