... View MoreA film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
... View MoreOne of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
... View MoreThe idea of the movie is great, but my only issue is that there is barely no introduction to the main character in the film making you not feel anything for the characters.
... View MoreA lot of people who enjoy sci fi are snobs. They get out their calculators and their college genetics book or their computer programming language manual and if the plot doesn't quite add up to flawless they're miserable because of the time spent watching the film. I thought this flick was really decent. For me it felt like a fresh premise and good acting and scenery. This is NOT a horror film so be warned of that.For a bit of reference on what I enjoy I thought the recent film The Titan(also netflix) was really stupid, particularly the idiotic ending. This film however was head and shoulders better quality. So if you've seen the titan that might tell you if you like this one or not.
... View MoreSorry, but I couldn't finish this movie. Despite being a pretty good looking film with some OK special effects and decent acting (which is why I gave it 3 stars), the movie is just so dumb. So we got this guy, who kidnaps people that society doesn't care about, so he can restrain them to chairs and do these weird electrical-impulses to the brain (maybe the movie explains this later, I didn't get that far) for some research project, and then throws them back in a cell with wrist and mouth restraints. Long story short, this pretty chick blows up a part of his house (which sets off no alarms), she gets two of his subjects killed by some robot, and then he restrains her again. Then we get to a part where she's like "hey, if you let me do whatever the hell I want, I'll participate in your research" to which he does smartly reply "I mean, I kept you tied up and did it anyway, what's your point? I'll just do that" but then he follows that up with "but ok I'll let you roam the house for no reason, and buy you clothes, too, cause I suddenly trust you girl who blew up my house and tried to escape!". So now, I guess he no longer needs to strap people to chairs and do brain experiments, he just leaves this chick who messed everything up to do what she wants so long as she does some puzzles during the day, and surprise surprise, she's still trying to escape. I think the tipping point for me was when he casually remarks that he doesn't want the computer to know certain things like the outside world or whatever, and of course he then leaves the house and two seconds later she's telling the computer all the things she's not supposed to tell it and developing some weird friendship with it. I watched a little more after that but barely remember it, I checked out and decided it was too dumb to finish.
... View MoreThe movie is a cheap Netflix production where the acting is bad and the story is even worse. I saw it to the end because I couldn't believe it would continue to be so bad and uninspiring, but in the end it was totally predictable.Come on Netflix. Stop producing movies like that.
