What to Know

Critics Consensus

Brilliant casting is overshadowed by a muddled mix of genres and storylines that scratch more heads than sci-fi itches in The Cloverfield Paradox.

Emily Gaudette Newsweek One of the big problems with Paradox is that 85 percent of the film is explanation, leaving very little time for character development. Mar 5, 2018 Full Review Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune There are humanist bits and chunks of "Interstellar" and "Arrival," though in order to set up another chapter of this loosely assembled saga of woe, "The Cloverfield Paradox" eventually, dutifully gets around to a nonhuman adversary in close-up. Feb 9, 2018 Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Its twists feel routine, its narrative spine limp and its conclusion especially rushed. Rated: 2/4 Feb 9, 2018 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews A surprise premiere but a surprisingly bad premise Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It’s a traditional sci-fi horror picture that doesn’t break new ground outside of its slick advertising trick. But is it really trying to break new ground? I would argue it’s trying to make a fun, intriguing “Cloverfield” installment. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Daniel Howat Next Best Picture It’s tough to see some of the creativity go to waste here, along with this strong cast. Unfortunately, old tropes and poor plotting are all hard to overlook. The Cloverfield Paradox feels more like a low-tier Black Mirror episode. Rated: 4/10 May 19, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Ryan W One Cloverfield movie was enough. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review arianna h What a waste of my time I should not have felt smarter than a bunch of scientists who are supposed to be saving the world. And what in the world was the last clip that was a knockoff donkey kong and there was no build up please delete this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Daniel J Olha O PARADOXO CLOVERFIELD não pode ter alcançado o sucesso que queria mas ele é muito bom o roteiro pode ser ruim mas amei o filme ainda que tem haver com espaço amei que o J J Abrams fez nesse filme tá de parabéns 🎈🎉 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Neil S I liked it. I randomly watch this movie at least three times per year Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Bruno V Esse filme me decepcionou muito, embora seja muito bom de fato. A abordagem do paradoxo ficou sem enfase para quem é leigo. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Veronica L Good sci-fi movie. Just skip the last couple minutes Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
