In the near future, there is an energy crisis on Earth. The Cloverfield Station with a multinational crew will test the Shepard particle accelerator expecting to generate energy for all countries solving the energy problem. However, the experiment goes wrong, damages the station and opens a portal to another dimension with a parallel Earth. They also find a woman entwined with wires behind a bulkhead of the station and they learn she worked in an identical Cloverfield Station in another dimension. Now the scientists need to find a way to return to their own dimension. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Never mind that thing at the end, where was the plot!!

I don't like to slate films as a rule, but this was not good. The positives, the acting was ok, some nice special effects, and initially a good premise, the Earth disappearing, which in turn created some nice tension. The whole thing instantly fell apart due to the absence of any plot, I understand the whole Cloverfield premise, of nothing is supposed to make any sense until the whole thing is pieced together, but lazy writing does not make up for ambiguity. The trailers were brilliant, and instantly made me watch the film, just goes to show how powerful a trailer can be, and how bad the actual film is. The characters were presented in such a way that I had no empathy for any of them, on the whole they were unlikable. It's no wonder this went straight to Netflix.3/10
