Another "Decent" Movie From Netflix

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2019)

To me, a lot of the Netflix original movies feel churned out. They're well produced and it's not bad filmmaking at all, but something is missing. Maybe the Netflix executives discourage the filmmakers they work with from taking risks? Whatever the case may be, their movies don't feel very passionate. Bird Box fits into this mold. The best way I can describe this movie is "decent." With all the good ingredients they had to work with (top actors, strong production value, etc), it's disappointing that the filmmakers behind this made something with such a flat affect. Unfortunately, I think we're going to see a lot of 6 out 10 movies from Netflix in 2019.
