Review of The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) by Helohe — 06 Feb 2018

The science in this movie just does not make any sense. It is not just bad it is completely wrong and annoyingly so. Spacestation breaks appart and stuff keeps spinning around it even though it is not attached to anything.

Hatchdoor breaks and water and body freezes instantly. Gravity looks like to be sometimes present and sometimes not, depending on convenience. Hand from other universe can move by itself and can hear and see apparently as well without being attached to anything.

Guy looses arm and is like "oh-well-whatever". People use too much energy on earth and fight war about the energy. Then instead of building more tried and trusted renewable energy sources, they build giant expensive space station based on untested physical theory with only enough energy for 5 or so tries and hope for the best.

Meanwhile on earth everyone continues driving cars and using cell phones and fancy computers with buttons built into the desk and what-not and sparkly lights. Looks like there is no energy crisis going on whatsoever.

The monsters or whatever that only appear like 2 seconds in the end of the movie are not explained. The parallel-universe story that is going on in the movie could explain that they come from the other universe, but even though the spacestation seems to suddenly have all the data from said universe (even though having been transported there from the regular universe) does not list anything about those monsters being there.

Also the character from the other universe does not say anything about it. Apparrently you need a hyper-expensive gyroscope to just make a simple position analysis using known constellations. Apparently particle collisions can create deamons if one is to believe some guy they show in the tv.

Also saying the particle accellerator is 1000x stronger than any ever built is kind of a lame comparison in terms of the scale involved in the energies of particle physics. Also the movie sucks.
