THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX (Clover Monsters, Aliens, WW3 + Ending) EXPLAINED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2023
- Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested, today, we’ll finally be exploring The Cloverfield Paradox in more detail.
Directed by Julias Onah, written by Oren Uziel, and produced by J.J Abrams, the film ties the cloverfield universe together and hints to a multiverse of chaotic potential. Starring Daniel Brühl, David Oyelowo, Elizabeth Debicki, Aksel Hennie, Chris O'Dowd, John Ortiz, Zhang Ziyi and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, the film centres around an energy crisis about to tear the world apart.
Set in the near future, depleting resources and the threat of World War three leads the world powers to build a space station equipped with a particle accelerator. Their plan is to both find a new source of energy and unite the nations, while doing so from a safe distance.
On board the Cloverfield Station is Jason Kiel, the American commander, Ernst Schmidt, a German physicist, Monk Acosta, their Brazilian doctor, the ship’s three engineers, Gordan Mundy, Sasha Volkov, and Ling Tim, from Ireland, Russia and China, and finally Ava Hamilton, a British comms officer and the main protagonist of the film.
Although they manage to unlock the key to unlimited power, they also open up a multiverse of complications.
Through the films unravelling narrative, Julius provides the building blocks for the Cloverfield universe, piecing together an explanation for how humanity came under attack from mysterious creatures and aliens.
In this video, we’re going to explore The Cloverfield Paradox, it’s theory of a multiverse and how it ties the Cloverfield cinematic universe together.

Still waiting for a Cloverfield sequel where they explore more of the lore. Its some seriously interesting stuff filled with Lovecraftian monsters, conspiracies, cover-ups by large corporations, and Slusho!
There actually working on the sequel already but we don’t know yet of what’s it’s gonna be about
Yes! Loved all the slusho and conspiracy theory fake websites they made with it. I was so into it as a kid. They confirmed a direct sequel to the original cloverfield is in production but still really early on. We might get the sequel in 2024 or 2025 if we’re lucky.
You're probably gonna be waiting awhile, the original cloverfield was just a modern take for doing a low budget "found footage" film. Besides Abrams has always been a hack. Even with lost they were just making shit up as they went along with literally no direction.
Theres only one true cloverfield movie
@@chitownRB33 I actually remember there being a phone number (which even had the Japanese +81 country code) listed on the website, and I called it on my old Nokia phone. It played some automated recording but I remember thinking it was neat.
I remember when Cloverfield first came out when I was in high-school. It was when modern "found-footage" type movies started getting more popular. Good times. This franchise is going to be a cult-classic for sure.
This is basically the 2000's terminator saga. I love shit that spans across multi verses
I bought it on DVD cause I heard good things. Then it ended and I had to check to make sure I wasn't tripping or really high. Nope. Hour 15. It left off too early. Could have done more but I respect the fact they didn't bloat it. Still wanted more out of that first movie.
I was in 6th grade when it came out. I remember being in the locker rooms with all the boys excited and hyped af for this giant alien monster movie. We thought it was a return from Godzilla lol. Good times indeed.
The og Blair witch
Man I remember running to blockbuster to rent it ❤
My headcanon for this movie is that each of the characters is sent to a different genre by the accident. Prior to the accident everyone has reasonable backstories and behavior. After the accident one character is in a cartoonish comedy, one in a spy thriller, one in a alien movie, one in a kaiju movie, etc, etc.
I noticed that too but I fead it as more context/flavor rather than actually being sent to 4+ different worlds.
If the next cloverfeild movie isnt a noir film where thre particle accelerator removed color, and transported earth back to the like 50s imma be mad
@@nlarsonlol yes please
Does “my head cannon” just mean “shit I made up”?
