And I thought "The Happening" was bad

Rating: 4/10 (21 December 2018)

But that is a masterpiece compared to Bird Box. Starts off with some promise as Chaos unfolds in Russia, but as the nemesis is "revealed" it just gets more and more ludicrous. Unlike A quiet place with these "aliens" you can scream, shout, act pretty much normal inside any structure, dance, sing, stumble around...just keep your eyes closed. They can read minds and make you see what they want you to see so that you kill yourself, but only if you see them. hahahahaha. If they can only be seen I'm struggling to understand the physical aspects including mimicry that we're exposed to later in the movie where we learn you apparently can outrun them...even though you are blindfolded. Basically they bit off more than they could chew and couldnt make this make sense.
Casting was pretty terrible. Bullock the 54 year old first time Mom? Really?
Four stars for the first twenty minutes, the rest?
