Abrams went back and forth were the monster came from part one if we going by part 3. No way in hell that was the monster from part 1. He was dormant under ground and was woke up by a submarine now all of sudden he is a cosmic space monster from the time space continuum? Do you see why that shyt is confusing?

Not knowing doesn't mean bad.

In this case I think you didnt understand paradox on the first go round.

But this causes more confusion because the event started the same way in 2008 it did in 2018. A satellite falling in the water...But in 2016 they are attacked by aliens and there were no space anything in the 1940's..And in the movie the universes we're parallel to each other ....so if the paradox was caused in 2018 why would 1940/2008/2016 be affected by this event when the movie showed us a parallel event? I mean I know the real answer they shoehorned this shyt together that's why shyt doesn't smell right. But going by that chart makes new questions the movie didn't answer on top of the other shyt

A movie left you with questions. I'm so sorry

Parallel dimensions doesn't mean parallel time continuum little buddy.

Was parallel dimension a term used in this film .....

Horrible fu*kin movie :camby:

They literally film 5 minutes worth of footage to take a movie that initially had nothing to do with Cloverfield and make it apart of the "Universe". :hhh:

I never got too deep into it, but I thought there was a big easter egg campaign to imply that a soft drink caused the original Cloverfield? Is that all in the dumpster because of the paradox explanation?

Throwing it in, I'm not a huge fan of the execution here but there's plenty of opportunity with a multiverse timeline like this. They could conceivably start pulling memorable characters from each timeline together or reimagine the same person in a world with completely different versions of events transpiring around them.

Netflix is committed to taking down Hollywood. After releasing its original blockbuster film Bright, Netflix surprised just about everyone when it dropped a trailer for The Cloverfield Paradox during the Super Bowl, revealing the J.J. Abrams-produced sci-fi movie would forgo a theatrical release and instead debut on the streaming service. But how did such a deal get done?

A new report from The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the deal was "a rescue plan hatched by Abrams, Paramount chairman-CEO Jim Gianopulos, Netflix chief Ted Sarandos and head of original films Scott Stuber, among others."

According to sources, Paramount and Abrams, worried Cloverfield Paradox wouldn't perform well enough at the box office, sold the film to Netflix for upwards of $50 million. Paramount reportedly retains the rights for China and home entertainment.

Although The Cloverfield Paradox hasn't particularly impressed critics (sitting at just a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of this writing), both sides apparently got what they were seeking. The movie, which easily could've bombed at the box office, became "immediately profitable" for the studio. And Netflix received tremendous buzz, reaffirming its commitment towards releasing high-profile content.

This isn't the first deal struck between Paramount and Netflix, as the streaming service has also taken over international rights for the studio's upcoming sci-fi thriller Annihilation. The film, which stars Natalie Portman, is set to release in theaters domestically on February 23, while premiering on Netflix internationally 17 days later.

Despite the one-off deal for The Cloverfield Paradox, Paramount still retains the rights to future Cloverfield installments and plans to release them in theaters. That includes the upcoming WWII-set Overlord, which is set for theatrical release on October 26, and is said to be the fourth installment in the sci-fi thriller series. The film is said to have scored high in two recent test screens.

The Cloverfield Paradox is currently available to stream on Netflix.

Ahh that infinite Netflix funding for blockbusters.

We entering a new age of film where risks can be taken because flops are protected by those monthly netflix subscription fees
