Ouch! The hype train was massive going into the film. with the trailer being released and the movie just a few hours later I was really looking forward to it. I liked 10 Cloverfield Lane a lot (I hated the first movie because of the handheld camera bs) so this was on my must watch list.

I was just as suprised as everyone else when at the end of the trailer it said watch it TONIGHT (2/4/18). So as soon as the Eagles won the super bowl I hopped on Netflix to see what it was about.

I can tell why Paramount didn't want to release the film theatrically. If it had though I feel it would of been DOA. The film didn't seem like a theater movie. It seems like a film that Netflix actually produced. This is sad, but fits in with most of the other Netflix films. By most I mean the vast majority of Netflix movies like 'Bright'

Okay so the acting is actually pretty good, there's some good people including Zemo from Civil War, but that's all the praise it really deserves. Everything else in the movie is just mediocre. Some of the things that happens in the movie are nice but mostly just weird and the movie doesn't explain how/why it happened. It does for one or two things but then there will be scene where a guys arm gets cut off and it doesn't explain why the arm is later found and sentient. Moving around by itself.

The movie jumps back and forth between the space shuttle called 'Cloverfield' and the Earth. When on Earth it focusses on the husband of the main character and a girl while they are hiding from whatever is going on outside. This doesn't to the movie at all. I feel like it would've been better just focusing on the space shuttle.

By the end it does tie the movie to the first one and how it happened and what that satellite was but not more than that. As a movie, if I saw it in theaters I would give it a lower review but as a fan the 2nd movie and whilst being able to watch this heaping pile of paradox on Netflix it's okay entertainment for an hour and forty-five minutes.

6/10
