The Cloverfield Paradox • February 5, 2018 [Netflix]
According to Deadline, Netflix may be buying nearly all of the rights to the untitled Cloverfield sequel from Paramount, thus it would debut on the streaming service rather than have a traditional cinema release. No word from Netflix or Paramount yet.
Deadline has reported that Netflix may be dropping a trailer sometime during the Super Bowl, and in a revolutionary move, the film could be available for streaming immediately after the game finishes.
UPDATE: Netflix has announced it’ll be available for streaming tonight immediately after the game. Trailer on the OP.
Definitely the weakest out of the three Cloverfield films so far. A strong cast (Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Zhang Ziyi, Elizabeth Debicki) and visually impressive, as expected, but the narrative and writing are the film’s biggest downfalls. Personally, it isn’t as good as the previous two, but it also isn’t completely terrible either.
The video below links the three movies together pretty interestingly. Spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen the films.
This was… not good. You can tell that it started off as a completely different movie and they didn’t add any of the Cloverfield stuff until after production had originally ended. The fact that Paramount unloaded it on Netflix cause they thought it wouldn’t have made back its budget with a traditional release should let people know this is a dud.
