I love the premise of this science fiction story when judged alone from the others. I think they should have focused more on what was happening on earth and replaced some of the drawn out slow emotional scenes of crew members.

Worst of the trilogy by a mile. The acting, editing, and pacing are all terrible here. Besides Hamilton who isn't that good still but the best of a bad cast, they all just blend in. Mundy is terrible and I'm not sure if he's trying to be comedic relief or not, Jensen is super lifeless boring and a lame "Villian", and the rest are super forgettable, just rattle off plot, or are boring and lifeless. There's too many characters in general here. Once there on the station literally right from the start it feels like stuff just happens. It's like a combo of Poltergeist/The Shining on a space station. 90% of the scary things that happen are scary, make any sense, add anything to the plot or characters. and it cuts away and jumps around terrible half the time. The whole thing with the husband on earth feels completely pointless too. The music is probably the best thing. It's boring, forgettable, and generic. The cinmeaotgraphy isn't good either. It's basic direction, so dark and lifeless to look at half the time, too much CGI, and the setting isn't that memorable. No tension at all, it's not scary, and it fails as a horror or Sci-Fi flick. Skip This. A failed edition to the anthology shared universe series.

Oh, come on! It's a sci-fi horror movie that has an incredible cast, tremendous production values and a cool story that links into the Clover-verse! Geez guys, just relax and have fun. The payoff? Great ending.

At this point, Cloverfield is less of a connected series and more of an anthology, so I judge these movies as standalones. This movie is a great standalone movie, but it's also kinda connected to Cloverfield.
Firstly, as a standalone movie, this is great. It's like Wild Blue Yonder meets an indie multiverse movie where everything is messed up in the alternate universes. It's entertaining, weird and, above all, experimental. I quite like it. It's just fun, well made and well shot. The acting is also great and it's weird seeing actors I know for specific roles in different roles e.g. Daniel Brühl, who played Schmidt and who I'm used to seeing as Helmut Zemo in the MCU.
And then we have the ending. We're back in the main universe, everything is happy... but it's not. We get Michael shouting through his phone, desperately telling the people on the other side to send Ava and Schmidt back. But we don't learn why, until we get a shot of the clouds, and Clover appears. If you haven't seen Cloverfield, you can tell that the timelines have changed and they might be in danger. But if you've seen Cloverfield, you know how much danger Ava and Michael are in. You've seen Clover's rampage in New York. And that was just a baby. This is an adult Clover. It's a great ending.
Overall, a great standalone film but also a great spiritual sequel to Cloverfield.

This is one of the worst sci-fi movies I've seen in years. As an audience member, I found it pretty hard to relate to many of the characters and that was mainly because the only actor who performed well was the guy who played Kiel, however the actress for Ava had her moments at times as well to be fair. While the ending was also somewhat intriguing, at the end of the day it made the whole movie's central plot of trying to find a way back home to their Earth/dimension for nothing, especially since there won't be a sequel! Plus, the main solution that they tried with getting back home was extremely highly improbable to work, but they did it anyways and it did?? How many other parallel universes and dimensions could they have possibly ended up in aside from the original one?? Literally more than millions and millions right?? At one point I just stopped paying attention too. Most of the time, I was uninterested. They went from a really good and original found footage piece of art to this??? Really??
