Bird Box

I liked it,,,

Although it certainly has it's flaws,, it's an enjoyable suspense/horror/thriller with a great cast.

Watch it if you're not squeamish

I must have been the right audience for this movie. Before watching it I read several reviews and some of them critized it for being pointless and also for being a waste of two hours. But I decided to still watch it and that was great. Why? Probably because I am a father to a two year old son that I love more than anything. So I could relate to Sandra Bullocks character throughout. The decisions she took, the dedication she showed throughout was based on the love and protection for her child and loved ones. I don't want to write more than that. I thought the movie was great thoughout. Two hours felt like one hour. It was intense and interesting. Perhaps predictable as well but for this movie I didn't mind that. My curiosity was still on the highest level throughout.

One thought though is that perhaps some bad reviews comes from people watching this on a small screen. This movie is probably best viewed on a big screen with a good sound.

I don't want to write reviews for good movies because I think a good movie should be seen without any previous knowledge. But since this in my opinion is underrated and many of the negative reviews will scare viewers I felt I needed to say something.

The most common complaint I'm reading from user critics here is the lack of answers at the end of the movie. However, if we're meant to be seeing everything unfold from Malorie's point of view, it makes perfect sense that we would know as little as she does. I thought the ending was lovely. Not every single film needs to give answers to every little thing.

The trailer felt a bit casual but the plot seemed really interesting. So I decided to give it try and I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID. This movie have perfect pace, character development, really good performances throughout with eerie atmosphere while still keeping the viewer guessing for details and attempting to fill some blanks which makes it all more interesting and engaging.

The finale felt a bit underwhelming and pushy. But overall, a really good watch and highly recommendable.

Started off with a great premise, but dragged on far too long for such a weak finish.
