More of a companion piece to "Cloverfield" than a sequel, this claustrophobic thriller, led by a riverting performance from Goodman, is well worth checking out.

It appears the climactic eye-candy and change in the tone in the last few minutes somehow made critics (and some viewers alike) ignore the other 90% of the film? While the initial build-up was solidly structured, the film devolves in the second half into a haphazardly poor attempt at "subverting" expectations ("he's a good guy, no he's a bad guy, yes he's a good guy, uh oh he's a bad guy"). Kudos to the performances though, Winstead and Goodman are indeed amazing to watch and make the film bearable.… Expand

Do you have any Idea, any Idea at all how long I've searched for a good movie like this? For those that haven't watched this, I will not spoil anything. All I'm going to say is I want a sequel to this movie. It will never happen but myDo you have any Idea, any Idea at all how long I've searched for a good movie like this? For those that haven't watched this, I will not spoil anything. All I'm going to say is I want a sequel to this movie. It will never happen but my goodness clearly the director did not know what they stumbled upon, You were so close to greatness.

But anyway, I was searching for a Sci-Fi movie and I finally found a good one, It makes use of the pre/during apocalypse stage of... well the apocalypse.

It twists and turns your mind, it's spectacular. But it Is for my taste short, however, I think the length of the movie helps for a direct sequel, But Like I said it will never come. I NEED MORE OF THIS.

8/10, This movie should have been 4 hours or had a sequel to just round up the Idea, they were going for, it would be a perfect film, in fact, if they kept going in the film, right at the end I would have brought it up to my top favourite Sci-Fi movies ever.

Mary in this film does an amazing job, here is another example of a good female character, who earns her personality and character, through the struggle she and the audience have to put up with, this is what films today lack when it comes to female leads.

Man, I'm pretty salty that we'll never get a sequel, anyway a good movie, very well paced, acted, and everything, just obviously the end hits you and you just want more, kinda leaves you unsatisfied but in a good way.… Expand

"10 Cloverfield Lane" is a distant relative of 2008's "Cloverfield", sharing only a few crumbs that suggest a stronger link between the two films. While "Cloverfield" was a dizzying handheld camera event, "10 Cloverfield Lane" is a"10 Cloverfield Lane" is a distant relative of 2008's "Cloverfield", sharing only a few crumbs that suggest a stronger link between the two films. While "Cloverfield" was a dizzying handheld camera event, "10 Cloverfield Lane" is a third-person narrative shot in standard fashion. The film is set primarily in an apartment, on the open road, and in a fateful bunker, and succeeds in creating a sense of claustrophobia with every door locked by unforgiving metal and a lack of privacy.

John Goodman is excellent as Howard, the seemingly crazy owner of the bunker who is a walking enigma. It is unclear whether his story of devastating attacks outside is true, and what his personal story may be. Goodman's portrayal of Howard is perfect, with a blend of sinister goodwill, anxiety, and a seething temper boiling beneath the surface. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is also faultless as Michelle, the defiant, weary hostage who starts out frantic and ends up scheming and playing the long game. John Gallagher Jr.'s character is just okay, not adding much to the movie.

The film is a slow burner, building tension and suspense, but I found the overly long sequences of nothingness to drag on and detract from the overall movie experience. As the third act picks up, it feels too little, too late, and too contrived to be a worthy payoff for the buildup. Additionally, many of the situations in the film feel too convenient, such as the shower curtain being a perfect fit for a fallout suit, the earring that is found, and the radio turning on just by the precise road sign.

While "10 Cloverfield Lane" has a great premise of whether to trust the menacing man who has entrapped you or try your luck outside in the potentially deadly air, the buildup doesn't pay off in the end. The performances by Goodman and Winstead are the saving grace of the film, otherwise, it would score lower.

"10 Cloverfield Lane" es un pariente lejano de "Cloverfield" de 2008, compartiendo solo algunas migajas que sugieren un vínculo más fuerte entre las dos películas. Mientras que "Cloverfield" fue un vertiginoso evento de cámara en mano, "10 Cloverfield Lane" es una toma narrativa en tercera persona de manera estándar. La película está ambientada principalmente en un departamento, en la carretera abierta y en un fatídico búnker, y logra crear una sensación de claustrofobia con todas las puertas cerradas con un metal implacable y falta de privacidad.

John Goodman es excelente como Howard, el propietario aparentemente loco del búnker que es un enigma ambulante. No está claro si su historia de ataques devastadores en el exterior es cierta y cuál puede ser su historia personal. La interpretación que hace Goodman de Howard es perfecta, con una mezcla de siniestra buena voluntad, ansiedad y un temperamento hirviente que hierve bajo la superficie. Mary Elizabeth Winstead también es impecable como Michelle, la rehén desafiante y cansada que comienza frenética y termina intrigando y jugando a largo plazo. El personaje de John Gallagher Jr. está bien, no agrega mucho a la película.

La película es lenta, genera tensión y suspenso, pero encontré que las secuencias demasiado largas de la nada alargan y restan valor a la experiencia cinematográfica en general. A medida que avanza el tercer acto, se siente demasiado pequeño, demasiado tarde y demasiado artificial para ser una recompensa digna de la acumulación. Además, muchas de las situaciones en la película se sienten demasiado convenientes, como que la cortina de la ducha se ajusta perfectamente a un traje fallido, el arete que se encuentra y la radio que se enciende justo al lado de la señal de tráfico precisa.

Si bien "10 Cloverfield Lane" tiene una gran premisa sobre si confiar en el hombre amenazante que te ha atrapado o probar suerte afuera en el aire potencialmente mortal, la acumulación no vale la pena al final. Las actuaciones de Goodman y Winstead son la gracia salvadora de la película, de lo contrario, obtendría una puntuación más baja.… Expand
