Iron Doors (2010)

The concept of having a 3d movie is usually to expand the image, giving depth and  distance to an environment. "Iron Doors" in 3d must be a joke on the audiences. They might have well made "Buried" in 3d. I chose to watch this one in a 2d format.

                Yet another survival movie with one actor (for the most part) stuck in a secluded environment for a long duration, causing starvation and desperate survival tactics. Unlike others of its kind, ("127 Hours", "Buried", and even "Cast Away") Iron Doors does not have the charismatic actor that is worth watching for over an hour and a half. And on top of that, the acting, although not bad, can be faulted by the strange and unnatural dialogue. Most of the film, I felt like yelling at the screen, "Shut up. Shut up. For the love of God just shut up!".

                I actually debated recommending this one for two reasons. The first is because the film is never boring and you'll think that the hour and a half spent watching is only about 45 minutes. I literally had to check the time clock once the credits came up, because I thought I may have just watched a short film instead of a feature. The second reason is it's absolutely WTF ending. Watching this with people is entertaining because most people, I included, will feel ripped off and utterly confused. But for that very reason, the movie feels like nothing is truly original, just a mash up of confusion and laziness.  It would frighten me to think that someone read this script and thought, "This is worth making".

Avoid it.
