Taylor Russell as Zoey Davis ESCAPE ROOM: TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS — 2021, dir. Adam Robitel

[taiturner]

I was on a plane with my mom backpacking across Vietnam. Plane just crashed in the middle of the jungle. Took them a week to find me. We’re sole survivors. We’re a statistical improbability. Now they want to see who will be the luckiest of the unlucky.

I watched Saw one time and then thought of this quote from Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. I felt like they went well together.

hi non-existent escape room fandom

do you guys ever think about the fact that

a normal young person can't be at fault for a carbon monoxide poisoning, a targetted soldier can't be at fault for an IED blast, an innocent miner trying to do his job can't be at fault for a mine collapse, a person just trying to sail somewhere can't be at fault for the boat turning over, a normal passenger can't be at fault for a plane crash, but the driver IS at fault in a car crash!

cause i do! i think abt that A LOT.

[dollarstoreartsupplies]

god i wish the escape room movies had more of an audience becuase i NEED to talk about danny kahn like like LIKE

spoilers below obviously

this kid is the youngest player (I don't think it's specified but he's at oldest early 20's) and he lost his ENTIRE FAMILY to carbon monoxide poisoning either very recently or REALLY YOUNG (I can't remember if we know) and is also he is so fucking good at escape rooms like really good at escape rooms

and then he has the only death that's pretty much exclusively unavoidable regardless of how clever you are

like you can make the argument it wouldn't have happened if ben hadn't been a dick but also there were clearly explosives in the ice and a fast current and regardless it's clear minos wanted to kill him; it wasn't about luck it wasn't about being smarter it wasn't about making mistakes he just dies because they explode the ice he's standing under

and it almost makes you wonder if minos had underestimated him? like they hadn't realized quite how good he'd be, and wanted it to come down to luck more than it came down to skill or maybe they HADN'T underestimated him but his death had just been a preplanned and especially cruel way of setting the stakes for the other players

like idk where im going with this and it's not expanded upon at all in the movie because he dies first and obviously from like an Art perspective he's clearly just the peppy, vaguely likable scapegoat character who dies first so the audience invested in the stakes but also I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIM I WANT FANFIC ABOUT HIM I WANT TO THINK ABOUT DANNY KAHN FROM THE ESCAPE ROOM MOVIES-

[b-rainlet]

Not to make a post about a horror movie that was never really popular on here, but I am pretty sure that Danny was killed because they were about to cheat

[ants-personal]

escape room three where zoey and ben have been able to take the time to kinda move on believing they had shut down minos there hasnt been any games zoey has looked so they both slowly try to live together after everything they both dont want to leave the other alone zoey goes back to her classes and ben tries to hold down a job

meanwhile this entire time Claire has just been testing out games much more privately taking place in remote parts of various countries its enough to keep clients happy promising a bigger better game than ever before only problem is they want zoey back at this point shes like the gladiator of games they want to push her as far as they can

So Claire tries to save zoey she contacts her has a meeting explains it in a way that she hasnt been making rooms and games because she wants to but its bigger than they both thought and to take minos down for good she needs zoey to join her as an assistant of sorts so that way they cant put her in the game

Meanwhile Claire has also set it up so the poor ben is going to forced to take the place of zoey in the game being used as pawn to force to make zoey want to help abd futher her cement her trust in claire believing she can save ben again so we have two storylines zoey and claire and zoey eventually finding out she has been betrayed and used and maybe finally taking down minos and claire

and then you have ben forced into another game this time without zoey he doesnt believe in himself enough to think he can survive this time and maybe he doesn't or maybe he just loses limb trying desperately to be smart and clever like zoey and actually beat the game with more than one survivor

Did anybody ask for fic based on Escape Room (2019) and its sequel movie? Maybe not, but I have new characters to play with and want to share. Enjoy a snippet from something in progress.

Collapsing next to Ben, Zoey tried to fight the poisoned air in her lungs. She felt herself slipping away, all the panic she tried to muster faded into a frustrating nothingness.

Just as everything went black, Zoey jolted awake. Her chest heaved as she tried to reorient herself in the new room. Except it was her room, in her apartment, not a Minos trap.

“Zoey?” A sleep-heavy voice asked, “you alright?”

A warm hand pressed against her back, grounding her in the assurance that this was not some Minos trick. Zoey stayed quiet for a moment, focusing on the comforting warmth at her back before turning to face Ben.

“Just a bad dream.”

Definitely need a part three of Escape Room because ZOEY AND BEN HAVE TO GET TOGETHER because OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER! Definitely need part three where they take Minos down and they need to kiss too... anyways, they’ve got chemistry

the meg ramble

I'm the car rn 💪💪💪 going to talk about both The Meg and The Meg 2. Note that I'm no where near a movie critic and really just Some Guy on the internet. Also at it's core I think this is just a goofy little shark movie if anything I'm raining on some parades. I know I said shitty movies though that was actually misleading as this movie in particular wasn't Terrible. Working on watching worse.

Spoilers for both movies of course. Also really long.

preface / summary

Just as a quick summary, ill throw the Wikipedia summary in. I'm horrible with names so I'll be looking then up as I go please correct me if I'm wrong,,

The Wikipedia summary is as followed: " In the plot, a group of scientists encounters a 75-foot-long (23 m) megalodon shark while on a rescue mission on the floor of the Pacific Ocean."

