this movie is really stupid. i turned it off, couldn't take any more. save your time

Great movie, brings new things to this style of thriller with deadly games. The mathematical and logical puzzles are incredible, the story is very good and the plots add even more layers of surprise.

A bit silly, but twists and turns keep a person watching.

First of all This Review not for Spanish audience. Because they used to see the cast and directors and they will like this movie based on cast. But as a world wide audience This is one of the worst movie ever I watched. While they exposed the suspense I said Wtf? Dozen of loop holes, Lot of funny solving in the name of Enigma. Are u a math freak? Then you will hang on fan absolutely after seeing this. Other then Roman, Everyone deserves to die. Cheating Gf, car accident maker, Gf Looser. But Roman died with a cop and all escaped.Indian movies are better than this trash. Ending was main funny part on the movie. Do not got tension to watch the funny ending.

This Spanish whodunnit thriller about four mathematicians racing against time to solve puzzles to escape a shrinking room promises nifties of genius but falls apart when it fumbles to come up with a gimmicky resolution in the final stage of presentation.

When smart people start going insane, very good Spanish thriller.

Los retos matemáticos son muy conocidos y simples, nada digno de grandes matemáticos, y los giros de guión están cogidos con pinzas, pero me ha entretenido

Si bien entretiene, no es una buena película. Es de esas películas que podes ver empezadas y de fondo.

I wanted to like this movie but I could really only point out a few redeeming qualities. I like the premise, a key shot where car is filmed in the from above, and the last line of dialogue. The twists and backstories were about as dull as it gets, making it impossible to care about the characters.

"Do you know what prime numbers are? Because if you don't, you should just leave now." This represents the first line from "Fermat's Room", a 2007 Spanish thriller film directed by Rodrigo Sopeña and Luis Piedrahita and I can honestly say that it successfully achieves its twofold aim: not only does the sentence catch the viewer's attention since the first seconds, but it also warns that this movie looks like nothing one has seen before. There is no denying the fact that "Fermat's Room" is the proof that art and science are more alike than different. These two elements coexist harmoniously in the movie, whose action takes place mainly in a single room. The protagonists of the film, four brilliant mathematicians are invited by a man called "Fermat" to an isolated house, giving as a pretext a great enigma which must be solved by them. However, the room in which Galois, Hilbert, Pascal and Oliva are locked turns out to be a trap, since the only apparent way to escape from the slowly closing walls of the shrinking room is to rapidly solve different puzzles given by the guest. One of the film's plus points is the way in which its intricate plot develops. During the ninety minutes runtime, one will witness many plot twists which, together with the stunning mathematics elements, create an adrenaline-filled movie. Suspense is one of the main characters of this thriller and, despite the fact that the film refers to a vast array of mathematical problems, whose solutions presented by the characters may be somehow difficult to keep up with, I feel sure that any person who is fond of suspenseful, mysterious scenes will not be capable of taking his or her eyes off the screen. "Fermat's Room" is all about enigmas, mystery and suspense, while details like Goldbach's conjecture and Blaise Pascal's age when he died indeed represent the icing on the cake. If you are an avid fan of complex storylines and are eager to discover some of the most fiendish mathematical problems one can imagine, you will not regret watching this second-to-none movie!

Cute and suspenseful. Naive, but it draws you in the claustrophobia of the heroes.

Sharp, well-acted, and as suspenseful with its high concept as it is nerve-wracking with its pace this spanish thriller keeps you on your feet observationally and mentally.

Four mathematicians are invited to a special meeting to swap info and ideas. When they get there, they find themselves locked in, with the walls closing in as brain teasers are texted to them via PDA. If they can answer the questions, the walls stop. But if they don't, they'll be crushed to death. Can these four find the answer to escape Fermat's Room? Fermat's Room is a well executed mind bending thriller. Its a simple concept, done very well with what little they had. Its definitely worth viewing, for a different kind of thriller that still entertains.

Smooth and suspenseful.

This stylish thriller gives the phrase "thinking inside the box" a whole new meaning. While there are a bit too many twists to the story, some short on logic (or common sense on that matter), its frantic pace and clever editing keep you on edge, and you get a chance to solve a few interesting puzzles along the way.

Like a Spanish version of Cube, but with a bit more depth and a lot less gore.

i loved it -- i just watched "Exam" last night and ended up looking it up on IMDB because one of the actors was familiar to me but i couldn't place him, and IMDB recommended that i would also like this movie since i liked "Exam". they were completely right. i love math, i love brain teasers (i only wasn't able to do 2 of them in the time allotted) , and i love psychological thrillers -- kind of reminded me of the game "Clue". so if you like any or all of what i just mentioned, you'd probably like this as well.

Like Cube, but a bit more artsy. A must see!

Luis Piedrahita and Rodrigo Sopeña's thriller promises much in the way of an intriguing premise, but the end result doesn't fulfill its potential. However, the film is quite involving despite predictable plotting and does feature competent performances across the board, lead by a fine Alejo Sauras.

Original and ingeniously basic premise full of suspense and intrigue--Simple but very effective!!
