Review of The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) by Notoriousneo — 05 Feb 2018
If you enjoyed the unique way in which Cloverfield tackled the standard kaiju/monster movie and really enjoyed the unique way 10 Cloverfield Lane approached a typical alien invasion story, prepared to be disappointed by the way The Cloverfield Paradox goes through its story in a completely unoriginal way.
The movie is a hodgepodge of other sci-fi movies like Alien, Event Horizon, and even recent ones like Life, with some interesting scenes that are never given time to simmer, and the link to the Cloverfield universe is about as shoehorned as you can possibly get.
What's worse, the world this movie is in bears almost no resemblance to the one in the original movie. Sure, some may excuse this by saying that world wasn't really fleshed out, but that's the lazy mans way of explaining things, and that's exactly what this movie is: Lazy.
