Has anyone seen this Netflix movie? I saw it last night and I now know why the studio dumped this film by selling it to Netflix. This movie was supposed to originally get a theatrical release.

The premise seemed interesting and the movie started off with some interesting mysteries but then when the proverbial crap hit the fan, the movie just devolved into several ridiculous events and the final "reveal" at the end of the film was pretty laughable.

Had a real hard time staying interested to watch more. John Goodman more a less made this movie, but the other actors took it down.

John Goodman was in the previous Cloverfield movie, not this one.

I... um... kind of liked it? As you say, the first half is better than the second- but I found it all pretty entertaining.

I actually REALLY enjoyed 10 Cloverfield Lane (the one with John Goodman).
