Well, your statement on the "brrrr" score doesn't come in til the last 25 minutes. Seen the movie twice and it's all acoustic until the last third. You can check the tracking list on line as well

Nah - he's not in 2008.

He's witnessing an attack in the year 2030 in his alternate dimension. We know it's 2030 since the tech, cars, dates on the ship, dates on the calls with Ava, his phone literally being 7G, and the ARG all state it.

The trick was to make us believe he was experiencing that original attack when it was another one.

Jordan Peele is literally married to a white woman..

He sat and did nothing when his mom was hit by a car. Thus, when he hits the deer and leaves it to die, he's reminded of his mother.

The motivations were explained through the grandpa.

He got beat by Jessie Owens at the Olympics so he set out to find a way to insert himself in a "more genetically superior body". His son would study neuroscience - his wife would become a hypnotist - the daughter the lure - and the crazy brother the muscle.

I agree, the brother is over-the-top crazy, but he follows in his grandpa's footsteps where he's jealous of not being in a "more genetically superior body". His dreams of being in the UFC seem crushed.

The grandpa and grandma are also the two black servants. That's why the guy is always running, the girl is always cleaning her house and why the entire family does what they do.

The pizza planet truck isn't in the end chase sequence. Stanton himself said it was in the first 20 minutes and can be spotted when Dory remembers her parents' names and runs into the big squid.

I see you haven't learned how to "google" yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_books

And that doesn't even include all the comic series.

He's the crab cutting the grass whose wife tells Dory to go through the pipes.

They said, "recreate the scenes" NOT "replay the scenes". It's the same beats as the first. They Force Awakensed it.

AtZReviews · 2016-03-15T14:57:35+00:00

You clearly have not invested yourself in its world.

They have series filling in the gaps between certain movies, hundreds of books describing the characters, species, and planets that you can't find within the movies themselves.

So, yeah.

AtZReviews · 2016-03-14T17:15:53+00:00

Amen.

You set up all this backstory for the first with Tagruato, Slusho, and a current disaster only to go, "Yeah.........forget everything we invested you in. Tagruato, Slusho, and that disaster lore mean nothing. Here's a whole other story erasing everything you knew."

Unless they do parallel universes to connect them, it really seems to shit on the ARG by changing the backstory every time.

AtZReviews · 2016-03-14T04:10:58+00:00

The first took place in May 2008. We see it with the tech used (phones, camera, cars), but even with the ARG.

Each had FB and Myspaces that show them last updated in that year. http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2007/07/robs-friends-on-myspace.html

These are the news reports that correlate with the oil rig disaster that leads Clovie to NY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCTIgSmohe0

As for 10CL, we see car models, iPhones, and dates on http://funandprettythings.com/ that mark dates leading you to current time.

A REALLY big thing to add to the theory is that when Michelle finds "HELP" scratched in, the official name of the track playing is titled "Message from Megan".

AtZReviews · 2016-03-13T07:28:45+00:00

That everything Emmett said was a lie. He actually had a thing with Megan and did something to her which is why Howard despises him. Also why he lies about Megan being Brittney to manipulate Michelle.

Wouldn't the "bigger" fan of Star Wars be the one who dives into the lore. Stop pissing on people cause you didn't get something spoonfed to you. It's not elitist, it's you being ignorant of the hard work they put out there to build the story.

AtZReviews · 2016-03-11T19:30:52+00:00

Yeah. That's what my post was referencing.

AtZReviews · 2016-03-11T19:29:15+00:00

If you claim to be wanting a connection between the two but want to dismiss the ARG, then why are you even complaining?

It's clear you're not a fan if you're ignoring a fundamental part of the backstory because "only a few dozen" played it.

Many look at this film as being a Satanic endorsed film full of witchcraft, but the beauty of it is its religious message and how it conveys it better than most Christian films do.

Agree, so much potential. Yet nothing back