@@moriyokiri3229 i mean... thats basically the definition of head cannon, as in cannon you have in your own head and might not be right but you just choose to accept it as such
Really wish cloverfield paradox made them ACTUALLY delete the earth, cause that’s the scariest concept I’ve ever friggin heard
the thought of being on a space station that no longer orbits earth is terrifying, my stomach feels hollow thinking about it
That’s why they have a spaceship so they can travel to different worlds and see which one is the safest to stay on and start life over again
Nah the simulation doesn’t allow earth to be deleted. It’s like the trash 🗑️ on windows
Kind of crazy how worst case scenario our scientists kill us literally by accident lol
If you find this concept intriguing there is a German book called universum by Phillip P. Peterson, where there is a spaceship going into a warp bubble for faster than light travel and instead of a relative fraction of a second they stay inside for days, causing them (also cause they create another bubble inside the bubble) to travel so far ahead into the future that there is only black holes and darkness left! That is a scary concept
I really hope the next movie is set in Earth 2 with the alien invasion. I really want to see how that war unfolds and where the Cloverfield universe goes from there.
Ikr? I want to see the outcome how humanity fights against this bio-mechanical spaceships.
It’s already confirmed that it’s a direct sequel to the first movie.
I like to see Earth 3's events with the giant monsters, just imagine the size of the parasites . 😳
Humanity bands together to defeat the threat against earth 😂
@@bretcamacho2182 well, you could pretty much sum-up it like that. Thats one way to put t. But I want to see the nuances and struggles and drama involved in that. What happens exactly. And no less important, what do we get to know about the attacking alien's behavior and MO. I find that always interesting in movies.
NICE, despite the fact that The Cloverfield Paradox was not well received by Critics and fans, it was also controversial as it was released the day after the Superbowl on Netflix February 4, 2018, and everyone was like, "WTF!? They released another Cloverfield movie and we didn't know about it!?"
Thats because it was originally to be it own indepedent netflix film with not ties to the cloverfield films. But because of viwers low interest in this movie they decided to piggyback it to the more popular Cloverfield films and stamp the name G.G Abrams to it.
Life (2017) should've been part of the Cloverfield universe not this Paradox garbage. The ending of Life where the capsule falls into the ocean perfectly fits and explains the origin of the Cloverfield monsters.
One commercial. Stealth release. I watched it right after the Superbowl that year.
@@darthkai8242 it was called The Cellar or The Bunker, something like that. Cloverfield Paradox was initially called God Particle.
That’s literally America’s pastime they were so stupid for releasing it on that date. (I love American football) Trust me I would’ve watched the Cloverfield Paradox…
You forgot about the 5th universe where they're just movies, yes I'm actually counting us as part of the Cloverfield multiverse.
FACTS!
Does cloverfield clover if no one watches?
I've been in science for 25 yrs and this was the most concise and intelligible explanation of a particle accelerator I have ever heard.
Put aside the fact that building that in space is dumb af... especially when you have some energy shortage
As an old fan of Sci-Fi (I've been watching sci-fi movies and TV shows since I was 6 years old), I love how the Cloverfield Universe links to all the Movies to one simple Test to try and save the Earth...
Cheers, no need to watch any of them now
Me too
@@ashs_insights I might actually rewatch them, with Paradox being first, just to see if anything might catch my attention (tbf, I do the same every year on my birthday for the Hobbit/Lord of the rings stuff)...
@@johnnysizemore5797 I was thinking about it. But now that I know the whole general storyline and outcome just from a single comment... You know, not much point now
Nobody cares how long you've been watching sci-fi for.
One of my favorite and most interesting franchises!
I really wish these movies came back with more stories and versions.
I'd prefer a road map with movies deliberately connected, instead of shoehorning them all together
@@greenkoopa
There is enough of that going on with many other movie franchises and their sequels.
I like this idea because you are always being surprised.
10 Cloverfield Lane was a very nice departure from what we got back in 2008 with the original and Paradox nicely connected the world.
Now we have a spring board to launch multiple franchises and gradually link them together leaving us the fan with a mystery to unravel.
@@xBloodXGusherx if it's gonna be an anthology then why be connected at all except for an unrelated storyteller such as the Creep?
@@greenkoopa
Because it provides a launch point to tell more stories.
People love the idea of their beloved characters intersecting similar to Rogue One.
