Bird Box

Whilst Bird Box isn't going to win any awards for originality, it packs just enough of a punch to succeed on the whole. Some people complain about the pacing being too slow. I found it just about right, with the timeline shift back and forth providing some much needed intrigue and mystery as the film develops. I have to say, this film has one of the more memorable and affecting opening sequences I've seen for some time and is played brilliantly.

The cast does a stellar job with what is ultimately a minimalist piece relying on tension building and dread, which they do admirably. A special mention has to go to Sandra Bullock who is terrific as Malorie, and Sarah Paulson who turns in an extremely brief but memorable performance that I was thinking about long after the credits had rolled.

All in all a very solid little movie without any bells and whistles. Give it a go, you might be surprised. It certainly surprised me.

How have human beings become this dumb? Seems like in this day and age, you can't make movies that don't show and explain everything anymore. People don't even trust their own imaginations/assumptions, or people just don't have imaginations anymore. One reviewer said "If I wanted to imagine my own ending I'd just imagine the entire story!" except that he can't. You can't even use your brain to imagine an ending to a ridiculously simple movie, how can you imagine the entire story? Now, the movie itself, to me, was nothing to write home about. It's a post-apocalypse movie, post-apocalypse movies are like zombie movies, they are not to be taken seriously. They usually don't have sensible plot, they exist just for the sole purpose of entertainment (other than to make money of course), not awards season, and one viewing is enough. Just ignore the hype around this movie. Don't expect anything groundbreaking or original. Yes, some characters did do stupid things like characters in post-apocalypse/zombie/horror movies always do, but it's tolerable. If you can sit back and enjoy it for what it is, you might as well be entertained. I think if you watch it with this mindset you won't be disappointed UNLESS you are the type who want everything to be shown and explained to you all the time. In that case, no, you won't get an answer to where the young couple who ran away with the car ended up in, or whether they made it alive or not.

Started off with a great premise, but dragged on far too long for such a weak finish.

A bit over hyped but it's an ok to good movie watchable and intense at times , I would say it's a really good science fiction movie without all the stupid unbelievable imagination.

"Bird Box" is a sci-fi action movie produced by Neflix and like in other films, with many overrated fake reviews in IMDb by hired users or robots promoting the flick. The storyline is the same of "A Quiet Place" as well the lack of explanation who the creatures are. The unbelievable plot, where a man is capable to drive a car with black windows using the GPS through streets full of corpses and accidents or a woman with two children rows a boat in a river and runs through a forest blindfolded is boring in many moments. Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich, who are the greatest names of this film, perform obnoxious characters. The conclusion is awful with a ridiculous sanctuary and leaves the viewers with many questions and no answers. My vote is six.
