.... after being hit by hundreds of bullets, bombs, missiles.
It obviously was organic and had no visible force field surrounding it.
at the end of the movie when the're showing the credits you can hear someone say IT'S STILL ALIVE.
shareI just watched it for the third time (first couple of times about 5 years ago) and still found it enjoyable. I just noticed this time around of the last scene when it cuts to the couple at the park. When they're filming out at the ocean, a bit to the right you can see something splash down from the sky. I'm thinking that it's either something from another world or a satellite. If it is organic and came from beneath or bottom of the ocean (and that's if the satellite made enough of an impact to reach the bottom but wouldn't it cause massive waves?!?), it wouldn't have survived the military's barrage. If on the other hand it was extraterrestrial, then understandable why it survived for we don't know the monster's body matter.
I've never bothered to read up on the film nor the director or producers' takes but at this time, I'm leaning for the latter explanation.
And I only know three chords! Ha ha ha hashare
Yeah the last scene shows something splashing down in the water and it's even slowing down before impact! You can clearly see that when watching step by step. So it must be some kind of extraterrestrial attack. We don't hear if other cities or places are under attack as well but it might just be the first wave of attack of many.
It might be bio-engineered or something or is healing super fast or has super dense skin and shock absorbent tissue. It's certainly sci-fi and not realistic. Nothing that evolved on earth has a toughness like that. Nor would a creature that evolved really "need" a toughness like that because that would seem to be just not economical.
In some frames you can see it seems to have a scar on it's leg but that might just be normal as well. It just shrugged everything off. And even in the very last seconds of the credits you can hear a voice saying "it's still alive". So it's one tough cookie.
According to the subs it's "Help us" they say with about 10 secs left of the credits.
Some might find me morally challenged or morally ambiguous. I prefer morally creative.
The director confirmed that it was in fact a satellite that crashed to the bottom of the ocean... Incidentally, waking up poor Clovy from hibernation at the bottom of the ocean.
I'll come back here when I find that darned link.
"I'll be your scapegoat, I'll be your savior, I'm the better of two evils."

I've ask (in another post ) if a rail gun and the navy's new laser would stop it. I doubt its skin could stand up to a hypersonic projectile or its eyes to a laser attack.
Perhaps it evolved a super strength skin like Kevlar but even then the kinetic energy of something travelling at mach 7 should punch straight through it.
Perhaps a rocket scientist could do the maths for us. What do you you think? Thanks
My hypothesis is that it was an alien slumbering at the bottom of the ocean and the satellite woke it.
shareIt's a marine animal that grew to crazy proportions due to the seabed nectar steroid.
The satellite did not wake it up, but rather the search for the satellite did.
What I don't get though, is what are the odds of a satellite belonging to Tagruato landing right on the monster, which has been drinking the secret ingredient to a Tagruato product.
I feel like I'm getting something wrong here.
Because it has a physiology that must withstand deep sea pressure, which makes it tough in general. Also, it is not an alien and it did not survive the blast (according to JJA.)

Please, go...Stop smiling, it's not a joke. Please leave...The party's over. Get out.
Because Godzilla was too busy killing the MUTOs instead.
Because they were stupid when attacking it...
One single high-velocity kinetic Uranuimtipped projectile with explosives
that penetrated deep into the monster and exploded, would've smeared most
of the monster all over the city... Everyone who knows about explosives,
knows that an explosion that is sealed in a small area such as a closed
fist or a bunker, is increased in power many times over...
So a projectile penetrating into the monster and then detonating,
would've most likely splattered it.
But hollywood is stupid.
Military is always inept in movies because if it was competent than pretty much no apocalyptic situation movie would be possible.
shareYeah, I honestly think that whole ordeal would have been over in about 2 hours. I can fly to New York harbor, where the statue of liberty is from an airport in Linden, Nj in about 20mins. You telling me they couldn't scramble jets and have them on the scene within an hour?
shareDidn't see this mentioned, but this was JJ's answer to an americanized Kaiju, directly inspired by Godzilla. Godzilla in most movies is pretty much "impervious" to all military fire power and Cloverfield is the same way...just irritates him.
The New Godzilla movie had Godzilla AND the MUTO's impervious the same way.
