Buried

[Richie]

Its meant to be 5 stars but all I've heard is bad reviews, apparently its just a guy stuck in a box underground for the whole film.


I want to see it just to see how bad it is


has anyone seen it?

[Sammeth.]

I've seen it, and it's absolutely brilliant. It is just Ryan Reynolds buried alive for the entire movie, no other settings, no other on screen actors. But its done so well.

[Misawa]

Never read a bad review...

Saw it in August and it's tremendous. The script is fantastic to sustain such a film for 95 minutes. I gave it four stars in my review (http://www.screenjabber.com/buried-review).

[Richie]

If you look at the youtube trailer, almost everyone is saying something negative about the film.

[Misawa]

The trailer? With all the quotes praising it?

[Richie]

No like people post on the trailer saying they seen it and it was terrible, some of my mates seen it and thought it was **** too. It sounds like a great storyline to a film but just seem boring how people say 'its just a man in a box for the whole film'.

[Misawa]

Film is subjective, but mostly it's only the haters who bother to comment on YouTube videos for movies. I haven't read a single bad review from fellow critics and it went down with rupturous applause at the screening I was at back in August, and that was in the largest screen in the UK.

[Sammeth.]

When I went to see it the cinema was filled with 13, 14 (who shouldnt have been there) and 15 year olds, most of which I heard slagging it off saying it was boring and not interesting, naybe because it doesn't have huge action sequences or whatever captures their attention, instead it has a bloody good plot. Perhaps its target audience is really a more mature one.

[Suspective]

I absolutely loved it. The storyline was actually pretty good.

I'd recommend it to anyone.

:S If all you've heard is bad reviews how is it meant to be 5 stars? :P

Anyway, I plan on seeing it really soon!

[Deak]

Hmm, if the whole film is about one man in a box for the whole film then it has to be set up and done well - hopefully when i see it this is true.

Another film where the whole film is just in one scene is "Phone Booth" and that was a good film despite being in one place the whole time.

Hope it is a good film and I've also heard mix reviews for it.

basically:

DO NOT READ DOES CONTAIN MASSIVE SPOILER!!!!! ( is a question)


i just read the synopsis online about the sand going in and they guy going " im sorry paul" after finding its tht guy called whites's grave. so does he actually die?

why do what i put in spiler tho, wht was the point in the movie if it happens

[Misawa]

i dont actually get why youre asking that? whats the problem?

not all films are going to have a happy ending.

[smiffy70]

no what i was askin was why was he connected to tht guy called white?

[Misawa]

Another contractor was buried in the same way but was saved. They think they're getting to Ryan Reynolds and it's tense as hell - then it isn't him.

[crazed]

I loved the ending. Just pure perfect. Like the way the credits came up just as that final part happened.

I didn't think it would be good as the whole film is just him in the box but it was well worth the £7 I paid to get imo, and I will buy the DVD. Bravo..

[Misawa]

Nice to see someone supporting independent cinema rather than ripping it off.

so basically they dnt realise its him?

[Misawa]

Indeed.

I have no problem with paying, I've never watched a film on the internet. I always buy my movies and pay at the cinema, only time I don't is if I'm watching a friends :P

[PaulMacC]

Just watched the film there, holy ****. The ending was disturbing for me.
Did the Mark White guy die like 3 weeks before and he was only saying he was alive to comfort Paul

Also mods, i wasnt creating a new topic when there is already one recently made. so yeah.,

I think he did. At first, I wasn't sure if Brenner said that Mark White got saved or not.

Just watched this film. It was great!

Gripping, intense... I need a shower now!

[Mark]

Fantastic film imo, the ending was a little weird though

[peteyt]

Sadly I have to admit I haven't seen it yet but need to.

A little bit off topic, but has anyone seen Rope, a classic Alfred Hitchcock film that is done to appear to be all one continuous shot.

[Neversoft]

Yes, I have seen Rope. Fantastic film and I would urge everyone to check it out. Lifeboat is another great Hitchcock film all set in one location.

[peteyt]

I have one of the hitchcock boxsets but haven't watched them all yet. But I read rope and thought this could be boring, but I was kind of fixed to the screen.
