Too much hype

Rating: 6/10 (28 December 2018)

While the movie was entertaining, thrilling, and was filled with great performances, I can't say that I loved this movie like so many social media warriors. "Bird Box" was very predictable and underwhelming. I'll have to say, I didn't hate this movie. There were parts that were pretty intense and then other parts that would drag, the latter being most of the movie. It takes place in a 5 year period where no climax seems to take place. Bouncing back from the present to the past making the past plot a little easy to see what was coming. Other than being filled with great actors and great cinematography I can't say this movie left me in awe. Other than the fact the main characters had to be blindfolded, this movie brought nothing new to the post apocalyptic table. While I respect this movie, as I see so many have loved it, I can't help but think that it's a great story, lousy script, and poorly executed. Again, I enjoyed this movie for the entertainment and glad it's free to watch on Netflix, because if this was in the theaters I probably would've walked out.
