Any movie requires some sort of suspension of disbelieve. Bird Box is riddled with so many bad plot points (actions people would never do or things in places they would never be) that the film is just ruined. The concept is decent but the writer absolutely blew it on believably. It is hard to believe the writing went through any sort of editing process. Like, if someone writes in a book that there is a horse on the moon, you as an editor are supposed to point out that that could never happen since there is no air there. So you remove the horse or you write something plausible to explain how it is breathing.

Now imagine about 50 mistakes of that level of absurdity in a movie. It was just too much to overcome.

It was a tense movie, kept me nervous here and there, but would have liked some explanation for why the things that happened... happened.

Bullock is a national treasure. She does well. Keeps you engaged in each scene. Most of the cast was actually pretty good, some interesting characters. The only reason why they got 3 stars instead of 1. but much like a burned piece of steak served with raw potatoes, if you misuse even the best ingredients, the meal is ruined.

Also felt the movie employed to much "gore for the sake of gore" which is very distasteful. I found it disgusting.
