The Cloverfield Paradox Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
Emily Gaudette
One of the big problems with Paradox is that 85 percent of the film is explanation, leaving very little time for character development.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
There are humanist bits and chunks of "Interstellar" and "Arrival," though in order to set up another chapter of this loosely assembled saga of woe, "The Cloverfield Paradox" eventually, dutifully gets around to a nonhuman adversary in close-up.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
The fastest turnaround from must-see event to disappointing dud in history.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Yet as obnoxiously convoluted and overwrought as everything is, somehow [director Julius] Onah manages to still present things in a way that's fascinating no matter how pointlessly bizarre much of what is transpiring undeniably is.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Somewhere along the development trail, someone in charge should have said: Arm! Get me a rewrite, arm!
The Ringer
K. Austin Collins
Paradox is a dramatically indecisive, tonally convoluted, poorly written mess.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
Ten years and three films deep, the loose trilogy is a case study in marketing, a portrait of how the noise around a franchise starts to matter more than the movies that form the franchise.
Associated Press
Mark Kennedy
Somewhere in "The Cloverfield Paradox" is an excellent sci-fi thriller but one that's in desperate need of sharpening. It's no disaster, like Netflix's recent "Bright," but it tries too hard to give something to everyone and ends of unsatisfying...
The New Republic
Jo Livingstone
In the end, the plot is disappointingly simple. The terrors of the first two movies are explained away in a summary flourish, and their mysteries neutralized. The script is not good.
The Verge
Tasha Robinson
The characters are all painfully sincere - but they're also generic, bland, and barely developed. When they inevitably start dying, there's no sense of loss, either for the audience or the crew.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
Here's what it looks like when a routine bad movie goes off its rocker.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Much has been made over the years about Abrams' "mystery box," a storytelling model of pure tease. In the case of The Cloverfield Paradox, it's just a fancy word for "junk drawer."
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Director Julius Onah's film strands its solid cast in the vacuum of space with that most terrifying of monsters -- an utterly convoluted script -- producing a few tense moments but a general takeaway that's much closer to puzzling than profound.
The Atlantic
David Sims
The Cloverfield Paradox tries to tie into its 2008 forebear in a much more literal sense, and the result feels spectacularly inept.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
It's worth remembering that the Cloverfield movies were only able to successfully disrupt conventional distribution methods because they're good. The best thing you can say about this one is that it's free with your Netflix subscription.
Slate
Sam Adams
It's a horror movie one moment, a comedy the next, as if Netflix were streaming several different titles at once.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
What excitement this movie is able to muster soon gives way to the startling realization that virtually none of its twists, for all their dimension-hopping audacity, have been coherently or intelligently thought through.

Chris Stuckmann
As a space thriller it works well enough, but as a film that tries to traverse and connect the Cloverfield universe my brain is exploding -- and not in a good way.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Sorry on its own terms, The Cloverfield Paradox proves the limits of trying to salvage troubled movies via franchise-extending gimmickry.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Sounds intriguing, but the actual movie is strangely plain, eyesore-overlit and uselessly frantic.
