Great Plot, weak ending

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2019)

The storyline is fantastic. This may be one of Sandra Bullock's best performances. Supporting actors were great too. I loved how the movie simultaneously follows Bullock's character at the time the problem starts-while also showing her life in the present time. The action was intense-until the end of the movie I was on the edge of my seat. Bird Box was a roller coaster of emotions: sadness, terror, and relief.
However, there were several plot holes which were never addressed. For example, the movie never explains just how crazy one would have to be to see without a blindfold. It left me thinking, would schizophrenics be as "immune" to the problem as someone with bipolar disorder. Also, at the beginning of the movie, the problem's powers were just that it would cause people to kill themselves by looking outside. As the movie progressed, the problem was able to talk in certain people's voices and knock them to the ground. The ending will thoroughly disappoint viewers. The ending was incredibly cliche. Although, they did set it up in a way to potentially create a sequel.
