Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Nitzan Havoc In my opinion, a truly great film that is also part of an anthology and cinematic universe is one that can also function independently, so viewers who have never watched previous titles of the anthology (or are indeed ignorant to its existence) can still enjoy a rewarding experience. 10 Cloverfield Lane is a shining example of such a film, as its connection to the "Cloververse" is only made apparent in the final 10-12 minutes.The story is good, though not great in my opinion. Michelle, a young women, goes through a car accident and wakes up to find herself fully medically treated for her injury, but handcuffed to her bed. Enter John Goodman (Howard), the absolute best part of the entire film, playing a role so completely removed from his regular typecast that it feels like rediscovering him for the profound actor that he is. Seen him in Roseanne or The Flintstones movie? Forget it. Or bettet yet - don't! It would only make you marvel all the more at his terrifying character and the absolute amazing acting on his part. Goodman's character turns out to be Michelle's captor, but insists that he had saved her life from "an attack" that has made earth's environment uninhabitable. Goodman perfectly and exquisitely acts the part of a neurotic, disturbing and troubled navy veteran "with a black belt in conspiracy theories". Accordingly, he has slaved for years constructing a doomsday bunker with all the comforts of home.Has Michelle been kidnapped or saved? Is Howard a kindhearted savior or a deranged delusional homicidal lunatic? What indeed happened outside the bunker? All of these questioned are gradually answered as the viewer is tormented along with Michelle by not being able to know for a fact what is true and what is assumed. The ultimate conclusion could be guessed in advance by followers of the Cloverfield franchise, but others might find the ending quite surprising.All in all, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a chilling and thrilling experience of confusion, misinformation and terror. The absolutely wonderful acting by Goodman (and sufficiently good by rest of cast), the discomforting atmosphere and the suspenseful process of connecting the dots has left me personally on edge, terrified at times and applauding Goodman's acting. Honestly, I believe that even if some of you would find the film to be mediocre at best - Goodman's portray of a neurotic disturbed pseudo-antagonist would be enough to make the experience rewarding.

Mohamed Abdalla Is is an ordinary kidnap movie ? or Is it another aliens invasion movie ? Could it be about a psychopathic killer ? What if you have a movie that has all the three attributes ? Welcome to 10 Cloverfield Lane.The movie starts with the scene of "Michelle" leaving her fiance house in scenes relatively empty of people which should ring a bell, in addition to the scene of Glenvagulin that we will see later in the end. Then moving to the car accident scene and the first appearance of our kidnapper/saver that will lead to more complicated actions.The beauty of the movie is the fast transition between the end of a plot and the start of a new one, and this continues throughout the movie till the very end. And the good thing for open end movies haters that everything is explained but this didn't affect the thrill dose.The director did a great job in keeping you in such tension and suspense without extreme action, and with these few actors in that tiny bunker. Also "John Goodman" really nailed it and his acting was superior to the other actors.It's really good to see how could a shelter look like in case on a disaster, with that much of books , movie discs, sound discs and little food relatively.At the end, it's a great movie that deserves to be watched with great attention to every detail that will not make you bored at any moment.

adam-may-bower '10 Cloverfield Lane' is a tense and enjoyable addition to the Cloverfield franchise. While this film may be set in the same world as the original Cloverfield and contain a few references to the events of the first film, it is ultimately its own movie. Everything from the characters to directing style - even the genre - is different. This was frustrating to a certain extent, as I had the expectation for it to be a follow up to events of the first film, but once you get used to the fact that this is a completely different story to the original film, you are able to enjoy the film for what it is. Having only a small number of cast members (four to be exact), the pressure is put on the actors to pull off a good job, as all the attention is on them. Thankfully, all the three main actors did a superb job in their characters, with John Goodman being the clear standout. He portrays his complex character so well, and until the final moments of the film, you are still trying to figure out whether he is a hero or a villain which I found rather refreshing. The storyline was quite intriguing and in-depth with many surprising plot twists that kept me on the edge-of-my-seat, just like the original film. The ending did seem quite out-of-place when compared to the rest of the narrative, but when looking at the film franchise as a whole, it makes sense and certainly sets us up for another addition the Cloverfield franchise (which is coming out in 2018)!

phoenixflame-40157 This movie was put together perfectly and had me on the edge of my seat for the whole thing!
