I've been hearing about this Netflix Original called Bird Box for a decent time now, spanning not only a challenge but what some people call one of the greatest films in awhile. To your dismay, I disagree.

Meet this lady who's pregnant when a strange force begins to make people suicide or go mad at a single glance at whatever the hell it is. With the force on the rise, she must live in this very very harsh environment while a series of unfortunate events begin to unfold.

I liked the pace of the half of the story that took place in the beginning of the outbreak because each scene was just as equally as fast paced as the next, but the half that takes place in the present got a little jiitered and clunky. Some parts of the present scenes seemed to slow and it's pace dramatically increased or decreased. I didn't like how there were a lot of time jumps and a lot of deaths were seemingly for nothing.

Also the ending was in a way how I predicted but the story at least tried to unfold itself in a way to keep the viewers learning what happened and why they're there in the present like that. Also I love how we never get to know about the origin of this force because, like Cam, it focused more on survival than the villain. If it was a prequel to A Quiet Place and they altered 40 percent of the story I'd be a little more interested but the outcome would most likely be the same.

Not the worst for Netflix but it definitely isn't the best.
