The Cloverfield Paradox

I really enjoyed it, so I really don't get the hate.

I genuinely think it's a pretty good space flick, it may just be the fact that is has the word "Cloverfield" in it or that it is attached to that universe as to why it gets so much hate.

Pretty freaky, I wouldn't say scary, maybe 1 or 2 jump scares, even a few laugh out loud moments 'cause of your man from the 'I. T crowd' and it looks brilliant, great effects and visuals I have to say.

There's a lot of grey areas with the characters, the heels aren't even full on heels, which is what I like. It also has a feel good feel to it, or does it? You'll have to find out...

To me it felt a lot like Cube/Cube 2 (first one is defo worth a watch BTW) as I just kept waiting for the next weird and crazy thing to happen and wasn't disappointed.

Honestly don't be put off by the reviews or score I honestly think if this was called something different it wouldn't catch all the hate.

It's an better than an above average sci-fi film, it's a good sci-fi film. Gutted we haven't seen some sort of equal or another installment in the CCU.

So anyway, give it a try for yourself, you've already got the streaming service, so it's free, may as well!

If someone had told you this was the greatest block buster of the year, or a contender to beat out Star Wars or Alien for greatest sci-fi of all time, you'd be mightily disappointed.

And coming from J.J. Abrams and stupidly having had the "Cloverfield" thing jammed into it pointlessly, anyone would reasonably be very disappointed, or if you are someone who has to over think movies you would be too.

But if you approach this like an episode of Doctor Who, or Torchwood, or some other BBC type sci-fi series, (which is what it looks like given the actors), it is fine, and if you tell someone to approach it that way they might enjoy it even you didn't.

Nonsensical utter garbage in space. The people behind this story should be forbidden to go near a keyboard because a plot like this is borderline criminal.

I am almost 65 years old, and have been a fan of science-fiction all my life. I never heard of Cloverfield and did not know that it was some sort of series until I started reading some of the other reviews on this page. Having no prior knowledge of Cloverfield, I was able to approach the film without any preconceived bias and judge the movie entirely on its own merit. There are very few films that present any truly unique science-fiction idea, but this movie does succeed in blending some old ideas into a new and unique combination. I found this to be a very enjoyable science-fiction film. Although this movie had its share of scientific inaccuracies, I simply attribute them to the fact that the story takes place in an alternate universe where our scientific laws do not all necessarily hold true. This is an unusual science-fiction tale, blended with a touch of horror similar to "Event Horizon". The plot is very interesting. The acting is excellent. The special effects are great. The story is suspenseful. I found this film to be a worthwhile piece of entertainment.

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.
