Horror Fridays: The Cloverfield Paradox
Dear Visitor,
During the Super Bowl, Netflix premiered the trailer for THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX and I about lost my mind with excitement. I love the Cloverfield franchise! So I was definitely excited about an installment set in outer space. However, it turns out not many people were happy with it like I was.
I'm not saying that THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX was perfect. You didn't really connect with the characters which is rather upsetting since the cast was stellar. There was also a little confusion with the arm. How was it able to tell the crew what they needed to know to fix the navigation?
The loudest complaint I heard was that people were confused about what happened to the crew. I didn't understand the confusion. The characters literally tell you what happened and before they start up their machine, you hear a news report of a scientist explaining what the "Cloverfield Paradox" is. Seriously, pay attention!
Personally, I liked this movie. I thought it was so messed up when they really showed the clash between dimension with the Russian crew member being filled with worms! Or how a crew member from another dimension ended up in a wall....a freaking wall! It had me at the edge of my seat a couple of times.
I thought this movie was fun. It was really the critics' mistake for thinking it would be something more that what it was. Not every movie is going to be perfect and sometimes the more enjoyable movies are the ones that are simple.
This was simply a cheesy space horror. What really kept it entertaining were the visuals and the top notch actors. So please, gather your friends, grabs some junk food and beers, and enjoy!
With Love,
M.G.
