There are many pitfalls, but there are remarkable points

The third installment of the Cloverfield series, I have been interested in this series since the first Cloverfield Archives in the series. The first installment is very attractive in terms of its monster theme and pseudo-documentary. This setting has directly become a sci-fi thriller, and it is also related to the first one. In order to solve the energy crisis, scientists collided particles in the space station, resulting in a series of strange events that connected the two universes. The story is simple but there are many grooves, the emotional line is weak and weak, and many details of the plot are more casual. The motives of the people's face paintings are ambiguous and unclear. Zhang Ziyi's text-style lines throughout the whole process are very entertaining. Everyone speaks English, but she speaks Chinese (ಥ_ಥ), and if the actors' Chinese has no subtitles, I can't understand a single sentence, only Daniel Buzz Ruhr's "shit"...

Only "Zemo" Daniel Brewer in "Captain America 3" and "Ayesha" Elizabeth Debicki in "Silver 2" performed well in the whole film.

But aside from the pitfalls, there are still remarkable things to note. The multiverse collides, the interpenetration and the setting of the multidimensional universe are quite interesting. The suspenseful atmosphere is well created, and there is also the expression of fear of the unknown (a bit of Cthulhu flavor). These two points are also reflected in the first and second parts. If you use snacks and craft it carefully, you can really Be a great series.

Although the quality and rating of the film have been declining, no matter what, I still hope that the next film (which has been filmed) can improve the quality. After all, this series still has great potential.

The Cloverfield Paradox quotes

  • Newscaster: Why does the Shepard Accelerator worry you so much?

    Mark Stambler: Because that accelerator is a thousand times more powerful than any ever built. Every time they test it, they risk open the membrane of space-time, smashing together multiple dimensions, shattering reality. And not just on that station, everywhere. This experiment could unleash chaos, the like of which we have never seen. Monsters, demons, beasts from the sea...

    Newscaster: To clarify, you believe their efforts to solve the energy crisis might unleash demons?

    Mark Stambler: Yeah. Oh, yeah. And not just here and now. In the past, in the future, in other dimensions. You have no idea I would love to be wrong about that.

    Kiel: Monk, turn that shit off.

  • Michael: Did he ask you?

    Hamilton: I'm not leaving you. That mission could be years.

    Michael: You said you could be back in six months.

    Hamilton: Do you want me to go?

    Michael: Joe knows what we've been through. And yet, he still wants you on the crew.

    Hamilton: There are other comm officers.

    Michael: Yeah, but he called you.

    Hamilton: Why are you pushing this?

    Michael: Why do you think? Forget about me and what I want, which is for you to stay. Why do you think?

    Hamilton: Because you're sweet. Because people are starving. Because our energy supplies are running out. And this mission could unlock an endless supply of power that could save us all.

    Michael: If you go... you and I... we'll survive. I'm afraid if you don't... no one will.
