Box: Metaphor

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 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 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 the future, crime is dealt with severely. And the person convicted has a choice. Immediate extermination or rehabilitation. And we follow Prisoner 37113, who feels she is innocent. She is sentenced to seven years and chose rehabilitation. It consists of being confined to a box, that does not seem big enough to stretch out in. Food may or may not be provided by local people, and it seems there are a lot of boxes around. There is a small hatch that opens periodically to be able to see out, and there is constant video monitoring, and infractions are dealt with severely. One minor infraction resulted in 7 days of noise so she could not sleep. A second infraction could result in bars coming down from the top crushing the person. It is very unpleasant, and the box leaks so rain will come drown upon the person. Apparently Prisoner 37113 is a political prisoner, as while she was in the box, an amnesty was declared, except for political prisoners. There is no back story, and a person in a box deprived of everything has certain needs that are never discussed as to how they are met, and even clothes would not last seven years under such conditions. And she is forbidden to have anything like reading material or anything to pass the long time. Just mindless confinement, which no person would be able to maintain sanity for even a fraction of the time she was sentenced to. A swing and a miss. Unlike the CUBE, where one could move between cubes, needing to avoid the traps, one is stuck in one cube, and there is no leaving.

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.
