Watchable with a blindfold, you don't miss anything.

Rating: 5/10 (1 January 2019)

First of all, lets compromise about this is called Internet Movie Database and we're all reviewing the movies not 'novels'. Also let's make another deal with the ones who claim that 'an original addition to the genre' about that this movie is not promising anything sensational. (Whether if it based on a novel or not) Idea of a having banned of one of the sensory abilities and forming a thriller around this idea doesn't seem intentive to me. In other words, this movie is just another constrained attempt even tough the creators (of 'the movie') possibly sought an originality. ( I however don't think they had a stab at it in the first place unlike some of the rewievers' opinions)
On the other hand, the movie can not get a 'D' in terms of logicalness either. No one ever try to mention the intractability of logic in a thriller/horror, before a movie intents to pull wievers into its world it has to carry the disquiet of reasonableness up to some point. Unluckily we can not see this fear in Bird Box. The mist (2007) for example (which carries many similarities with it in my opinion) was much more successful in order to reach the goal in terms of both originality and reasonableness in its own.
Above all, I don't even want to mention about dozens of cliches and easy-to-predict scenes which I'm tired of seeing.
In the end, unfortunately, let aside all the hype you hear, Bird Box is not more than a mediocre horror/thriller.
