    From a sci-fi fan: Disappointing, cheezy, average b-movie.

    I love sci-fi. I LOVE it. So I've seen dozens of these average forgettable sci-fi b-movies. With this one it looks like they followed some sort of "generic sci-fi b-movie checklist". Let's get to the point:

    -Generic b-movie plot.

    -Generic physics mambo jambo that makes no sense.

    -Generic crew. Generic characters making obvious mistakes (I mean, if a magnet is strongly and dangerously attracting metal objects, would you get close to look at the magnet? or would you look behind you for metal objects coming through??)

    -Generic "we move power from system A to system B and that would fix everything!" plans.

    -Generic "ok, to fix this part of the ship, someone has to die... I'll sacrifice myself for you guys, go! save yourselves!" altruism moments.

    -Almost no character development. They try SO HARD (failing) to make us care about the main character, that when a generic crew member dies, you just don't even care.

    -Has almost nothing to do with Cloverfield. And the "explanation" of why cloverfield happened it's just bland... I wish Cloverfield's explanation would still be a mistery.

    I really wanted to like this, I really did. I loved Cloverfield and even 10 Cloverfield Lane, but this is just a flop.

    Not What You Think - For Good Reason

    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.

    Utter garbage.

    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 enjoyed it.

    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.

    Good sci-fi click, I don't understand all the hate

    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.

      A hull breach would not cause an entire room filled with water to freeze instantly. Water exposed to the vacuum of space would boil due to the lack of pressure.

    • Alternate versions
      When the movie premiered on Netflix, the Netflix logo appeared before the Bad Robot logo at the start of the film. When the movie was released on DVD and Blu-Ray by Paramount Pictures, the Netflix logo was replaced by the Paramount logo which still runs before the Bad Robot logo.
