ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Arshia Lak Such a rating for such a movie is just disappointing... Nowadays people just want to watch a simple movie, with simple characters, and a simple and sometimes hallow meaning; if you're those kind of people do not watch this movie. I agree this movie is a complicated, one with a deeply implied meaning, that's why some people should just back off and stop writing absurd reviews. What's so complicated about this movie (and many other movies like this) is the metaphor they use, what makes this movie even more complicated is that you should understand the metaphor yourself. For instance the best review written so far by sehnsuchtununtouchable, he (or she) believed that metaphor was the victims of terrorist actions or accidents; he may be right... There's no definite answer and moreover there's no definite choices. The metaphor may be life in society without freedom, it may be fighting for freedom, it may be what sehnsuchfununtouchable, it may be just a metaphor of life itself, or etc...In my belief this movie symbolizes life; you struggle as hard as you can to achieve success (in this case escaping) you find new doors and ways to continue your life and meanwhile you find love but in the end everything just ends at one point: death. In few of the best scenes of this movie the two characters just look at the opposite side of the door and door just opens by itself, this clearly is a metaphor for life problems, the more ypu care about em they will become worse, you should try to solve them but if you see that cannot do anything just leave they'll probably be solved.This metaphor is the most special thing about the movie, and to make things even better it is accompanied by simple audio and video features which increases suspense without loosing the pace of the story. This movie is one of the of the most underrated movies ever made...
eato_burrito ...unless you're the kind of person who just wants to sit there and be entertained without ever having to use your brain. there is more to this movie than what you see on the screen. there is an entire component that takes place inside your own head. this film is rich with metaphor, and i'm kind of saddened to see such superficial reviews. "i lost 90 minutes of my life", like those people would have done something so much more interesting or meaningful with those 90 minutes... but whatever. i suggest you watch this film. don't expect Saw. don't expect Cube. DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING. read between the lines and you can learn a lot about yourself in those 90 minutes.
arjayac This movie wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't 80 minutes long.Long story short, this is kind of an experiment of two people, a man and a woman, from two different worlds. A french man and an African woman. They get trapped in separate vaults only to find their way to each other sometime in the film. They struggled to survive and they tried their best to escape but to no avail. Towards the end, their libido caused them to make love and Voila! The iron door unlocks itself to paradise.What's the experiment? Let's call it Project Adam & Eve.What do they want them to do? Reproduce.And that's about it. That's all there is to this film. It shouldn't have been longer than 10 minutes in my opinion.
sargetman I believe this film is for those people that understand it takes time and hard work to establish moral fiber. !!!SPOILER!!! Classification: Thriller/Sci-FiShort Answer: Very little CG, interesting plot, not for those people that need to be entertained every second of the film with 'Flashy Action'. This one makes you think...Long Answer: If the Iron Doors would have opened without any effort, how long do you think the guy would have lasted in the wild? He sure wouldn't have gone after the female because it would have been too much work to get through the wall. He had to learn to be resourceful after giving up hope on several occasions. Early in the film he proved he was spineless so he needed to break out of his shell of luxury, and re-mold himself into a stronger person mentally. The everyday human and the survival human are two different beasts entirely, this was a well displayed principle. Once he figured out that there was another way, he worked for it and did what he had to do to survive. At one point he made a comment about Aliens, just as a joke to himself in his monologue; this was a great example of foreshadowing... Interesting take on terraforming with the Adam and Eve aspect. The main thing that made the two of them unite was the fact that they both understood one common goal, survival. The language barrier was necessary to build a bond between them. This film takes the essence of their human nature, shreds it, and proves they are selfish animals with moral boundaries when presented with life threatening situations. They did what was right, even when their backs were against the wall especially when all hope seemed to be lost. The doors were to prove that in order to succeed, sometimes you need to have blind faith, hence no looking at the doors. I could go on for a while about this, interesting film. Think about it afterward for a while before posting a poor review... This one is art. This is an interesting theory. Thank you Stephen Manuel!
