Why so much hype?

Rating: 5/10 (10 January 2019)

Don't really get the hype for Bird Box. By the end, I felt it belonged in a kitty Litter Box. There's an idea for the sequel, the entities are actually ghost cats, and the world is their litter box. But in all seriousness, it wasn't quite that bad, just so many unexplained things, so many illogical actions, so many plans that absolutely would not work the way they did, lots of deus ex machina (just for the sake of convenience), and really no terribly likable characters. But some of it was shot pretty well, the atmosphere was good at times, and the acting was pretty good, when crap lines like, "Make the end of the world great again", aren't being shouted obnoxiously. Way to be a product of the times, and surely to be forgotten in no time. The more I think about it and try to make sense of all the nonsense the more I realize how little I enjoyed it, 5/10. Woulda been better as a 30 minute short film with less pointless characters, and less filler dialogue.
