Cloverfield Part 3

The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

Dir- Julius Onah


The crew of the Cloverfield Spacestation, facing a worldwide energy crisis and a potential war over resources, is tasked with testing new technologies that could result in unlimited energy for the planet yet their experiments have a surprising result that shock the whole crew as well as people on the planet's surface. As the third movie of the Cloverfield franchise, the Cloverfield Paradox was known as The God Particle and was intended to be released in early 2017 but was shelved until February of 2018 where it was premiered on Netflix after Super Bowl LII with its new official title. As with the previous films, there was plenty of secrets and speculation on the plot of the film as well as a similar space station centered movie called "Life" that forced the film to go through some reediting. Unlike "Life," Cloverfield III does not feature an alien or creature as the primary nemesis but is more Sci-Fi centered with a plot that focuses on the aftermath of a failed experiment that has unintended consequences. The movie has an excellent set design, good special effects and the performance of the actors is pretty decent, yet some may have difficulty with the plot as it does rely upon some scientific principles that may be above some viewers understanding. Overall this third entry in the Cloverfield series should add to what is already a great franchise.
