There was a time when, if an ambitious motion picture with a great cast went straight to video, it was considered a very, very, very bad sign. But to hear Netflix tell it, as of last night anyway, it is now a sign of prestige.
Super Bowl LII brought with it the usual assortment of huge Hollywood movie trailers, for upcoming blockbusters like Solo: A Star Wars Story, Mission: Impossible - Fallout and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. But there was one trailer that came as a surprise, along with an announcement that nobody expected.
The Cloverfield Paradox, the latest installment in Bad Robot’s lucrative high-concept franchise, was not only coming to Netflix… it was coming to Netflix that night, as a surprise release, not entirely unlike Beyoncé’s Lemonade (but presumably with more sci-fi in it).
