Review of Bird Box (2018) by Rudyger — 26 Dec 2018
Take the worst aspects of: The walking dead, The Happening and A Quiet Place. Then you have Bird Box. What a terrible, terrible movie.
Sandra Bullock portrays a really unpleasant character, very difficult to root for. The beginning of the movie, where everything goes crazy, is ok, but too similar to the happening. But in The Happening, at least we had some kind of explanation, as lame as it turned out. In Bird Box, the writers just don't bother. It's implied this is some kind of demons, whatever.
In the end of course, nothing is resolved, because that would take creativity. I kinda hate this kind of movie where the world goes to an end, and we follow a tiny bunch of characters until they get to safe place. It seems like a happy ending, if you forgot that the world is still crazy out there. Anyway... Dialogues are boring and endless, just like in the walking dead. And characters act stupidly, just like in A quiet place. By the way, this is a rather long movie (>2h). I would recommend not to waste your time on this one. Really not worth it.
