Ignore the plausibility

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2018)

I thought it was really well done. The story is gripping enough from beginning to end and music by Trent Reznor really led to a darker theme.
I thought it was much more mysterious than A Quiet Place, and a lot less irritating.
People seem to have a problem when a movie isn't in your face, but the real problem that we have is that we have lost our ability to use our imagination. As soon as a film shows what is terrorizing us - the movie immediately loses its bleakness, its mystery and its watchability. We don't NEED to see what the terror is - imagine it yourself. What you could conjure up in your mind would be way better than anything Hollywood can feed you anyway. I would hope.
While the plausibility of how people are getting around without being able to open their eyes is really a difficult hurdle for viewers to get over.....just do that. Get over it.
Sandra Bullock was exceptional. Paulson wasn't in it enough. Malkovich was perfect. Even the child actors held their own.
I was pleasantly suprised from this, a Netflix original. Ignore some of the plausibility and Bird Box is actually a fantastically intense and dark end of days movie!
