2Survive: Decent enough effort
4 August 2018
I like the concept of a reality tv show going wrong, it's been done a fair few times before but generally in the horror genre.

Here we see 6 people with camera's attached to their helmets sent into the desert to solve puzzles in hope of winning a potential 100k. Trouble is the more people who finish the lower the prize!

When the staff member travelling with them dies unexpectedly they are thrown in to a real battle for survival. From the dangerous wildlife to the lack of water in the blistering heat and the inevitable betrayals of their team mates.

2survive could have been a lot better but alas suffers from a lot of poor film making and questionable writing. Regardless this is a good effort and isn't even as predictible as you'd assume it would be.

Great cover art, competent enough film, I'd happily recommend this to folks despite its glaring flaws.

The Good:

Converys the fear and threat very well

Solid ideas

The Bad:

Some real flaws across the board

Couple of major plot holes

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Challenges as difficult as those would never be present in a mindless made for morons reality show

Running face first into cacti is a silly thing to do

Murdering people while being recorded by multiple sources makes perfect sense
