10 Cloverfield Lane made headlines when its start trailer debuted inward forepart of screenings for Michael Bay's 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, non only for beingness connected inward around agency to the 2007 cult hitting Cloverfield but likewise for how much of its production was done inward secrecy; that's no hateful feat inward the era of data leaks. Fans hoped that the cinema would alive upward to their slap-up expectations (let us non forget that a Cloverfield sequel has been wished for past times many for around fourth dimension now), in addition to I'm pleased to tell that 10 Cloverfield Lane truly is a fantastic cinema although maybe non the 1 fans of the master were hoping for.
Indeed, if you lot were optimistic this cinema would shed low-cal on the nature of the so-called Cloverfield Monster thence you lot volition live left disappointed, equally producer J.J. Abrams insists that this cinema does non fifty-fifty direct maintain house inward the same continuity equally the found-footage sci-fi flick released nine years prior. But piece you lot won't discovery answers inward a screening of 10 Cloverfield Lane, what you lot volition discovery is a well-written atmospheric thriller which deserves to live recognised equally far to a greater extent than than simply "Cloverfield's sort-of sequel," but equally an impressive drama characteristic inward its ain right.
The cinema follows the storey of Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Michelle who upon waking upward inward a doomsday bunker is left to wonder whether the earth inward a higher house her is quite equally uninhabitable equally her captor Howard (John Goodman) claims: in addition to she's non the only individual struggling to brand her heed up. Throughout this film I works life myself trying in addition to failing to unpick the truthful nature of this province of affairs equally nosotros the audience are constantly beingness thrown to dissimilar conclusions for the duration of this rollercoaster story. This makes for a thrilling viewing experience, one that quite literally had me on the border of my spot for virtually the entirety of the climactic second half.
One must praise all 3 of the atomic number 82 performances for beingness genuinely stellar; Winstead is compelling as the principal protagonist, while Goodman consistently manages to expertly walk the line between caring in addition to creepy creating 1 of the to a greater extent than complex characters of mainstream film house thence far this year. 10 Cloverfield Lane's unsung hero may good be John Gallagher Jr., who lacks both Winstead's screen-time in addition to the mystery of Goodman's Howard but nonetheless plays a pivotal role hither equally Michelle's beau captor Emmett.
Where 10 Cloverfield Lane has proven divisive is inward its lastly human activeness where a drastic shift inward musical note has left around scratching their heads. Personally, I enjoyed fifty-fifty this purpose of the cinema equally I was thence invested inward Winstead's grapheme past times this betoken that petty could direct maintain taken me out of this immersive story, nonetheless I tin empathize why around would encounter these lastly scenes equally an strange alter of pace.
In spite of this contentious finale 10 Cloverfield Lane remains a remarkably potent film, 1 that is without a incertitude worth your fourth dimension in addition to money. Familiarity alongside the start Cloverfield entry is alone optional equally those alongside no cognition of that experimental sci-fi characteristic volition soundless discovery themselves wrapped upward inward the intense human drama this film provides.
