It's here! It's finally here! It's the 'The Happening' sequel no one ever wanted. In fact, you can't even really remember 'The Happening', can you? You're sitting there going "The.. happe... oh God..."

Netflix films for the most part exist in this weird un-reality where they feel like half-developed money-laundering projects borne from 30 Rock jokes or something. Besides the off-putting DTV cheapness that imbues its production design, this one's biggest flaw is that the narrative structure is all wrong for this story: we already know everybody other than Bullock and the two kids are dead by the "present," so why are we wasting time? Setting the entire film on the river would've been better.

I watched this as a double bill with A Quiet Place, and at first I felt that could be the worst possible way to watch it as it seemed like Birdbox was an example of how 'not' to do a movie like AQP. As the story unfolded BB turns out to be more like 'The Happening' with a touch of 'The Mist'. However with a runtime that was overlong, poor editing choices and the impossibility of rooting for stupid people doing stupid things, one can only assume the filmmakers were blindfolded while making this.

It might have emotional payoff while watching it, but in the hours after watching Bird Box it lacks true staying power, probably due to its unjustified structure and underdeveloped characters. Outside of Bullock's Mallory, there aren't a lot of places for an audience to emotionally connect. This is little more than a build-up of adrenaline and then its release.

Despite some flaws, and perhaps a few clichés getting aired, I felt quite well-disposed towards this. It was certainly tense, and I was engaged with the protagonists' struggle; despite the fine Bullock's character not being particularly sympathetic, I was still rooting for her. There are obvious comparisons with The Happening, but this carries its premise off much more effectively. The direction is sound if unspectacular. I have a feeling this might not stay with me, but it's worth a look.

Fortunately the story (& especially its structure), direction & performances do a such a great job of wringing a great deal of suspense out of every scene that requires it, that I chose to look past the filmmakers' decision to turn the story into ultra-PC propaganda by insuring that all the "good guy" characters are members of a "marginalized" group. Literally every adult white male not explicitly defined as gay or disabled in this film is either a selfish a-shole or a psycho.

This movie has the air of an allegory about religious compulsion, but fails to accomplish anything. Apart from the contrived relationship scenes and the inconsistent antagonist both detracting from the experience, the substantive blunder is that the imagery is horribly ill-conceived. The implication that we should blind ourselves to zealots bent on our "seeing" their dogma is utterly foolish. Exercising sound critical thinking is what we ought to do, but isn't well represented by covered eyes.

I thought Bird Box was bloody awful. There was so much ridiculousness. The two women just so happen to go in labour at EXACTLY the same time while that guy messes up everything too? They know birds detect that thing so do they need to wear blindfolds all the time? Characters were getting themselves into peril constantly, the acting was weak, the kids are never given names for FIVE whole years. Nothing is explained and the ending, what ending? It's not even "so bad it's good" like The Happening.

Incredibly good acting and great production quality for an insanely stupid premise. I am surprised that any good actors would sign up for this. If you can somehow get past the completely ridiculous unseen monsters that destroy people just by being seen, then there might be some hope of enjoying this. I was entirely disgusted with the premise but thoroughly enjoyed the performances.

It has a pretty interesting premise but did feel derivative of other post-apocalyptic stories. Most of the film wasn't particularly thrilling, but there were a couple of standout scenes that had a good amount of suspense. Bullock's performance is nothing special, but she gets the job done. Reznor and Ross' score is excellent. The screenplay was a little clumsy in parts in terms of exposition and structure, but overall, I enjoyed it and I'd totally recommend it.

It's an average movie, through and through. Nothing specifically stands out about it, unfortunately, and I have a feeling that it's place in history will be as the poor man's knock-off of The Quiet Place. It's nice to see Sandra Bullock again, though, and irregardless of quality, I'm always happy to support experimental horror such as this.

The obvious comparisons are A Quiet Place and The Happening, as others have said, but it's not as good as the first and much better than the latter. Bullock was really great here, I am digging these horror movies based on senses (or lack thereof I guess). The soundtrack is fantastic (Ross and Reznor do it again), the atmosphere is great. I guess just going down the river would be boring to watch if there was more but it suffers a little from too much backstory. Still very good.

Why are the children even here if they don't act like children and are used as props? And that bullshit plot twist where "ooh crazy people aren't affected" or something, why? Are we really still doing fear mongering around the mentally ill? Terrible characters, barely passable acting and mediocre plot. What a waste of 2 hours.

