10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) MOVIE REACTION! FIRST TIME WATCHING!!

[@davidci]

What I love about this movie is that it shows that despite Goodman's character being horrible as hell, his shelter and world situation is real. You can have a world-ending situation AND have terrible people shelter you from it.

[@ghani666]

Absolutely. A lot of people say the ending ruins the film, and I do find it kind of icky that this script was retroactively mutated to be part of a “franchise” but I actually think the ending works really well. It would be a totally different film of Howard was lying the whole time. The story really only works thematically if she’s choosing to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. And the fact that throughout all of this, she becomes a “fighter.”

[@forex_shark6042]

I've seen at least a few reactions very disappointed that the attack was real. It's like if a movie is not a simple marvel style narrative where the good guy is 100% right, the bad guy is 100% wrong and it hits all the expected notes they get disappointed.

[@Scallycowell]

I loved the concept of this one. What’s worse: Being trapped with a crazy man who’s constantly going about an alien invasion or him being right about everything the entire time?

[@Demi_Purple]

Depends on how much you feel autonomy effects your quality of life. Plus, we're clearly shown he's killed before and is constantly on the verge of snapping. That's precarious.

[@Gr13fM4ch1n3]

John Goodman nailed his performance here with all of the subtle mannerisms. I've met people who talk and live just like this. Maybe not a bomb shelter, but really socially disconnected. Oblivious to their awkwardness and creepiness.

[@StunThePuppy]

Everyone loves Goodman but I would have loved to see Marc Maron in his role

[@cadehol]

You guys going, “Tom. That’s from the inside.” Is the best realization from a thriller movie ever…

[@Ivy94F]

That was GOLD!!! Lol!

[@aguythatscool]

True, true

[@MichaelBrown101]

One of my favorite movies of all time. The fact three people can carry this movie is showcase of great actors/script. The scene of John Goodman unable to see Michelle as a woman, but as a little girl/little princess is one of the creepiest scenes of this entire movie. And the fact that he becomes clean shaven/well dressed after THAT scene scares me so badly.

[@hanonondricek411]

Cloverfield was a found-footage extravaganza on a grand scale, this was a three-character play in the same universe and just as much of an emotional rollercoaster.

[@BoxOKittens]

yeah his repeated infantalisation of her is beyond creepy, especially because it's never made truly clear if he sees her purely as a replacement daughter or as something more nefarious.

[@gusfring9194]

John Goodman's breathing is a character itself

[@TheDunnDusted]

I love that this film allows for the characters to make smart decisions and its against a smart antagonist, so they have to think ahead, but the movie doesn't end early because the smart villain is outsmarting them.

[@agneskorea5000]

I liked the first one because it was "found footage" type of movie, but I prefer this one, in my opinion the story and the acting are better. Congratulations Tom for the baby!

[@nachgeben]

Gotta make due with the budget you have, so you can put the profit to better everything, including actors, for the sequel.

[@maximillianosaben]

John Goodman is just excellent in this movie. (Did you catch the Bradley Cooper cameo? He is the voice on the phone just before Michelle crashes at the start of the movie.)

[@kdizzle901]

Good catch

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

His best acting performance!

[@zenithquasar9623]

He is incredible!

[@damienjohn]

I prefer the original idea of Cloverfield being an anthology brand where each movie is a new sci-fi story (like The Twilight Zone or Black Mirror). Cloverfield Paradox is a step down but still has some interesting ideas. It was also originally an unrelated movie called ‘The God Particle’ that was retooled. I think they tried a bit too hard to link it to the first two and it becomes a bit of a mess.

[@damienjohn]

The WW2 horror movie Overlord was also planned to be a part of the “clover-verse” but the studio pivoted after the poor reception of Paradox. You guys should definitely watch that though, it’s pretty damn good!

[@michellexox4843]

@@damienjohn had no idea Overlord was going to be a Cloverfield movie… I love that film.

[@Haiyken]

But that's basically the case. The movies aren't that connected apart from the whole "alien invasion" element. Even if the third movie tried to connect all the movies with an explanation behind the invasions, it might as well be a standalone story and it wouldn't work better or less. It's basically an anthology series. It makes me think of the anthology series Inside No. 9, where the "No.9" is a visual cue in every episode in a very meta way without actually meaning anything. "Cloverfield", with the way it's used in the titles and in the movies, is very similar. It has basically no meaning in the story, it's very meta. It fits the anthology format.

