Hot on the heels of the release of the full Cloverfield trailer on the web yesterday, the geniuses at /FILM have posted this little gem--a slow motion breakdown of a brief glimpse of the actual monster itself which appeared during that trailer, and which you might have missed if you blinked. This is the first look we've had at the mysterious creature. Hey, it's not much, but it sure beats a big cloud of black smoke, doesn't it?

Cloverfield Trailer Goes Live
The picture, which hits on January 18, centers on an attack upon New York City by a gigantic beast (rumored to be a squidlike creature of some kind).
Gotta say, I just have a sense that, as impressive as this trailer may be, this one has the potential to be a colossal stinker. The last time Abrams gave us a giant monster, it was part of his TV show Lost, which began life as a ratings juggernaut, and has since been shedding viewers steadily due mainly to an almost pathological refusal to divulge any details as to exactly what the heck is going on. The creative minds behind the film are also strictly small-screen people: writer Drew Goddard was Abrams' collaborator on both Lost and Alias, while director Matt Reeves hasn't helmed a cinematic project since 1996's forgettable comedy The Pallbearer, finding work instead as a head writer for Felicity.
Not to mention the fact that I seem to vaguely recall the Japanese making a movie or two like this one a few years back...
