Review of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) by Eludiumq36 — 25 Oct 2016

Stupidest setup/story-framing ever! Faux-abduction with faux suspense that could've been avoided during their FIRST conversation. Instead, the ersatz abduction drama is drawn out over 45 freakin' minutes.

And it's not till 90-mins into the 97-min runtime that the invaders are revealed, and all of a sudden, meek, timid Michelle becomes an action hero ala La Femme Nikita exhibiting fitness, stamina, and a MacGyver-like propensity to improvise a solution from scraps at hand! And all this immature silliness falls at the feet of rookie-director Dan Trachtenberg whose technique is at the level flim school student.
