Trivia:
The film has no music score and music for the end credits do not begin until 1 minute and 30 seconds after the credits start rolling. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The Statue of Liberty's head bounces off buildings and crashes into the ground as if it were made of a solid chunk of metal. However, the real statue is constructed of an iron frame skeleton covered with thin copper sheet metal. The iron frame and the sheet copper are not brittle materials but very flexible making crushing more easy than snapping and breaking. If it were even possible to snap off the head without crushing it in the process, it most likely would crumple like aluminum foil long before touching the ground. Additionally, we later see a headless Lady Liberty still standing perfectly intact in the harbor. This too is not very accurate since grabbing the head would most likely result in a total collapse or crushing of the hollow statue's body. more

First of i would like to say that this is hands down the best monster movie made. Some people will say " The Host" which was a great movie, but does not compare to the suspense and terror in Cloverfield. The visual effects in this movie were absolutely stunning. Superbly acted by a mostly unknown cast added to the realty of this movie. Cloverfield definitely tops my list of movies in 2008 so far. A MIND BLOWING movie experience that must be seen.

one more note............. Don't LEAVE THE THEATER TILL AFTER THE CREDITS ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I warn you DON NOT LEAVE!!!!!!!!! After the long credits, a very important scene takes place that you cant miss. So sit tight and wait. You wont be disappointed.
