The Cloverfield Paradox is the third film to be released under the Cloverfield banner. Each movie works as a stand-alone piece with minor and major connections between the universes that tie into the overall thematic aesthetic of the franchise: these are real people stuck in supernatural situations.
Paradox is no different.
The Cloverfield Paradox Ending Explained
Opening with the crew of The Cloverfield Station being transported into an alternate dimension we begin to see that things are amiss. Initially believing that Earth has disappeared, they soon discover that is they who have been moved, in more ways that one.
A Multiverse Of Monsters
Before explaining the films ending I need to first confirm that the movie subscribes to the Multiverse theorem and explain what that is. The Multiverse theory assumes that there exists an infinite amount of parallel realities and universes. Some extremely similar to ours with only the most minute detail changed and others that are completely otherworldly.
Imagine the night your grandfather met your grandmother. If he had never visited that bar then they never may have met meaning that you would never have existed and you would have never got to watch this video explaining why you never existed. In avoiding the bar, probably because he got kicked out of it for starting a fight with the barmaid the week earlier, he would’ve created an alternative reality in which you were never born. This theory is supported by the fact that the universe requires balance, in creating an action we also create an equal and opposite reaction and thus the other choice is fulfilled on another dimension.

We’ve seen this plot device used in comics for decades and it is often put in place when a writer wants to discover political alternatives or discuss alternative versions of characters without putting too firm a stance on it and ruining canon.
Earth A and Earth B
In order to fully explain the film’s end we I will be calling our Earth: Earth A and the alternative, Earth B.
In our world (A), the Cloverfield Station runs its experiment and is transported to another dimension (B) whose Station is destroyed by Schmidt’s (Daniel Brühl) sabotage. There are other, smaller differences, most pointedly the absence of Tam (Zhang Ziyi) and Ava (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) from Universe B’s mission, the latter due to her children still being alive. Things aren’t as simple as a one-to-one transportation, however. Various elements of the new dimension bleed over into Universe A’s station such as Schmidt’s covert orders from his native Germany, Mundy’s severed arm, Ava’s messages to the ship and many more. These slowly reveal that the new dimension may be infecting the astronauts’ home.
The Cloverfield Paradox
This is the Cloverfield Paradox itself, outlined by Professor Mark Stambler in an interview seen on the station before the experiment. Parts of his theory line up with real-world concerns over the likes of the Hadron Collider at Cern, suggesting that the creation of the new energy will force a rift in the fabric of space-time. His true fears, however, go full sci-fi: when we see that alternate dimensions clash with our own. In this reaction deposits of all sorts of monstrous horrors begin happening in our world.

Monsters Everywhere
Evidently, Mark Stambler’s predictions have proven more accurate than anybody dared imagine, with monsters coming over from other dimensions and rampaging across the entire planet. This is teased throughout the film with Michael’s B-plot, seeing him slowly uncover the threat and saving a little girl while trying to get word through to both her parents and Ava. Upon first viewing, this is just a flipside compliment (an alternate dimension, if you will) of Ava’s arc, with her husband likewise gaining catharsis through the horror, but in retrospect, it’s full of hints that something horrific has happened on Earth. The true extent is hidden as part of the final twist, but it’s safe to assume we’re dealing with a global catastrophe. The movie climaxes with The Cloverfield monster attacking our remaining survivors and showcasing just how horrific of a time Earth A is in for.
