...might have been a better title. I appreciated this familiar thriller set in the near future, or now? It's easy to imagine or as the filmmaker not so subtly points out IS happening to us now. I could personally relate to the thrill of getting clicks and putting off more important things in my life but for what? Are we really living when we operate in this kind of void?
I also appreciated the simplicity of the setting and system by which the filmmaker brings us into this bleak and sterile world fulled by external forces, a faceless and relentless pressure to produce more and more and more - but for what? I'm looking forward to more films by this up and coming director writer.

This is just cube redone as a bunch of people in separate rooms. The only difference is most of the people are supposedly happy being prisoners. I guess that makes it original...
The main character is ok but boring. No way people are paying to watch him fart.
It was hard to stay immersed in the movie, your mind wanders as it drags on and on. It should have been a short on Black Mirror. The yoga chick is the only one worth watching.
This was a tight budget, 1 camera same rooms over and over, Crappy TV monitors. Whole thing reeks of cheap.
I would not recommend but it isn't awful, just boring.

Share? Surprised me. I almost turned it off several times due to its inane stupidity. I would call it satire more than a thriller. There isn't all that much thrill to it, but it takes very clear jabs at social media, social media addiction, and caricatures. The visual effects were laughable, the characters were stereotypical, and I didn't find any of it particularly funny or even really sci-fi related apart from the use of computers that were big in the 1980's.
I have seen far worse movies, though. This indie film was simply shot; the camera never moves. There are no shaky-cam shots, jump scares, explosions, or lens flares.
I'm actually glad for that, because they have enough trouble managing actual fire.
A lot is left unexplained but as this film seems message-focused, most people will just glaze over the lack of clarity.
Sadly, in my opinion, the film also blew its landing. People gained power and promptly abused it, as everyone knows they would. I won't spoil it for those who choose to watch it. I'll just say that it ultimately disappointed me.

Think of being in a form of full immersive whole body facetime in a single windowless room with no way out, you arrive with no knowledge of how you got there or why, Everything you do is voluntarily "shared" to get "likes" to recieve benefits to either "buy" stuff to make your room better equipped, or to get better foods and drinks as well as clothing. Every "player" starts the same in thier basic underwear with nothing else and they must figure out how to use the interface to find others and get the perks, or find a way out. There are "glitches" which when used can wreak havok or sooth, but to use one, you take a chance as to it's actual beneit or terror. There is a punishment for non-compliance as well which can be deadly. Looks very much like what a tyrannical global government would do to keep the people under control, monitored and eliminate undesireables at the same time and it could all be run by AI. Quite terrifying if you think it out...Nothing questionable, partial nudity, some foul language and some graphic terror. Enjoy!
- If you liked the movie "Cube" or "Buried" you might want to check this movie out. It feels like a black mirror episode to be honest. It's definitely sci fi with an invisible commentary surrounding social media. It's a movie definitely not for everyone.
- It's has a fresh take on minimal , as few as possible actors and settings, type of movies. I love these type of movies. Be aware that the movie takes place on only 1 camera, meaning 1 camera angle.
- Melvin Gregg who plays #000000014 , actually does a great job. Decent acting and his screen presence kept me engaged and glued to the screen. He comes off as likable and has a kind heart.
- The first 15 minutes are definitely a mixture of, ' I hope this movie is good?', 'I hope the main actor can act with the material he's been given?'. The answer is yes on both.
- It instantly reminded me of Cube but with the whole spiel/layer of Twitch (the live streaming platform) permeating the movie.
- The soundtrack is a bit quirky at first but It really grew on me. I now hum it involuntary. 'dud' - dud dud dud.
- I have to admit , I really enjoyed this movie. It kept me guessing. And the character developments with its twists and turns were actually not bad. I am very happy I stumbled across it and gave it a try.

- TriviaDirector Ira Rosensweig stated "it was very important to me that the actors could interact with each other in real time, so we built three identical sets next to each other on a stage. Equally important was their ability to see each other, as well as the need to establish fixed eyelines to each of the elements on their screen, without which the reality of the movie would have been destroyed. In order to achieve this, each set had a fixed camera integrated into a visual communication system that we created using Interrotrons (essentially, two-way teleprompters) connected to a live switching system. This allowed not only me, but each actor looking at their teleprompter to see a previsualization of the finished scene -- that included not only the live feed of the cameras in the other rooms, but also the computer interface as they typed and interacted with it."
