Bird Box

[Smithy]

Let’s discuss!

I enjoyed it but it’s defintely overrated, felt a bit like watching AHS with the amount of plot holes

[Beastie]

The ending was meh.

[Amy Jade]

I liked it and Sandra Bullock was great and I don't need to see the creatures of course but it was frustrating in the end not knowing what was going on.

I also never understood why some people straight up killed themselves and others were crazy either but I did enjoy it a lot.

[Headie]

I enjoyed it, it had my full attention unlike most films I watch.

Although I wanted to know how the Doctor managed to survive and make the sanctuary, it felt kinda random her being there at the end and instantly remembering Malorie after 5+ years :skull:

The Twitter memes are the best thing to come from this film tho <3

[Marsh.]

I also never understood why some people straight up killed themselves and others were crazy either but I did enjoy it a lot.

The creatures just used some people to convince the ones hiding to look.

[Marsh.]

I wouldn't say it's overrated but I also wouldn't compare it to AHS.

AHS at its worst isn't even entertaining, but pure sh*t. This movie was ok for the genre.

[Tom4784]

I enjoyed it but it was a bit overly long, I thought.

[Marsh.]

I expected pregnant women to be the only ones immune or something when Olympia first arrived. :laugh:

[Jessica.]

I loved it, it had a few plot holes but they really weren't that bad. The ending was super cute, though it would have been good to find out more about the creatures.

[Morgan.]

I've heard mixed things about this, but definitely wantto give this a watch for Bullock/Paulson/MGK and what seems like a fairly interesting story

[armand.kay]

I enjoyed it it was a cute lil movie I feel like people were expecting too much from it

[armand.kay]

also i really don't care about not seeing the creatures because it didn't seem like the movie was about that, it was never set up as a movie about finding out what they are so it never felt like the ending would explain this

[Samm]

I really enjoyed it, I read a interesting theory that the creatures are visuals of the darkest forms of the universe, humans who are not mentally ill can’t handle seeing this, so this results in the suicides, however for those humans who are mentally ill they think it’s “beautiful”, I like this idea the best in terms of what the creatures are

[Josy]

Watched it last night, twas good although I wanted to see more of what they see and maybe an explanation of what it was

[Amy Jade]

The creatures just used some people to convince the ones hiding to look.

I never honestly understood quite why though, was it a subconscious thing or just random?

Because it felt a bit strange to me that say the woman at the start who helps Malorie, why not have her convince others to look? Or why pick the random dude in the woods fishing to spread the word and to who?

Or why pick the random dude in the woods fishing to spread the word and to who?Well I think it's just mentally ill people who were more susceptible to being "used" or see beauty in what they saw.

[Morgan.]

I just watched it and actually really enjoyed it :clap1:

A scream though, me and my mam had just got to the hospital bit at the start and she just goes 'I wish this scene would end, Sandra Bullock just looks like Michael Jackson' :skull:

[Mokka]

Well I think it's just mentally ill people who were more susceptible to being "used" or see beauty in what they saw.

Yeah... I thought that was obvious. If you were deranged enough... you didn't want to kill yourself when you saw it... you just wanted to be apart of it... share it... kind of like Jehovah's Witnesses.. going door to door to spread the news

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

I l watched this tonight i loved it :hugesmile:

[Gstar]

[Matthew.]

I didn’t like it

[Nicky91]

overrated movie, well it will definitely win many oscars then :thumbs:

[Nicky91]

every overrated/overhyped movie wins oscars :laugh:

[Smithy]

It’s not eligible for oscars because it hasn’t had a theatrical release :rolleyes:

[Nicky91]

It’s not eligible for oscars because it hasn’t had a theatrical release :rolleyes:

lmao :laugh2: so you seriously need to have had a theatrical release to be eligible for oscars

[Oliver_W]

lmao :laugh2: so you seriously need to have had a theatrical release to be eligible for oscars

Yup! Tommy Wiseau booked out a private theatre so his crap film would be eligible.

Anyway, I wanted to make a joke about the writers wearing a blindfold when they did the script.

[thisisdanny]

Watched it last night. Was good, I did enjoy it. I think it's massively overrated though - and like stated above from Amy (i think) I don't understand why some just kill themselves straight away then some go psycho and try to get others to look idk

[Shaun]

I thought it was pretty good, not sure why it's getting so much aggressive animosity.

[Underscore]

I watched it on the plane coming back and I get it that it's good but it's so overhyped :umm2:

[Marsh.]

It's not been hyped though.

Just discussed a lot. I haven't seen a single review pretending it's a masterpiece. :shrug:

I was going to say, I don't know enough about how "highly rated" it is to say if it's over-rated. For a Netflix movie, it's good. I'm vaguely tempted to say that it didn't really need the "star power" element to sell it, and it could have been better with a different lead. Bullock isn't BAD in it, but she's just OK. The "Oh my, Sandra Bullock has had one too many facelifts" effect is a little distracting.

But yeah. In terms of Netflix quality, this is easily "high", so I dunno if it's over-rated at all.

Having a quick look;

6.7 IMDB, 63%Rotten Tomatoes. Sounds about right to me? 6-or-7 out of 10 is hardly over-rated... 6 to 7 is the "decent watch" score for movies.
