re: The Cloverfield Paradox spoiler thread

Interesting thoughts, but I am not sure they are correct (or they could be...who knows, because the movie sure as hell didn't seem to ).

I watched this and finished it last night. It was okay. Decent plot, although I was confused as to the Cloverfield tie in until the last two seconds of the movie obviously. It wasn't greatly acted and was VERY overly cliche'd (to the point of eyerolls at some points).

That being said, I didn't hate it. I did have a couple of questions though...

Are we to assume this is a different universe/timeline/reality/dimension than the original Cloverfield film? I assume so since the monster at the end of this one was big enough to stand above the clouds, while the original film had him be small enough to disappear in the city and sneak up on people.

Also, if this was the same dimension/time in this movie as the original, are we to assume that the escape pod thing they went back to Earth in has something to do with the Easter egg splashdown thing at the end of the original film? I'm talking about this scene:



I assume not, especially since in the new one, right after the escape pod goes into the clouds, this happens:



..and in the original movie, that happens at the beginning of the film and the monster isn't really around yet.

All in all, I was pretty confused by this movie and how it played into the Cloverfield reality. The above theory seems like it could be a sound one though. Who the frick knows though.
