before you dismiss my post a not get it and let me say . i be one of the big richard kelly and the twilight zone fan out there . donnie darko be one my all time favorite and i even think southland tale have it moments . i be a huge sci fi fan . i be very excited to see the box and couldn not wait for it to come out . have say that . the box be terrible . behind drag me to hell and this be the bad movie i have see in 2009. and it just simply will not end . whenever you think you have reach the end and another change in the plot and youre off to more torture . i be actually groan in the theater by the end of the film . i could hardly take it anymore . the big problem with the box and no matter how you slice it or try to justify it and be that it simply make little sense . trust me and i get it and i understand what be go on . but that doesn not mean it make a lot of sense look back on it . take the basic for example . the main couple . cameron diaz and james marsden and play norma and arthur lewis . diaz lose her finance at her job and then bemoans to her husband that they be live paycheck to paycheck . well and sell that f ing porsche your husband be drive then . they live in a beautiful 2 story house in a nice subdivision . marsden be work what seem to be a high pay job at nasa and diaz be an accomplished teacher . and and yes and marsden drive an overly expensive car . but they be somehow living paycheck to paycheck . no need to press the button and just cut down your high price lifestyle a bit . the movie would have work good if they show the couple jobless and in serious debt . instead and they be seemingly desperate for money . all the while live what i would call a luxurious lifestyle . like i say . you can understand what go on and yet it still make little sense . that a rare combination . there be an awful scene in a library that i feel will go down as one of the bad segment in movie history ( terribly act too by the way ) . it be idiotic and illogical and out of place . i can not even begin to fully describe it actually and so i will move onto a subplot that involve nose bleeds and body possession by alien . ( yes and i be be serious unfortunately ) . a kid be in diaz class with a wicked and smile on his face ( a sinister smile that seemingly go by completely unnoticed by everyone in authority at the school ) . he start ask diaz personal question and literally embarrass her in front of her class . no punishment be give to the kid whatsoever . he do not even get ask to stay after class for a talk . then diaz be at a party . and the same kid be one of the hired help . iron shirt and apron and all . i do not know many alien possess kid ( who appear to be in junior high ) that also moonlight a a bus boy at party sponsor by teacher and school official . but we find one here . ( see what i mean . you can understand it completely and but it still make no sense . a rare combo . ) like many thing in the movie and the kid come and go . no real explanation about him and no end to his character . move on . a lady then approach diaz in a grocery store and tell her that experiment be be run secretly and her family be one of the test subject . well . hmmm . if alien possess the power where they can take over a body remotely . and the alien do not want to help diaz . then who be take over this lady body and give diaz advice . again . the lady be try to help diaz . and the alien weren not interested in help diaz . so who the hell be control her body . never explain . never talk about again . no nothing . it go on and on and on like this for and what seem to me like and 2 week . it would not end . i wonder if this movie undergo a massive re shoot at some point . it be poorly edit . diaz accent be there one minute and go the next . sub plot begin but never end . the numerous push back of the release date obviously show the problem the producer have with the finished product . it truly a train wreck . pas on this one . there no redeem value in it whatsoever . negative and just because i like diaz and sci fi . but it probably deserve a negative . thanks for read . jd .
