Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
ianenderby You wake up and realize that you are trapped. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide and no way to win. Forces have conspired against you and there is nothing you can do. Alone in the dark, precious empty time ticks by as you draw your last few breaths. What has it all meant? What good have I done? Does it even matter?I imagine that we have all felt this way from time to time, and there are certainly those who would have us believe that this is the reality for many of us. Buried underground in a wooden box, we see Paul Conroy face these obstacles in an all too real way. Fully immersed by both compelling cinematography and superb sound design, we are subjected to the horrors of this claustrophobic catastrophe right along side the films only embodied character as he searches for answers and fights for his freedom.I won't say too much more about the plot or the themes, other than I believe the writer struck many a chord that resonated with Americans circa 2010 and even today.I encourage you to set aside an uninterrupted 90 minutes and watch this movie by yourself, in the dark with the best sound system you can find, whether that is a home theater or a good pair of headphones. You won't regret it.
solun-1 It did not entertain me to spend 90 minutes watching a mentally unstable person with a bellow average intelligence talking on the phone having useless, inefficient conversations or waiting to get connected or waiting for someone to pick up a phone and they never do. Somehow, they managed to make a movie where you do not relate to the character, the suspense is non-existent and it all feels very unreal. The idea about this movie is good but it is all shot in such a way that you just do not feel almost any suspense and are mostly bored. The physics in this movie are extremely unrealistic and also the way technology (the phone) behaves is not realistic (with the "looking for the signal" thing etc.). I think you should spare your time and not watch this but it has 7/10 from the majority of people so I guess someone actually enjoyed this. There are more illogical things in the movie but I do not want to write spoilers so see for yourself how many will "face-palm" you. I kind of liked the ending though but it did not make up for the first 89 minutes of boredom. Also, I think they should have chosen a different actor for this one and also all the voice actors should be punched in the face for giving such bad performance.
n-36148 Buried is hard to watch, but equally hard to look away from. It does a fair enough job of working around a confined space, given how difficult cutting to exactly the same location is without making it look like an amateurish jumpcut. But what it does incredibly well is engage you on a twisting, turning, baiting and switching ride that won't ever quite let you off. A very interesting film.
gustin_369 Posing to be more realistic than the buried scene from Kill Bill but in reality being even worse. Damn this movie pissed me off... there's no logic behind it and no reasonable person should watch it.
