When a movie is
well done, you can’t help but admire the creativity and production that went
into making it a fun piece to watch. The acting of the leads was phenomenal,
and the directing was totally awesome, deserving of applause for its delivery.
The movie is directed by first-time director Dan Trachtenberg.
The packaging of
this second film in the Cloverfield franchise is one to make your
mouth water. The movie’s suspense and intensity grab your attention and make
you concentrate, leaving you wondering:
- Will things turn out sexually odd for Michelle,
who’s locked in a bunker with two men?
- Is there really something out there killing people,
or is it biological warfare?
- If the air is toxic, what are those sounds we keep
hearing outside?
- And why is Howard so shifty?
With all this
running through your mind, just when things start to look like they’re adding
up, something else happens that sends you down another path of wondering.
The movie
features three main cast members, all locked in a bunker out of fear that the
world outside is too toxic to live in. The only other person in this movie is a
woman whose presence lasts about two minutes.
Do note:
Although this movie is produced by Bad Robot and is part of the Cloverfield franchise,
it is not a direct sequel to the 2008 found-footage-style movie Cloverfield.
The reason it was inducted as a franchise continuation is because of its theme,
suspense, and fear intensity, which led the producers to dub it a “spiritual
successor” to the first, but not a continuation. The entire movie’s content and
story are totally different from its 2008 predecessor.
As mentioned
above, the movie is about three people locked in a bunker out of fear that the
world outside has been left toxic after an attack by an unknown enemy.
The survivors—Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Howard (John Goodman), and
Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.)—are locked in a bunker owned by Howard and built by
Emmett. Michelle is told she was found by Howard after an accident, a story she
doubts to be true.
That’s not the only thing Howard tells Michelle that she questions, because the
longer she’s with him, the more obvious it becomes that Howard isn’t being
straightforward with his two other roommates.
Here’s a movie I
can guarantee you’ll enjoy and appreciate having seen.