There are too many people who live by these rigid rules of how movies and media is supposed to be consumed and I feel that's how we close our selves off to other possibilities.
Like I said, there are many franchises out there which follow your favored sequential release patterns.
Apparently theyre working on Cloverfield 4. It was supposed to be a direct sequel to the first one but that was from 2018 so who knows how much has changed.
I remember the part of the movie where the ship drowned one of the astronauts. As if it was trying to purge a virus from itself.
It was this universe trying to correct their intrusion.
@@filmcomicsexplained My thoughts about your saying regarding the 4 timelines at the last minutes.
Here's mine:
Earth 1 - yep they are saved since the monster there have been transported in Earth 3.
Earth 2 - it's humans vs aliens genre. Don't know the outcome but we do need a sequel from this timeline in which humanity fighting back. The bio-mechanical spaceships aren't invulnerable since one of it was taken down by a Molotov cocktail by throwing it inside the mouth. The spaceship ignited due ingesting crop dust. Or something like that.
Earth 3 - there might be hope even with the planet being overrun by monsters that have appeared due to the particle accelerator mesh-mashing the dimensions. The two astronaut that have gone back to Earth could relay their successful mission with the unlimited energy that can be used as a weapon against the monsters. It's basically like nuclear power to nuclear weapons. No idea how much devastating the energy can be.
And Earth 4 - frankly no hope. 14 months have passed and the world is already in shambles. There might be some underground government that would use the transmitted info they gotten to find the means in accessing the limitless energy from the particle accelerator if they have the resources and can make it right.
@@Deeznootsgotteem okay?
@@Agencyagent34lol
@@rogueascendant6611 Are you saying that the only ti:eline where al hope is lost is when human fight each other?
I think everyone can agree we just want a direct sequel of Cloverfield 1
I always get confused on Cloverfield Lane and how there’s an alien presence. After watching this, I’m assuming in the Lane universe a massive wave of energy pulsed from a location in space next to Earth. So what if one of the consequences with a successful particle accelerator is that it contacted the aliens unintentionally. Their hostility is because of the energy from the pulse, it probably got a lot of attention but the aliens that rely on invading and harvesting(Independence Day aliens) would immediately invade first.
Unless you take time travel into account then it doesn't make sense. Howard knew about the aliens for years enough to build two shelters. And it set way before paradox. And the time it would take the pulse even at light speed would be years for it to reach even the closest star systems.
@@nyetloki but as we know from Overlord, time is relative to the universe your in. So you HAVE to take time travel into account- each universe had the energy applied to it at different points.
So Earth 2 might of had the energy burst in the 12th century, alerted the Aliens that there is a huge and harvestable energy source at Earth, they waste a crap ton of resources getting here and find a load of dumb mud monkeys and no energy source.
@@nyetloki The whole point of this video is that the Cloverfield paradox affected things that were in different timelines. Doesn't matter how long it takes the energy to reach somewhere, because the energy burst happened in every single universe in every timeline at the same time.
@@nyetloki Howard comes from a family of conspiracists. He could have easily been prepping for general doomsday and just happen to get it right, hands on a clock and all that.
@@deathscreton Howard specifically worked in the military on spy satellite analysis where he and multiple people found evidence of the upcoming attack. Conspiracy theorist normally aren't right
I genuinely hope this universe gets expanded more, it's too good to just die off. Actually creative and unique!
Always good to see more Cloverfield
FINALLY! THE BEST ANALYST ON RUclips GIVES US THE VIDEO WE’VE ALWAYS WANTED ❤ Today is a good day 😇
Niyat uploads are a highly erotic experience
Far from the best "analyst", he is cliffnotes for films. Not really explaining, breaking down characters etc.
@@Marin3r101 this is a whole lie lmao he’s done full character breakdowns before
simp
@@Marin3r101 That’s his opinion Bozo and he has way better analysis skills than you will ever have
Yes we see in this movie those Cloverfield monster grow to truly frightening proportions.
