Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

Watched half of it last night. Reserving judgment until finish.

Next night. How did this even get made? Parts of it are so well made, and parts of it are not even rough-draft worthy. You can see someone spent money on this, and some good actors were found, and there was some real effort here. But the writing is barely a draft, and yet someone decided to go ahead with this.

It's baffling. I suspect the truth will come out some day, years or decades from now. It will probably involve favors owed, blackmail held, legal obligations discharged, and/or some such nonsense, that will explain how this beautiful trainwreck ever even happened.
