“when there’s one crab from outer space there’s definitely another one, too. or maybe three! so cloverfield II is not another hand cam from the apple but the steady freeway cam of exit cloverfield. imagine that: 45 minutes of nothing peculiar. maybe a busted drug deal. a carsick kid puking. a homeless guy brushing the median for some cans. a highway cop stopping some tourists. just a normal day. then panic. everybody’s trying to get out of santa monica. maybe you see an old lady in a wheelchair getting run over by some pistol packing gang bangers. drama! then a few smallcrabs eating some refugees. the army retreating and then - drums please - the crab itself. some more bombing, the camera goes blank. The END!”
