Deserves a 0/10
This is a film, not a concert.

Has it occurred to anyone that he wasn't referring to the film's release but the release of the test subjects?

i would assume that's what he meant (but why film not concert??)
but jeez, talk about WTF! what's up with the endless identical rooms? anyone else notice the time stamp going back and forth along with the asian woman's hair length? and then the end is the same as the beginning? the woman who jumps down the shaft says "this is the only way out"...is she referring to an endless loop they're stuck in? are they a bunch of identical subjects going from room to room?!? is it like the "cube" films?? why in hell does she paste a sign to the observers camera saying "lock me in"????
i mean, i watched it more than once. i replayed stuff i didn't get and sometimes it made sense but more ofter it didn't.
other than the fact that it seems like a mishmash of unrealized bits of mismatched kinda interesting things...maybe they were writing a quilt from scifi leftovers?...i actually thought the acting was very good, especially compared to most of the absurdly amateurish acting (and scriptwriting) i've been seeing in independent films. most if not all the sentences made sense! there were no serious grammatical errors i could spot, and no awkward dialogue sounding like a semi-literate writer was trying desperately to sound smart by putting archaic and or literary phrases into modern characters' mouths.
and i believed the actors. they seemed like real people, in fact i think it was the actors who really held my attention...i think they put more into their roles than the script supplied.
re: script: indeed it seemed unlikely that they wouldn't discuss their pasts (or anything else much) in that situation, impossible even.
so does anyone think they're supposed to be computer simulations or holograms in a 3D game for a god-like watcher? a fleshy video game for bored deities?

Your comment makes no sense, and it obviously did not and still does not have merit. This was not that bad of a movie. Just would have been better with different ending.

I like that didn't get the end... could watch it again now.
