History YMMV / TheCloverfieldParadox

* IdiotPlot: The movie is about a mission to find a new energy source after fossil fuels run dry on earth. The premise hinges on the fact that nobody ever wanted or sought out a way to use renewable energy sources. Even if there is a reason why it might be unusable, the movie never explains it.

* ClicheStorm: One of the major complaints is how derivative this film is of several other space set sci-fi/horror movies. There's the main character having a connection to family, the captain that [[spoiler: dies (specifically in a HeroicSacrifice)]], the sudden appearance of a character that turns out to be [[spoiler:untrustworthy and murderous]], the intercutting between the main situation and a character on earth, even a simple scene like Volkov having an alien parasite instead him and looking at himself in a mirror, observing something moving his eye is strikingly similar to a scene from ''Film/Prometheus'' with Charlie doing the same basic thing.

* IdiotPlot: Apparently, nobody thought that renewable energy might be an easier and safer route to solve the energy crisis than bending the fabric of space-time.

* IdiotPlot: Apparantly nobody thought that renewable energy might be an easier and safer route to solve the energy crisis than bending the fabric of space-time.

* TearJerker: "Tell them not to come back. Tell them not to come back! TELL THEM NOT TO COME BACK! Do you hear me? TELL THEM NOT TO COME BACK!!!"

* TearJerker: "Tell them not to come back!"

* IdiotPlot: Apparantly nobody though that renewable energy might be an easier and safer route to solve the energy crisis than bending the fabric of space-time.

* ShockigMoments:

* {{HSQ}}:
** The fact that Creator/{{Netflix}} decided to premiere the movie ''directly'' after the UsefulNotes/{{Superbowl}} is this AND a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for them.
** ''THE ENDING.'' [[spoiler:After 10 long years, the monster (or at least the mother of Clover) itself finally returns. And it's ''[[SerialEscalation huge.]] By that, we mean large enough to reach above the clouds in the sky.'']]

** Every death except for Jensen's.

* TheWoobie: Everyone on the Cloverfield Space Station and pretty much everyone on Earth.

** The fact that Creator/{{Netflix}} decided to premiere the movie ''directly'' after the UsefulNotes/{{Superbowl}} is this AND a MomentOfAwesome for them.

* AwesomeMusic: Once again, Bear [=McCreary's=] fantastic score is ''very'' pleasing to the ears.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Just about everything that has to do with [[spoiler: [[ItMakesSenseInContext Mundy's arm]]]]. Mixed with NightmareFuel.
--> '''Mundy:''' [[ARareSentence What are you talking about,]] [[spoiler: [[ARareSentence arm]]]]?!
--> '''Mundy:''' [[spoiler: [[ARareSentence My arm]]]] [[ARareSentence helped us find the Earth]]!

** ''THE ENDING.'' [[spoiler:After 10 long years, the monster (or at least the mother of Clover) itself finally returns. And it's ''[[SerialEscalation fucking enormous.]]'']]
