It has 4 stars on apple Tv and 90% good rating on Rotten. BUlllllllllcrap.
I want my money back. Terrible freaking movie. I actually want my money back, $5.99 to rent this?
Spoilers:
Chick gets abducted into a bunker by some weird dude. He's fat (John Goodman). There is another dude in the bunker. That's the majority of the movie. Can't go outside because people go crazy, chick looks through a part of the bunker with a window and sees crazy lady (this is never explained). Goodman shoots the weird superfluous character that still has an arm sling for no reason. Chick kills Goodman (or so you think) escaping, then the bunker blows up (he wasn't dead) and in the last 10 minutes of the movie the girl who had dreams aout being a fashion designer wears a suit she made to combat the bad air and realizes its aliens. No joke. Aliens. You see space ship, the house that was presumably over the bunker turns into a space ship, or is melted at this point who cares. Heroine puts her water bottle mask back on to protect from the weird green gas from the alien ship, it WAS TERRIBLE.
It's a few hours of watching a girl that can't act doing nothing in a bunker followed by the most dumbass conclusion that seems bent on insulting anyone who paid money to watch the movie.
If it wasn't for the dragging plot the movie would e hysterical. It should have been 15 minutes, dumb plot and bad acting, then 10 minutes of crappy CGI to laugh at.

What did I take away from this movie?
Preppers are molesters, and prepping is wrong, oh right and girls who can't act are really good at killing gigantic alien monsters.
I give the movie -1 star, it would have been 1 star but it seriously wasted my time and money.

To all those who just wanted mindless, idiotic violence with no storyline, can i suggest the Transformers movies. or independence Day. They will be right up your street.
Meanwhile the rest of us who can sit through a film that doesnt have an explosion every five minutes will continue to enjoy well acted and written thrillers like this.The aliens outside where meant to be on the peripheral. THAT was the point.
Just like in Signs. It wasn't meant to be a big alien invasion film. It was a story of one man and his family, amidst an an alien invasion. But got panned because the idiots who just wanted to see Independence Day and totally missed the point.

But Signs still maintained my interest. I plan on hitting Independence day ASAP. I did not knock the writing at all in this movie, it just did not even come close to feeling "Cloverfield" . And I still want my giant beast alien dinosaur mutant thing.
I am one of those who would toss good writing and acting out the window as long as its flashy, with explosions not just every five minutes, but never stop ever! And gunfights in every scene. I still enjoyed Signs, especially at the end when Mel remembers his wife's words to have Joaquin Phoenix "swing, swing!" or something like that. But I like ID4 better
I been waiting 20 years for this sequel though, so I know it wont let me down. Cloverfield, I was anticipating the sequel, and regretted what I paid to see in theaters. I should have watched the Fifth Wave, how was that? It was my first choice, but I was nostalgic for Cloverfield and the street battles in Manhattan.
