I was intrigued when I saw a preview for this movie on some other movie I own. I am sure that movie, which I can't recall at the moment that I saw the preview for "the box" was a much better movie, even if it was "Hot Tub Time Machine" or something like that.
This movie has one of the most deceptive or most clever previews I have ever seen because it draws you in and makes the movie look incredible. So a week went by, I was at a garage sale and what did I see "The Box". Well I pushed the box into my BluRay player and pressed the button, the play button. I wonder did I kill anyone when I pressed play for this movie? Was the movie the actual box that when everyone pressed play, someone somewhere died? Then where is my million dollars or in 1976 purchasing power my $3.7 million dollars in today value? Was I just part of a social experiment? Nah can't be.
As you can probably tell, I wasted my time watching this movie. While it was interesting it explained nothing. It should have explained the "Alien" influence a bit better like say, something came to NASA because it discovered the Viking spacecraft in outer space. At leas that is what I figured to be the reason for taking place in 1976. But instead of that, we're left with nothing.
I am disappointed in "The Box" it really had nothing. There was no point to this movie. Perhaps that was the point to this movie. The point is, that if Hollywood makes a movie look so good in a preview we'll watch it, because they've proved we'll pretty much watch anything even "Hot Tub Time Machine" which was better than this.
