Cloverfield, the best movie ever made in human history, and probably the best that will ever be made.
Also called: "adventure of the undying camera."
As some of you may or may not know, we (yuqin, pohting, sheila, eileen, niang, yiyi, yuyu, yiming, ming chong, jonathan, oon beng, karlton) went to watch a movie called "Cloverfield" today. The movie is just Perfect.
Characters:
Main Character - name: NA, Video Camera, brand unknown, special abilities: beam cannon; night vision; invincibility
Supporting Character (literally supporting the main character) - name: Hud, a guy, special abilities: value the main character more than his own life and would turn back to get the main character even when monsters are approaching
Random and Unimportant Characters -
1) Rob - the main character's crush, thus always get taped by the main character, however, he had sex with Beth, another random and unimportant character
2) Beth - read above
3) Marlena - a random character to show how powerful the monster's bite can be
The movie started off with a farewell party, halfway through, there is earthquake and the thrills started.
At first, the lead character(camera), as supported by the supporting character Hud, was taping testimonial for its leaving love, Rob, the unimportant and random character. Then the earthquake came, everyone in the party went to the roof so that they can be scared by explosions and be forced out of the building by fireballs.
After they came out, the statue of liberty's head fell right in front of the main character(purely coincidence, of so many places to fall of course it will fall in front of the main character, also called the main character effect). The main character, together with its diehard gang(Hud, Rob, Marlena), then went to hide in a nearby shop.
After a series of random and unimportant events, while running across the bridge, the random and unimportant characters finally got some show: Rob gets a call from Beth, saying that she got trapped in her apartment and needed help(point to ponder: it is already quite some time since the main character got to the bridge, why is beth still at home and just got trapped). Anyway, the reason unimportant characters get some showtime is for the main character to do its stuff.
So the main character decided that Beth needs to be saved the thus began going back to the original place.
And after some more random and unimportant series of event, the gang was in a dark tunnel. The gang was worried as they could not see a thing, then, taadaa, the main character to the rescue, the camera sacrifice its battery life(though never ending) to "enlighten" the gang with its ultra light beam cannon that granted the gang a light radius of roughly around 10cm.
After walking down the tunnel for some time, the filming process was interrupted by the filming of ratatouille, where a lot of super realistic looking rats dashed across the tunnel in the direction opposite to that the gang is heading. Afterwhich, the gang heard some sound that signifies the arrival of the monster. However, the light radius is too small for the gang to see anything, thus, the main character decided to use its ulti move: the night vision (it is on purpose that it saves the best move for the last, as ulti need lvl6 to learn). With the newly acquired skill, the gang saw the monsters, however, by then the monster were beside them liao, sadded.
After a series of ultra exciting fighting which was caught perfectly by the main character, thus enabling the audience to see exactly what happened, the gang escaped with only a bite on marlena, who swelled and exploded shortly after.
Getting sian rite, so I get to the main point, after like 7 hours, the gang finally reached Beth, if you don't remember her, she is one of the random and unimportant character. At first, she looked dead, but actually, she is just saving her energy for the run later. After plucking out something which pierced through beth's heart, the gang (with beth) ran and got onto a rescue helicopter.
As you know, movie cannot end so easily, so the monster attacked the helicopter, which then fell. However, main characters being main characters, they do not die as easily as other characters that don't even have names, so they survived the crash, unlike the poor pilot who didn't manage to get a name.
After the crash, the supporting character immediately went to support the main character, but sadly, the monster ate him, leaving the invincible main character still intact. The remaining gang got trapped and eventually died, except for the main character which was saved by the military.
Below are some words from your fellow OG mates:
"it make me feel so dizzy"(everyone) as "it is a very good movie"(sheila), "let's get the band to play the soundtrack"(yiyi)
However, all good things come to an end, including this movie.
The movie was so good that it made us unwilling to leave before the credits finish running, and so we stayed until the credits finish running, the music ended and the lights came on. Even after we left the place, we were discussing about the movie for a few hours, as we just couldn't accept the truth that the movie has ended.
As the movie was so good, I decided to name this memorable outing after the movie. So hundreds of years later, people will know this outing as The Cloverfield Outing.
