Imagine having to spell out for a dystopian sci fi thriller that the box is a metaphor. Did they anticipate the intellectual limits of their small potential audience very well or were they simply too dumb to even flirt with mediocre filmmaking.
I honestly didn't waste more than 3 minutes on this. The very opening intro was so awful both being writing in a slow very clear font while also being read aloud was strange except perhaps in a video game intro.
The very first premise is how this torture and governments in general are all bad at things and how at any other time this would be considered inhumane.
Illustrating a radical naivety to how very different periods of time and circumstances create very different societal perceptions of what is right and wrong what is necessary.
Worse after deciding i definitely couldn't watch this and still have hair left on my head i dared to proceed on past the 2 minute mark approaching the 3 minute mark. Where in the next opening scene much of the previous statements were reiterated nearly word for word by the little lady on the screen in the box now explaining the same tedious filler to the character.
Its like they were going for some sort of worst film of the year award on purpose.
Perhaps everyone involved learned all their filmmaking and writing skills from a tik tok video and have never seen anything that wasn't in the bargin bin at a closed down truck stop.
I suppose its possible it became intelligent purposeful and amazing after this point as if by magic or madness.
My magic 8 ball however indicated all signs point to NO.
I watched less of the film than the trailers run time.
I still regret that mistake so much i had to login to imdb to toss it a one star and a review both in hopes of saving others from even wasting a second on this.
It seemed like civic responsibility somehow.
