This past Sunday fans were surprised to learn that not only had Netflix picked up the third Cloverfield movie, but that it was available to watch immediately following the Super Bowl.
The movie, Cloverfield Paradox, has been at the center of controversy as its Rotten Tomatoes score is really low and online chatter has been buzzing.

But as they approach their target, they begin to realize there is more going on in this Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. They find themselves fighting against supernatural forces, part of a Nazi experiment.
