I saw this on friday night. I think the movie should have ended right when she saw the ship. The entire scene after that seemed to be way over the top and honestly didn't add much value for me.
Watched it again with different people the other day. Just as entertaining the second time. Also pretty fun watching people who haven't seen it get shocked from a few of the key scenes. It's one of those movies that doesn't feel like an hour and 45 minutes. Perfectly paced and edited.
Saw it last sunday, had a very good moment! The heroine's feelings are thrown up and down, so are the viewers' And I confirm: Goodman is excellent.
Yeah, I'm bumping an old thread. It just hit Redbox not that long ago, so I finally saw it. Liked the tension, but hated the ending (even though I had it spoiled somewhat beforehand by seeing info on the original script). It's not that it left too many questions open, it's that it was just badly scripted. I would have had a completely different opinion if they: Spoiler made the dog-like alien that came out of the fields more like the parasites that dropped off the big monster in the first. That would have at least tied the two films together some. As it is, I don't see this as a spiritual successor or "sister" film as JJ put it. And why the hell wouldn't there have been a gas mask or hazard suit laying around that place?
That's what "spiritual" means - that there's no material/physical proof binding them together. Only an invisible, "spiritual", connection.
I know what spiritual means and this movie doesn't qualify. There is no associate whatsoever, aside from the mailbox.
You're confusing "spiritual" and "material". A specific type of alien AND a mailbox are both material.
No, I'm saying there is no spiritual connection AND the only material connection is the mailbox/address. Stop trying to pick a fight.
I saw this a few weeks ago with a friend. We both saw Cloverfield the first night it premiered and loved it so we were pretty stoked to watch 10 Cloverfield Lane together after all these years. Our opinion was the same: Nothing happened... But for some reason it was great! Really the overarching theme of the film we both got from it was that it definitely confirmed that the events of the first film happened, and that was about it. The intensity of the characters, the questions you ask, the situation they're all put in which makes you rack your brain trying to figure out what was going on... The delivery on this film was excellent. I've never felt like this with a film though because as I said, I liked it! I thought it was great, but really nothing happened which was worth mentioning, aside from what I said earlier in which they confirmed that the events of Cloverfield happened. Not sure if anyone else felt this, but we got so sucked into the film that we lost track of time. At one point we checked the time and saw that we were about 45 minutes into the film. Both of us were shocked as we felt like only 15 minutes had passed.
Glad to see people are still seeing it. With how much money it made back from its tighter budget, I'm sure another one is in the works. I'll be there day one to check it out.
