Box: Metaphor

I always appreciate a filmmaker's effort to innovate, even if the concept isn't entirely new-as seen in CUBE and other movies where characters are confined in a space. The design and texture of the box in this film are interesting, although the flaws in the visual effects become apparent when viewed from a distance, especially the drones. The lead actress and one of the supporting actors delivered commendable performances. However, the film suffers from overly dark lighting, which detracts from the overall experience.

Although this might be a low or no-budget indie Australian film, budget constraints should not justify poor filmmaking. Unfortunately, the acting, with a few exceptions, was subpar, the story lacked engagement, and the dialogue was weak. The film felt aimless, lacking a clear narrative arc or purpose. I struggled to grasp what the film was trying to convey about a future dystopian society or the significance of the beach setting; a desert might have been more appropriate for the prisoners.

Overall, there isn't much that stands out positively in this film. The writer and director could benefit from studying storytelling techniques to develop a more compelling narrative and journey. I'm sorry to say that I did not enjoy this film especially when you have someone read the intro out loud - that was a cringeworthy moment and a strong indicator to the films impending doom.

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..

A film set in the distant future, telling the experiences of a woman trapped in a metal box. From beginning to end, you will try to understand what happened and why (and fail) for 1 hour and 18 minutes. Although the film is shown in the science fiction category, it is actually a cheap horror film. It cannot be said that there is a plot in the film. The entire film deals with the torturous time of the lead character. Although it tries to make it interesting by adding a few absurd scenes, it is at best boring. By the way, many inconsistent and meaningless events have been added to the film, I guess to give it a cult film atmosphere.

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.

This is not a movie.

It is the expression of the arrogance of a director who has no ability to direct a film but who thinks he is capable of creating deep metaphors.

Mediocre script, absolutely implausible situations, the film has a passion for torture and suffering, without direction, without objective, without content.

Honestly, don't waste your time watching this, it's just not worth it.

I absolutely don't understand how anyone has the courage to pay to produce this type of mediocre narrative.

And then, distribute!!

It would be offensive to call this thing a "movie." It's a scar, a stain on the art of cinematography, a stupid and purposeless mistake.

I regret that IMDb does not allow giving zero stars or negative stars.

One star is too high a value for this deception.