One of the most base, amateurish attempts at sci-fi horror I've ever seen. The flashback dynamic is a real lame device here, and every character from the second act is straight out of "Tropes 101." It's hard to think of this more than a made for TV movie, which it feels like outside of the involvement of Bullock and Malkovich. Watch Dawn of the Dead instead. It's like this, but not stupid. I would've given this a 0 were it not for parts of the third act, which was surprisingly okay.

A reverse-Day-of-the-Triffids story which, like a lot of apocalypse movies, can't fully escape the feeling that ultimately, however dangerous it all is, everyone is probably secretly glad they don't have to go to work on Monday. And in this one I think they do implicitly end up in some kind of small-scale communism, too. Largely familiar terrain done in largely familiar ways. Still better than 'The Road' (2009) though.

The climax wasn't very grand and I can understand how some feel the characters were underdeveloped, but I don't think this was supposed to offer any deeper study on the human condition. I still felt enough invested in everyone to be concerned of their fate. As what goes for the thrill of suspense, this piece delivers.

Enough suspense to keep me hooked and happy, though due to the overwhelming mystery around the creatures, I felt like the movie couldn't decide if it was focusing on them or the people; either it was about the characters and the creatures felt like a lazy, over-used plot device, or about the creatures and not nearly enough time was spent explaining them. Fortunately, the mystery at least makes it re-watchable and keeps it on my mind for a bit afterward as I keep wondering.

Imagine aliens so ugly that if you see one, you go nuts, but all they want to do is look at you. Do you know why? Well, I don't, and yet I've also spent two hours looking at blindfolded nutters rowing boats and driving cars, must be addictive. The full moon rises, idiots turn their jedi powers on and out they go idioting. Circus is in town. Finally the subtlety of the story hits you with a twist and the overall feeling is difficult to describe (as subtlety requires) in words known to humanity.

Some reviews are much sillier than this unexceptionally silly movie. Like expecting kids raised in this environment to "act like kids" or believing that this film "stigmatizes" the mentally ill. This is the product of irrational devotion to our present psychiatry, or psychiatrists' tweets, that is no less than zealotry. Power is being willed onto dross so that we may be liberated from dross through further institutionalization, in some collective Promethean psychodrama. Now that is fucking crazy

Utterly implausible development. Ever tried going down a river with such a clonker? You'd go overboard a 100 times before the rapids. All of it is very contrived. I guess you could go without explaining what the creatures are but introducing the villains who can look without explanation looks like a mere plot device. Very cliché otherwise, the love story, the usual propaganda: it starts in Russia, the wonderful humane US army in Iraq... No meaning, either psychological or philosophical.

Decent movie. BUT. The story is a mess, a mixture of other movies that will never ultimately satisfy you. Did Bier/Heisserer watched The Happening? Cargo (it is a NETFLIX movie, they SHOULD have seen it!)? The mist? Skyline? Come on. Do you? If so, do not expect nothing new. Even worst, there won't be any kind of explanation, without being a movie based on the "fear of the unknown". Final judjment: an entertaining mess.

A decent and well-acted, if unoriginal, thriller. The dialog is written a bit too clever for the more grounded tone the film was otherwise going for. Because of that, the dialog (and thus, most of the human drama) often fell flat. This would be fine if not for the film's choice to focus on the human drama instead of, for instance, the mystery of the creatures.

Also I think they tried to add some metaphores in "Annihilation" style but meh. If you want to keep the audience curious and attached, use the main event. Stop making "it all happened just get over with it" kind of mystery movies.

I actually really enjoyed this. A better version of The Happening mixed with A Quiet Place (though not as good). I do have a problem with the structure of the story however, as it gives away almost everything very early on. I’d also say I was a bit more interested in the pre-timeskip story as there was a bit more to it. Post-timeskip really was a less interesting A Quiet Place. Still entertaining regardless of its slightly squandered potential.

Would be great if they would reveal a bit, at some time, about what the fuck is going on. I didn't appreciate how all the marketing for the movie centered around Bullock and the kids, when most of the film apparently takes place as a flashback. And once you see one trailer, you have the rest of the movie plotted out. Some great atmosphere at times, but it isn't enough to make this film very good.

