before you dismiss my post as not getting it and let me say. i am one of the biggest richard kelly and the twilight zone fans out there. donnie darko is one my all time favorites and i even thought southland tales had it moments. i am a huge sci fi fan. i was very excited to see the box and couldn not wait for it to come out. having said that. the box is terrible. behind drag me to hell and this was the worst movie i have seen in 2009. and it just simply will not end. whenever you think you have reached the end and another change in the plot and youre off to more torture. i was actually groaning in the theater by the end of the film. i could hardly take it anymore. the biggest problem with the box and no matter how you slice it or try to justify it and is that it simply makes little sense. trust me and i got it and i understood what was going on. but that doesn not mean it makes a lot of sense looking back on it. take the basics for example. the main couple. cameron diaz and james marsden and playing norma and arthur lewis. diaz loses her finances at her job and then bemoans to her husband that they are living paycheck to paycheck. well and sell that f ing porsche your husband is driving then. they live in a beautiful 2 story house in a nice subdivision. marsden is working what seems to be a high paid job at nasa and diaz is an accomplished teacher. and and yes and marsden drives an overly expensive car. but they are somehow living paycheck to paycheck. no need to press the button and just cut down your high priced lifestyle a bit. the movie would have worked better if they showed the couple jobless and in serious debt. instead and they are seemingly desperate for money. all the while living what i would call a luxurious lifestyle. like i said. you can understand what going on and yet it still makes little sense. that a rare combination. there was an awful scene in a library that i feel will go down as one of the worst segments in movie history (terribly acted too by the way). it was 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 involves nose bleeds and body possession by aliens. (yes and i am being serious unfortunately). a kid is in diaz class with a wicked and smile on his face (a sinister smile that seemingly goes by completely unnoticed by everyone in authority at the school). he starts asking diaz personal questions and literally embarrassing her in front of her class. no punishment is given to the kid whatsoever. he do not even get asked to stay after class for a talk. then diaz is at a party. and the same kid is one of the hired help. ironed shirt and apron and all. i do not know many alien possessed kids (who appear to be in junior high) that also moonlight as a bus boy at parties sponsored by teachers and school officials. but we found one here. (see what i mean. you can understand it completely and but it still makes no sense. a rare combo. ) like many things in the movie and the kid comes and goes. no real explanation about him and no ending to his character. moving on. a lady then approaches diaz in a grocery store and telling her that experiments are being ran secretly and her family is one of the test subjects. well. hmmm. if aliens possess the powers where they can take over a body remotely. and the aliens do not want to help diaz. then who was taking over this lady body and giving diaz advice. again. the lady was trying to help diaz. and the aliens weren not interested in helping diaz. so who the hell was controlling her body. never explained. never talked about again. no nothing. it goes on and on and on like this for and what seemed to me like and 2 weeks. it would not end. i wonder if this movie underwent a massive re shoot at some point. it was poorly edited. diaz accent was there one minute and gone the next. sub plots began but never ended. the numerous push backs of the release date obviously shows the problems the producers had with the finished product. it truly a train wreck. pass on this one. there no redeeming value in it whatsoever. negative  and just because i like diaz and sci fi. but it probably deserves a negative . thanks for reading. jd.
