It may seem stupid for those of you who haven't seen it, but believe me, they aren't lying.

My 15 year old son left in the middle because he had to throw up.
I loved it! (The movie, not the barf.)

I was fine. My gf wanted to sit up front, so we (three) did, and both of them got sick-ish and I didn't.

Motion sickness is for wusses. :)

There was a similar sign at the movie theater I went too. The last line said "prepare yourself"

The Blair Witch project was so much worse (motion sickness).

I guess this is in response to when the Blair Witch Project was in theaters. Remember all the complaints?

OH nice, I dont think I'm going to see this now in the theater. Shaking the camera is LAME! its been way to much lately starting with Blair Witch I believe.. wish they'd get over that.

Besides that, if you start to feel dizzy, just close your eyes for a while it does help,

I was on the Black octopus ride that spins around, but for some reason the cart I was in they must have oiled it or something in the morning as it wouldn't stop SPINNING, the only thing we could do is close our eyes which helped a TON however, I was still messed up from the motion the rest of the day it seemed.

I had no problems. But maybe it's just because I play way too many video games :P

I totally ran out and threw up. I barely made it to the garbage can. I was already sick so this just put it over the edge. Unfortunately, I missed the scene where the (oops, don't want to spoil it).

rSavage says:

yeah. i have to agree.. even i was feeling a little sick.. unlike other movies, it helps to acknowledge the screen itself, and the people in the front row, and other stationary objects while you're watching it.. it's pretty bad, and if they were smart they'd have made it approx. 50% of the movie, on and off.. it was pretty cheesy.. but good.

I went in with a sleep deprived headache, and the handycam work didn't help. But it didn't detract from the AWESOME movie, either.

xxdesmus says:

They aren't kidding ...it takes a bit of getting comfortable with the camera. Overall the movie is pretty crappy though. Uninspired, unoriginal, and uninteresting in general.

Dаvid says:

i cant stand when people use this method of filming. its not artistic, its just stupid. you can make a movie feel immersive without making people feel sick. good example: the children of men.

This_is_sin says:

I totally puked.

I never get motion sickness and I had to walk out of the theater TWICE. The movie was great but I had to remove the contents of my stomach.

pwinnick85 says:

That is so lame.
There is no way you could get sick watching that movie.
Motion Sickess, WTF???

Also the movie was not even scary.
It was entertaining and different.

I would recommend seeing it.

definitely recommend it

Cloverfield is the best movie I never want to see again. One would have to imagine that DVD Sales are going to be subpar because of this.
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

Tubes. says:

Yeah, thanks pwinnick 85. We're all lying because we all love telling people we throw up from a movie. Shut up, upload some photos and write a flickr profile and maybe then we'll listen to what you have to say. But probably not, you big wuss.

I agree with that, my friend I went to see it with got sick. I was fine, I guess watching Battlestar Galactica helped me with that.

Winterblink says:

I was third row from the front. I was ok, but two others with me spent most of the movie with their eyes closed trying not to puke.
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

pwinnick85 says:

Tubes,
What does uploading photos and creating a profile have to do with writing a comment????
Why would I be a wuss???
You make no sense.

The movie was good, but if you get motion sickness there is something wrong with you and you should go see a doctor.

heyitzlou says:

You should try watching this on an IMAX screen. No escape from the shaky camera no matter what row you're sitting. haha.

I work at a 3 plex movie theater and on both friday and saturday someone throw up, and not that many people went to see it either of those nights.
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

angyelk says:

I was at the very last row in the back.
I had my head covered for half the thing or else I would've barfed all over everyone in front of me.

But it's ok, because I didn't miss anything (not even good footage). The whole story was OBVIOUS. You don't even really find out what is attacking. The blood and gore isn't bloody or gorey enough to make anyone sick (that might've been the best part?).

It wasn't scary.
It wasn't thriller.
It wasn't surprising.
It was bland, predictable, and awful.

phillipgribben says:

I ended up with a headache at one point, but the best part was there was no sign at aour theatre and in the row just in front of us a guy had a seizure. Told the usher he was fine, kept shaking, then coughed a bunch and then got up and left at the end of the movie.

the warning should have said "due the the lack of writing/acting you may wish to skip this film"

Bill Stickers -c says:

OMFG, you(pl) are so arrogant that you think the film producers should have to cater for the 1 percent of the population that gets motion sickness. it only sounds like most people ended upchucking because your all a bunch of whine wusses. 1-2 people hurl in a packed cinema, should have taken their meds, they knew they got motion sickness and they knew they were going into a movie filmed on handy cams. Normal people don't get motion sickness, you have a problem, see a doctor. don't bitch. there are more color blind people in the world and nobody caters to them.

lostinjersey says:

I was there Friday and saw a few people leave. If you could handle Blair Witch you can handle this, it's not much worse then the jerkiness in that film.

lucian303 says:

like blair witch wasn't enough ... as well as all those first person shooters ... fuck this movie if it's another sickening (literally) movie
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

badlogik says:

We had this exact same warning at our theatre here.

This "warning" while true for some people is clearly written by Marketing. "similar to riding a rollercoaster"? What about similar to watching The Blair Witch Project while spinning in circles for 2 hours.

