I liked the arm and worms bits, but it's nowhere near EH levels of messed up and you never really get the relentless of the desperation in Sunshine (in the first 2/3 anyway).

A decade ago Netflix started the streaming section of its service and two years later, in 2010, kicked off that streamer’s international rollout. The big promise of the service was access to a vast on-demand film library and at the time it was true. In 2010 in the U.S., Netflix had a library of 6755 […]
Some interesting info as Netflix streaming service enters its eighth year.
In 2010: 6755 Movies, 530 TV Shows
In 2018: 4010 Movies, 1569 TV Shows
The figures suggest how Netflix's success has been forged but also how quickly the concept of a on-stop shop for movies that would threaten cinema has died.

Cinema is in a weird place because it looks like ticket sales are down almost every year and yet revenue records get broken all the time. But it’s the huge blockbusters and there are major flops each and every year that cost a fortune. But I don’t think cinema is going anywhere and I think the likes of Cloverfield and Bright have been as damaging for Netflix as they have been a positive - there is a sense that straight to Netflix is the new straight to video. It’s where films not worthy of the cinema go.

"Straight to Netflix" is less of an enticing prospect than "Netflix Exclusive".

Shame. I liked Moon and Source Code, but didn't see Warcraft.
Mute is, as you say, getting savaged.
The Moon director has delivered a catastrophically misjudged riff on Blade Runner with an astoundingly dull performance from Alexander Skarsgård
However, Warcraft was panned by critics and people stayed away, but if I already have Netflix, I'd take a punt on a film anyway.
Bright and Cloverfield Paradox were both flayed by the press, yet I saw both of them. The former was good fun and the latter was watchable.

I liked the first two Cloverfield films and thought this was worth a punt.
It wasn't, really, but I was pretty curious.
In the "Sunshine" commentary, Danny Boyle acknowledges the giants that went before him in cinematic sci-fi like Alien and 2001 and was trying to respectfully avoid copying them.
CF Paradox just feels really derivative.
As I was saying, though, I probably wouldn't have seen it at all if it was only a cinema release.
