An interesting concept done poorly in an otherwise dull film adaptation

Rating: 6/10 (23 March 2019)

Though the concept does prove to be interesting, you can't help but feel it come off as at least a bit generic. What could have been something new, is only a different version of something we saw only this year (i.e. A Quiet Place). That being said though, the film doesn't fail to entertain, even with it's dull tone and down attitude. What Bird Box does best is portray it's moments of suspense, especially when good actors are there to help with it. Sandra Bullock is by far the best actor in the film, and we wish most of the supporting cast could at least try to be as good as her. In the end, Bird Box feels like a missed opportunity to shine on something new, but even though it didn't give us what we wanted, what it did give us is certainly tolerable.
My Rating: 6.5/10
