When this movie got released it got bad review let, right, and center. Even I was not expecting a Cloverfield sequel to be a groundbreaking film. So I also ignored the film after putting it on watchlist.

Today I just put it on and watched it with below zero expectations and it turned out much better. It surprised me.

Firstly what I liked about this movie is the Lovecraftian vibe it had. Space, Madness, Insanity, Existential dread, horrors from other dimension (none shown in this film but discussed).

It had some pacing issues, and editing issues just overlook them (coz it is not a masterpiece. Watch it to enjoy the sci-fi). I am glad I gave it a try.

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.

If you're after a film with only big scary monsters, set in space, this is not that film.

This is a film that requires you to think and to get out of your comfort zone.

Simply put, this is a film that is based on the premise of a paradox - leading to a conclusion that seems, to many, logically unacceptable and/or self contradictory.

If you can accept this premise, become absorbed in it, and leave your mind open to something that is not logical or linear, you will enjoy this film.

When I originally watched it, my expectation was more of "Cloverfield" (2008) and "10 Cloverfield Lane" 2016. Whilst it may be set in this universe, it is anything but part of a trilogy, but it is. Is that illogical? Yes - but it's Paradox.

For some, you need to watch it more than once. When I rediscovered this film, I loved it.

The cast is fabulous and the acting is very good. The story is intriguing and the more it unfolds, the more intriguing it becomes.

This is definitely worth a watch, or three.

I wasn't expecting much from The Cloverfield Paradox, so I was pleasantly surprised when it ended up delivering a pretty satisfying movie.

The tie in to the Cloverfield universe was a little thin, and after reading how the movie came to be, I understand.

Don't go in to the movie expecting to hate it because other people did. Just enjoy it for it for what it is.

Although the performances were fine, the story was a muddled mix of bad science (gravity doesn't work like that, not in any of the scenes) and sci-fi cliches, with several random mentions of the word "Cloverfield" shoe-horned in inexplicably. The film introduces several "haunted house" elements that are never explained.

There is less than a minute of content that connects this to the other Cloverfield movies, and as minor and inconsequential as the connection is, they still manage to contradict the events in the other films.

No one can watch this and find it faultless. The 10/10 "Must see!" user reviews were presumably written by publicists.

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.

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.

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.

Again & again, better than the so called critics tell you.

In the context of the previous film, this one is usefull.

People high and biais expectations are the main problem here.

If this were his first film it would be the last one he ever made. Do you recall that scene in A Clockwork Orange where they hold Alex's eyelids open forcing him to watch terrible things? Well if they remade A Clockwork Orange, Alex would be forced to watch this movie, but instead of rendering him sick to violence it would render him brain dead because this film it that terrible.

Silly plot paired with a miserable script, and poor direction. What made Alien great was that you could see the logic in the characters. Here the crew who is on a mission to save the world is always bickering, fighting, and doing the most illogical things possible as if they were high school students over-acting a staged drama for their parents.

It was almost like they were trying to incorporate the story of the Philadelphia project into the movie. If you don't know what that is, I recommend researching, it's very interesting. The movie certainly makes you use your brain, and really kept my attention throughout. Not really any boring parts, that's always a plus. Hate to break it to you though, you won't see hardly any of the monster until the very end. However, other aspects of the movie almost make up for it, in the fact that it does pretty much explain everything that happened, and fits in as a prequel pretty well compared to other movie franchises. The characters can be a little irritating at times, but otherwise, I'd say it was definitely a success.

If I had seen the first two movies before seeing this one I can see why I might be disappointed. I didn't go into it with any expectations so it just felt like a lighthearted sci-fi flick with in an interesting story line. Sure the characters were a little one dimensional but the acting was good. There are a number of sci-fi tropes but they were well executed. Great sets and CG.

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.

3/10

So you take the movies 'Interstellar', 'Sunshine' and 'Final Destination' right?

You put the scripts in a blender.

Then you hire a "multicultural" cast and give each person a few pieces of the script. Answer none of their questions.

Kill off most of the characters by using an invisible force that suddenly disappears halfway through the movie.

Make sure that the lead actress/astronaut on a mission to save the world cries in every single scene she's in. This will project her strength and toughness.

At the very end, show a monster that wasn't visible to anyone on Earth but is also large enough to breach Earths atmosphere on its own.. just by standing up.. over the ocean...

This is a perfectly watchable sci-fi movie. The plot made sense, characters generally behaved believably, the acting wasn't bad, and the ending, whilst a bit absurd is exactly what I thought would happen considering it's a Cloverfield movie. I wonder if the people giving this movie 1 or 2 stars should even be watching this kind of film; they must hate the genre.

I would say that it's probably the worst of the three Cloverfield movies, but it's not a bad movie.

The only thing I found that made no sense at all was why one character spoke in Chinese, and everyone understood her, whilst they spoke English and she understood them. I assume it was done for the Chinese audience, but it makes no sense at all in the logic of the film. As a multilingual person myself who interacts with others who speak multiple languages, you speak in one language. I have never known one person to talk in one language and everyone to answer in another, it would be confusing and rude.

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!

Because it's a good movie.

Let me start with this: I didn't watch Cloverfield because I couldn't stand first person camera view movies. People say it's good, I'm a sci-fi lover, but I just can't. So I can only read what it's about, but don't know the details. I did watch Ten Cloverfield Lane, though, and I love it.

If I may venture a guess, I think this is some kind of prequel. This is what happens to cause the things that happen in Cloverfield and Ten Cloverfield Lane. And I'm telling you, ignore the bad reviews, because it's good. Good story with good direction and great cast with great acting. The suspense is good, the gore is not over the top, and the script provides emotional moments that the cast deliver very efficiently.

If there are any flaws, it's probably just the pace, which is a bit slow and predictable twists. There are also some plot holes that doesn't really bug me. I would've given it a 9 if it weren't for them.
