Okay, so, when Cloverfield first came out (ignoring the fact it was just a poorly done version of The Host), I did not like the movie at all. After a while of hearing everyone else talk about how good it was and how I should give it another chance, I did. And disliked it just the same. So then I wrote a Things I Fear Movie Review for 10 Cloverfield Lane. And then you read it. And liked it?
So the story begins during some mid-apocalyptic stage in life. Years later, the sequel or prequel or something to this movie comes out and that takes place at the same time. I watched that one too, I studied it and I have concluded that I have no idea why people like either movie. This one is basically just John Goodman with a weird god complex with a couple aliens making cameos. If you like psychological thrillers without the physiological aspect or the thriller component and you really like barely seeing aliens for more than 2 minutes in an alien-themed movie, this one’s for you!
So the main characters are in some bomb shelter thing that everyone apparently knew about but people are still surprised about. The kidnapper/good samaritan’s “daughter” may or may not have actually existed at all while the enter plot hinges on a completely sinister, face-melting toxin which is only explained by 2 dead pigs, barely in view from behind 4-inches of bullet-proof glass. That’s your proof and also the most compelling portion of the entire story-line.
Did this 10 Cloverfield Lane Movie Review sum things up for you? Let us know on Facebook! This is definitely one to avoid watching if you are looking to occupy your time with anything beyond adequate mediocrity. Otherwise, it’s gold, Jerry, gold!