I've been confused for years. Thank you for making this video. Tying it all together! This series makes so much sense now.
GLORIOUS! I knew things were connected but I didnt REALIZE it was because the station broke and FUSED pieces of each TOGETHER! MAAAN I luv cosmic horror science. Lol
Ryan Reynolds - Life, Danny McBride - Allen Covenant, T.J. Miller - Underwater (and Cloverfield)… it was great to see Chris O’Dowd in this movie. I love when a sci-fi story fully integrates a skilled comedian. I feel that they help to intensify the weird and fear.
Oh, and you did a truly fantastic job articulating the hard science used in this fiction movie.
Ryan Reynolds being Ryan Reynolds in Blade Trinity makes an already bad film utterly intolerable to watch.
The worst part is how the first two Blade movies are absolute classics.
In the original movie I remember a message after they bombed it in the park that it was still alive. Meaning they didn't kill it.
I watched a screening of this movie and all the "cloverfield" aspects were tacked on after. However, I like how you are able to create a cohesive narrative that links all the stories together. I can see now how J.J. Abrams saw how all these worlds could be connected, but when I was watching this movie in the screening I was just like "WTF am I watching". No talks of parallel worlds and no talks of cloverfield, just one shiny cameo of one giant monster at the end.
How were there no parallel world talks? I'm fascinated! What was Mina's introduction to the film like without that discussion? It seems like the whole plot hinges on this so I'm curious to know what your screening was like.
@@ShinySephiroth1 I think he meant the first 2 Cloverfield movies. Even in Cloverfield 3, not many viewers know that the universe in the story are Earth 3 and Earth 4. That include me. I thought that their original universe is the same universe(before got transported to Mina's universe) from Cloverfield 1 & 2.
@@AlexSDU Ah, I can see that 👍
Did you see it when they were still calling it The God Particle and it was it's own stand-alone film? I swear on my life I saw a trailer of it before where after they ran the machine, the earth disappears from where they were looking at it. I am in desperate search of that.
the only thing missing is the alien aspect of the second. which the second is missing how the big clover monster meshes with the aliens....
You make the best analysis on RUclips! Thanks for the effort. I absolutely love this franchise and it's not talked about enough
I’m glad someone was finally able to properly explain this movie. I had seen reviews of it before but never fully understood them.
I was beginning to think this movie was a fever dream because I couldn't find it in stores after watching it on Netflix. Thank you for confirming this movie actually exists in this universe.
Your videos are always fantastic and I love that there’s so many videos on your channel for me to binge, easily in my top 3 favourite YT channels of all time
I'm glad you covered this movie. I enjoy your in-depth reviews and you have an excellent voice for narration.
more cloverfield content makes my day
This is one of the most comprehensive and detailed looks into this film franchise and was very much needed bravo!!!
I just re-watched paradox. Surprised to see this explained episode. We need more of these Cloverfield movies.
Which movie is that?I've watched Monstrous and the one where were 3 ppl in the basement with John Goodman I think.?
@@troublednamed8054 The 3rd one, where an international crew of humans go in to space to save the world from a desperate energy shortage.
One of the biggest fears for me is the clover monster. I mean look at the adult one, remember those freaky parasite things the baby one had the were the size of large dogs that would explode people? Just imagine the size of the ones the adult one has, no thank you.
😄😄😄They would probably be the size of a small building since adult Clovers can see over clouds!
Honestly the concept of this movie was good, it just needed it’s own series.
It was it's own stand alone movie called The God Particle before being bought and forced into the Cloverfield universe. I was very sad to see it suffer thus fate.
BRO IM SO GLAD WE GOT THIS VIDEO! Ive always wanted more info on these movies. Its always been so vague
This puts the biggest smile on my face and this is on a Friday night.
The baby from Cloverfield fell off its mother back when they crossed the demensions because it fell so high from the sky and jj said it was a baby. The mother screamed in annger abover the clouds because her baby vanashed.
🤯Wow! Very cool.
I really wanted Chis O’dowds character to suggest turning the excelorator off and on again
Same lol Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame, set at gas mark 'egg on your face.
