Hellevator: "The Bottled Fools"

Hellevator deals with a small group of people trapped in an elevator in dystopic reality. There is a "bureau" who controls everything and ensures peace/order.

Given its production values, the story is excellent. Otherwise the story is interesting with a few twists.

Fortunately the characters are strong and well developed. While some of the elements are left un-resolved in an attempt to create ambiguity (like Bladerunner), there is enough meat that the story remains interesting and surprising.

3 1/2 Stars, which would mean 3 stars Netflix-rating. Neat film with cool sci-fi aspects, but you don't need to run out and grab it immediately.
