Oxygen (2021) IMDB
Oxygen is a French science fiction thriller exclusive to Netflix that takes place in a very confined place. If you have seen the 2010 movie Buried starring Ryan Reynolds, this is the sci-fi version of it.
The gist of the movie is a woman wakes up in a cryogenic chamber with no memory of how she got there and with her oxygen levels lowering rapidly and unable to get out of her chamber. Obviously this is a problem. The movie is her trying to figure out where she is, what is happening, and how she can fix it.
All of this happens from a claustrophobic space. So why is this review on a maze website ? Well, there are a few scenes that show mice moving through a maze. These scenes are all about conveying the feeling our main character is feeling being stuck in here chamber and trying to get out (troubleshoot).
While the concept is good, the plot peels away like the layers of an onion. It’s a bit slow, but worth a look if you like Sci-Fi.
I give it a 6/10.
Enjoy this trailer for the movie:
