Cloverfield DVD Review

On the 22nd of April Cloverfield came out on DVD on a single disc set.

The contents of the Cloverfield DVD are:

Trailers of Star Trek and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull trailers at the beginning of the DVD but can also be accessed from the Previews section in the special features.

Feature length commentary by the film Director Matt Reeves

Document 01.18.08: The Making of Cloverfield (28:16).

Cloverfield Visual Effects (22:29).

I saw it! It’s alive! It’s huge! (5:51).

Clover Fun (3:57).

Deleted Scenes (3:34).

Alternate Endings (4:34).

Most of the features on the DVD went together really well, my personal favorite feature jad to have been the Visual effects feature. Mainly because I am always interested on how and what they do to make all the monsters seem really there in reality. Everything else are good too but I enjoyed that just a little bit more.

**(Side Note) I’m going om a small tangent, but here it goes. Before the movie was even released they (the filmmakers) tried hard to keep everything even the monster hidden. If anyone hadn’t watch Cloverfield yet and didn’t see any spoilers, they can be disapointed just by looking at the back of the DVD. Thety show a part of the monsters on the back. What up with that?

I liked this DVD I was interested with most of the Features and think it a pretty solid buy. but I just can’t stop think that in the future there will be 2-disc of Cloverfield. Yet I would still double dip with this movie. I recommend Cloverfield DVD as a buy.

Easter Eggs (and how to find them)– (1)Scene 17 Supplemental Files: Go to Scene 13-16 in ‘Scene Selection’ and leave the remote alone for 1:17. Scene 17 will appear. (2) Go to Spanish subtitle option and push right on the remote. This will highlight a helicopter where the Statue of Liberty head should be. (3) Go to SCENE SELECTIONS, and above scene #10 should be the extra bit X

(Quick End Thoughts) I heard that they are planning a squeal to Cloverfield, and this is just speculation but during of of the features one of the FX creaters say that the monster is a baby, maybe Cloverfield 2 is when Mama monsters comes to help her baby?
