First of all, what a film. Absolutely loved it up until the "twist" ending. The buildup was brilliant! My girlfriend who

The movie would have been great if she had been killed outside at the end. Then, the message could have been "antagonizing people creates antagonists."
As it stands, it's just new survivor girl realizes it's better to run toward problems than away from them.
Thanks for the tip, Hollywood. Never heard this one, before. -

Ur2026, yup. That's what I thought he was hinting at too. Perhaps if the human were a "faster stronger Male" then it would be believeable to him and he wouldn't nitpick the f'n movie so much?
It's a film.
again.. It is a film. -

The ending is terrible because that was Jar Jar Abrams' contribution to the film after he appropriated this unrelated indie film for the purpose of turning it into a Cloverfield movie.
The first transport is away hey! -

you're right, it was a great movie but uh.what twist? This is a sequel to Cloverfield, a movie about an Alien invasion. How was the ending a twist? I'm guessing you watched this sequel without watching the first movie?

OP did not get the ending that she 'runs away' when things get tough. So her heading towards the danger was her character arc. Also, yes aliens, it's a sequel the Cloverfield and in any case it's much better than another zombie virus movie.

You are not even remotely as smart as you think you are.
First, "twist" ending? Seriously? If you did not know from early on that it was aliens then you are not very perceptive.
Second, Route A & Route B a choice between nothing and something? You were not listening. Route A was a survivor camp north of Baton Rouge. Route B was Houston where people needed help. This was directly related to her story about failing to help the abused girl in the grocery store. That was the choice.
Route A, help yourself. Route B, help others.
Route A, the easy path. Route B, the difficult path.
I find it amusing when people, like you, come on here to post complaints that illustrate just how incapable they are of following a story and blaming the inability to understand on the people who created the story.
Good stuff. -

I agree there were too many plot conveniences during the ending, but the "Route A or Route B" ending isn't quite what you've stated. She had a choice to RUN or Not to RUN. Route A meant getting to Safety, where the Aliens had already been taken care of; Route B was a call for help for anyone with medical or combat experience to help them stave off remaining threats there. Given her personal narrative of wanting to help, but always choosing to RUN, this was her chance Not to Run, when it matters most. So you've completely missed the fact that she DIDN'T take the easy way out!

The ending is what "Cloverfield" was about; a giant friggin monster. 99% of this "sequel" had zip to do with the original film. Not even in the same state. Could have been called "10 Anywhere Lane". It was a bait and switch rip off to use the name Cloverfield.
So if you hated the ending then you must have hated the first film. Why are you here except to stir up nonsense?
