Giant, gaping problem :SPOILERS

This movie is very well acted and has some genuinely exciting scenes. There are a few giant problems though.

The film is one giant spoiler. I'm not sure why I put "SPOILERS" in the title, because the film does a perfectly for you.

The structure of the film is abysmal. Instead of letting the story unfold naturally, it gives into the modern trope of skipping ahead of time to future events, removing any kind of tension or mystery from the film.

From the second "flash forward" scene, you know that everyone will die and she will end up with the other woman's pregnant woman's baby. If this was structured in a chronological way, it would add to so much more tension and I would have spent the entire movie on the edge of my seat wondering who would make it out alive.

There are also large pacing issues. It drags in its last act and could have been about 35 minutes shorter and nothing would be lost.

Bird Box: 5.5/10
