In 2007 I was all over the 1-18-08 buzz, the film, Cloverfield, was amazing. I loved LOST, so JJ Abrams producing a kaiju film? Yes Please! I loved the film, then 8 years later a trailer dropped for a sequel, an unannounced sequel! It too was amazing. Now we are getting a third and a fourth this year, but wait, the trailer for the third will debut at the Super Bowl, wait, the Super Bowl was the other night. Wait, the trailer announced the film would drop that night? I watched it the next day? You bet you ass i did. I am just not getting around to writing about it? YEP. Why? Cause, while i liked it, it was also meh. When it was over i watched a Futile & Stupid Gesture, and that overshadowed it, greatly. Then Tuesday i thought about the flaws, then Wednesday i was reading plenty of articles on it. It is a brilliant concept with a terrible execution. The film shouldn't have been a Cloverfield film, making multiverses here makes no sense. A Marvel film, sure, but not here. The plot is pure Alien, hell here it is more Sunshine, double hell, Life was out last year, so there is that. It's a decent but underwhelming film.
