Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on director Tim Smit's short movie 'What's in the Box?', which currently (May 2016) holds 2,6 million views on YouTube. The 9 minute video became viral in 2009 after several gaming magazines reported on it, believing it is connected to the video game series Half-Life.
- GoofsAt 16:50 in the movie you see a sign in different languages. In German they say Stop the profession instead off Stop the occupation. Probably a google translation.
- Quotes
Mia: I thought this was a celebration
Will Porter: It is... kinda
Featured review
Star appears for 10 minutes, rest of the time it's a stand-in
Yes, that's right, folks. Dan Stevens, the star of the movie, only appears for about ten minutes. He appears as Will Porter at his home, in his office and on the lawn. That's it. The rest of the time he's hidden behind some HUD device so the producers wouldn't have to pay him very much. The director has the screen fade to black while the character is knocked out.
The movie is a real big yawn, except for a couple of moments of intense fighting. As another reviewer put it, it is literally a First Person Shooter where you see everything from the protagonist's point of view. You actually start to hope that because Porter is a PILOT, that he'll take control of one of those fancy flying vehicles. Don't hold your breath.
The Pseudo-science behind the project (that pillar of light that you see in the poster) seems likely enough, but sounds incredibly risky as opposed to more "conventional" sources of energy.
What's the message of the movie? Hope? Desperation? Stupidity? How to make a visually crappy movie?
No, the message of this movie is save your money, save your time, and avoid this "movie". You'll be glad you did!