I love things like this that explore multiple realities, and all well explained and detailed. Thanks
That final shot of the giant Clover monster always freaks me out
Imagine a monster 10,000 feet tall and see how tough the baby is that is fricken nightmare fuel
Imagine a blue whale...on land. How is that nightmare fuel?
Your review/summation made this more fun and coherent than the paraodox movie.
It's both fascinating and confounding the Frankenstein monster making of this trilogy, that for all the 1st movies easter eggs and thought, the rest came on as bolt on, change some background to make it a part of a franchise instead of thought out originals. Lane worked out as a good film bolted on, but paradox had some issues that even new materials didn't quite ease.
This was a great video. As confusing at Cloverfield Paradox was, you did a great job and breaking it down and making it make sense. Well done!
Amazing content!!. you just made this movie so much better. The first time I watched it I remember thinking it was decent, but I felt like there was something missing, also I noticed the monster was much bigger and at the time I didn't realize how until just now. Thanks and keep up the good work !!
8:55 "...monsters, Demons, and beasts from the sea..." Oh, my!
Thanks for going over this movie. I was super confused how it tied into the others when it came out.
You made this movie sound smarter than it actually was. Really dope video!
This has been the best breakdown & explanation of the trilogy I’ve seen
Love the breakdown.
Worth mention, the post/ending credit audio (caption assisted) indicates tha Clover did survive the military bombardment…
What if the creatures in Cloverfield are some of the same creatures that inhabit “The Mist”?
😱
Just because the Cloverfield monster have a distinct appearance similar of that monsters from the "The Mist" doesn't mean they came from the same dimension. If some of this monsters did appeared in Earth 3, there should be news about some mysterious fog that have enveloped towns and cities that continuously filling everywhere. Multiverse and dimensions remember? There are all sorts of insanity lies beyond human understanding.
How about The Tommorow War?
@@robando2922 yea i was gonna say the tommorrow war had super similar alien types and there was also time manipulation within that movie aswell.
@@rogueascendant6611 I mean we only know of just 4 timelines in this lore. Luna just brings up a cool what if / would be cool if thing lol
I mean only timeline did get invaded by ayy lmaos instead
THANK YOU 😊 This makes me enjoy these movies so much more now
Thank you for your clarification!! Even after watching countless videos on Cloverfield this one explains it perfectly.
Thanks for reminding me that I needed to rewatch this
This is the multiverse im here for! Lore rumor myth and science combine to create an action horror, suspense thriller, and sci fi thriller.
A great amount of confirmed canon without an overwhelming amount of OG info!
Great vid for summing it all up for us!
Absolutely! Very unique trilogy. Can't wait for more.
You made a series of quite dull films really interesting, thank you.
This was an awesome breakdown!! Thank you!
Just imagine if the worldwide turmoil in the movie became a reality, I hope I'd not be there.
honestly giving them energy wont save their world since they already at war lol unless people their dont hold grudges and are smart and finally achieve utopia doubt
Have y'all done one on Battleship yet? Just rewatched it yesterday and was wondering.. keep up the good works!!!
I was absolutely convinced Overlord would be connected when it came out
It all makes sense now, thank you as usual
Nice! I had a clue but all the current multiverse stuff in pop culture made it even easier to understand.
This movie got alot of flack when it came out but its honestly such a good watch. I really hope the universe gets revisited someday.
@Brian Babin you're fun at parties
@@phantomxpotato3184 Ignore it. Some people this days don't know old movies with qualities.
They want more screwed CGI and plots & dialogues written by amateur writers. Like that She-Hulk abomination. Marvel is heading to dark times.
@@rogueascendant6611 don't count out Marvel just yet, Secret Wars is going to be used to reboot the MCU and head in a different direction, mostly mutants and such.
@@jasonstrickland9245 It looks good honestly
@@phantomxpotato3184 only losers who peaked in high school and now work minimum wage jobs care about being “fun at parties”
The more I learn about these movies the more I like them and want to rewatch them.
