The Cloverfield Paradox (third Cloverfield film) launches on Netflix: NOW LIVE

[antijoke]

Holy crap balls, this dropped after the Super bowl......

We already told you that Paramount/Bad Robot’s Cloverfield sequel was getting acquired by Netflix, and that a Super Bowl spot is expected to air during the Big Game, however, we’re now hearing that the J.J. Abrams produced movie will be available to stream immediately following the end of the Big Game. A TV spot for the film is scheduled to drop around the end of the first quarter and inform fans about the pic’s availability tonight.

This is a groundbreaking, unprecedented move by a studio in its use of P&A: Netflix is literally promoting a movie before TV’s biggest audience of the year (last year’s Super Bowl drew an average of 111.3M) and then promptly releasing it after the game. Today will be the first time we’ve seen any footage or images from the movie.

No other streaming service has ever pulled off this type of stunt, nor released a movie with such immediacy. Millennial audiences love surprises and this type of marketing maneuver is right up their alley. For many months the film went by the title God Particle.

This unique distribution plan for the next Cloverfield completely jibes with the brand’s spirit for surprise. Cloverfield pics are traditionally shrouded in secrecy with non-traditional marketing campaigns. This Cloverfield sequel cost around an estimated $45M, and we hear that the Netflix deal makes the film immediately profitable.

Cannot wait until tonight.

I thought the second one was good. You weren't even sure it was a Cloverfield movie until the last 10-15 minutes.

It's the only movie that I've ever gone to the cinema on my own to watch.

Weirdly, I was just reading some reactions and this particular movie got a bit of a drubbing from the critics.

Who cares what critics think.

What a pile of ****

Spoiler

WTF exactly was the point of this movie? It tells you nothing about the monster from the first one and you only get to see the damn thing at the end and its so big its above the clouds, the only other shot of it is in shadow form obscured heavily by dust. Tell me again where exactly in the first movie it was mentioned that the planet was on the brink of world war 3 and there was a massive global energy crisis? Oh wait, it didn't, its just some bull**** they shoehorned into this at some pathetic attempt at a plot.

You wouldn't even call this a sequel its basically some vague offshoot off the first movie taking place on a space station at the same time that "Clover" is rampaging around, even saying this is set at the same time seems a bit weird considering the tech they have on the space station is clearly very advanced in stark contrast to the tech on Earth in the first movie being very modern day at best.

Apparently doing a proper sequel is beyond them and they just have make movies based on the same period of time taken from different perspectives, which for the most part ignore what people want to see....that being the big monster which apparently the tards at Hollywood are oblivious to.

Lol, did you sleep through the whole movie? Or were you on your phone the entire time?

So, this is an anthology series then with no direct links, I'm guessing.

Spoiler

Although the whole paradox speech by the talking head author does mean they could just put it all down to some sort of 'dimensional mixing', which would allow then to tie up any number of loose and/or unrelated movies.

Spoiler

that talking head is the brother of Howard from 10 Cloverfield Lane

An interesting observation.

There's also another one as well.

I think this is genius if it's all correct, and I am a firm believer in the alternate universes all being linked and this is indeed an origin film done in a very clever way.

I just think people expect to know everything and then get disappointed or don't think about events that aren't laid out in front of them (see critics as well) so it gets a lot of push back. I also think it's one of things you can't see if you stand too close as it were figuratively speaking.

Well the fourth film is going to take place during the D Day landings.....

I watched the first one again the other day, and I still love that film.

I would love them to do something again like that with a crazy marketing strategy and such and clever.
