A mix of room escape thriller and apocalyptic sci-fi

In my opinion, the first half of the film is an escape room thriller, and the latter part is a doomsday sci-fi film. From the point of view of the plot design, it is relatively successful. A movie worth recommending.

However, in order to match the wonderful plot, there are still some unreasonable places in the setting of the film's characters. First of all, the background of the female protagonist Michelle is just an ordinary person, but her performance has far exceeded the level of ordinary people, with quick reactions and careful thought, and finally she can even destroy the alien spaceship after escaping the secret room. Correspondingly, the big boss Howard, a retired soldier, has performed very well in many aspects, but his IQ will go offline as soon as he encounters something related to the heroine, and he has no defense against him. Escape to succeed. As for Emmett's character position, it's even more awkward, as if it exists to promote the plot. It can only be said that for a reasonable storyline, the character settings of the characters have been weakened. Of course, these ideas are just some personal nitpicking. After all, no movie is perfect. As a good story, this movie has been considered a success, so it is worth recommending.

  • Howard: ...I accept your apology.

    [Howard suddenly whips out a handgun and shoots Emmet in the head, killing him instantly and spraying blood and gore across the wall. Michelle silently screams, fearful and grief-stricken at the loss of her friend. Howard hugs her and tells her that it was for the best]

  • Howard: I know that this isn't the life that you prefer, and that it's been hard for you to come down here... but I really want us to be a happy family, you and me. The mess is all taken care of... so, I'll go get dinner started.
