The Cloverfield Paradox
Stream
Orbiting above a planet on the brink of war, scientists test a device to solve an energy crisis and end up face-to-face with a dark alternate reality.
What critics thought
The Cloverfield Paradox landed on Netflix with a buzzy Super Bowl drop but was met with widespread critical disappointment. Most reviewers found it a derivative, genre-scrambled mess that failed to deliver on the franchise mythology its marketing promised, with a strong ensemble cast being the one element critics were willing to defend.
“trainwreck of a sci-fi flick bent on extending a franchise that should have died a peaceful death almost exactly one decade ago”
John DeFore·The Hollywood Reporter
“it stalls the franchise as a pastiche of sci-fi cinema veiled in clever marketing”
Dino-Ray Ramos·Deadline Hollywood
“helps keep the wheels in motion, with a perpetual motion that never lets up”
