I just saw this movie tonight. It was really fucking bad. I can honestly say that hardly any of it made the slightest bit of logical sense. The art direction was really good. Other than that, it was a complete waste of time.

 

Did anyone else see this piece of shit?

i am never going to see this... can you make a spoiler tag and tell me what the twist is? who dies? is there some moral?

James Marsden kills Cameron Diaz at the end for the dumbest reason ever. Their son goes deaf and blind as an unforseen consequence of the box and they are presented with another choice: to let him live deaf and blind or to restore his senses and Marsden must kill Diaz.

 

 

It's fucking stupid. There are no explantions why.

 

 

Also there is a ton of stupid shit about aliens that is never really explained and literally makes no fuckin sense whatsoever.

I saw the box too. Didn't found it especially good but not particulary bad either. At least it has the merit of being an original movie, unlike the average american blockbuster.

 

 

 

However i was quite pissed off about how the ETs acted. "If you're not emphatic enough, we'll have to kill you, bewause we, at least, are truely emphatic and all-compasionate. Fuck this shit.

lol, wat

 

but does it ever say who dies when they push the button? or should I just stop asking questions right here...

 

 

They say someone you don't know will die. Once one person presses the button, the box is given to someone else for the same test.

The only thing is, the guy that got the box before Marsden and Diaz was one of Marsden's co-workers. WTF?

i thought richard kelly would disappear forever after everyone hated southland tales

 

there was so much hype for that movie and it ended up being the biggest, most expensive disaster ever. nothing about it made any sense

 

what company would ever trust him again to be in charge of a project? he's probably a master of working the movie-biz politics

uh, i don't think so,, this is a remake of the short from a mid-80's Twilight Zone tv episode,,,. :mu-ziq:

 

The Box is a 2009 horror film based on the 1970 short story "Button, Button" by Richard Matheson, which was previously adapted into an episode of the 1980s incarnation of The Twilight Zone
