Hello. Here is today's movie. I hope you enjoy it and watch it tonight.
CLOVERFIELD
The movie begins with an indication
that it was taken from a camera found in an area formerly called “Central
Park”. The first segment shows Rob waking up Beth after they have spent the
night together and they go to Coney Island. Suddenly there is a film of a
party. Rob’s brother Jason and his girlfriend Lily are giving one to say
goodbye to Rob, who is moving to Japan. Their friend Hud does the filming. Beth leaves the party. Shortly after
midnight on May 23, 2009 [15:31 to 1:13:07] an apparent earthquake hits New
York, causing a brief power outage. TV reports an oil tanker has capsized in
the harbor. The partygoers climb to the
roof to try and find out what is going on, but there is a distant explosion
that sends shrapnel flying their way. Rob, Jason, Hud, Lilly and Marlena leave
the building and see the severed head of the Statute of Liberty lying in the
street. Hud films what looks like a monstrous arm several blocks away and the
Woolworth Building collapses. The group heads towards the Brooklyn Bridge to
get off of Manhattan, but a creature with tentacles attacks the bridge, and
they barely escape with their lives, except for Jason, who is killed. TV
shows the army attacking the creature,
which sheds smaller beasts that attack people. Rob finds a working phone and
listens to his messages. One is from Beth telling him she is trapped in her
wrecked apartment building. The group travels to rescue her, going down into
the subways where they are attacked by the smaller creatures and Marlena is
bitten. They leave the subways and find an army command center/hospital.
Marlena dies. They learn the last helicopter will leave the island at 6 am,
before action is taken to destroy the creature. They rescue Beth. At the
evacuation center Lilly is put on one helicopter and Rob, Hud and Beth are placed
on another one. They witness a B-2 bomber attack the creature, which lashes
out, causing their helicopter to crash in Central Park. They get out of the wreckage, but the
monster kills Hud. Beth and Rob hide underneath a bridge. Then bombing starts
and the camera (and presumably Rob and Beth) is buried. We then switch back to
a brief segment of the Coney Island trip.
An unusual docudrama style monster movie. It starts out like
a young adult drama , but then suddenly morphs into a terrifying monster flick.
There are some plot issues. I don’t think the armed forces could get into
position and be attacking within just a couple of hours/.
