Shadow in the Cloud

TOTALLY NINJA HORROR WAR & SUPER COMIC MOVIE IL LOVE IT FOR FUN FIRST DEGREE

[spoiler]Mom's[/spoiler] are awesome.

This might be one of the most entertaining things I’ve ever seen. Simply stupendously sensational stuff.

'Shadow in the Cloud' is bonkers, I had a blast watching it. There were no rejected ideas in the writers room, that’s for certain! I'm glad to see that this hasn't been slaughtered via reviews; at least not to the level I was expecting. It’s utter madness and I’m fully here for it, the amount of craziness they fit into less than 80 or so minutes is nuts; the special effects - aside from the iffy end fight, granted - is neat for a production of this standing.

Chloë Grace Moretz legit gives a great performance, easily her best that I’ve currently seen. The rest of the cast fit their roles well, with the radio comms made great use of for large portions for the cast behind Moretz. I thought it’d get boring being so talky at the beginning, but it never did.

Immense rewatchability to this, I’ll no doubt be revisiting it. It makes absolutely zero sense, like whatsoever, but it might be the best 'switch off your brain' flick out there. No joke. It's unashamedly stupid and I kinda love it; you definitely can't deny its originality either!

I honestly wasn’t expecting much nor did I know anything about it, but I absolutely loved it.

From early in the film, I found it gripping and tense which kept me glued to the screen.

There’s a lot going on in this film and I see some have called it a mess, however I thought it all worked really well together. Just don’t read too much in to it and enjoy it for what it is.

I especially loved watching the old footage during the credits at the end. As a family we watch a lot of WW history and real footage, but I’d never seen any of that before. Without being sexist or trying to be a feminist etc, it’s rare to see footage of woman contributing during the WW’s and it was amazing to see.

Excellent film, definitely worth watching

cant understand the critics, i enjoyed it really much. tense, thrilling and great scenes + some fantastic element and a strong right fist!

So I settled in to watch a nice action, drama, war movie. Only it turned out to also be a bit of a horror movie as well. The thing is, it is also one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time.

Having said that - I really did like this movie and I really did find it genuinely funny (in a not meant to be sort of way). Chloë Grace Moretz kicks some serious ass in this movie and easily defies high winds and gravity.

OK, so you might have to check your brain at the door - but once you do, sit back relax and enjoy a great ride.

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

This was a lot of fun with a solid Chloe Moretz performance. I also enjoyed the John Carpenter 80’s like musical score.
Reviewers on here can be more boring than critics lol. The excuse for the monster/gremlin is in the beginning. Can’t expect anymore of an explanation than fighter pilot planes attracting gremlins.
Which is weird but that is the explanation. People act like it’s never explained why there’s a monster.

Mindless thrill ride. Just go for it.

I do agree with some people that there seem to be a part of the plot that was lost during production, but I thought it was entertaining and a unique twist.

If you ignore the political leanings, this is a pretty enjoyable nailbiter. I know it is a "gremlin" movie, but I thought had that element not been in there, it still could have been fun. The sections where she is literally hanging outside a moving bomber (in the trailer so not a spoiler) are so terror inducing that I just had a ball with it.
