    Storyline

    Edit
    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

    • Alternate versions
      When the movie premiered on Netflix, the Netflix logo appeared before the Bad Robot logo at the start of the film. When the movie was released on DVD and Blu-Ray by Paramount Pictures, the Netflix logo was replaced by the Paramount logo which still runs before the Bad Robot logo.

    Well that was disappointing...
    There's a reason they released this movie right when the whole country would be positively drunk.

    Remember that lame scene in Interstellar where the movie stops to explain wormholes with a piece of paper? Now imagine a whole movie of that.

    This disappointing sidequel, though its talented cast tries their best, is jam-packed with clunky expository dialogue and unanswered questions. It's actually amazing that even with spending this much time explaining what's going on that it still makes such little sense.

    Sadly, this is a movie whose marketing strategy is more surprising and inventive and than the actual film.
