Escape Room Movie Review

A Dumb Movie

So, I saw Escape Room a couple days ago with a friend of mine, and this movie is just dumb. Seriously, this is a very lazy way to kick off the year.

Escape Room follows a group of people who are all invited to go to an escape room game, where the game is trying to kill them. Will they make it out alive?

This movie shouldn't have been made. My friend and I were practically screaming the answers at the screen because the puzzles they set up for each of the rooms is just so freaking basic. I mean it might be hard if you were a first grader, but honestly they could have done so much better.

The film tries to go philosophical towards the end, but it just falls on its face and it falls so freaking hard.

I'm keeping this review short, because honestly, I will forget about it by next week. If you feel the urge to watch a discount saw film with half the effort, then escape room is for you.

final score: 2.5/5

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
