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!

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.
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.
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.

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.
