All of the Netflix promotion for Bird Box was a curiosity for me as I get accustomed to hype I associate with movie theatre releases. It was cool to be able to settle down in front of my own television for what was presented to me as a movie theatre experience. The movie itself is rocker recliner worthy, thanks in large measure to Sandra Bulloch. I find her entertaining to watch in whatever she does - I just like her presence and this movie was among the best to showcase the gritty dispassionate persona she excels at portraying. John Malkovich was mildly irritating owing to being the stereotypical malcontent character but that was the only drawback for me. In terms of the storyline, it doesn't hold up at all under second sober thought, but by then the movie is over, I'm off to bed, and most importantly, I've had my entertainment fix.
