Thank you to Netflix for paying Paramount a ridiculous sum of money for this movie which meant that we did not have to trudge all the way to the cinema to be let down. Dropping unannounced globally after its Super Bowl TV spot, the third Cloverfield film is a very routine space-station horror-thriller that simply throws together a number of genre clichés (and the references are hardly subtle) without much regard for the creation of real drama or character. The cast has some strong players, but they do often seem to be performing in different movies at the same time. There are a couple of good exterior effects shots when the station starts falling apart, but overall this is a considerable step down from the first two Cloverfield films.
