leigh-williams888 This is up there with the worst movies I've seen. And I've seen Arrival.

jacobmerrychambers I really love the Cloverfield franchise and I had to wait 4 months after this film was released to watch it as I don't have Netflix but when I was at a relatives house I got to watch it and even though it had been spoiled for me I really enjoyed it . Was some of it confusing ? Yes but nothing in the Cloververse is ever laid out for us is it ? This film answers some burning questions such as why was their a giant Monster in the ocean in the first place for Tagruato to discover ? Because it was sent there due to the space station messing up time in this films dimension. Where did the aliens come from in 10 Cloverfield Lane ? They're ere transported there due to the space station messing up time . This film also had some awesome Easter eggs such as the logos for Tagruato and some of its subsidiaries being seen on the space station but this film had one Easter egg which I absolutely love in 10 Cloverfield Lane Emmit says he saw a red flash in the sky in this film the Space station emits (no pun intended) a red flash . Something else which is just pure speculation on my part but we see parts of the station fall off in this film which could mean that it's part of the space station we see fall into the water in the first film and the final thing is that the monster in the first film is described as a baby it would seem that the monster in this film is the mother !!!Do I recommend this movie ? If you love the othe Cloverfield movies then absolutely if you've not seen them then go watch them and look into the ARG (basically the backstory to certain things which you can find online ) and then watch this film

pzautner The last half hour of the movie I just wanted the main character Hamilton to effing die. Her alltime stupidity wasn't bearable anymore, as well as that constant crying just jumped my nerves. Biggest waste of time.

gogoschka-1 Well, maybe I didn't have very high expectations or my inner cynic has taken a holiday, but unlike the bulk of critics and reviewers here I found this to be a perfectly serviceable piece of pulpy sci-fi/horror entertainment. It's no '2001', granted, but it's a very good looking film with nice visual effects - especially considering the budget - with solid performances by a talented cast, and it doesn't bore you for a second. I'm willing to bet most genre geeks like me (by which I mean people who have a soft spot in their heart for any halfway decent looking sci-fi or horror B-movie), would describe this film as fun.And while admittedly about as scientifically credible as a superhero movie, it's not quite as dumb and far-fetched as many of the most scathing reviewers seem to think it is. What quite a few people apparently didn't get is that 'The Cloverfield Paradox' riffs on the very real hysteria that broke out a couple of years ago when the CERN in Geneva (Switzerland) conducted an experiment to find the Higgs Boson (aka the "God Particle" - which incidentally was also the film's original title.) The CERN scientists hoped to find the God Particle by simulating conditions in the Large Hadron Collider - the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth - that were supposedly similar to those in the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang.A lot of people worldwide got scared shîtless by that idea, because they thought such a simulation could have unpredictable and possibly catastrophic consequences, and a couple of scientists even tried to stop the experiment by filing a case to the European Human Rights Court. The wildest theories started popping up in the media, like the experiment would cause black holes that would suck up Earth or open doors into other dimensions; heck: even a portal to Hell was considered a possibility, allowing demons to roam the Earth. So of course it was only a matter of time until a genre film would exploit the idea of a particle accelerator accidentally causing a rift into other dimensions and parallel realities across the space-time continuum.And let's be fair here for a moment: in the history of stupid ideas for movies - especially genre pictures - this certainly isn't the dumbest concept ever to base a sci-fi/horror film on. Also, by putting a Cloverfield spin on it - which, btw, actually is kind of fitting given it offered the chance to explain how the creature from the first film "stranded" on earth - the filmmakers managed to get the film a kind of attention it otherwise certainly wouldn't have had. It was a smart marketing stunt (as was selling the movie to Netflix) and probably crucial to keeping the film cost effective and being able to put as much money as possible into the visual effects (the budget for the whole film was only 25 million, and practically the only P&A costs this film had was the Super Bowl ad).What I also don't get is why people expect "hard" science from the kind of pulpy sci-fi/horror movie 'The Cloverfield Paradox' clearly is; there's obviously nobody who knows what would or wouldn't happen if other dimensions and parallel universes existed, let alone how physics would behave if they somehow "crashed" into each other. And of course it's all speculation and characters behaving erratically: that's part of what makes those films FUN. And believe it or not, that's exactly what I had. But don't take my word for it, make up your own mind; chances are, if you're into genre picutures (where solid entries with very decent visual effects are few and far between), you'll experience a similar sensation.P.S.
