Even if this film is classified as “horror”, it’s not scary but it’s thrilling and suspenseful. There’s more than just an escape going on here, so I wanted to include it but it’s not like the others.
#Escape room 2 movie#
I think overall, the first one had better rooms as they had reasons behind them and they were cool, but this movie does make them larger and harder to solve. It’s really about the creativity with these rooms. Just like in the first one, the escape rooms are really the highlights of the film. We just needed some flesh! But this movie wasn’t about that I guess lol. Carlito Olivero as Theo, we learn a bit about his life outside of the games and maybe see that he’s quick on his feet and willing to put himself in danger to try something… so we have some nice skeletons of characters. Indya Moore as Briana was interesting, she’s gorgeous and we learn that she’s an influencer, but we don’t learn a lot about her personality outside of her caring about animals. Thomas Cocquerel as Nate also had a lot of potential as well, he’s a Priest who after the games was dealing with trauma, understandably, but he still hung on to his faith almost to a fault in some instances. We don’t know what her job was in society to help her be like that, but I’d think she was in some sort of medical/counseling type of field.
She was hardened, strong and on her toes a lot of the time. Holland Roden as Rachel is great, and her character had a lot of potential and we probably got to see a lot of her personality most of the new characters. Logan Miller is great, he’s so likable and I really cared about Ben. Taylor Russell was a lot better in this than she was in the first one. I’ll talk about this in the cons too, but I think overall, the acting was good. If it happens, I wouldn’t be mad but it’s also okay if it doesn’t. I can see why people might see their relationship as being romantic as well, I did get the sense that Ben might like Zoey, but she’s so narrow minded on taking down Minos, that she’s not even thinking about it. They trusted each other and they felt each other was the other’s responsibility in the game. But I liked that they worked together, that they never had a moment where they argued for the sake of the plot or argued that caused them to be mad at each other for a period of time.
But he and Taylor Russell have great chemistry and I truly believe that they care about each other, even if a lot of their connection might be trauma bonding and maybe he should realize she’s gonna get him into further trouble lol.
But I do attribute a lot of this to Logan Miller, who is freaking likable. I don’t remember if I liked him all that much in the first movie, or at least he grew on me. Honestly, a welcomed surprise is how much I liked Ben. This review will be of the “theatrical” version as this is the one I would have seen in theaters anyway… but I will mention the extended version at the end. They’re almost two completely different films. So what’s weird with this movie is that there’s a “theatrical” release (TR) and an “extended” version (EV) and I absolutely watched both of them. Joining forces with two of the original survivors, they soon discover they’ve all played the game before.
