My Iron Lung Movie Review (Spoilers)

Spoiler

I absolutely loved this movie. Idk if Mark has a history in acting and or such but Mark is an absolute natural when it comes to acting, every part felt so real and genuine, even if he's just hallucinating or standing in stress, it felt pure. Watching Mark play the game first and then seeing the game adapt into the movie is amazing. Its really hard to make a movie interesting when you're just in one place but they pulled it off extremely well. I wish the Fnaf movie did it like this.

Now for some issues. (Again this is just my opinion don't take it too seriously): For people who have never seen gameplay of Iron Lung will be really confused with this movie and may find it boring. A lot of the intercom scenes were hard to hear. I wish the navigation parts were more immersive instead of quick transitions. I was confused by Simon's backstory and whatever the "tree" was. In the game when navigating there are a lot of tight places you have to squeeze through precisely, I was hoping to see that. This movie doesn't really explain much verbally, but visually, and I think that's a double edged sword but at the end of the day I liked it. 8/10

Now some questions: So the Blood Ocean, near the climax you can see how Simon is sort of fusing with the ship. Did humanity end by fusing into an ocean of blood? The box he had to protect, what exactly was it? When he found that charm bracelet and said "I'm sorry brother" I was confused by that. Does Ava end up dying and how?
