Review of The Box

The Box (I) (2009)
7/10
What's not to understand?

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is a solid piece of movie making. It offers a lot of mystery, nice production design and a great atmosphere. I'm always amazed by the lack of tolerance and arrogance of the internet community. Giving this movie the lowest rating just because you don't understand it? That's like saying advanced physics is bad because you have no idea what it is about. Next time just stay away from the keyboard if you have nothing to say!

Actually the story is not that hard to grasp. It becomes quickly clear that the box is a test by a higher power to evaluate humanity. All the details exactly who or why doesn't matter. In fact, I would have liked it if there were less clues and more suspense until the end. Sometimes it's not just the story that provides entertainment, but the experience diving into a mystery.

The movie is not perfect and not as good as Donnie Darko, but it's much better than Southland Tales.
