Wait ... 10 Cloverfield Lane is supposed to tie in with the Cloverfield Movie?

I didn't get that.

From what I understand that movie and this one were both their own thing that weren’t really working on their own so they were bought and repurposed to fit into the Cloverfield narrative. They weren’t originally made as proper sequels to start off. I thiiiink the upcoming fourth one may have started as a sequel from the get go but I could be wrong

I still really love the move they did with this movie. Even if it’s not a great movie it was cool going into it with 0 expectations so I really couldn’t be let down, I think I liked it more because of that. If I saw the trailer she’s ago and built up towards it over months then I definitely would be more sour on it

The more I think about it, the more I enjoy Curtis' storyline of them returning to mass chaos on Earth.

MISSED OPPORTUNITY

I love what they did with the release but it's disappointing it had to happen with this movie instead of say, 10 Cloverfield Lane. I feel like it's gonna make Netflix less likely to do it in the future cuz they don't think people will trust the product

And yeah, this would've been way better if you took the last 15 minutes and made that the BEGINNING of the movie, cuz the only thing I really liked was the tie-in (even if it's still very unclear how this all actually fits together). It would've been like a true sequel to the original, just with an interesting twist since it'd be following people stumbling into the situation well after shit went to hell instead of right at the beginning

MISSED OPPORTUNITY! I know Matt Reeves wanted to make a Cloverfield 2 for a while but IIRC never did cuz he didn't want it to feel like a retread, but that would've been a good way around it

I'm not sure, I think it could convince them to try again with a better movie because the buzz was HUGE. I was reading about how activity online surrounding the movie spiked like crazy and that it became really an event movie. I feel like the buzz and the fun of it all was a big win for Netflix and they wouldn't care as much about reviews and reception but who knows

I agree. I heard SO many people talking about this after the trailer. It go Black Mirror level hype for about 2 days.
