Review of Bird Box (2018) by Biotofu — 02 Jan 2019

The first scene set the story up very well with the conversation, things happening on TV and paintings. I also enjoyed how the movie doesnt try to over-explain or over-show, allowing the audience to use more brain and imagination. Good use of the color blue on sandra bullock. the birds in the box and the human characters. a bit weird at certain points of the movie when malorie acted a bit out of her character by standing up for others when she was not good at making human connections.

Unfortunately, I saw the trailers and that has ruined some of the movie for me. The second half was also not as good as the first half. I particularly didnt enjoy last 15mins, with the characters just wandering off into different directions. The ending reminded me of the babadook which babadook did a much better job. I was also very puzzled as to how 2 of the characters were not given proper names at the beginning...
