Okay, I'm just going to wade though the haters again because this is an awesome movie full of impressive/creative ideas and scenes. Plus the franchise is just full of potential and could run and run with an array of amazing sequels if handled correctly.
Firstly I think I should warn you that there are two versions of this movie. The VOD release or extended cut has a completely different beginning and end to the theatrical release. Along with a different storyline and a few different characters while some other characters from the theatrical release were cut out completely. I only realised this after noticing a name in the credits and checking wiki afterwards. Now I find this as interesting as I do confusing.
I can kind of see why this bizarre decision was made. The theatrical version ended with another Saw like cliffhanger with familiar characters meaning that the next creative team are going to have to crowbar that ending and characters into the next film. Where as the ending and storyline of the VOD release gives the franchise the choice to start fresh next time around or for the studio to stop making these excellent movies altogether.
Personally the VOD release seems to give the franchise more possibilities to grow and had a much more satisfying storyline and ending, but at the same time I also love the surviving characters from the previous films and I would be more than interested and excited to see another sequel of either of these two versions. I just hope that if this does happen (and I really hope it does) that the creators and producers can take the time to agree on the direction of the next instalment.
In a perfect world I would prefer if the movie was longer and a new scene was added between the original film and new ending so it would feel less rushed and heavy handed. But with all that said and the strange situation that we are now in it doesn't change that the vast majority of Escape Room - Tournament of Champions was exceptional.
From the moment they entered the first room until the very last puzzle this movie was utterly captivating. I loved every moment and the new rooms and puzzles were simply brilliant. The new characters are great and even in the short time that I got to know them I grew to like them and care about their fates. I especially found Rachel and Nate characters really interesting and they both had some great personality traits and abilities that made the experience even more enjoyable.
I really hope that this isn't the end because Escape Room is easily the best horror/thriller franchise to appear on our screens in the last few decades. It's rare to see films in this genre that are so inventive and ingenious. The possibilities are endless and I can't wait to see what happens next!
