no creativity, nobody tried anything
- How about throwing a bunch of clothes on the "eye" so it can't see?
- How about constructing a rope out of clothes, belts, etc. and throwing it over the light fixture above and climb out?
- How about grabbing one of the dead bodies when it falls on you, on your circle, then use it as a shield and walk out of there as the eye blasts the dead body?
-How about seeing if you can switch circles? Stepping on the floor set the alarm off, not necessarily lifting feet so they might have been able to jump around/ dodge blast.
- How about constructing a ground so that the electrical blast is shunted and doesn't kill anyone?
They all stopped trying anything at all in the first five minutes. They had rings, watches, etc. Throw them into the dark, break something Try ANYTHING.
Doesn't matter if any of that would have worked, they didn't try.
Seen the "Bunch of people in a room only one may live" movie plot about a dozen times now. I keep watching them like tugging on a bad tooth. I keep hoping there is going to be some actual human insight.
The production was fine, but without any intrigue or creativity the film itself was going in circles until the very pointless, obvious end. What was up with the narration, as if it was so difficult to realize he was playing them? What was up with people just standing there while alien ships hovered over, like got nothing better to do than creepily stand utterly motionless and dead silent on some random backstreet? That just introduced more annoying questions than it answered.
- If the people he encountered at the end seemed to have been survivors like him, that would have been interesting, what kinds of people would they be, would they have a knowing look, a guilty look? Could he be the only non-child/pregnant woman? That would have been funny.
- If the people he encountered at the end knew he was a survivor, perhaps the media was there and they immediately start asking him how he got out, that others had come out too. That could have been interesting.
Instead a pointless narration and an inexplicable group of idiots.
