Review of Bird Box (2018) by Micromegas80 — 30 Dec 2018
This is the second Netflix movie where the final scene erases everything that the movie has built up to with illogical garbage that concludes nothing and contributes nothing to the overall story. The first one was "The End" which ended in the main character and his SO in a car covered in a cloud of dust before the credits roll. In Bird Box the sanctuary from the monsters turns out to be a school for the blind. Now what is a school for the blind doing tucked away in the middle of a forest and how does Rick give such an accurate description of how to get there down the river, when he is blind? Where are they getting their food from? What makes their place any safer than the original house Malorie and the kids were holed up in? What happened to all the other blind people in the cities - there should be thousands of them still alive. Why is it even called Bird Box??? The box of birds is in barely half a dozen shots in the entire movie. Urgh. The more I think about this inconclusive and dumb ending the more enraged I become over the fact that I spent two hours watching it.
To sum up "Bird Box" is what happens when The Walking Dead meets Oregon Trail.
