    The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (MOAB) (colloquially known as the Mother Of All Bombs) is a large-yield conventional bomb developed for the United States military by Albert L. Weimorts Jr. At the time of development, it was touted as the most powerful non-nuclear weapon ever designed. The bomb was designed to be delivered by a C-130.

    So Cloverfield survived something that probably took out half of Manhattan.

    Yea, well I'm a real critique about stuff like that, it's so unlikely it's annoying, I know it's just a movie but what makes movies good are those hints of probablitly and I just don't see that in this.

    Well its a group of avarage everyday people trying to get through this tragic event. You have to try and relate to these characters to understand what they are going through to really understand most of this movie.

    I do understand it, I never said I didn't I said I didn't like the fact that there is a hint that it lived though something like that, it's not plausible even if it is just a movie, it seems too indistrucable. I understand the movie fine.

    No you don't. And that is why you didn't like the movie.

    No, I understand it perfectly, and please don't argue with me about it, I think since I know myself best I would know if I understood something well or not.

    And look, I understand I just wasn't to impressed, it's not really the best movie ever in my opinion, to you it is and that's your own opinion of it, personally I think The Lion King is the best movie ever, and I'm gonna take a guess you don't like it that much. It's not about understanding, like I could understand every equasion and formula in Math and still hate it. and I don't know everything in Science yet I love it. It's about tastes not understanding. Sure it does take some understanding to make it better but that's not eveything their is to liking something or not.

    No I can, but sometimes things go a bit far-fetched. Like the thing acctually living though this amazing bomb apperently. And I didn't hate the movie I just thought it wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been, alright?

    Kikame, 4/5ths of movies are far-fetched.

    *sigh* I realize that, I mean they just go a little to far, even for movies. >__< You should talk to my English teacher, she explains stuff really well.

    Ever heard of a film called Shoot 'Em Up? Most of that film there saying, "Screw the laws of gravity!"

    Heard of it but never seen it. It could be a good movie or not depending on how they fit it in there.

    Let me explain:
    okay so say your watching a movie and it's in like another world in another dimention, okay? So this srtange but cool stuff is going on but it still has some connection with our reality. then there's just this one part that doesn't seem to fit right even in the weird another planet different dimention place. It takes away from the enjoyment, and in Cloverfield I just noticed parts like that, it just didn't quite fit in with the movie and reality.
