The Cloverfield Paradox is released worldwide on Netflix immediately after the Super Bowl LII commercial, bypassing traditional theatrical release.
The Shepard Station, a particle accelerator aboard a space station orbiting Earth, is launched to solve Earth's energy crisis by creating an unlimited energy source.
The crew activates the particle accelerator to generate a new energy source using the shepard particle to address Earth's severe energy crisis.
During the experiment, the particle accelerator malfunctions causing a mysterious ball of energy that engulfs the station; the crew initiates an emergency shutdown.
Following the malfunction, the crew experiences hallucinations, reality distortions, and some crew members become paralyzed due to the unknown energy effects.
Shepard Station loses all contact with Earth; the crew attempts to restore communication while facing strange anomalies on board.
A red cable suddenly appears on the station, leading the crew to discover that they might have crossed into an alternate dimension or reality.
Monstrous creatures begin to appear on the station, killing several crew members as the space-time continuum unravels aboard Shepard.
It is revealed that the particle accelerator experiment tore open a dimensional rift causing a paradox and linking to other universes where creatures like the Clover.
The crew attempts to prevent the explosion of the station caused by the accelerator's instability, struggling to stabilize the particle accelerator.
Some survivors manage to return to Earth orbit, but reality appears fragmented and altered, implying they entered alternate dimensions or timelines.
