Cloverfield on DVD

hey... no Blu ray? WHAT!?

come on, for what I heard that movie wasn't worth it, so i don't think paramount wants to waste money producing BD disks of their flop.

Dude, this is far from a flop! They grossed $79,351,605 and their budget was 30,000,000... that is FAR from a flop.

Not to mention I would totally buy it on Blu-Ray. It's worth to put on BD Discs.

You would want to watch a film that has been run through filters to look as though it's from an SD handy cam in HD? So in effect you would be watching SD in HD. That's rather self defeating I would think.

Well when I saw it I thought it looked great.

Yeah, much like buying the "Grindhouse" movies! Gee, let's watch movies in HD that were filmed through filters of shit.

And no, I wouldn't say Cloverfield was a flop, either. Even film critics responded well to it as RT gives it a 77% rating. So yeah, not sure what you're hearing wii, but you might want to research a little first before you make a "flop" claim.

Anyone who has seen it has to admit that it isn't nearly as heavily filtered as Grindhouse was. Grindhouse was just over the top compared to this.

True, but the idea between all fims is they were made to have the PQ look cheap.

I guess, I really don't remember it looking all that bad.

I agree "Cloverfield" isn't as bad as the "Grindhouse" movies in PQ. I get that each film has an intended, astistic approach ("Grindhouse" looks like old 70s films, "Cloverfield" looks like reality TV). All I'm saying is the overall PQ in these films is crap and not all polished like a cheesy blockbuster, such as "Tranformers".
