Box: Metaphor

In a dystopian future, crime has skyrocketed. Criminals are sentenced to die or imprisoned in a metal box. A woman has been sentenced to 7 years although she claims to be innocent. Each box is given supplies through the mercy of citizens although mostly, it shows the cruelty of humanity.

This is an Australian indie. Initially, it reminds me of Cube although we are not moving outside of this box. We're kind of stuck here. That's the main drawback. There are other movies like this. I don't mind an out-of-the-box concept, but they need to get out of this box. My suggestion is a flashback to show how she was convicted. This is an undercooked idea movie. It just needs more time in the oven.

I actually liked the concept that you will be a prisoner inside a box.. I was very excited to watch the film since the trailer si super good..

But the plot is a joke.. Imagine watching a protagonist to suffer the whole time of the movie.. Is this really a joke?. I was expecting for the protagonist to struggle and find her way out of the box.. But this is pure torture.. Who would want this kind of movie?. Maybe around1% of the planet's population who thinks weird just like you people did..

Stop making this kind of lame movie.. You will just waste, money and effort.. The acting is okay for me, but the plot was very boring.. Maybe you can re-do the movie into, making the protagonist struggle, think critically, and find her way out but put a lot of obstacles or hurdles that will make the viewers always on the edge's seat..

They might as well just outright kill you then to put you in a metal box near the ocean and make survive by the "mercies" of the so called citizens of this dystopian nightmare. I found this to be just as the globalists these days are attempting to do by giving everyone a forced digital ID ( put you in a box) then force you to follow their rules to be fed or not fed or travel and not travel (A prisoner ) Same idea here, quite terrifying to say the least. One thing they totally missed is where do these prisoners go to the bathroom? I mean like where? There is no indication of any way they can go and the cube is solid, and all the prisoners never have a poopy floor? Kind of odd. Won't see this one again it was totally hopeless and just a trip into a hell hole and a nightmare. I sure hope our world doesn't end up like this.

A woman is trapped in a box as part of some future dystopian prison rehabilitation system.

It's more of a horror torture movie. Not really sci fi, anything happening in the future these days is called sci fi.

It's low budget more of a performance from one actress with a few other having 1-2 minute pop ins.

The box is poorly lit adding to the dark depressive feel of the movie. There are some quite disturbing scenes, more implied gore because it's all happening in the dark.

There is maybe some Christian symbology or something going on that I did not understand with Ave Maria playing, or maybe they just choose the song because it's free use who could tell.

A very dull film that thinks it has much more to say than it actually does.

You learn more from the plot synopsis on this site than you do from watching this film. It may have been a good idea in concept but this movie conveys nothing of note to the viewer.

Nothing is explained and there is no set up, pay off or character arc at all within the movie. The motives of any of the people in this film are not explained or developed.

If you want a scathing attack on modern society go watch The Platform or Infinity Pool instead.

The special effects are like something from a Neil Breen film and the poor lighting offers little to show any acting from the main character.
