Oxygen is a good scifi movie but it takes a long time to get interesting. You get a bit more involve around the middle of the movie. I am french, and I can say that the lines are sometimes really more confusing then anything. I didn't likeOxygen is a good scifi movie but it takes a long time to get interesting. You get a bit more involve around the middle of the movie. I am french, and I can say that the lines are sometimes really more confusing then anything. I didn't like the sound quality of this movie. The FX are very good and visually it's an interesting movie. The music is something of a mix bag. The acting is fair enough in this limited space. I give it 71%. Just sad that the movie started so slowly. Maybe the structure of the movie could have been in another format.… Expand

By far best movie of 2021 so far, if you're in to sci fi/black mirror like stories. People who give this bad scores are retarded.

How did she get there and how does she escape? The answer develops into an intriguing surprise or two (no spoilers here), but suffice it to say that it’ll keep you (and her) guessing. The reveal is definitely something unexpected and cool. Surprisingly, this is a French film, but the woman is the only person on camera and the dubbing is so damn good that it's almost unnoticable. Since it’s French, the story unfolds a bit slower than some audiences might prefer, but the payoff is worth it.… Expand

The incredible shots and Mélanie Laurent's acting are the best part of this film.

The development of the high concept — a movie transpiring in the same place — doesn't cover new ground, and the twists don't come as a genuine shock, but the frustration of the main character is palpable. The ending is disappointing, though.

I've never been interested at all in Alexandre Aja's work, but 'Oxygen' could be a breath of fresh air (pun intended) for anyone tired of his horror films.… Expand

Notre curiosité est éveillée, puis titillée et intriguée par ce thriller claustrophobe qui multiplie les rebondissements sans compter… on ne s’ennuie certainement pas et la réalisation est de bon aloi. On avait déjà eu ce genre de film avec « Buried » et Ryan Reynolds dans un cercueil…

Et on retombe sur les mêmes travers ici, des travers ayant tous la même origine et la même cause : le scénario ! en effet, le scénar est truffé d’incohérences et aussi solide qu’un chateau de cartes pendant un tremblement de terre, c’est dire s’il ne tient pas debout ! difficile d’y accorder le moindre crédit dans ces conditions à la limite du grotesque…

On aime bien Mélanie et ça reste tout à fait divertissant mais faudrait arrêter de nous prendre pour des connards sauvages !… Expand

This film should have been a short, perhaps 30 mins maximum. The film is held together by the lead but doesn't provide enough to think about to justify a full length film

The main character is acted incredibly well and her conversations with the AI in the pod are very engaging as she attempts to find a way out. The film gets more and more tense as the oxygen continues to deplete and you keep wondering how she could possibly save herself with the time remaining, or if she even will. Overall quite great, worth a watch. Also MILO is my bro.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With love,

There are cheap movies made during the pandemic, and then there is this one. Indeed, a very creative one. A one-woman show. How could it have been done better than this during the pandemic? Couldn't.... right?

I can't help myself mentioning all of the positive reviews this movie received. "WOW! It is soooo grrreaaaaatttttt!" (LOL)

As a bonus, we have here one of those movies that were built (and growing) towards a plot twist in the end. Well, it is an interesting plot twist for sure, and even in these circumstances the pace throughout the whole movie is always engaging.

So why would I rate this movie with just 2 stars?
(one star to Mélanie... and another to all the tech & visuals team)
- Because, in the end, I found a tiny detail in this movie that ruins the whole show. The M.I.L.O. - a kind of an hi-tech "in-flight entertainment" (IFE) system … Expand
