Can’t quite call this a trailer, as it looks like simply a chunk of the film…
You know what really excites me about this? The fact that January 18th doesn’t feel all that far away anymore. (But I still think I’m gonna bring some Dramamine with me because all of that handheld camerawork — while a very neat storytelling conceit — is bound to make me hurl.)

Two words: hell yes.
I swear that if this movie’s MONSTER ends up being something like Godzilla then I am going to just…I don’t know but it won’t be good.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Sweet.
I cannot WAIT to see this movie. I hope that it doesn’t disappoint after all of the hype and press it’s received over the last year. Hope the monster is good too!
I really hope this isn’t what the movie is really like, because all I can say is “Super Cheese.” To me it felt like a student film with a huge budget. The guy yelling off screen “we’re at war,” the couple finding each other just when they happened to be perfectly framed, and the obvious reference to everyone’s favorite – 9/11. Please.
Another two words: hell, no.
(I got queasy just watching it here)
I got to level 40 when this game was on NES, but I preferred playing as the Gorilla.
I don’t know if it’s a generational thing or simply a bodily make-up thing, but I’ve never had a problem with the shakey camera work. I hear a lot of complaints about it, but itt adds to the freneticism, it pulls you into the movie! It’s why the “Bourne” movies work so well–it adds a level of uncertainty and disorientation that makes the stakes go that much higher for both the character and the viewer. Anyway…. I’ll definitely be in line opening night.

I agree with everything you just said. I’ve never ever gotten sick as a result of the camerawork in a movie. I wouldn’t necessarily say I have a stronger stomach than the next person, it’s just never ever happened, and I feel bad for the people it DOES happen to.
Because when done right (as in the “Bourne” films and, it seems, “Cloverfield”) it can be an interesting way to tell a story. Then again, when done wrong, it’s just annoying (all the unnecessary shakiness and cutting in Tony Scott’s “Man on Fire”). Still, I’d rather be annoyed than sick to my stomach.
Man, I seriously can’t wait for that!
I think that’s what I saw before “Superman Returns.” Not quite a trailer, but completely awesome. It’s odd – when I watch hand held cameras on a small scale, I think “oooh, I don’t know if I can handle that.” But then when I’m in a theater, I barely notice it.
I was really hoping for a Lovecraftian/The Olde Ones kind of thang, but I don’t think I’m going to get it.
Even though it’s just an extended version of what they showed in the theaters earlier this year, I’m super excited to see this. Shaky camera work and all!
To second and extend Laura’s comment:
Hell fuckin yes.
I wanna see it! before this, I didn’t even know this movie existed…WHATS ALIVE?!?!? I moght go just to find out.
I’ve seen this already in previous trailers. A monster? Aliens? Eitehr way I don’t think I can care anymore. The shakey-cam and lack of lightnig is really getting on my nerves.
Well good for you, Ceballos. You must be really special if you don’t feel sick looking at this. You get a friggin’ gold star little man. I once went to a press screening to see a re-release of Beauty and the Beast on Imax. The critics all started in the middle of the theater. 5 mins into it, we all moved to the back row. It was almost impossible to process the movie at large a scale. Watching this trailer at this size also makes me want to vomit. I don’t know what I’m going to do when I see it on a regular theater screen. Looks awesome, but my head was getting dizzy.
HEEEEEEEEEEELL YES. Laura had it right. Also…is that Will Tippin from Alias? SWEEET
looking at the pictures on 1-18-08.com i think i’ve figured out the plot. the movie is a dream, a drunken dream of the guy in the pictures. its his going away party and he gets hammered. his friends are going to miss him and he will miss them. in a drunken stage he remembers what could be a childhood memory of a monster attacking a city, perhaps godzilla or ultraman. he inserts himself and his friends in this dream and the rest plays out. thats my point of view and i hope its right.

I heard it has been CONFIRMED that the monster is CTHULHU. I heard someone leaked it.
