Perfect Netflix film for a Sunday night

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2019)

For anyone interested in Bird Box, I suggest ignoring the bad comments and enjoying the film. I agree that there may be a bit of over hype, however, this film simply is what it is. It's one of Netflix's best selling products, it has Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich on it, and it must certainly deliver a sequel.
For those comparing this film to A Quiet Place, I would say that Bird Box is better. A Quiet Place is the one that is very much overrated! I agree that A Quiet Place is a good film, but can't deny it seems like a reboot to the Cloverfield franchise. Bird Box is a much better dystopian film and, in my opinion, is very well adapted from the novel. Bird Box might not have the technical qualities of A Quiet Place, but at least is much more fun and thrilling.
I admit that there may be some loose ends and clichÃ©s typical to the genre. However, let's all be realistic and acknowledge this film for what it is. If you really want to watch an outstanding apocalyptic thriller, please refer to Children of Men, Dark City, Blade Runner and the like.
Score: 7.5/10
