This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the second Netflix movie where the final scene erases everything that the movie has built up to with illogical garbage that concludes nothing and contributes nothing to the overall story. The first one was "The End" which ended in the main character and his SO in a car covered in a cloud of dust before the credits roll. In Bird Box the sanctuary from the monsters turns out to be a school for the blind. Now what is a school for the blind doing tucked away in the middle of a forest and how does Rick give such an accurate description of how to get there down the river, when he is blind? Where are they getting their food from? What makes their place any safer than the original house Malorie and the kids were holed up in? What happened to all the other blind people in the cities - there should be thousands of them still alive. Why is it even called Bird Box??? The box of birds is in barely half a dozen shots in the entire movie. Urgh. The more I think about this inconclusive and dumb ending the more enraged I become over the fact that I spent two hours watching it.

To sum up "Bird Box" is what happens when The Walking Dead meets Oregon Trail.… Expand

Poorly executed, slow, boring, thirty minutes too long. Full of unnecessary bits that act as filling for a story that isn't there. The second half is unwatchable.

People are calling it a rip-off of A Quiet Place, but really this is just a horrendous imitation of Frank Darabont's film adaption of Stephen King's The Mist. (And so many other things) Nothing is subtle in this film, everything is repeatedly smashed into your face and requires little thought from the audience. The acting is so annoying and was trying so hard to give an emotional weight to the story, that it just fails as a result.

The art of filmmaking has become the art of an extended full-length filler television episode, nowadays. Bird Box is just showing that by refusing to challenge its audience and as a result showcases its ability to just settle into generic mediocrity.… Expand

Here, youre forced to crap in a bag.. they tell you to hold onto the bag, telling you something amazing will happen if you do.. like george r r martin.. the pizza is coming. You sit there the whole time with a smelly festering turd bag.. then finally its over and they wheel a garbage can around and tell u its ok to throw the bag out. "Wasnt that amazing?" No, it wasnt.. the most annoying thing is watching a buncha fools trying to survive using hollywood sjw logic to get thru serious situations, which always ends bad for them, but every opportunity they can, they do it again.. the definition of insanity.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Take the worst aspects of: The walking dead, The Happening and A Quiet Place. Then you have Bird Box. What a terrible, terrible movie.
Sandra Bullock portrays a really unpleasant character, very difficult to root for. The beginning of the movie, where everything goes crazy, is ok, but too similar to the happening. But in The Happening, at least we had some kind of explanation, as lame as it turned out. In Bird Box, the writers just don't bother. It's implied this is some kind of demons, whatever.
In the end of course, nothing is resolved, because that would take creativity. I kinda hate this kind of movie where the world goes to an end, and we follow a tiny bunch of characters until they get to safe place. It seems like a happy ending, if you forgot that the world is still crazy out there. Anyway... Dialogues are boring and endless, just like in the walking dead. And characters act stupidly, just like in A quiet place. By the way, this is a rather long movie (>2h). I would recommend not to waste your time on this one. Really not worth it.… Expand

These are not people who care about the art of cinema, but middle-to-upper class modern, trendy millennials and/or people who have a fetish of playing a streaming service in the background while having sexual intercourse because, for some reason, that is cool--"Netflix and chill" anyone?

So, in comes "Birdbox" directed by Susanne Bier. This follows the perfect recipe for satisfying the mass. It is a shallow, easy-to-follow post-apocalyptic survival flick but with a twist so that after watching it, the entitled pretentious viewers can again pat themselves on the back and think they are knowledgeable about the art just because they enjoyed a film so laughingly trying to be deep, that the evil entities are not even shown. Ever! "Wow! What an abstract avant-garde piece of revolutionary art"--tweets Carol, from her iPhone, feeling pretty good about herself. But in truth, this is nothing more than Jackass (except not funny).

There is no insight into anything. Those presences causing everyone suicide are never revealed to us, nor they are mentioned. This would be fine, if the film would actually do something with this mystery. Instead, it tells us that it is so in-depth, so complex, so multi-layered that dude, like, we won't even show them, but wait not even mention them, and you know the two kids in the film? They have no name--they are simply called "boy" and "girl". "This is something else"--says Carol; "This is a shameless cash-grab"--I say while struggling to shake-off the modernist cringe.

