Cloverfield Movie SPOILERS
Cloverfield (2008) Movie — By Nix on January 15, 2008
With “Cloverfield” set to open on the 18th, a meager 3 days away, the reviews are starting to flood in. I have yet to read a review where they spoiled everything for you, but I finally stumbled across one at UGO, who has seen the movie and was nice enough to SPOIL pretty much everything about the movie for us. Really, SPOILERS APLENTY. Don’t read on if you don’t want to know.
Okay, here are some excerpts from UGO’s review:
Q: What the hell does the monster look like? Is it a whale with feet?
A: It is not a whale with feet. But it is difficult to describe. I haven’t seen a monster quite like this before. That doesn’t mean that you don’t get a good look at him. You do. But even still. He kinda looks like a giant gray dinosaur with creepy backwards ostrich legs. But that’s not the scariest part. The legs are really meaty and almost look human-like. There are times when he looks like a biped and other times when he looks like a quadruped. He has a lizard-y face and he’s got sacs up by his temples when he breathes (I guess.) He also has some whippy tentacle arms that fly at you when you try to cross the Brooklyn Bridge.Q: Do you ever find out what the monster is?
A: Not really.Q: Does it end all lame like The Sopranos or does it have a real ending?
A: A little of both. You never learn what happens (everything you see is “discovered tape”) in the larger world, but you learn what happens to the characters you’ve been following.Q: What happens to the characters we’ve been following?
A: Everybody dies.Q: Oy vey!
A: But they find love.Q: What does Slusho have to do with the movie?
A: Nothing. Some dude wears a Slusho T-Shirt. Then he gets killed by a monster.
And finally, yes, it does leave room for a sequel. As if it weren’t, sheeah, right.

No they didn’t. In the end I think it is, or in the beginning, I can’t remember, you see tiny little dot fall from the sky and into the ocean.
It’s at the very end, after Rob and Beth die, when the video switches to them at Coney Island. It’s on the right side of the screen way out in the ocean. It’s a bit larger than a dot and makes a pretty big splash, but of the six others I saw the movie with, I’m the only one who figured it out:] which makes it kinda cool…
Cloverfield Ending Credits – Spoilers
At the credits ending of Cloverfield, *spoilers* the audio from the video cam says, “Help us!”. But when played backwards, it says, “It’s still alive!” This happens after the end credits of Cloverfield. Assuming the speaker was Rob, he suggests Cloverfield (the monster) is still alive. This also suggests a sequel for Cloverfield 2! *Spoilers*
The Japanese oil company TAGRUATO drops a satellite (Chimpanz III) into the ocean as part of viral marketing (shown at the end of the movie when Rob and Beth were on the ferris wheel). TAGRUATO works with SLUSHO (a slush company), as the main ingredient for SLUSHO is found at the satellite dropzone (deep ocean). While searching for satellite and ingredients, they
woke Cloverfield (the monster).
People who were at the party in the beginning of the movie, were seen wearing SLUSHO shirts. Rob apparently was going to be the Vice President of TAGRUATO in Japan.
The main ingredient of Slusho apparently turns a tiny fish into a HUGE whale, which explains the size of Cloverfield. *Update* The main ingredient is a deep sea nectar.
For animals/fishes/insects to survive in the deepest ocean (very high boiling temperature), they naturally have very high heat resistance. This explains how Cloverfield is able to withstand numerous bombs and attacks from the army.
Cloverfield refers to the field formerly known as Central Park. Clovers are usually prone to grow at places after bombing. Thus the term “Clover” and “field” referring to park.
