Bird Box Barcelona is limp. It's built around a father/daughter relationship and a conflicted protagonist with unclear rules, repetitive beats, and weak payoff. The internal struggle isn't explored and doesn't evolve, so the arc is unearned. Everything else is either a rehash or a trope. Attempts at emotions are cliche and forced. The plot is generic, thin, and predictable, failing to consistently intertwine with character drama. Plus, the ending interrupts resolution for sequel bait. Consequently, the film is dull. The acting shows some chemistry, distress, and vulnerability, but in mild doses. Ultimately, Bird Box Barcelona has too little development to be interesting.
Technically, Bird Box Barcelona is toothless. Its imagery uses craft with bland color and slight meaning. The editing offers inserts, cross cuts, and jump cuts, yet rushes drama and stretches pacing. Its music adds fitting choir influences but is wholly forgettable. The production design creates a generic and basic post-apocalyptic world. Its cast wastes up-and-comers in flat roles. The effects are cheap and unconvincing. Its violence is sanitized. Only the sound design is truly good with split cuts, echoes, voices, emphasis, distortions, smash cuts, silence, layers, and action. Overall, Bird Box Barcelona isn't outright bad, but doesn't make a memorable connection.
