A surprise premiere but a surprisingly bad premise

| Aug 7, 2023

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 4/10 | May 19, 2022

The result entertains, mildly so, but the film isn't as intelligent as should be or thinks it is.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 14, 2022

Clunky connections to Cloverfield, obvious retooling in post-production, unintentionally goofy tone, bad dialogue, and wasting of a talented cast.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 29, 2021

Not the best of the saga, but it fulfills its mission of entertaining and serving as an expository film. [Full review in Spanish]

Onah combines space horror and monster movies in a genre-bending thriller that keeps the audience on its toes until the very end.

Uninspired, lazy, and mostly just nonsensical, The Cloverfield Paradox is a waste of a perfectly executed marketing stunt.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 29, 2021

A space adventure of sorts, The Cloverfield Paradox certainly fits into the Clover-verse, but it's a matter of how well.

It's instantly difficult to dismiss the potency of Bear McCreary's music, which is jolting, haunting, and wholly cinematic.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 5, 2020

Unfortunately, the hype surrounding the super secretive and constantly delayed film turned out to be more interesting than the actual film itself.

The Cloverfield Paradox is too silly to live up to its potential.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 18, 2020

Despite the two-dimensionality of the characters, the story has some strong moments. It's not consistently tense, the way the first two entries were...but it does have a few decent, suspenseful scenes, enough to...make you care about the outcome.

It's an amazingly diverse film with gorgeous cinematography and great effects work.

Things get weird and each scene turns into the piece of an interdimensional jigsaw, which keeps things interesting for most of the time. [Full review in Spanish]

It was a shame to see the hype-to-backlash cycle boiled down to just a few short hours on a Super Bowl Sunday. The marketing was ingenious, but the film itself could not live up to the 'event'. A let down for fans of the first two films.

| Jul 2, 2020

A] fun, attractively shot sci-fi thriller that benefits from solid production value and a killer cast.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 7, 2020

Despite its flaws, "The Cloverfield Paradox" does make for a fun space horror film, especially since you've likely already paid for Netflix this month.

| Oct 31, 2019

Its lazy characters and the shallow personality of the story defines it until thew movie completely faints at the end. [Full Review in Spanish]

As a film in its own right The Cloverfield Paradox is a complicated mess.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 27, 2019
