Review of The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) by Brntn — 05 Feb 2018

Think of every sci-fi thriller/budget horror cliché that you can and write it down. Congrats: you're now a screenwriter! Now you just need your movie to sit untouched for a few years until someone shows it to J.J. Abrams. He'll buy it, re-edit some things, re-brand it as a Cloverfield movie, and voilà - your movie now gets a wide release!

Realtalk: this movie was predictable despite its attempts to be "hella random lol ;) ;)". At times it feels like entire exchanges between characters were cut out mid-scene. Characters are level-headed and a second later are suddenly screaming at each other over some super-forced point of drama.

I'm convinced that Netflix bought the rights to this just so they can get people interested in Altered Carbon.
