I think maybe you have the wrong address?

So, we just finished watching 10 Cloverfield Lane

I think it's going to take me 24 hours to really get my head around the whole thing but here is my initial reaction:



First, a big screw you to the person that designed the DVD cover art, because on the back of the DVD there is a pretty spoilery image. It didn't ruin the movie for me, per se, but I did end up *waiting* for that image to happen.

It is unfortunate that was just watched the episode Ted from Buffy Season 2. Just...lots of the same red flags.

I know this was a semi-sequel to Cloverfield but all I could think about was Steven Spielberg's take on War of the Worlds, though I think that might have been because of the noise the alien ships made.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I loved or hated the last 20 minutes...



More coherent thoughts later, maybe. I'll have to dig around and find rhoda_rants's post about the movie from last month -- anyone else see it and/or post about it?? linky linky please!

I was enjoying it right up until they threw in the alien at the end. It felt like I was suddenly watching a different movie. All the same, John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead gave amazing performances. He had me so creeped out.

YES that is my biggest issue, was those last few minutes. I really did not like the creature design on the alien either, which sort of distracted me from enjoying any of that bit, which I think went on way too long. I think they should have had her just see the ship, get in the car and drive, maybe hear the radio and turn right. That whole over-the-top action sequence just felt out of place.
