Review of The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) by Ryanvang — 07 Feb 2018

So I kind of feel like I just watched two completely different movies. It started off dark and scary, and at some point it kind of flips a switch and starts to feel a lot like a new Star Trek movie.

This feels like a movie someone took a chance on, the studio maybe got cold feet, and then they brought in Bad Robot to save the day. Stick a vague franchise tag on it, toss in a few easter eggs, and bam! you have a Cloverfield movie.

I appreciate a lot about the movie, but it was just too jarring of a change.
