Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

villegasben Very predictable. Nothing new. Stupid characters. Netflix need to take care about productions. Like Adam Sandler going down

Darkdaxter Like most reviwers, I was thoroughly confused by the end of the film and decided to watch it again. I still found it entertaining, and kept looking for clues and symbolism and have come up with a hypothesis.First answering some of their questions. In the break room scene before lockdown, they are heating coffee up not making it. Darby could not just stand up because he had no leverage; he kicks the chair away and stands after they remove the duct tape. He was also unconscious from his head wound till they found him. Going by the information on the screen windows, all of these children are "wards of the state," in short orphans. Some have deceased parents or no parents at all. Jenny's virtual apartment is in Los Angeles, so it's reasonable to assume the bunker is there too (also going by the pop-ups). Or at the very least it's in the United States. They could not leave past the burning man (who is actually the guy checking the "elevator camera") because the door was still locked. Lastly, in Darby's death scene, the children are holding him down not hitting him. It still looks like they aren't using any force at all, but it's at least somewhat more plausible.On to my hypothesis. I think the major problem in the writing/directing is that everything is rushed. There is no distinct time marker between various days, but I suspect they spent a decent amount of time underground (probably a couple weeks to a month). They tried to squeeze too much into the movie and ended up with an inferior product. For example, I feel that Tiggs is a reference to Antigone, or at least her name alone ("worthy of one's parents"), and Darby of John Nelson Darby one of the fathers of dispensationalism (the idea that God tests us differently throughout each period).The opening scene makes more sense if you accept the following assumption, Jenny is an orphan sent to this place back in 1980/90 (then the surroundings make sense), after essentially leading a murderer (her mother) to her father. I expect the VR room is the real exit and one of the ways to win (She would never leave if she visited her mother). The hidden portion of the bunker gives Jenny the transport experience and leads to the elevator. I believe Darby isn't real at all, rather he is a manifestation of her father that she continuously leads to his "death." Tiggs is her mother, whom she stubbornly trusts until everything is taken away (and who supposedly dies in a cell somewhere).The main problem here is that she shakes Tigg's hand and hugs Nina, something outside the scope of visual hallucination. Whether these are just strong suggestions or actors remains to be seen. But I suspect that at least part of Tigg's scenes aren't real either as we see her throat slit on one side of the air vent, and her dragged away on the other. The other way to win would be to actually follow the rules and not touch or interact with the children (people who do so are removed). As for why they punished her, I think she was probably one of the first students back in the 80's. Having failed and with smarter minds and new technology, she was an easy target for ridicule. The psychic communication allowed them to read Jenny's mind and discover her secret, demonizing her further. They bullied her more and more until finally taking control of the facility, wherein they delight in torturing her. After all, if she was smart enough, she (an adult) would pass the test!The most frustrating thing about this movie is that no one checks visual irregularities with their hands or ever takes off their visors. With a longer run-time or tighter focus, this movie could've been a lot better.P.S. There's also the possibility that each time there is a new real "Darby" and that she is literally sentencing someone to die each cycle.

mjsreg I am fairly easily pleased when it comes to movies, but this one became frustrating to watch with in the first 10 minutes.What is wrong with it? The story. Everything else about the film was OK like the acting etc. but the story was just plain stupid.When it started it was OK and logical, but it soon descended into a very poor storyline that seemed was financed because it could be made cheaply, regardless of content.Really you would be better off watching the commercials.

mormonnorman Where to begin, this movie is utterly a piece of garbage in almost every way imaginable. The only redeeming quality is the soundtrack, which has an 80s vibe similar to Stranger Things and It Follows. The Plot was incredibly disjointed, repetitive, uninteresting and plain boring. The initial concept seemed interesting at first but took a steep downhill, which it did not recover from. It took a lot not to shut it off after the first 30 min. I persisted and now wish I hadn't. It is not often a movie can annoy me like this movie did, as I could feel myself get agitated more and more throughout. The Room and Birdemic are far better movies than this. The CGI was decent for the most part, but the AI annoyed me, her voice was so low in volume you could barely hear her, and I believe it was done on purpose, for a reason I can't fathom. This is literally the worst movie I have seen all 2016. Avoid like the plague!