Same here! Big fan.
Rewatched the most recent addition again recently, pretty good watch imo
Great video! This seriously clears up a lot of things for me. How it's all connected and the different consequences from their actions.
You made it so clear and putting the other films in its order. Adding more graphs would have help my mind but over great video cant wait to see other series films out together like this 🎉
The paradox no one ever explains is how anything that just appears in a space instantly would fuse with the 30 octillion particles per sq foot in just the air on earth. This drops 1/3 in space, drops more outside the solar system, but an abundance of particles still exist in intergalactic space. The energy introduced will make these particles unstable to say the least and not be able to maintain the structure of whatever object goes into this space.
cloverfield one of my fav videos u have made
Babe wake up there's another Film Comics Explained video!
I'd never recognized it before, due to the makeup and prosthetics used in the other role, but the actor who plays Volkov, Aksel Hennie, also played Tydeus in the 2014 Hercules movie with the Rock.
so good! as usual you have clearly explained a movie that i had no fahkin clue to the story line!
This video made me watch the 2nd and 3rd cloverfield and I loved both then I came and finished watching your explanation of the stories very well done. Thanks for the entertainment
So well made 🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥
dude your channel is awesome , im dyslexic so theres no way i could ever absorb the amount of info on so many different subjects,, you clearly have over the years , its so impressive keep up the good work man.
Awesome work on the video!
Im also a fan of the Cloverfield Franchise,, so see this peak my interest
Lovely video!! Cloverfield Paradox is really interesting in how it explains the multiverse and I'm looking forward to see more of cloverfield soon!!
I would like you to cover Shin Ultraman sometime if possible. I think it's a pretty interesting enough movie for you to cover next time!!
Fuck yeah been waiting for a full lore intake of this
How weird, I just watched this today and looked up to see if FilmComicsExplained had done a video on it
Can you imagine how difficult it would be to take out the monster in real life?
This was excellent. Thank you
That's a fantastic explanation
I love this film and universe. Cant wait for more.
I really love the Cloverfield movies , they are so mysterious and cool , really glad u explained this becoz I was so confused watching this movie , I rlly hope we get another Cloverfield movie , they can do so much with it
Finally i understand the movie much better,thank you
Good video I enjoyed it
Oyelowo's name is pronounced "Oh-yell-OH-woe' and his is a fantastic actor. He gives an amazing performance as Martin Luther King in "Selma". He is Nigerian, born in Britain, and great at accents, as he is as the American Kiel in this film. He is also, strangely enough, a REAL Nigerian Prince, so if you find yourself near David O, ask where your 6 million dollars are (no, really, this IS true and he's great at putting up with it.) But must of all he is know to Star Wars fans as the commandind voice performances as ISB Agent/ turned Rebel, Agent Alexsandr Kallus. Just a great actor, always.
BEST FILM EXPLAIN EVER thank you
This is great interesting video great narration
This movie literally was Final Destination meeting the Chtulu Mythos and Fringe.
The hardest thing to believe about all this, is that the government would ever have a system for free energy.
Great video
Cool you did a full update
This explanation actually makes it a really entertaining movie
Great explanation of the movie connection to the rest 💯👌🏼
They need to make another cloverfield I remember being in school and watching it for the 1st time. Awesome film probably watched it almost a dozen times.
In this sequel John Goodman keeps a dinger captive in his bunker
There's a lil Ozzie slang for ya Niyat 😂
lol
@@filmcomicsexplained all jokes aside i thought this movie was a slog to get through, but 10 Cloverfield was John Goodmans best work of his career, after King Ralph
Never knew that all the movies were set in different universes, explains alot, thank you
I never realized all this thought was put into these films. Liked the 1st one back when it came out but others not so much.
Gonna have to rewatch em now with the new perspective
Wow! I like movies, but struggle to understand how they fitted with each other. Thanks for the explanation.
Do you think they will do another Cloverfield movie within this multiverse? I would really want to see more of this...and these alternative earths.
That's awesome with a multiverse of Cloverfield.
