The Cloverfield Paradox has been absolutely savaged by critics. As of this publication, the film currently has a 17% rating on rotten tomatoes. Like 10 Cloverfield Lane (which I loved), The Cloverfield Paradox was originally a separate, completely unrelated project, before J.J. Abrams and his production team worked it into the Cloverfield universe. The Cloverfield Paradox, originally under a script titled The God Particle, had a long production history and heavy post-production editing, resulting in a ballooned budget. Paramount Pictures had so little faith in the film it struck a deal with Netflix and used a clever and genuinely surprising Super Bowl spot to advertise the film. If you’re looking for another excoriation of The Cloverfield Paradox stop now. Sorry to disappoint you, but I actually liked this movie.

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) Movie Review

April 4, 2016 Steve Baqqi

10 Cloverfield Lane has been on my list of films to see for some time now, but I had not gotten the chance due to something else always getting in the way.  I was also concerned about whether I would be ill informed, not having seen the original. I can confidently say that viewership of the original Cloverfield is not necessary. I was expecting another found footage type spectacle (akin to the original film), but instead I got a tense, atmospheric, and deeply engaging thriller that’s as disturbing as it is entertaining.
