Nonureva Really Surprised!

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

ulyssescpt-1 **SPOILER** I understand that there is symbolism in the movie. I understand the guy and girl may be dead or purgatory. How they act in the vault, decides they're fate. I would even venture a guess and say, the whole movie was about him. And she was just one more item/part/thing in the vault for him to interact with, in deciding his fate. In fact, I don't know if every version of this movie has her subtitles in German instead of in English. So I got my tablet and translated her subtitles from German to English. No body who posted a message referred to her limited back story. But she was going to a wedding. She doesn't know why she's there. Doesn't know the guy. She's religious. She says she always does what shes told. She asks if G*d wants her dead. Asks why is she being punished. She refers to her mother being disappointed. While the guy's sounds like a jerk, and with no faith. So she has no reason to be there unless she's dead, and there to help him reform.The part that puzzles me is the items in the vault. He has a dead rat, a hidden key, and a locked locker with a welding torch and tools. Symbolically speaking, the key comes from the light. He has a blue collar speech pattern and has a locker and tools.She is in the dark, inside a coffin. The lamp in her vault is very decorative. Her lights can be turned on and off, but his can't. Lamps light their way?The third vault has a grave with a fallen chandelier, and a red/orange grave stone. I don't understand the need for the items in this vault. Maybe they symbolize their ending. It's time to decide their fate? Why a red/orange grave stone? Why a fallen chandelier? Does the glass beads and light represent heaven, and the worm in the grave represent death?Why did she have sex? Was she a virgin and her wedding was hers? Did she want him out of his funk? He broke down and started to cry. She tried to talk him out of it. Then slapped him. Then kicked him. She finally pulled him out of the grave. He was thirsty, so she gave him her tears. He had no will to continue, so she had sex with him so he'd feel alive again?My question is, are the items in each vault symbols that tell a story, why he was there? The key for the locker came from the overhead light fixture... why? Does light symbolize hope for him? If the items have a purpose, does that mean he should have checked each vault for items to use for his escape. Except for the items in his vault, the coffin, and the girl, he ignored every item. The items in his vault are industrial. The items in her vault were somber. The older artistic coffin. The older artistic lamp. And the over the head lamp with a cord, if you want light or not. The third vault had the grave and the chandelier. My biggest question is... what was in the 4rth vault. Is there a 4rth vault? If the vaults are square rooms. And he travels to the other vaults that share walls with his vault. And when the door opens and they see outside, the vault door opens wide and stops on a side wall. Doesn't that hint to a 4rth vault?Personally, once the key falls from the lamp, which he uses to get tools. I would have used my imagination and taken a better look at the other items.I love the movie but... My biggest criticism of the movie is that the guy ignores allot, and that's why people may rate this movie low. It's like a mystery story, the author shows every clue to the reader/viewer, so they can better understand why the villain is the villain. It's also entertaining for the audience to try to solve the mystery before the story detective figure it out. In this movie, it feels like there is so much clues/symbolism that are ignored or unexplained. In a good story, the main character is like the mouse on a computer screen. The audience/reader can't interact with the story/characters/clues, but we get to explore them when the main character interacts with his environment. The guy in this story just ignores allot.

mark_sparkes This film was not as terrible as some reviews make out and is well worth 80 odd minutes of your life. It was never going to win an Oscar but then neither are thousands of other far less worthy pieces. You know by now the plot from other reviews so you also know it's a story of symbolism. I love mysteries and that's what keeps you watching. The quality (acting, script, filming making) is strong enough to keep you wanting to know what's the out come. I've seen enough films that provide NO ending at all or the very obvious one where the character just dies as he would in reality. That would have left me annoyed!!. Just a couple points I would have liked a clearer explanation of though. I know it had a meaning, but the not looking and backing up to the doors to open them???? And another point no one mentioned. How did he get on top of the cabinet and WHY? Thinking about it, one area for improvement would have been a tighter, more realistic script. Some points are just not right and would not have taken much to put right. For example he's far more likely to have tipped over the cupboard than go to the bother of climbing on top, and would he really have started drinking urine after just a day. I know I wouldn't. Anyway, a little improvement and an OK movie.

tanweth Okay .. so we got a variation on the Cube .. guy in a room .. breaks into another room .. now we have guy and girl .. on the brink of dehydration and death .. vault door opens .. and .."Toto. We're not in Kansas anymore." Obviously they are no longer on earth .. but these two have ear to ear grins like they just reached paradise.The end.Senseless movie. Why 2 stars? Only because the cinematography and acting was good. (Although the new scene they enter into at the end looks like a back lot paint job with animation added.) I think the only reason for this movie was for a tax write off. It should never have been shown .. but then perhaps the tax code requires that.

ulricjoh This movie starts out like the "Cube" with one person waking up in a bank vault with steel walls all around him. No idea how he got there or why.Next to him is a dead rat in various stages of decomposition.The usual screams for help; threats against those for putting him in there; etc.He finds a key in a light, which opens a cupboard. Inside is an oxy-acetylene blow torch and some goggles and a hammer and chisel. Neither are effective against the door (esp. when the torch was not used with a blue-flame to cut steel).He gives up on the door and tries to get through a wall. Eventually he gets through the wall and finds an almost similar setup within, except for a coffin, containing an African woman. They both try to get out of the room and as they try to get out of the 2nd room, the door behind them opens.Inside is a hole in the floor, much like a grave site. They are close to death and there is not much more opportunity left to escape. As they are digging through the grave to escape, the door behind them opens and it reveals "a forest like expanse, complete with waterfall; birds and animals."* * *The End * * *At this point, I couldn't help but wonder what was the story about: - who put them there; - why were they subjected to mental and physical torture to try escape - how were they going to live in this forest areaIt didn't satisfy. Hence, the 1-star rating.
