This was basically what I thought, I was surprised someone would make a film with such a similarly bad premise. The Happening was stupid, but it was at least maybe sort of plausible that nature could induce something like that. But once you figure out it’s “spirits” or whatever I was done. I think we made it about 30 minutes before bailing and switching to Narcos Mexico. Much better choice.Incredibly stupid movie.
Basically a rip off of The Happening, which wasn’t all that good either. I wish I had a blindfold so I didn’t have to watch it.

I guess i would ask when you sat down to watch Bird Box...what did you expect? I expected a stupid fun little movie that the suspension of disbelief would be a big player and it was exactly that. Did you expect The Shining or Children of Men?Lol, you can say that about almost anything. And what are you considering "ridiculous standards"?

#1 opinions are opinions. What you find good entertainment I may not, and vice versa. Neither of us is wrong because ultimately it’s your time to spend and if you like it that’s great.Narcos Mexico is very good but Bird Box was entertaining also if you don't have ridiculous standards and take it for what it is.

#2 we watched because so many people told us how good it was. It was not sold as a silly movie like sharknado or something. I didn’t find the premise interesting, the same way I didn’t think The Happening was good either.
Nobody mentioned the happening to me. The similarities were obvious. In fact, I didn’t know anything about Birdbox. We had friends over and they mentioned it, and since we had Netflix we gave it a shot.different strokes for different folks. how was it sold to you? just that it was a great movie or that it was like the happening? because it was sold to me as something different and I think going in with different expectations greatly influences what you get out of it.
