Bird Box (2018)
A 15 minute short film agonizingly stretched into full length.
There are some fantastic short films out there that most mainstream viewers are never exposed to. That is what this should have been.
Instead, we are treated to a 15-minute story of content, stretched with filler of melodrama, useless over the top characters, and Sandra Bullock's very tired overacting like she's rehearsing in the shower.
This would have made a great short; instead it is bloated and just plain annoying.
Oh... and the end of the film - without spoiling it - there's not much to spoil. No answers are forthcoming, only that there's a temporary at best escape. It's called being in a small holed up community that's destined to eventually collapse. Not much of a happy ending. We don't find out a damned thing about anything.
Give this a pass, unless you enjoy wasting time watching 90% filler.
