Economically told from the start, the film moves beautifully. Read full review

The tension is rooted in psychology rather than gimmickry, and evinces a command of craft that feels old-fashioned in the most refreshing possible sense. Read full review

10 Cloverfield Lane...is not an outright Cloverfield sequel but rather, as Abrams has put it, a “spiritual successor.” It’s also a better movie, one with a sense of humor about itself and its genre. Read full review

It's best to approach this crafty, intriguing offshoot as its own thing. And this time you actually notice the people. Read full review

10 Cloverfield Lane does what it needs to do: make you sit and squirm and want very badly to know. It has the appeal of suspense radio plays from the '30s and '40s and even a touch of Orson Welles’s most infamous Mercury Theater broadcast. Read full review

Board games, threats from Howard and desperate escape planning by Michelle take up most the picture. And then, first-time feature director Dan Trachtenberg and the screenwriters, apparently realizing that not much has been going on so far, ramp up to a full-bore CG explosion extravaganza finale...Too little. Too late. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE science fiction golden child jj abrams again super idea and a great movie.

I first saw this cool start-up movie cloverfield in 2008 and then I learned that it was a serial, and there were a total of 3 movies linked to each other with small details.After this movie I will watch the movie cloverfield paradox.

Now let's go movie. Michelle, the heroine's lover we see fighting and collecting things and going to one place but we never find out where it goes We're constantly confused throughout the movie but we take almost all the answers we just do not know where Michelle went, I think it would be nice to have information about it.

then we open our eyes in a shelter, I do not know how many hours have been left unconscious.Was it during the movie that it was invasive or not?Like Howard is bad or good.There's a constant dilemma throughout the film that can amaze you anytime A great movie full of surprises.There may already be some question marks on the entire cloverfield series that have never been squeezed into a wonderful mystery bunker that is a completely different mystery.

It's a bit confusing in the final stages and it sounds a bit absurd to me, but the movie is really nice.… Expand

I enjoyed the first Cloverfield movie for the most part, but the frenetic pacing and shaky camerawork made for an exhausting experience. 10 Cloverfield lane is a totally different experience for most of the movie, and to say much more would be giving too much away. Just go and see it.

The shaky cam is nowhere to be found here (thank God). Praise John Goodman's performance; he brought constant chills down my spine as the film's antagonist.

I should also point out that I never knew that this movie was related to the original Cloverfield. I just thought it something of a coincidence, I made the connection late in the film. Eerie, thrilling, and well acted, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a must watch for anybody looking for a thrill!… Expand

John Goodman did an outstanding job in playing a truly unpredictable character that makes those watching question him the whole way. Mary Elizabeth Winstead did a great job in her role as well while bringing a little humor to the screen. The movie is truly remarkable, however I found the end to be rushed and a little underwhelming when you finally learn what happened on the surface. Overall it is definitely worth the money!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Movie about a girl stuck in a bunker with a creepy John Goodman, she escapes, and yes, there's aliens flying around, in case that didn't seem already obvious given the movie's name. I just don't see why this has been getting good reviews, the acting is meh, the story doesn't really go anywhere and reveal anything you didn't already know was coming, and worst of all, there wasn't any point to making or releasing this film. NOBODY, I mean nobody, was asking for a Cloverfield spin-off film.… Expand
