A woman awakens to find herself sealed in an airtight cryogenic medical
container, with only a trace memory of how she got there. Released on
Netflix, OXYGEN is a near-future French sciFi thriller from Alexandre
Aja, whose horror thriller HAUTE TENSION remains one of my all-timers.
Admittedly, OXYGEN's script could use the light technical once-over that
most any sciFi nerd could've supplied. Nevertheless, for viewers like
me who are kindly-disposed to this genre, it's solidly recommended.

Old Boy meets Moon. It's a simple story complicated by the need for drama. It was OK but then again we don't agree on much.

We might agree that your OK sciFi thriller is my solid base-hit.

We might discuss this but it would border on spoiling.

Maybe after I've seen OLDBOY, which I've ordered for a re-watch.

It's a very loose reference. So don't view it looking for a literal translation of what I wrote. You would have to be as dumb as trotsky to do that.

Actually, the re-watch has been on my get-a-round-tuit list.

The problem is discussing the film without drifting into spoilers.

Most people in that situation would quickly go mad.

Tight constraints where the set is about nothing much else than to
talk about it for an hour and half. Even watched one, seen to saw --
guy wakes up in a room run by an AI chip that wants to keep him there,
for its person reasons and not his questions it won't answer, foremost
why it won't open the goddamn door and let him out. Wasn't bad for a
black closet, candle, and camera theme -- not quite the room for the
metal prison toilet bowl, but still a room with talking walls capable
of rebooting themselves. Obviously the modern allegorist.