It really could have been a better movie. I think Sandra Bullock did her best, but the writing absolutely terrible. There are so many plot-holes, and things in the story that just don't add up. It gives the film an unrealistic perception, that the audience can't really relate. It was just bad overall, and I'd probably stay away. I would say it's an original movie, but its almost a replica of The Happening.

Sandra Bullock did justice to the genre with her transformation in the movie from a detached single mother to a mother who is at peace with her emotions after a roller coaster dystopian ride. The movie played at the fringes of being too ridiculous with the blindfolded fending against sighted enemies and navigating themselves through treacherous rivers and terrains. My favourite thing about the movie was how it played on missing a fundamental human sense which we take for granted so often.

It has some great scenes of tension and some great atmosphere but overall it's lacking in a lot of deparments.Other than Sandra Bullock(who sometimes is a bit wooden also but anyway)and Trevante Rhodes every other character/performance is either mediocre or bad.Some of the dialogue is very clanky and the way the movie decides to tell its story felt like a weird choice because it makes you be one step ahead of everything.

Agghhh, this could have been great had the characters obeyed the rules that the film set up! They look into the crazy guy's eyes to see if he's okay to let him in the house, he is, then his eyes change at will. That's not how it works! The movie told me so earlier on. What the fuck. It's just a lazy plot device to get them out of the house. And why wouldn't the entities use sound to trick them all the time, and not just in the last 15 minutes? And don't get me started on the blindfolded driving.

**spoiler** if you dont dare to kill one of those stupid children as a screenplay which is contemporary with game of thrones and the mist etc.., then i dont care about giving any credit for your conservative story either..

Best Netflix movie by a mile. With that being said, probably one of three movies Netflix made that I would classify as good. This had my attention througout. Good acting by Bullock.

Some mystical meanings + lots of clichés. Still, you will watch it to the end without getting bored.

while the ending is too disney-esque I was overall positively surprised by bird box. sure, it falls into many of the Classic zombie flick traps but it somehow manages to at times be really spooky. the criminally insane patients was an unnecessary addition to the plot, however. John f*cking Malkovich shines as always.

Psychologically well plotted horror. It's rare I get this engaged for this type of movie. That doesn't mean Bird Box (2018) isn't without shortcomings, but they do a nice job of covering those up. Netflix and Sandra Bullock picked a good one.

Yeah it probably started from Russia or Iran or North Korea and killed all the people in USA! I liked Susanne Bier more when she was making movies in Denmark.

Susanne Bier is a competent director, but this film is so high concept it hurts, and is filled to the brim with every cliche from every zombie movie you can think of. So despite everything looking fine and some quality actors putting in a solid day's work nothing can really rescue this movie from it's B-movie trappings. Certainly not the pedestrian script, or the ditzy narrative.

Very average. Has a bit of of promise towards the very end but that sadly last about 2 minutes before it fizzle out into nothing.

A great concept, with a great set of rules, and led by a fiery Bullock performance. I don't agree with letting the tension come down so often to provide such a detailed backstory, but I suppose it makes everything a bit more accessible.

The movie kept me on the edge of my seat throughout and had a really interesting premise. The acting was great, especially Sandra Bullock's performance, and the cinematography was stunning. However, there were a few plot holes that left me confused and the ending felt a bit rushed. Overall, I would recommend giving it a watch.

It’s kind of a rubbish movie, but Bird Box is mostly taut and suspenseful with a pretty good cast. While preposterous and very poorly written (it’s hard to believe this same screenwriter was responsible for Arrival), Susanne Bier sustains interest and genuine tension until everything sort of unravels in the slightly ridiculous last half hour when the movie runs out of surprises but doesn’t run out of movie. I guess it’s not very good, but I enjoyed it anyway.

This starts off well and the first hour or so was pretty decent, not great but decent. However, this started to drag after the first part and the introduction of a new and incredibly stupid twist nearly crippled this movie and knocked my enjoyment down a few notches.

Seeing this just after A QUIET PLACE, it's hard not to feel that end-of-the-world scenarios are working their way through all possible permutations (looking forward to the one where you die if you don't have your nose plugs in), but it still seems a bit arbitrary that this film appears to have come in for so much criticism relative to others. Admittedly, the theme of a reluctant new mother turning into a fierce defender of her children is pretty dull, and the happy ending is probably misjudged.
