The Cloverfield Paradox: 20 WTF Moments

8. The Fallout Shelter

One of Michael's few intriguing moments throughout the film sees him rescuing a young girl named Molly (played, amusingly, by an actress named Clover Nee), who is seemingly the sole survivor of a hospital destroyed by one of the monsters.

The pair drive to one of Michael's pals' shelters, which is very deliberately intended to resemble the shelter occupied by Howard in 10 Cloverfield Lane.

There's no indication it's actually the same place, sadly, which could've been a neat tie-in to the previous film. Instead, it feels like another Prometheus-like case of the filmmakers refusing to fully commit to these stories being intimately linked together, but wanting to constantly remind you of them regardless.