Dude, i just watched it. It's not hard to watch at all.
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

This_is_sin says:

It was MORE than one percent of people who vomited during this movie and it has nothing to do with being a wuss. I for one have never had a problem with motion sickness or really thrown up in quite some time, yet the frantic video camera perspective made me queasy enough.

There was nothing artistic about the camera perspective in this movie. It was damn annoying. I knew alot of people who did atleast get a little queasy. So yes, if alot of people are running out of the movie theater or having to close their eyes then the movie director SHOULD cater to his audience.
I'd like to go see the movie again but I dont particularly feel like experiencing that horrible feeling for 2 hours straight again. Movie producers must realize that would be hurting their sales. If there is a Cloverfield two, I hope they make it look right.

BUT what about the actual movie?
everyone talks about the motion of the frames,
plot? acting? storyline? originality? predictability?
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

wickedbyname says:

This is awesome! I have seen Cloverfield twice (opening night and last night) I had no problems. I thought they balanced out the shaky cam and still cam parts really well. But I guess I have sat in front of way to many video games to be bothered by it. Once you watch one of your friends play a first person shooter for 3 hours straight you can get through anything!
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

M. Schwed says:

I thought the movie was awesome, but nobody I've talked to seemed to think so (I was sitting in the second row, and didn't feel nauseous). And yes, after seeing it, I felt like I had ridden Superman for an hour and a half.

I so loved this movie... would've even loved it more if I didn't have 4 schoolgirls behind me giggling and laughing throughout the movie!

den_of_thieves says:

I saw Cloverfield last night and a guy four rows back projectile vomited and nailed me in the back. It was gross.

I stuck it out for the rest of the movie, which was awesome.

dlmeinberg says:

yea they are so not lying. my bf had to leave halfway through and i made it all the way through but certainly looked away a lot. several people around me lef.t i am very grateful the girl next to me made it out and didnt hurl on me!

whomever asked about being comp[arable to the second bourne movie- i dont remember that one as much as the third which for me was pretty shaky- there were two main difference though. In Bourne Ult. there was a lot of the movie where it WASNT like that where as pretty much all of cloverfield was. oh and Bourney Ult was a great movie whereas coloverfield was....well not. IMO

djördy says:

Heres the thing, the point of the whole movie is that it was captured by an amateur camera man. He didn't even want to film the party. So it comes to no surprise that it was going to be shaky. If you're prone to motion sickness, come early and sit in the back rows. or better yet, don't come at all. The movie is doing quite fine without you.
The more you complain about it, the more attention this movie will get and more $$$ it will make. :P

wowkodos says:

Sorry people, but Blair Witch was nothing compared to Cloverfield, camera movement wise. At least 1/4 of the shots in Blair Witch where the students using a tripod or doing "steady" interviews. No such luck in Cloverfield.

The camera was put down a grand total of 3 times in Cloverfield for all of like 30 seconds each time. Not nearly enough in my opinion. Thank goodness my gang and I sat near the back of the theater, a couple of us got headaches as it was. It's too bad too cause I like the movie, but I won't be buying it on DVD because of the movement.

so true.....
No one in the movie theater vomit, but I saw a lot of ppl leaving...
I almost vomit........I felt so sick....... I wish there was a warning post outside like this one....there was none.....

Nice to have a warning. I heard tell that they filmed the entire movie using handheld cameras. Motion sickness is definitely a problem there.

My wife puked in the car on the way home. Thanks Cloverfield!

Harukio says:

only two people left in the theater I was in, and my group of 9 people were fine, although I did have a headache after, I think it was more due to the loud noises in the movie. I do think it would be hilarious if they released a soundtrack xD.

I'd say the movie was average, other than the standard plot holes, what this movie really needed was some characters that the audience would care more about.

yipemike says:

My girlfriend couldn't watch half of the movie, she was laying down on the movie theater seats. She ran out of the theater and puked afterwards. Plenty of people were leaving throughout the movie and didn't come back in. Yikes!

Mochene says:

See, I love roller coasters, but after this movie, I had a horrible headache and my stomach was upset. I took a cab home and didn't think I could make it home. I had to lie down for a while. They didn't have this sign at the theater I went to.

My teenage daughter and I both left early because we felt sick. She went straight to the bathroom and threw up! We got a refund! I had the worst headache the rest of the day!

venus_designs says:

I had to leave halfway through, and am not prone to motion sickness. Blair Witch only made me mildly queasy and I recovered easily. I can ride all the scariest rides without a problem. I tried closing my eyes during Cloverfield, but once past a certain point, the queasiness would not go away and I knew if I stayed, I'd hurl. Two hours after leaving, I still don't feel well.

I don't think there is any real way to predict if this film will make you sick or not.

I'm the type of person who doesn't ride roller coasters & gets carsick/motion sickness pretty easily but this movie didn't affect me at all. I loved the movie & would love to see it again.

Saw it twice and didn't get sick at all! But if you get slightly seasick or motion sickness - this is not the movie for you.

Yesterday I visited cloverfield, but in the Netherlands there is no waning! And as usual in cars, airplanes and whatever, I had this stomach age...... I felt sick! First I thought it was just because of all that blood.. but then I thought: O shit, it's that cam!

slipstream89 says:

there is on reason i REALLY would not reccomend the movie. if you want to see it because of the monster you'll be disappointed(at least i was). it was more about a guy saving his girlfriend then a huge monster destroying stuff.