[@69savage76]

I thought that each movie took place in different worlds (dimension). And the monster were like leaking into the 3 worlds. Like a portal opened, connecting all 4 worlds . Sorry if this made no sense

[@krashd]

Paradox _and_ Lane were originally different films, Mary Elizabeth only found out that the movie (and the ending) had changed once she had already started principle photography with John Goodman. JJ Abrams buys up people's scripts, re-jigs them to fit in with Cloverfield, and releases them as part of that franchise.

[@BoxOKittens]

I love how this plays out almost like an abusive father situation, with the 'father' being overly controlling and infantalising of his 'daughter' while being dismissive and resentful toward his 'son'. Very interesting dynamic to watch, as tragic as it is.

[@leesapollo]

Didn’t appreciate it the first time but watching it alongside you guys made me remember how good it was. The Paradox instalment was shocking though. I pretend it’s not part of the franchise.

[@supert5678]

It's literally the backstory of how the first two film's events came to be

[@leesapollo]

@@supert5678 doesn’t mean it’s any good

[@supert5678]

@@leesapollo you can think that, never said otherwise. Pointing out that it's still part of the franchise pretending it's not or not 💀

[@wyterabitt2149]

Never understood the complaints about the Paradox film. I went in expecting it to be terrible because of what I head. It all made sense by the end (was expecting it to not), acting was fine, writing was fine, it links the films well enough with an interesting enough concept. Just don't get the hate this time, genuinely confused by the end. It's still a lower budget feeling affair with the kinds of issues that kind of film can have, but it is solid enough.

[@kaidt5861]

First off, congrats on the baby, Tom. Still having fun watching you guys from over here in the US. Take care.

[@robcor80]

The way Tom melts into his shirts when things get stressful cracks me up.

[@donnybuoy]

As much as I adore Cloverfield, I have such intense nostalgic ties to this one. Such a great flick with an equally fascinating marketing campaign!

[@leemar1978]

Absolutely loved this movie. John Goodman was fabulous in his role. I really wished they had made a direct sequel to 10 Cloverfield Lane.

@@SirS2pendous That’s not a direct sequel though. I mean the alien invasion taking place on earth and to follow on with Mary Elizabeth Winsted character.

[@dsfddsgh]

I wish they had made an actual sequel to the first Cloverfield movie instead of dicking around with these movies like this that are supposed to have a connection with the first movie. This movie was good but give us a real damn sequel!!

[@Strumthund]

@@dsfddsgh it sounds like they are working on an actual sequel to the first. Last update was January last year, but a script is in the works.

[@leemar1978]

@@Strumthund Nice, I didn’t know this. Would be even better if Matt Reeves was directing but that would be very unlikely.

[@michaelpurdy2023]

This movie is highly underrated and is a noteworthy follow-up to the first film. While the characters in "Cloverfield" were able to roam all over New York city, this one has a much more confined and claustrophobic feeling to it. The whole premise works well because it's a sequel and at the same time, not a sequel, do you know what I mean? It's a little like "Alien" and "Aliens". Totally different in style and approach, yet both are set in the same cinematic universe. Also, a big shout-out to John Goodman. He is an absolute legend! And one more thing; my apologies to Tom. In a previous post I kind of was poking fun at the pictures in Tom's house being crooked. I have since learned that you live in an active earthquake zone, so it really isn't your fault, it's the earthquakes' fault. Sorry, that pun is truly horrendous, or is it? Carry on lads!

[@indiatastic]

There's earthquakes in Britain? Never knew.

[@fabioj2353]

The best way I can explain the connection I see from all the Cloverfield movies is this: The satellite that fell in the final scene of Cloverfield was a piece of a Tagruato/Bold Futura satellite that was studying the deep sea after finding massive Clover Eggs and the Parasites. Tagruato was pretending to be a deep-sea oil drilling company but were actually harvesting the sea bed nectar for the addictive property to put into their “Slusho” drink. It was making them millions but when a Eco-Terror group called TidoWave snuck aboard the deep sea “Chuai” station in the Atlantic to discover what Tagruato was hiding, they accidentally woke up one of the clover babies from sleep in its egg. Clover then destroyed the Chuai station and headed West toward New York. (You can find KZbin videos of fake news reports and footage of the chuai station being destroyed) The events of Cloverfield show a baby Clover attacking NY after Tagruato/TidoWave accidentally woke it up. The baby is confirmed to be dead by J.J. Abrams at the end of the movie but there were many other clover baby eggs under the sea still. This is why the humans covered up what happened in New York and continued to live as if no new threats existed. From 2008-2016, no attacks had happened and Tagruato continued to function entirely unpunished. (Freak accident by unknown creature Clover) The alien force in 10 Cloverfield Lane the. arrived to find their baby clover eggs in 2016; and when they had discovered that the humans killed one of them a few years prior, they launched a full scale invasion that we see in 10 Cloverfield lane. Howard Stambler was a major conspiracy theorist following the events in New York from 2009 and had reason to believe the aliens were coming as he worked for Bold Futura/Tagruato. There is potential for more clover eggs to hatch and lead to Clovers/Aliens vs. humans on that Earth. Paradox is a on different Earth that caused the clover eggs to be spread to every earth throughout the multiverse; due to the particle accelerator explosion. Once that happened, it spread the monsters and aliens across the universe. I like to believe that the Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane movies are on the same Earth. Paradox just explains why they exist on every Earth and explains why the aliens were looking for the eggs.

