Now, we can look forward to the third Cloverfield movie that has evolved from another screenplay titled God Particle. Screenwriter Oren Uziel has explained how God Particle came to be the third Cloverfield movie and it’s pretty interesting.
Uziel had written the God Particle long before the expanded Cloverfield universe officially existed. Produced by Abrams and directed by Julius Onah, the sci-fi thriller follows a crew of astronauts (David Oyelowo, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Daniel Brühl, Chris O’Dowd, Ziyi Zhang, and Elizabeth Debicki) who make the horrible discovery that an experiment has caused Earth to disappear. Alone on a space station, they must fight for survival. The movie had been in the works since 2012 and was announced in October 2016 as the third Cloverfield movie.
Overlord - October 2018
Quote:
On the eve of D-Day, American paratroopers are dropped behind enemy lines to carry out a mission crucial to the invasion’s success. But as they approach their target, they begin to realize there is more going on in this Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. They find themselves fighting against supernatural forces, part of a Nazi experiment.
Overlord is directed by Julius Avery (Son of a Gun) and stars Wyatt Russell (22 Jump Street) and Jovan Adepo (Fences). About a year ago, we speculated that this could be the fourth entry in the slowly-expanding “Clover-verse,” and after ScreenRant theorized about that same thing this morning, we’ve received confirmation from our sources that yes, Overlord is indeed Cloverfield 4, and that the project has completed production.
It was related but the only reason it was used was to set up this otherwise unlikely scenario (so it felt a bit like they were "cheating").
The second movie was very overrated though, but im overall not a fan of movies with few characters and 1 location (Man from Earth and 12 Angry Men are they only 2 movies i know that pulls it off).
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
Yesterday night I saw the image for it suddenly popping up. No mention of god particle, just Cloverfield Paradox and I was like "What?". So... I hope I get some time to see it this evening
i enjoyed it, decent acting, just badly written story, needed more darkness and a lot more earth story ffs the space station set and cgi stuff looked really good, cant wait for them to pump out some real scifi shit
BUT the trend of releaseing a movie right after a trailer, i adore , keep it up netflix, leave the rotten dank corpse of hollywood far behind u, giving new actors chances and clean out the rapists

A trainwreck of a sci-fi flick bent on extending a franchise that should have died a peaceful death almost exactly one decade ago … A theatrical release would likely have been disastrous for this dud; with any luck, it will be forgotten amid tomorrow’s hangovers. — THR
What’s most depressing about The Cloverfield Paradox is how quickly the promise of a contemporary anthological delight has been vaporized into VOD-level bullshit … it’s a necessary reminder that the things we love in this life can be ripped from us so quickly. After all, who knew when they woke up Sunday morning that the Cloverfield franchise would be dead in hours? — Midwest Film Journal
The Cloverfield Paradox has the same problem as a whole that rappers like Future or Gucci Mane have when they drop surprise mixtapes: just because it’s sudden and unexpected doesn’t mean it’s exempt from having substance to it. — The Young Folks
It also needs to be mentioned that the special effects here are ghastly, especially for a marquee franchise. At one point a character loses an arm, but the digital rendering of it is so terrible that you don’t even have to look closely to notice the outline of the removed area. Literally, an invisible shoulder can be seen lying limp, and the indentations marking the dismemberment look like something from the early 2000’s … The only question left is who will despise The Cloverfield Paradox more; fans of the franchise or those turning it on seeking some sci-fi escapism. — Flickering Myth
The Cloverfield Paradox is an unholy mess … The characters here never feel like they could exist in a world outside of this space station, all of them barking in tech-speak at each other, rarely acting in what could be classified as recognizably human behavior … As the film bumbles from one confusingly mounted scene to the next, disappointment turns to boredom … The Cloverfield franchise is rumored to grow even more later this year with a second world war-set thriller potentially unspooling in October. If this is the level of what we can expect then maybe the next surprise release should be not releasing it at all. — The Guardian (UK)
On the movie’s own merits, it’s clear that Paramount took a film that plays like a worse version of last year’s Life or a bad Black Mirror episode and dumped it onto a willing taker, in this case, Netflix. And after the initial excitement dies down, you’ll see that Julius Onah’s The Cloverfield Paradox is a tepid, predictable, and largely uninteresting sci-fi film where dumb characters do dumb things and bad things happen because the script needs them to. It’s a movie that’s not particularly scary, interesting, or deep, but it does have good actors performing admirably. — Collider
It’s too soon to say if The Cloverfield Paradox killed its franchise (a fourth installment is already slated for later this year), but it’s already clear that the Cloverfield brand — until yesterday a magic word capable of stirring excitement out of nothing — is now tainted beyond recognition … “Logic doesn’t apply anymore,” one of the characters says of their situation, and Uziel’s script quickly internalizes that idea as an excuse to just do whatever. Manically riffing on Sunshine, Interstellar, Alien, and then Event Horizon in a mad dash to obscure the fact that the film looks like a basic cable episode of Battlestar Galactica, The Cloverfield Paradox illustrates the dangerous cognitive dissonance that can result from a painfully derivative movie about a situation where anything is possible. — indieWire
Not containing the wit to be smart, thrilling sci-fi nor the chutzpah to embrace a fun, B-movie shlock vibe, it unfortunately feels like an uninspired TV pilot that any other network would’ve permanently locked in a vault … At first, it has the feeling of being dropped into a season finale with characters we should know more about, then after the bland exposition, muddled motivations, and nonsensical developments, one realizes they’d never want to watch what came before anyways. — The Film Stage
…the producers behind The Cloverfield Paradox, including J.J. Abrams, realized the film was such a colossal dud that they knew they’d be better off dumping it onto a streaming platform instead of going through the trouble of a wide theatrical release. — Slashfilm
It’s pretty bad by the standard set by the first two Cloverfield movies, and not that great by regular old sci-fi movie standards either. It’s an origin story that lazily follows the most basic beats of a “ragtag team of scientists in space encounter disaster” movie. It squanders at least two very good performances. It makes very little sense on its own sci-fi terms, and makes even less sense as a Cloverfield prequel. It’s kind of a disaster. — Decider
It doesn't even start half bad, but then it tries to be like alien/life and a bit of coherence. But each and every one of them is better than anything here. Somehow it was too complex and too shallow at the same time. They introduce quantum entanglement as a side note and probably lose a ton of viewers that are not familiar with theories of parallel universes and realities and then they do absolutely nothing with those concepts and resort to strange accidents etc.
A ton of the movie was left on some cutting floor for sure and some stuff was just added later on.. I mean the earth was dying of starvation and war and we didn't see ANYTHING of the earth, except for two TINY sets.
The effects and environment on the spaceship etc were nice and expensive looking and the acting was really well in most parts, but then they somehow all their drive and the movie becomes an incoherent mess. MEH!
And the last shot was just: Worst uh... "screen delivery" ever?! Jeez, that was just absolutely shit.
Seems like good movie, since nfohumpers and critics doesnt like it, need to watch this asap, im pretty sure it can´t be worse than modern era scifi shit flicks what we get.
