In an era where everything is ridiculously spelled out for the audience and over explained and with all kinda of sequels this was a great movie to watch. You know there are all kinds of gigantic big picture stuff going on in the world but all you ever get is just a tiny part of it with a group of 3 people, and even among the people in the bunker you still don't get the full story on all of them, just bits and pieces. Goodmans character was the most interesting for sure though. When MEW gets out of the bunker at the end you get a little taste of what's happening but that's it. I know this is a contradictory statement but it felt really good finishing this movie and not truly knowing how everything started and what's going to happen.
I hope this won't change the thread at all because I'd like to know what you all thought about this movie too but if any of you have any recommendations for other movies where some big events are going on but the story is singled in on a small part or single aspect instead of the full scale of what's going on I'd like to know. It's nice getting to use your imagination for the outside world of the movie instead of having it explained to you point by point.

You can ignore the second paragraph completely that's just asking for other movie recommendations.

John Goodman was actually good.
I loved it too, and Goodman was indeed fantastic.
Can't really think of any recs, sorry. The Lobster barely touches on the wider implications of the society or world outside of it, I guess.

>the lobster
I heard a lot of mixed reviews on this but loved the trailer. That's exactly what I was looking for.

>actually
John Goodman always gives a great performance regardless of the film's quality. Never phones it in. Honestly deserved an oscar nom for cloverfield

Kong: Skull Island begs to differ.
It would have been much better if there were no aliens.

Coherence and the Invitation popped into my head. Both focus entirely on a single dinner party. I'd recommend not looking anything else up about them
movie fukn sucked
fuk mew btw,

This. Half the fun of the original Cloverfield movie was not actually getting a good look at the monster itself for more than a few seconds at a time or knowing why it was there. Movie went from revolving around a tense ongoing psychological situation with Michelle not being able to entirely trust in Howard to her driving off into the distance to join fucking XCOM and fight the alien resistance taking over the planet

Holy shit this is what sub 100 IQ people really think. The film is shit and Goodman and Mew can't act.
>>84644550
the movie is fucking shit. it is laughable to wrote all that and posted in confidence
What the fuck are you on? It was mediocre until the end when it went full retard mode.
>>84646525

>>84646145
>fuck mew btw
She if SEXY AS FUCK in this movie so you being gay is the only explanation for your post.
>>84644550
I agree with most of what you wrote, this movie has undeniable qualities, but the ending of the movie was too fucking corny.
I think Goodman's character could've been just a bit more ambiguous (i.e. slightly less obviously murderous towards the end), but he was really good regardless.

The invitation was fantastic! Never got a chance to see the other one.
