Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Jez Lewis Given a free night to watch the first film on my own since I was unemployed for a while, I recalled the one I could not in all good conscience have removed from my watchlist. The reason being that I had left my wife to watch it to the end while I, in drunken stupour, slept from maybe 15 minutes in. 30 minutes in on my second viewing, I now admire my post reemployment euphoria induced inebriation judgement. If I am pleasantly surprised at a later juncture, I am not above admitting I was wrong.

CharbelRahme There is nothing special about this movie. It is almost a copy of every space movie. The idea is a bit complicated and this dis not help the movie at all.

The Movie Diorama Possibly employing the best marketing technique ever, announcing and releasing the film on the very same day to everyone's surprise, my excitement naturally exceeded my expectation. But then I read it: "no cinematic release". Immediately, I quivered in fear. Did the producers wander if this sci-fi thriller was not good enough for a theatrical release? They must've done, because guess what? It's. An. Absolute. Disaster. A group of astronauts attempt to solve Earth's energy crisis by using a particle accelerator on their space station, only to find themselves teleported to an alternate parallel dimension. My dissatisfaction for this tangled paradoxical mess knows no bounds. No suspense. No thrills. No engaging characters. Nothing. Aside from the pleasing visual effects, Mbatha-Raw's performance and the presence of Zhang Ziyi, who still remains underappreciated to this very day, the struggle to find enjoyment in this was real. Writer Uziel seemingly takes the sci-fi genre and decides to test the boundaries of illogicality. Never mix complication with fallaciousness. This results in the vast majority of the screenplay consisting of explanations in an attempt to form some sense of scientific reasoning, leaving no space for character development. In actual fact, these explanations are powered by various plot conveniences that still make no sense. The characters can shout out terms like "quantum entanglement" to explain the merging of dimensions, but the lack of conviction results in stupidity. The boring plot, pointless sub-plot and wooden characters are so thinly written that the air in space is thicker (hint: there is no air in space). O'Dowd's comedic relief was not wanted. Ortiz deserved more screentime. Ziyi decimated the competition. JJ Abrams should be embarrassed with this. I want 102 minutes back. Lazy, just stupendously lazy. This simply exists as a tenuous link to the 'Cloverfield' franchise. Except, the mystery has now been tainted. A colossal dimensional disappointment.

coex23 Cloverfield was fine. The "sequel" was really dull and kinda totally unrelated to the original. So, here we have the second "sequel" and it's equally silly. (Seriously, was it that hard to generate sequels related to the original?)If you care to enjoy this film, even as a badfilm worthy of a night of cheap beer, you absolutely must skip past the first 20 minutes. It is here where they set everything up, and it's so ridiculous that it makes watching the rest of the film difficult. The premise has to do with the Earth "running out of energy", so we send a bunch of crazed scientists to space to perform some vague experiment that is likely to rip open the space/time continuum; which (oh no, spoiler!) it does. From here on out, I kept scratching my head and saying to myself things like "well, if they didn't send these looneys up there, things might be fine" and "wait, so all the other issues on Earth weren't enough concern? it took a vague energy crisis to make them launch these clowns into space?" Et cetera. And if you're still watching, you have to be drinking something. The dialog and the characters are just crap. No beating around the bush here! It's a decent looking SciFi with absolutely nothing going for it except it's name... Avoid.
