When will Hollywood finally look at J.J. Abrams and realise that he isn't wearing any clothes? This is a poorly executed movie. Cliche follows cliche to a point where I felt I was watching a parody, not a paradox. The story is unoriginal and makes so many jarring twists and turns that it quickly becomes a mess. Watching until the end will only make the viewer angry that they aren't watching one of the many, many brilliant science fiction movies that this dreadful flick is "paying homage' to.

Fmovies: I don't like to slate films as a rule, but this was not good. The positives, the acting was ok, some nice special effects, and initially a good premise, the Earth disappearing, which in turn created some nice tension. The whole thing instantly fell apart due to the absence of any plot, I understand the whole Cloverfield premise, of nothing is supposed to make any sense until the whole thing is pieced together, but lazy writing does not make up for ambiguity. The trailers were brilliant, and instantly made me watch the film, just goes to show how powerful a trailer can be, and how bad the actual film is. The characters were presented in such a way that I had no empathy for any of them, on the whole they were unlikable.

It's no wonder this went straight to Netflix.

Let's be blunt: the film made no sense at all.

Kudos to actors, to the special effects team and everyone else involved aside from the writer and director - they should never be allowed to write and direct again.

This movie physics and logic are only rivaled by Ridley Scott's Prometheus and Alient: Covenant. If you liked those movies, you might like this one, otherwise avoid at all costs.

The Cloverfield Paradox fmovies. It's no mistake now that the team behind the Cloverfield series is simply purchasing films that are already shot or written and re-working them to fit within their "world". This entry into the series is no different, but at least we have a direct connection and explanation for things, which make this film the main one that will connect every single 'Cloverfield' entry from here on out.

In an attempt to produce endless energy, a group of people board a space shuttle known as The Shepard. Over 600 days in space with failure after failure, they finally manage to create something. But that something is not what they expected and now they have to fight to survive and deal with the horrors they've unleashed.

There is a moment in the film that is pure exposition, delivered by Donal Logue that really felt forced in there to be an explanation for the monster in the original film. It was such an awkward jumble of words that it stands out like a sore thumb. I felt like they could have delivered this information a bit differently, by someone on the ship maybe. There are other moments of missed opportunities as well, specifically when you are dealing with time paradoxes and alternate realties.

The film tries to deliver a sense of dread, but it doesn't really get there. There are moments where the weirdness explodes and we are dealing with severed limbs still working or body horror involving eyes and skin. I get the sense that they wanted these weird occurrences to really amp of the mystery. Sometimes it works, other times it does not. As a whole though, the film does deliver an edge of your seat sic/fi space survival flick.

Paramount clearly thought they had a stinker on their hands, which is why they dumped the film to Netflix. Saying this film sucks is a disservice to the material. It's ambitious enough to try and create a connecting tissue to the other films and anything else that Bad Robot wants to come up with. I applaud that, as well as their explanation for why things happened, to me is good enough. This film will be the most divisive one yet, that is clear.

There's a reason they released this movie right when the whole country would be positively drunk.

Remember that lame scene in Interstellar where the movie stops to explain wormholes with a piece of paper? Now imagine a whole movie of that.

This disappointing sidequel, though its talented cast tries their best, is jam-packed with clunky expository dialogue and unanswered questions. It's actually amazing that even with spending this much time explaining what's going on that it still makes such little sense.

Sadly, this is a movie whose marketing strategy is more surprising and inventive and than the actual film.

Well, about 30 minutes in and you realize why Paramount decided to release via Netflix. I don't think anyone who loved cloverfield will be particularly taken by this film. And to those people who felt cloverfield lane was a bait and switch, they will really feel betrayed by this film. The acting in this film is respectable. The effects, set and the like are fine. But the dull plot is not overcome by having a single character to care about.