Every single one of these characters is as shallow as he or she can be and every single interaction is linear and boring; not to even mention the predictability of the whole thing. For its entire run-time, I was waiting for each character to inevitably die. This film is about as complex as a classic zombie-horror flick, except there they actually put the effort into the zombies, while here they do nothing and just put some lazy pretentious mumbo-jumbo.

In the end, what makes this a revolting film (if I could even call it that) is the fact that I do not think this shallowness is unintentional. Netflix is all about business, and here they completely killed the art form and, like the creatures in the film, replaced it with a populous void. Profitable, but disgusting.… Expand

The film is not without its effective set piecesManipulative, shallow, and thoroughly unpleasant, 'Bird Box' takes a deeply unsettling premise and filters it through a lazy story filled with cliched situations and one-dimensional characters. The film is not without its effective set pieces and suspenseful moments, but sustaining that suspense with the building threat of seeing two children commit suicide just makes the entire film seem cheap and exploitative. Rather than embrace the tawdry 'B-movie' shocks bubbling beneath the surface, the director and cast instead insist on treating the material like they're in a prestige pic while never finding the emotional heart, psychological depth, or cultural significance of its central premise. Because of this jarring disconnect between tone and material, the film fails to work as a literary art film or as a genre thriller. Ignore the anonymous voices online telling you you have to see this movie to understand the phenomenon. I recommend taking the advice of the movie itself and keeping your blindfold on.… Expand

You know that bias where even if a product like Insatiable,Bright or...well,Bird Box fails miserably at being a piece of media,everyone just straight loves it for no reason other than “you critics are just mean”? Because,after the 30 minute mark of explaining the concept,Bird Box did just what Jurassic World 2 did to my inner film fanatic soul. It p****d the hell outta me,this time more than JW...And this isn’t a franchise movie,not even a Universal movie at that. This is made by Netflix,whose social media I hate with a burning passion,and rarely makes a great movie (think Okja or Roma),because they’re so busy making teen garbage (with exceptions like Stranger Things and the Marvel TV Shows) that,while they appeal to that demographic successfully,they’ll always miss two things that make a movie or TV Show good,not so good or bad. “Entertainment” and “an interesting PLOT”.
And Bird Box doesn’t have that. It’s a soulless cash-in on A Quiet Place that fails at being what they’re aiming for or,even worse,lacks anything worth of its “Genre”. This is listed as a Horror movie and man,oh man,does it not show anything worth of the Horror. Not even the kills are fantastic. This movie is so bad,It’ll instantly kill your brain cells because they were busy doing something else.
But let’s start at the beginning.
The acting is probably the biggest highlight of the movie. Surprises are here and there,since I only knew Sandra bullock was in it. Well,surprise surprise,John Malkovich,Rosa Salazar and Trevante Rhodes also appear in here and they’re all pretty good! Especially Malkovich and Bullock,who are trying to make us care about everything coming from a stupid script.
A script full of dumb choices,situations being finished in no time (even faster than The LEGO Movie,a great movie with a fast story),a presentation that fails with a snap of the fingers,and 2 moments where Venom now feels like a fantastic script (The quote “Wow. Such Venom…”,the car flipping at the 11 minute mark and the eyes being weird when they’re “infected” by this monster). Speaking of the monster...Uhh...Where’s the monster? Do I have to believe about this floating fart who infects people in killing themselves? Yeah,that’s actually dumb for a script that wants to be taken super seriously.
Oh,and there are kids in here,and they’re even worse than Claire from a bad but miles better movie than this (Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom). Worse in the sense that they don’t even act. They’re standing there like pieces of wood,or even rocks.
The technical aspect is also really bad. The cinematography feels like a great YouTube video and rarely does it feel like a cinematic presentation. The score feels like a great mix of nothingness,horrible synthy vibes and a track that a composer like Junkie XL would cry from disappointment. And to finish everything,the editing is Justice League level bad,where even the little things fail at connecting the dots (where in JL i was the gun thing,in Bird Box it’s a person in a bedroom looking at another person,then we cut to the same person,only her head is looking to the closed window).
GOOD GRAVY GOD,this movie made me angry. Bird Box made me hate Netflix as a studio more than Universal just because of how the platform’s users act IN IT. I don’t care if you love Bright,it’s just an aggressive 4/10. I don’t care about Insatiable,it’s a dumb show with nothing special that makes the Catwoman movie look like The Dark Knight. Stop raving about Bird Box,you dumb TNTs. It’s a great Asylum rip-off (or cash-in) of A Quiet Place that has nothing special and is just there to please some guy who wants their brain to be rotten. But yeah,dislike this review,because your opinion will be better than mine for all the wrong reasons. I hope you have a future filled to the brim with classics such as Fifty Shades,Twilight,Bird Box etc. and “Have a nice life” (-Venom)… Expand

