Maybe they werent exactly possessed, but they might as well have been. The movie is about agents of God deciding who gets raptured and who doesn't. And they do that with a box with a button. Why? Because we live in big boxes, apparently, and when we die, they put us in a coffin, which is… wait for it… A BOX.

The Box is retarded. There was nowhere for that story to go, even Richard Matheson knew that. Kelly uses the final twist in the Twilight Zone episode as a second act hook, and it goes WAY downhill from there. It's his usual apocalyptic nonsense, disguised as (bad) sci-fi. Lame Christian allegory plus something

The thing is, originally the guy was attacked by a fucking midget. The mutant monkeys at least made the scene dangerous. In theory.

Well, I always hate unnecessary scenes, so yeah, it does take something away. My patience.

Major movie snob here, and you're right on the money about what makes it interesting: the style. That's it.

Jesus, what a douchenozzle. No scenes on boats? What movie did he think he was doing? I guess next step would be no cars.

TBF, I can make a case for FGF not being a complete piece of shit. Not a good movie by any means, but at least it isn't bland and generic.

The best part is that the whole Galaxy looks exactly the same as it did in the prequels, as if the Empire's presence made no difference at all. No wait, that's the worst part.

Not to mention that one "Maybe someone deleted it from the archives" son-of-a-producer brat.
