Was it supposed to be on Netflix today ?

Yep, last night after the super bowl

No, I got it, I'm watching it (and liking it) but I'm completely confused by the release strategy.

[Zabatakis]

What is this movie even about? The trailers give me no idea and I don't want to wiki/imdb for fear of spoilers.

I see, yeah. The first trailer hit during the game and there was a twitter exchange with the director saying something about "why didn't they fucking say tonight and not just coming soon" and the netflix account replied saying "it's fucking coming tonight" lol but yeah... kinda dumb when you consider more people give zero fux about one game in one sport than did care.

I saw the first Cloverfield, never saw the second (as I saw no connection at all and thought that was stupid), not sure I want to watch this one.

It was set in the same story, and the disaster was happening (or some disaster was happening) it just didn't pick up from the first.

I like what Neil Degrasse-Tyson says when I see stuff like this - "the universe isn't obliged to make sense to you"

But we're not talking about the universe. We're talking about a shitty, half-baked sci-fi script that pretends to be about a thousand times smarter than it really is.

They should have just wrote in that "a space wizard did it" and it would instantly make way more sense.

Pretty good movie, totally shocked by the release method but I'd love to see more studios do this, even if it costs a fee to watch it while it was in theater. I also liked how it left it open for more movies, or perhaps a netflix series.

[SL1200]

I liked the movie. Pretty much exactly what you can expect from anything JJ abrams makes. Lots of interesting mysterious stuff going on.

[Gib Lover]

I'm glad you all enjoyed it and I'm not going to say you're wrong but to me this movie was ass. Complete failure as a Cloverfield prequel (to me), complete failure as a standalone movie (to me). It was like Event Horizon thrown in a blender with Alien and Life, but these ingredients taste better alone rather than in a smoothie.

[Nellise]

This was depressingly stupid and I feel dumb for not having waited for reviews before watching it (and is probably why it got released this way). All the Cloverfield stuff is obviously tacked on to a completely separate movie. Nothing makes any sense if you even try to think about it for half a second. Trying to explain it away as 2 dimensions merging still doesn't explain anything other than giving some excuse for random stuff to happen.

And Foosball table of doom!

[Nanaboostme]

Movie was nostalgic to LOST.

A lot of intense paranormal mysteries events happening; but ending many without detailed answers.

I did enjoy it but it started to get dull after the characters realized their ultimate objective around the around the Water Drowning scene

[Seramore]

Nope, i mean the 1st Cloverfield movie, which happens on May 22nd and concludes with footage of a date which happened on April 27.
During that date in the background something can be seen falling into the sea in the background; and that something is very likely the main character's escape pod.
So basically: Cloverfield 3 ends almost a month before the main events from Cloverfield 1.

oh ok fuck my post rite

Oh goodie, something to watch!

From what i'm reading it's a prequel;the final scene from the 1st movie (the flashback) shows the final scene from this one

It's both a prequel and a sequel. One of the crashes from the ship in space leads to Cloverfield via time travel, and I'm pretty sure the future of Cloverfield leads to all of Cloverfield Paradox. The movie is literally a paradox.

[callipygoustp]

Yeah, people said that when Netflix first started putting out shows.

Beat me to it. "Netflix shows will never being able to compete with standard broadcast channels." Which was amazing to hear given the success of so many HBO series before Netflix started in on it.

Edit:
I liked it - 7/10. I don't think that it was great but it was solid. The cast was good, the acting was fine. The story made sense. I didn't find myself wondering away to do other things in the middle of it.

[Gallahadd]

Eh, it was alright. Maybe a 6/10.

Actors were good, and did they best they could with a fairly generic plot/script. Bear McCreary's score was superb, as always.

Tbh, while they sort of hinted/implied an explanation for the whole bigger picture, I would have liked a bit more on it. Maybe in the sequel...

What was up with the kid anyway? Molly was her name?

I didn't get it. Why she was screaming there alone? The guy saved her and took her to the bunker. Found out her parents are alive. Then, nothing....?

Like...why was she in the movie?

Did you not pay attention to the movie? She said her uncle died.

[Puupi]

She said her uncle died.

,...........and? That doesn't even remotely justify the character to exist in the movie.

Why does any character outside of the space station crew exist in the movie?

[Puupi]

Why does any character outside of the space station crew exist in the movie?

There were two concrete characters outside the space station. The man, who was the husband of the main character, and the girl.

The man made sense. The girl, however, did not.

My point is that there has to be some kind of deeper meaning of that girl - probably relating to the previous movies - that I didn't realize.

Because if there isn't, her existence was the biggest bullshit I've seen scripted in quite some time.

I disagree, your logic tells me that characters outside of the space station don't make any sense at all.
