Atlanta United is not only a premier soccer blog and organizer of food eating contests, it’s also a movie review website! After the Super Bowl I noted that Cloverfield Paradox or whatever it’s called was part 3 of a trilogy that nobody ever asked for [Warning: no spoilers, but bad movie grousing ahead] I finally got around to watching it and wow was I right! This is mostly a ‘B’ level space thriller - I guess - with some fun post-apocalyptic themes that usually I’m on board for.
The problem is that there’s not a lot of tension that’s built up in the film, the scares don’t really deliver, the comic relief is adequate, one scare is accidentally funny, and the end of the movie veers from ‘film that takes itself seriously but is basically an average - step above SciFi channel movie’ to Sharknado - but on accident.
