10 Cloverfield Lane. Official review thread *******Obvious SPOILERS******

Just came from the 7 o clock showing and My goodness, what a fantastic movie. Honestly, the plot just keeps throwing you for loops. I mean, wow.





***********Spoilers below********

So if you mistakenly clicked on this thread, back out now!!














So it was obviously an alien attack. That much is a given.

But let's work our way from the beginning. At first, you think that maybe this is just a crazy old guy who has just kidnapped this girl. The scene were she gets the gas sets a creepy mood for this to happen. After she talks to Emmit however, you get the feeling that maybe something did happen(if you don't know anything about Louisiana). With myself being from Louisiana, and from them saying about 40 miles North of Lake Charles, i started to once again think that he just abducted her, and that the flash that Emmitt saw was a plant explosion, but then again, those not familiar with Louisiana would have no idea about the many plants located there.

But then again, once the woman comes up to the air lock door, i once again switched up and said man, maybe this was some sort of attack, but then again it could have been a chemical plant explosion.

When they found the earring and message on the inside and Emmit reveals that "Megan" wasn't Rogers daughter, I was like, "holy frick, this is just a kidnapping movie"

The scene were he finds the razors and Emmit makes up the story about trying to take the weapon, and he blows Emmit brains out had me convinced that it was just a kidnapping movie, and that Howard just wanted another victim.

When she escapes and the birds are flying and she takes off the mask, I was like holy shite, there might have been something, but obviously nothing chemical of the bird and crickets are chirping. Then that's when she hears the helicopter, the alien helicopter, and the explosion from the bunker leads the aliens to her. What an intense few scenes that was. I was literally on the edge of my seat.


Overall, what a fantastic movie and I hope it gets a true sequel. If the tumors are true, and i think they are, that it was pieced together from a failed film, then to JJ Abrams, cause he took shite and made a 5 course gourmet dinner out of it.

I personally give it a 4.6/5 stars overall.
