Whoa is me, what a complete dope, a complete bird brain, tweet, tweet. I decided to become a sheep & follow the trail that led me to signing on to Netflix 24hrs before watching Bird Box with Sandra Bullock, John Malkovich, Sarah Paulson (12 Year's a Slave, Desperate Housewives).

In addition, Parminder Nagra (Bend It Like Beckham/ER & Pruitt Taylor (Constantine/Gotti) & relatively new kid on the block Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight, The Predator).

After hearing in the news media about the stock price of Netflix & the growth of its customer base by millions & investment in Netflix new projects by £30Billion+ in the New Year and beyond.

I hadn't bothered to read any reviews prior to setting my aperitif beside me to indulge in 2:04 minutes of entertainment. That is when after the first ten minutes had passed I realized I was hungry so made a snack, continued watching after 30 minutes my phone lit up and I indulged in idle chit chat for a further 20 minutes.

A further inordinate amount of time passed, then my wife returned home after a further 15 minutes had passed me by I continued to the very end.

Contrivances and cliches abound throughout. The plot is straight forward, but that is when the story leaves you asking, asking & furthermore questions follow leaving you wondering, er why did I just do this! Did I really just watch this well worn trial of utter (xxddf@&:;-)

This is one film as other reviewers have stated copies other genres like the past movie models, (not going to repeat them), tv shows like The Dome, The Walking Dead and a litany of other doomsday apocalyptic fodder that have laid waste to time that can never be retrieved.

Please sit down and enjoy, yawn. You have been warned.

P.S. 4/10 is due to the cast alone & the birds that survived with Bullock, Boy & Girl and....
