Giant, gaping problem :SPOILERS

How did she get to the wilderness with the blind fold ? Also no night time scenes which I found strange.

Well the structure isn't a spoiler, it'a choice from the director or someone else. Yes the flash fowards give you some hints that most people will die. But some didn't (they stole the car and left). On the other hand, some situation are more interesting : who is her child and which one is not ? Why is she shooting a Survivor ?

However, there is a high probability they made that structural choice simply to prepare the audience to the several incoming deaths. If that's the case, the artistic choice is poor.

They show us adults killing them selves because of the eye devils so with the world completely killed of 5 years later you have to assume even the children were killing themselves at some point.

Pretty dark themes in this movie.

I thought the same thing. Why have a flashback scene if it takes away from such awesome opportunity for tension. Someone should rearrange bird box to the correct chronological order, and offer that version instead.

Agreed. Immediately knew the others would be killed off, before she gets into that boat.

I agree with your last comment here. I find many movies run way over their course for time and can be much shorter without taking anything away from the movie.

The first thing I thought when this movie ended was that I wish it had finished at an hour-and-half or an hour-and-fifteen minutes in. (It ran for about 2:04.)

The movie started off at a fast clip, which I really liked, and maintained a good pace to about halfway. But then it bogged down for the last third of the movie.

Gotta give Netflix credit for putting out some pretty good flicks though. Even this one, which could've been just a little better.

"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."

*sigh*

Seen Titanic?
Everyone knew what would happen even before the movie even started!
However, in movies like these, it does not matter *what* happens, but rather *how*.

I struggle to understand why some people do not understand that this is a perfectly fine way to tell a movie, especially when well done like here. I read so much shit about Bird Box and was very positively surprised when I finally got to see it last night, and I am not exactly easy to please compared to all the brain-dead super hero movie crowd.

Yes, you knew from the first scene that whoever she had met before that point was dead or otherwise gone. I, also would have preferred a chronological telling.
And, it easily could have told the same story in 1:40.
