The Abandon

This is a very bad mixture between "Cube" and "Buried". I don´t understand why nobody watched this film; only 75 votes, only one critic (now two with mine), and the critic of 10... It is a production of 2022... I don´t Know, but It looks very strange.

Copy of Rodrigo Cortese´s "Buried", with a bigger set like in "Cube", with very poor acting and a screenplay that could be better, but the directing and the acting are so bad that you just want to stop the picture at the very beginnig, somethig like in the first 20 minutes.

I am not gonna tell You anything about the picture, no spoiling; but I warned you! It is a waste of time. And I am sure that it started with the votes of the production friends and families, but now, with ordinary people like us, with nothing to do with the picture, It will go to 4 stars, with a very few days. Yesterday it was 8.1; today with 20 votes more, 7.4... wait two weeks or four, and you will see...

This type of strange products, coming from years away and nobody watching it... I don´t now... be very careful of those movies with such a poor votes and a big rating. Just wait a month before watching it. Then return to see the rating and you wil discover that It is under 5.

1 star out of 10.

I dont know how the movie came out in 2022. But just now getting released just now to the public. It really should have been abandoned from writing or reading the script or before production , casting , filming. We atleast know that the movie theaters did abandon this from ever being on there big screens. As most should read most of the these reviews and abandoned all hope of watching this and think something will happen or it will get better as the movie begins. That alone was hard enough to make it out of the first few minutes of the movie. I thought it was a comedy at first just going with the bad acting wild lines and just the overall look and feel of the beginning. Maybe it was cause it was a joke and in the end. I just laughed at myself for watching the whole entire movie without turning it off or shall we say Abandoned it.

The concept is definetly interesting, and the main actor is incredible with it's expressions. The writting is enough to keep someone entertained, but not to satisfy.

On top of this, the set is always the same. After a bit of the movie, you realize it really is everything the movie has to offer. Some dialogue, some small setbacks, a problem and a guy stuck in a cube. Nothing more.

If you're an enthusiast of action or science fiction movies, this is definetly not for you. The initial scene is a trap that makes you think the movie is going to be loaded with war scenes, and the ending is as underwhelming and expected as it can be. You will most likely finish this movie disappointed.

I watched this movie because I like escape room style of movies where you can solve riddles and root for the people entrapped. But with this main character, it was really hard to feel any empathy or root for him because the character is highly dumb, loud and pathetic. I disluked him so much, I was looking forward to him getting more hurt or dying. Whoever wrote this charecter and his ridiculous lines should het another job. Also, this movie brings nothing new to the game besides being dumb, it taked the Idea of cube and puts it into a war scenario, thats all. Save your time and do something more fun like watching paint dry.

Having read a few reviews I decided to jump into the Abandon expecting a little more than I discovered.

The film follows a soldier called Miles who while at war in Iraq encounters a bright light and awakens in a a strange cube structure.

That one paragraph has saved you watching the first ten minutes, but the rest of the film felt as limited as its own restricted setting.

Theres sadly very little meaning or thought with most of the film feeling like a convoluted filler to try and keep the audience thinking long enough to sit through the entire film.

Unfortunately you never quite know what's going on, and just as things start to make any sort of sense, you're hitting the last 15 minutes.

I'm a big fan of sci-fi and films that make you think, but the Abandon sadly feels very forced, if you only caught the first 5 minutes and the last 15 minites, you'd know just as much as someone who'd watched the film 3 times which leaves it feeling a little dissapointing.

It's a shame that the last 20 secodns was probably the most interesting part of the whole film, which could potentially point towards a sequel heading in a slightly different direction which could make for a great adventure, but if the rest of the film is anything to go by, it's more e than likely just one scene which actually clicked well and got me thinking, unlike the rest the other hour and a half.
