#WIKIPEDIA BIRD BOX MOVIE#
Netflix has reported that over 40 million customers have watched Bird Box in its first week of its streaming release, which basically means 35 million people likely fell asleep to Netflix and it started playing the new high-profile movie on auto play.
It's about killer monsters that cause people to violently kill themselves upon sight. But you would have to be blind not to see that.Īs a film critic, I feel compelled to write about Bird Box because, apparently, one third of the entire Internet is currently talking about this Netflix sci-fi horror movie. There is zero reason you should stream this movie. The best scenes are where Bullock is leading her two blindfolded children down a bleak, dangerous river. John Malcovich seems out of place here, as the unlikeable asshole of the group, but he does have a couple of scenes that redeem him and display his character actor chops. The other actors range from terrible to mediocre. This is something she has done for decades at this point, and Bullock knows that the middle-of-the-road star vehicle is no longer an option in todayâ(TM)s movie industry. Sandra Bullock is surprisingly good, trying her best to save a bad picture. Itâ(TM)s actually most comparable to a low budget zombie movie, complete with a group of stereotypical characters in a safe house, waiting around for their turn to die horribly. Bird Box is mostly boring, has terrible dialogue, filled with characters that irritate more than they engage, and is the most predictable movie Iâ(TM)ve seen in years. If It Comes at Night was the arthouse version, and A Quiet Place was the well-made popcorn version, this is the straight to DVD/streaming option. We have seen this kind of odd, post-apocalyptic story before and recently. So, what about the movie part of the fucking movie? Yeah, itâ(TM)s pretty terrible. (Netflix withholds that information, which is also quite questionable.) Either way, a lot of people were conned, and a lot of people made as ass of themselves wearing blindfolds for the world to see. It was likely that this brief phenomenon was not organic, and weâ(TM)ll never know how effective it was in terms of streaming numbers. So yes, Bird Box was in the estimation of many, a con-job by Netflix to inflate its numbers by creating a stupid challenge and then having reports and articles spread across social media to encourage people to click on a low-end Sandra Bullock movie that would have crashed and bombed had it been released theatrically. Bet you forgot about this one! I wish I could forget watching it.
Rating: R (Language|Brief Sexuality|Bloody Images|Violence) To make it, they'll have to cover their eyes from the evil that chases them - and complete the trip blindfolded. Searching for hope and a new beginning, a woman and her children embark on a dangerous journey through the woods and down a river to find the one place that may offer sanctuary. The survivors must now avoid coming face to face with an entity that takes the form of their worst fears. When a mysterious force decimates the population, only one thing is certain - if you see it, you die.
