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? -

Having it just be the Cloverfield monster would have been far more predictable and boring than the alien attack angle. I loved the last part of the movie, it elevated it to an even higher level for me. As for her choice at the end, it was between a safe haven for survivors and going into the fray to try and help others but also face combat and danger. It would be a hard choice and she made the choice not wanting to "regret the decision to not help"

The ending was great, I really don't get what's so boring about getting finally rid of a human psycho and running into an alien invasion giving merit to some of that psycho's crazy theories. It's literally refreshing. Is there a movie like this, where a kidnapped woman escapes a psychopath and finds out there's an alien invasion outside? I doubt it, but you're free to prove me wrong.
And why would we want her to get dragged back inside with Howard, exactly? If she was you, wouldn't you put up a fight, after all you've been through? Hell, there's WAR going on outside, the air is breathable (contrary to Howie's lies), and you have 2 cars available to you. What do you do: a) go back inside and get raped/abused/cut to pieces/eaten by acid, or b) steal a car and try your luck?
The ending you suggest would literally make no goddamn sense after she escaped outside. If we even wanna go with her going back inside, I could accept it as being a cool ending only if she KILLED HOWARD. Like, grab an axe, kick that door down, chop his head off with one fell swoop, kick the head out, shut the doors behind you. There. Much, much cooler. Killer ending.
