Review of The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) by Flexedacorn — 08 Feb 2018

First things first isolation sci fi thrillers are my favorite genre. That being said I give this movie a 6 out of 10. It felt like a B movie that hired a lot of well-known actors, not a total waste of time but something I might be upset if I paid money to see in theater.

Luckily for me this was a Netflix exclusive so it was a nice little bonus film for having the service. For me this was the weakest entry in the Cloverfield franchise, the film was clearly piggy backing off the success of the previous films without bringing much new to the table.

I did like the space setting and the actors worked well with the scripts they had, though they did fall prey to the familiar horror movie tropes. You would think the greatest minds in the world would be a bit more informed on space time theories and paradoxes.

It did have a nice little connection to the other films and somewhat offered a vague explanation to the origins of the previous films. If you have Netflix and want a sci fi film to pass the time on a day off, then give it a shot.

Just remember, you might be a little let down If you are expecting the same quality as the 1st and 2nd Cloverfield movies.
