Is it more than just a movie? Is it a collection of disconnected movie-length episodes? So far we have 3 movies with the name Cloverfield in their titles.
I did watch Cloverfield Paradox. It helped to be sipping rum with a Coke chaser. I entertained myself by laughing at this movie. And this movie is not a comedy.
While the alternate dimension/time paradox situation may have potential, the screen play does not exploit it well. A saving grace, perhaps is that much of the cgi was, strictly on the visual level, pretty good if not cutting edge. Call it journeyman level graphics by today's standards.
Sci-fi for the hopelessly stupid? Insert your metaphor in a single short sentence.

...the first was a suspenseful film about some people trying to escape some monster destroying their city, if I recall, shot with a handheld camera.

The second was a creepy John Goodman in a bomb shelter with a few kids and then turned sci-fi at the end.

They didn't seem connected except by the name. I enjoyed both for what they were.

Now the new Paradox just seems to be trying to capitalize on the name.
