I love how Star Trek Beyond uses amber from Fringe with zero explanation, just assuming because they're both Bad Robot productions everyone would just know how it worked

My ★★★★ review of Super 8 (2011) on Letterboxd:

[rickchung]

Batman: Caped Crusader (prod. Bruce Timm).

Much of the Bat-themed crime fighter's grounded stories told here evoke all-new ideas to the well-worn DC Comics mythology behind the dark superhero. Caped Crusader does a fine job of reintroducing audiences to Batman's classic lore as a worthy successor to the original '90s B:TAS.

The Cloverfield Paradox

When Cloverfield jumped onto the scene in 2008, it was a smash hit for many reasons. Of course, the studio and Bad Robot wanted to explore further the universe they had created. In 2016 came 10 Cloverfield Lane and in 2018 The Cloverfield Paradox. Chronologically, Paradox comes first in the series.

The Cloverfield Paradox explores science fiction themes, potential global disaster as well as horror aspects all in one movie. It is a bit messy at times when trying to bring the plot together. This movie was originally not intended to be a part of the Cloverfield universe and was a spec script called the God Particle. They shoehorn the Cloverfield aspects into the plot, but ultimately, it does work. The mess that is created here has zero to do with the elements of Cloverfield and more to do the exploration of alternate dimensions and timelines. It is needlessly far fetched but does not really dive too deep into it either.

Some films benefit from more explanation and world building. Cloverfield does not really need that to be fair. A direct sequel to the original film would have been much better. There were ideas that later became A Quiet Place. Abrams is still adamant that a sequel to the 2008 film is coming at some point. Cloverfield has lost the relevancy it once had. 10 Cloverfield Lane, while a great film, was another example of how you can just make a film apart of the universe just for the sake of it. Same with Paradox. It suffers from a lack of originality, and had they kept this its own thing, it could have been something special.
