Cloverfield 2 – CloverFAIL

9 05 2008

The latest edition to the ‘Cloverfield’ series of films.
I managed to get a sneak preview of this film because I’m pretty good chums with the director and producer, JJ Abrams. Nice guy, but has a hard time making a good film. Just like its predecessor, Cloverfield 2 is filmed with an ‘avant garde’ handicam style, originally taken from the film ‘The Blair Witch Project’. Now from what I know, ‘The Blair Witch Project’ was made using like 5 bucks, which I think was used to buy sauce as a substitute for fake blood. All the actors weren’t paid but the director bought them mars bars at the end of shooting as a gift for being in his film. Cloverfield 2 however, was made on a budget of about 40,000,000,000 dollars. The camera they filmed it on probably would have cost about 100 bucks from your local electrical store. Taking extra costs into consideration, including paying the actors, (including the monster), paying the camera man (who i think was drunk while filming), and spending about 500 dollars on various maccas runs during the filming process. This leaves about 39,999,000,000 dollars. That’s a whole lot of dollars. And frankly, the film doesn’t live up to the hype.

It begins with the monster revealing himself from under the dark depths of the sea, coming to wreak havoc on earth with an unprovoked, motive-less attack. Pretty much he’s just angry. It starts out a lot like the first one actually. The main character, Sammy, takes a particular dislike towards the monster and sets out on a mission to take it down, one flailing tentacle at a time. So the movie rolls on, starting to feel a little sick from the amazing camera work, any movie that induces vomiting isn’t a great thing, i can see the movie poster now… “SO GOOD I BARFED – 5 out of 5 carrot chunks”…. To cut a really long story short, the monster smashes about town as he does in the first, just this time he breaks even more stuff, and the end is wide open for another squel, I’m not sure i can sit through another one… bit of closure would be nice….

5 out of 5 carrot chunks *barfs*
