The first Cloverfield, which came out back in 2008, was a crazy good found-footage thrill ride that introduced a scary new movie monster to the world. Its sequel, 10 Cloverfield Lane, was a tense piece of Hitchcockian greatness with a less-than-stellar last-minute Cloverfield tie-in. The Cloverfield Paradox, the new chapter in this anthology franchise, is just boring and confusing, featuring a franchise tie-in that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The film's attractive cast and popping visuals fail to save the lousy script, which is utterly devoid of tension, engaging characters and genuine surprises.

If you go into this pretending it has absolutely nothing to do with any other Cloverfield movies, this is actually a decent sci-fi with a great cast, some freaky scenes and a quasi-intelligent plot. But trying to muscle it into the Cloverfield universe is just sloppy - it would work much better as a stand alone alternate reality film with no ties to an established series. The Cloverfield hate is justified, but overall it's not as bad as I was expecting.

Cloverfield Paradox convolutes the Cloverfield universe more than ever with cringe-worthy writing. Wasting the beautiful effect and great acting! Thanks Netflix for not making spend $25 dolars on this garbage! 4/10 Check out my full review on youtube here: https://youtu.be/n63SEy9c0Pw

Worst Black Mirror episode ev- oh wait. Didn't expect this to be released today on Netflix and after seeing it, I can see why. You know it's not a good sign when things get rushed and the release date gets canceled just to be dumped on Netflix. Doesn't feel like an actual movie with nothing cinematic about it. Wasn't hyped for this in the first place, but the end result is disappointing.b