[@leesapollo]

Re: theories - there was loads around the first movie. The footage at the end of the movie where they’re at the fair ground on the beach shows something falling from space and splashing in the ocean. Some think it was a satellite. Others believe the monster came from the ocean and was awoken with humans dredging the sea bed - apparently it was a juvenile spooked looking for its mother when wreaking havoc in NYC. Which left the question to “where’s its mother” open for a sequel.

[@robertcartier5088]

John Goodman once said, in an interview, that the reason he became an actor is that he was "too lazy to work, and too nervous to steal". ;-]

[@magicbrownie1357]

The underlying creep, the unspoken widginess, the pure creepy weirdness of this film is beyond belief. A very inventive and original type of movie. Underrated by a long shot.

[@JoshuaChaney]

I highly suggest the movie “Room.” But don’t watch the trailer before you do! Go in blind. Definitely a tear jerker and pretty intense with phenomenal acting. Not to be confused with “The Room,” Mark. 😂

[@3DJapan]

Really good film.

[@rafaelsantosx]

Room is that type of movie you only watch once.

[@TubeMySwag]

I remember watching this at the movies with some coworkers years ago, we were all on the edge of our seats. Such a great film!

[@aceyinajar]

So, this is actually my favourite movie of all time. Trachtenberg did a masterful job with directing what is an incredibly tight script, supported by three excellent actors, and with some of the best editing I've ever seen in a film. I think this is the only movie I've watched where I can confidently say I love everything about it, and I'm glad you guys enjoyed it, too! It's great seeing people discover it :)

[@jarrodoakley6911]

I love the ending. It’s literally her considering fight or flight

[@aceyinajar]

@@jarrodoakley6911 Oh, absolutely. The way the theme of control and abuse comes back around to finally have Michelle choose not to run away in the end is just incredible.

[@catem3102]

"I can't, Tom!" Bwahaha. Made me smile.

[@xgalarion8659]

This is basically the structure of The Mist. The ending is also how the novel the mist ends with the radio broadcast and all.

[@shainewhite2781]

The trailer to the movie was released in the same day JURASSIC WORLD was in theaters. I saw it with my dad and we didn't know what it was, until we noticed it was a sequel to Cloverfield. This was this first time we saw a Cloverfield movie not in found footage format. Fans THOUGHT the monsters invaded the American Southwest, while John Goodman, his daughter, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead and her boyfriend, played by John Gallagher Jr, try to survive in a bunker. But this film is more than it seems.

[@redranger807]

Not Jurassic World. It came out the same day as Force Awakens. I remember it being winter and Jurassic World came out in summer. The trailer came out about 2-4 months before the movie came out and I loved how no one knew what it was until the end of the trailer. That was the first time in a while and possibly last time that we'll be surprised by something we had not known was coming out years before it released.

[@Mauriciovavel]

Nice reaction! I love this film and Mary Elizabeth Winstead! such a good actress.

Congratulations on the new baby, Tom. This was one of those rare instances where the sequel was better than the original. John Goodman is good in everything he does. I haven't seen "the Cloverfield Paradox." Word of mouth scared me away from it. I am interested to see what y'all think about it, though If you guys like it I'll give it a shot.

[@The_RedVIII]

You get quite a few answers from The Cloverfield Paradox actually, although I also don't remember much of it. I remember it has a really cool premise, I think, but I also remember it not being as good. Not terrible, but not great either. It's kinda forgettable. BUT YES, I want to see you react to it!

[@thegirlinquestion]

great reaction fellas and CONGRATS TOM!!!!

[@jksgameshelf3378]

John Goodman is just one of the greats. So many amazing performances over the years. He can do everything from comedy to heavy drama. And, you know, outside of killing someone and dissolving them in acid, I'd do just about anything to keep Mary Elizabeth Winstead in my bunker, too!

