The Room

I would have loved to rate this movie higher, there's plenty of potential in the concept and some of the ideas in the movie but I couldn't stand the characters. Their interactions with each other, and their development doesn't follow human rules, they are what is needed in the scene and that creates a disconnect that avoided me to enjoy the film. Most of it is also completely predictable, except for a twist near the end, and I'm not sure if I couldn't see due to the incoherence of it all at that point. I would have rated it at least 5 because it feels like a movie despite its flaws, but there are so many good reviews I feel like I need to warn others, thus this review.

*NON-SPOILER*

The film was very original and had some great ideas. It was a reasonably good picture where at times you could reach into the the plot and imagine you were really there, in the film. The direction the film took could have gone many of ways. The story followed a path of a life over other potential aspects of which I felt could have been more intriguing, which might sound vague but I do not want to reveal any spoilers. Overall is was worth a watch and I enjoyed it, following the joiurney, but in all fairness, will probably not watch again.

Great thriller with very interesting story. It won't win awards for acting( good, but not that good), but the story is excellent. Another reviewer compared it to Outer Limits episode which I also agree.

Certainly it could've been even better with bigger budget and millions $$ in SFX(lol) . Sure, I'd want to see how far they could've gotten with their wishes as well as towards the end it could've been a bit more twisted, but nevertheless, it is a great thriller that is different than majority of thrillers these days which have the same stories over and over.

Now, we all have different taste in movies. You can see my other ratings and reviews to see what I like and then decide if you want to watch it. In short, if you like Outer of Limits/Black Mirror type of entertainment, you will LOVE this movie.

Over all this film was far better than I expected, but the pace lets it down.

The storyline is actually well thought out and fairly well executed, with a twist that you can only see coming around the corner, rather than miles away.

The acting is solid although did start a little shaky.

More psychological thriller than anything else and keeps a nicely structured approach, which plays on greedy over humanity.

The start of the movie is where it goes wrong in my opinion. They kinda rush through it, and that's why I didn't have any affinity with the story. Further on in the movie it gets better, the story and the whole metaphor gets more body. But for me (!) personally, they should've put more effort in the developing of the story at the beginning, so we could've had more connection with the whole story and the characters. Still entertaining to watch, and definitely worth a watch to make up your own opinion.
