All indications from the viral sites is that once someone/thing has consumed sea nectar (you can't just drink six) they have a hunger for more. thus the newly mutated monster and a host of parasites would chase the supply which would be abord the tanker.

Also if the mutations are a scale of the orginal size of the creature (I think a whale is the most likely cannadate) then the parasites ON the whale should scale accordingly.

hamlet9634 .. as to your assertion about the film being a found video would fit perfectly with my theory. Addicted lab rats are known to forgo food for the drug (sea nectar) that they are addicted to, so the creature (i'm gussing) will die of starvation after the attack on the city.

speak,

that's the first good idea i've heard of in terms of how the monster actually stops destroying the whole planet... much better than the war of the worlds bacterial infection because they don't have resistance to earth's infectious organisms

Each one contains a new "nugget" of information. The Japanese newscast indicates that a tanker is in the vacinity of (or on the way to) the oil rig.

Consequently, it's a tanker that is capsized in Cloverfield, and becomes the first victim of the creature.

The French newscast has a conversation with a family member in France. I'm not sure what that's about.

By the way, the English version is perhaps the most "comical". The environmentalist in the clip talks about drilling oil, and how oil escapes during drilling, "infects" plankton which is then eaten by fish, which eventually pollutes us because we eat the fish. The problem with that statement is that oil bubbles-up from the seabed ALL THE TIME. Especially out in the open seas.

Or maybe that's something you're supposed to ponder as far as the film is concerned?

Who knows.
