Watched it. I'd give it not a "meh" but a "meh+1".

Solid. Nothing groundbreaking or crazy, just solid space thriller with some nice tie-ins to the franchise/universe.

Actually thought it did a better job/more obvious job of fitting into the universe than 10 Cloverfield Lane did.

Though I thought there was a huge viral thing before the first Cloverfield movie that basically had a bunch of tidbits and info pointing to the creature coming from the ocean and dealing with some deep water drilling or explosion. This movie basically erases all of that work.

Anyone got a short summary of the Cloverfield franchise for someone who hasn't seen any of it?

The writing was terrible and I thought this movie sucked. It could have been a lot better.

I enjoyed it. About what I expected from "straight to Netflix"

The Overlord one coming next seems to have a much more interesting premise.

The post credits scene of the first Cloverfield movie showed something splashing into the water in the background behind the two main people. I always figured it was an alien egg or something.

Anyway, I liked this one but then again I like a lot of dumb movies so take it as it is. I thought the one guy was surprisingly calm for having just lost an arm, but he is an astronaut and they are well trained for just about anything, so I can give it a pass. So I guess this movie and the previous two all happen in separate dimensions, but the events of this one are what cause things to happen in the others.

Pure garbage. I usually rank these types of movies higher than others, but I *hated* it. In my comments from immediately after I watched it (having only seen the trailer):

"Too much non-sensical sci-fi shenanigans 'because they can'. Feels like they took a bargain-bin script and slapped an existing license on it because the film couldn't stand on it's own."

Reading the article from Rotten Tomatoes, that's exactly what happened. This was originally a Paramount movie called "The God Particle" which was stuck in development hell and repeatedly delayed because they knew it was bad. Netflix acquired it from Paramount and slapped the Cloverfield license on it with minimal reshoots.

I see why the Cloverfield franchise wanted to use it, it basically allows all of their movies to work and creates unlimited possibilities for them going forward.

While it is kind of bullshit, it works from the story perspective. I just wish Harvey from Gotham didn't have to go on a 3-4 minute rant spelling out the entire reason for the movie and the premise of the Cloverfield universe to the viewers.
