Movie was absolute trash! The movie was written as a full stand alone, unrelated movie called God Particle. Scientists trying to create free energy accidentally create an alternate universe and lose site of the earth. The US is at war with Russia, and a Russian spacecraft makes contact with the US one.
The films rights were bought by the JJ Abrams crew and they added like 2 or 3 scenes that connects the story to the Cloverfield universe.
This is stupid and insulting, but I'm glad this wasn't released in theaters. If I had paid money to watch in the theater, I promise I would have asked for my money back.