And that is Bullocks' captivating performance, and the general concept of the film (although heavily borrowed from The Happening). Everything else was a let down. The story contains no set theme, and juggles genres from scene to scene. Moments of comic relief are generally poorly timed, and diminishes the momentum of the film. The characters are forgettable and two-dimensional, there is not depth to their ambitions. Every death that occurs does not cause an impact, since there is no time to develop any sort of relationship with them. The anxiety could have been paced with slower transitions, quieter beats and overall more reliance on the emotion of the world created by Bier. Moments where the music could let the picture breathe are entirely overlooked, causing a jarring mashup of intensities that pull you out of the experience. Sandra Bullock, on the other hand, saved the film. Her performance was captivating and emotional, which lent the film brief moments of genuine awe. Bird Box could be a breath of fresh air in the horror realm, as "A Quiet Place" and "Hereditary" were. However, the lazy development of characters and even lazier story-telling coupled with dubious acting (NOT from Sandra Bullock) shoot it down mercilessly.… Expand

The acting is somewhat serviceable but the whole "everything in this movie" is so unbearable to watch.

Everything that's happening is very difficult to digest.
The only way to be able to enjoy this movie to a certain level at least, it's that you have to turn off every single brain cell you have. Because the plot is so *eugh*

I do like how it was shot and a few elements, in the beginning, were fine?
But after that, it's just a train going downhill onto the road of nothingness as the drivers are probably blindfolded.

The actors in the movie needed their paycheck and this was an easy cash grab. I mean seriously, some characters pop up and then they just leave or die in the most weirdish ways possible.
I can hardly recommend this to anyone.
Look out for a Quiet Place, it's the same thing but done good.

+ Nice to look at
+ Some scenes are okay
+ The acting is ok and horrible

- Horrible plotline
- Boring ideas
- Characters act without any sort of logic
- Forced character progression and scene to scene development for no reason other than to mess themselves up
- Just a bad movie overall
- Give back my time

I don't recommend this to anyone.… Expand

The ending is so generic that I want to puke. The acting is... Fine (except for the children. Their **** The thing that urks me the most about this movie is that it has such an amazing premise but it just ****s on it by making it the most generic **** Instead of having an interesting plot, its just the generic "survivors are trapped inside house and have to learn to get along" trope. The way the monster is portrayed is really lame, like, could you have not come up with anything more interesting than "The monster makes leaves float for no reason" and "Spooky whispering lol" Also, the weird cultists were pretty lame. The worst part is that I had to watch it twice because I was talking about it with my friends but they hadn't seen it so I had to watch it with them.



I think that's about all I have to say. The characters are all stupid idiots with a death wish, The script is stupid, The camera is bland, the premise is wasted, and its just lame. Too me, it seems like the only reason people like this movie is because of the premise, which is really sad because this movie is getting way more praise then it will ever deserve?. Tbh, the only things I can even praise the movie about is the fact that they never show the monster. If they showed the monster, it would just ruined the monster because the monster wouldn't really be mysterious anymore.

Also, Sandra Bollocks face has had so much plastic surgery that shes really hard to look at
Im not even sure if shes human, she looks like a mole person

This movie sucks and I hate everyone involved (Except John Malkolvich) 3/10

An interesting story that turned out to have lots of plot holes, and lots of predictable elements that made it a bad movie, I really had high expectations because of Sandra Bullock, but her acting lacks everything that makes a character interesting.

Unestablished, disorderly characters. Asking about parenting and life, but cliché.
