Sarah (7800 KP) rated Elevator (2012) in Movies
Jul 18, 2020
The premise sounded interested. Kind of like a full film version of the opening scene from Speed (which was surprisingly tense). However this is nothing of the sort. There's no suspense or intrigue or real tension, despite the confined space. It's full of entirely cliched and unlikeable characters, all with rather predictable stories. I picked the bomber on this literally within the first few minutes, and it didn't get much better from them. The plot is just stupid and it makes no sense that these people are stuck in a lift for such a long time without any help. And the ending is just laughable.
There's nothing particularly likeable about this film at all, it's your typical second rate straight to dvd type movie. I've only marked it as high as I have due to have laughably bad it was.

Layout the Timeline, as seen in Trek (from Primordial Ooze to the Antitime Anomaly in "All Good Things...."). You are one of the entities from Trek who has a vested interest in changing the timeline; perhaps the Borg stopping First Contact, or the Cardassians stopping the Emissary...). You will play cards which help you, hinder your opponent(s), and/or change time. Perhaps you make Edith Keller survive her brush with death - what ripples through time will this have? Does it support or stop your Victory Condition?
Each game takes no more than half an hour or so, and it's pretty replayable (4 different difficulties, with half a dozen characters in each).
Plus it's in a tiny box, so takes up hardly any space!
