Kiryu's Quick Critiques - 10 Cloverfield Lane


Hello everybody, Kiryu904 here. I just got back from seeing 10 Cloverfield Lane, which is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher, Jr. While this isn't a sequel to the 2008 film Cloverfield, it is instead a spiritual successor, or as J. J. Abrams has stated, "a blood relative" of that film. This movie seems pretty well made. It had an engaging story and was suspenseful at times. However, I was a little disappointed by the big creature reveal during the last part of the film. I thought the acting was pretty good and I enjoyed all of the characters and their interactions with each other. The special effects throughout the movie looked mostly average, in my opinion. I Thought the soundtrack was good, but it wasn't anything special. Overall, this is an interesting film, even though it wasn't an actual sequel to Cloverfield. Well, that's all I have to say on this post. Bye, and look forward to more of my thoughts on upcoming movies.