[@BrettJamesBishop]

I'm loving your guys reaction videos! Really loving them! John Goodman was robbed for an Oscar nomination for this movie. His performance was brilliant. Keep up the great work, guys!!!!

[@freeheeler00]

John Goodman is a national treasure and Mary Elizabeth Winstead is completely underrated. She really develops as a character in this isolated setting and she becomes a total badass. It makes my imagination run wild about future adventures she embarks on while battling these threats.

[@rhea-vdb]

What I really liked is that point where you wonder: it is really a sci fi (is there really something going on outside) or is it about a psychopath capturing people? And the outcome of it! SPOILER ALERT: it's both 🤡

[@sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

Yeah but the reveal of the aliens felt so off. Like we got a different movie at the end. Would have been better if she escaped, drove off, and then the camera panned to show a devastated city.

I liked The Cloverfield Paradox but it definitely has its flaws. I'd be interested in seeing what you guys thought of it for sure!

[@kill3rs529]

This is probably the most tense film I've seen in the cinema.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

I honestly wish "Cloverfield" wasn't in the name at all- it gives the viewer preconceptions, like when the bomb shelter shakes, I personally thought it might be a giant monster stomping around on the surface. John Goodman....wow. what a performance! Sci Fi always gets snubbed by the Academy Awards, but Goodman's performance was easily worth an Oscar! You guys need- absolutely NEED to watch FALLEN. Denzel Washington, John Goodman and it's very much a suspense film too.

[@kennethwilliams7731]

Mary E. Winstead was excellent in her performance! Everyone goes on and on about J.Goodmans character,but without Mary to play off it would be hollow. She's in almost every shot in the film after all.

[@totallytony]

Was so excited to watch you guys react to this one! I love this movie! So my theory is that all 3 movies are events happening around the same time. For instance, whilst she was getting involved in that car accident, New York was under attack and part of the event’s in paradox were taking place.

How do they steal it? It is very acting heavy. A movie like this rides on acting mainly. So are you just talking out of your ass because you ran out of praise?

[@LibertineDeSade]

@@Gnossiene369 I get it: how do the main actors "steal" the movie when they are literally the main characters? But, there was no reason to snap out on the original commenter like that, you need to chill. It's really not hard to express your opinion or even incredulity without being mean to people.

[@aelynb]

I remember seeing the trailer of this movie not having a clue what Cloverfield was so I watched it with my brothers in our living room, totally ignoring it wasn't _just_ a movie about a girl potentially being kidnapped and we were blown away by the ending, like, I'm still in awe. I think the experience was so much better because we were watching it without context.

[@GianaManetheren]

I did see the Cloverfield Paradox, but don't remember much of it. I think it was kind of a prequel to the Cloverfield one, but I'm not sure. I would like to see your reactions though. I still think the first one has the best reviewability value. This one looses a bit of it's glamour once you know where it's going.

[@billrovnan8573]

Love that an 8.4 is a very solid rating for you guys. Yes, you should watch "Paradox." If the first is a found footage "monster" film and "10" is a thriller, then "Paradox" is a true science fiction film that happens to fall into the Cloverfield universe. Pay attention to the doomsayer commentator in the beginning of the film. The film finds yet another angle to look into the Cloverfield genre and a certain level of kudos has to be acknowledged for that. Another great concept sci-fi film you HAVE to see is "Primer" from 2004. Don't read anything about it, just go into it and let it unfold. It's a great mind-blowing indie project.

Dude on the right has to see the French Extremity movie Frontier(s). Easily has the most claustrophobic scene ever. I don't mind and it absolutely had me holding my breath.

[@BEYEXI]

If you didn't know this movie was originally suppose to be marketed as just a regular horror movie about a crazy man kidnapping this girl and lying to her about the end of the world. It wouldn't be revealed til the end when you see the "cloverfield lane" sign that this movie was a sequel to cloverfield and everything he said was true. WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AMAZING REVEAL...but instead the studio feared it wouldn't make any money if they didn't attach the "cloverfield" name ultimately ruining the reveal. It's kind of why you get the closeup on the street sign.

It is 100% related for sure. Notice the massive alien thing in the air and from the distance she sees the smaller thing fall off it just like the many little ones that fall off the bigger one in the first . It’s all tied in in many ways. But also ties in terrifying humans that remain.

What this movie reminded me of is a bit of a Zombie film with the thriller horror that turns into a sci-fi film.

The reason I love this movie is how it exaggerates being in abusive relationships and overcoming them. Great theme and great use of the theme.

The only connection is what they made in the third movie. The monster in the first movie was a sea creature. Not alien
