After some truly miserable entries, I needed to find
something better. I know, I have brought much of this on myself with my
selections, but, I am still due for a winner. In keeping with a more Sci-Fi
driven theme to get me back into the swing of things, I have chosen the 2016
surprise sequel 10 Cloverfield Lane as my next entry.
Plot/ After getting in a car accident, a woman is held in a
shelter with two men, who claim the outside world is affected by a widespread
chemical attack.
I will be honest; I thought that the found footage franchise
Cloverfield was gone. That is until I saw the trailer for this one. When I
rented it, I had no idea what to expect, as I could not imagine what the
premise would have to do with the source storyline. After watching this one, I
have to say that everything worked tremendously well and this approach to
continuing the storyline was perfect. This one featured some outstanding
performances within the minimalist cast, a dark and heavy atmosphere, and one
of the better storylines to grace the screen in some time. Everything about this
film kept me engaged throughout and made me want to immerse myself within the
mythos. In the end, this movie really works and is a must see. John Goodman is
amazing and the film is one of the best Sci-Fi entries I have seen in some
time.