And for the sequel "Like the previous film, it follows a group of scientists who must outrun and outswim the titular Megalodons when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival."

so we're introduced with some guy (we later learn this is Jonas (he really should be dead)) who is rescuing some people. He leaves like half the people to die, in favor of saving who he can. Everyone hates him forever because of this. Cut to the research facility, we're diving into the trench because we think actually that isn't the bottom of the ocean. It isn't. We have scientist guy dj who mains computer type things, Minway who essentially stands around and looks important from what I can remember, but is the head of the operation. He has daughter Suyin and granddaughter Meiying. There's a few other people, but more importantly there's this guy named Jack who is annoying as hell the whole movie (his entire personality is being a billionaire and I love him for that). Blahblahblah, sub gets attacked AH! SHARK! Send rescue, Mr I'm a rebel Jonas goes down to save them, succeeds and were back on the surface. And none other than the meg came, because we blew a hole in the thermo cline. Sad. Then we run around a bit, get chased by a shark, kill the wrong shark, and eventually kill the shark. Yay!

first movie thoughts

I didn't. Hate it. Like ok I don't care about anyone at all, but it's a movie, I watched it, and it was fine. I think my biggest grievance (besides all the little things) would be the fact the meying, currently like. Eight. Was just wandering around. The billion dollar research facility. In the middle of the ocean. At one point, she ended up inside of a sub (she just waltzed in there)?? Like as a silly goofy thing. Normal activities. Idk if it's a trope but like "child that knows more than they should/is super perceptive/knows more about the adult's relationships than the adults" is what she falls into.

Its been a second since I've watched it and quite frankly I wasn't paying a horrible amount of attention. Annoying billionaire guy dies (hubris or whatever), we kill the wrong creature and the meg comes and eats said creature scaring everyone, and the meg is starving or something but like. Suspense of disbelief for a bit here, we need a hungry shark. Honestly it wasn't too bad. Solid movie I suppose. DJ (relevant later) serves as like. That classic large black guy comedic relief character. "I didn't sign up for this," "my friends are dying :(" etc. Also he can't swim (works in the middle of the ocean.) Another guy I forgot about who's relevant later is Mr Jonas' ex. She is like... the lead dive lady (only person on the team we really care about) and is all mad at Jonas or whatever.

Sequel thoughts

ok so we watched this on like. The Big Screen. Had my full attention. This one doesn't get a summary because I have a lot more to say. Also heres the movie blurb thing because I found it funny to read.

"Dive into uncharted waters with Jason Statham and global action icon Wu Jing as they lead a daring research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal Megs and relentless environmental plunderers, our heroes must outrun, outsmart, and outswim their merciless predators in a pulse-pounding race against time. Immerse yourself in the most electrifying cinematic experience of the year with "Meg 2: The Trench" - where the depths of the ocean are matched only by the heights of sheer, unstoppable excitement!" Lots of buzz words or whatever. Literally every other word is unnecessary

first of all. The intro. We're like back in time, and there's a carcass (fairly fresh) conveniently sitting on the shore. There's some aminals (aquatic lizard dino dudes) eating it presumably (though they seem more preoccupied fighting with each other) till a T REX comes. Oooo scary. It yells at them, they run into the ocean. This is presumably to demonstrate their aquatic ability and throw them into the story. I don't actually know what animal they are so if they are a real animal lmk 👍 I had a bit of a problem with the t Rex deciding to try and catch these things it just scared away (now swimming) instead of the carcas it scared them away from but I digress. Anyways. What I really wanted to talk about. You know how beaches work right? There's a drop off like eventually but it's relatively shallow. Well. This t rex is standing in maybe 4 feet of water at best. Barely off the shore. Then this fucking GIANT ASS SHARK (the meg) comes out of absolutely nowhere and eats the t rex. I know that this is just like. Introducing the gang (weird water reptiles and megalodon) but oh my goodness. She would Not be eating t rexes standing in 4 foot deep water. It's going to get beached man.

I didn't like. Watch any trailers n such for this movie. But after skimming the Wikipedia article, apparently we're being funded by a new billionaire (this time she ISN'T being annoying as hell the whole time.) Also they make a really big deal about the SENTENCE CANCELED I WAS LOOKUNG UP THE TRAILER BUT I FOUND A DIFFERENT ONE AND THE SHARK JUST FREAKING. FLIES BACK INTO THE WATER. LOOK: https://youtu.be/dG91B3hHyY4?t=35 SHE FLIES BACK IN THERE...........ok anwyas ummmm.. forget whatever I was talking about let's talk about the kraken. There's a weird emphasis placed on it in the other trailer but it's super absent in this one. There's a lot going on in this movie hang on. Ok. There's the meg(s), illegal mining, and kraken. Also they kept a pet baby meg and it waits till this movie to escape, Of Course.

Kraken

Ok emrmremrmrmemrm!!!!!!!! I think it was introduced last movie....? Basically this lady almost dies to it but the meg comes along. Classic. Never really mentioned again. This movie though it takes like a massive backseat despite how important it tries to be. Like in the beginning we're walking around in some uncharted land, happy guy who is clearly gonna die dies to it, and we go about our way. It isn't brought up till like... the end or so. And all it does is kill a few people, be a minor obstacle, and eventually gets eaten by the meg. Basically she does nothing to the plot. I want to say like... last movie? We talked about Megs and krakens being enemies or whatever, though I forget the exact phrasing

Illegal mining

Ok so. I had gotten a bit lost at this part. But basically billionaire lady (name irrelevant and also she only appears via video calls till the end where she just dies) is funding both the illegal mining and Good Guys (I only found this out via Wikipedia but I miss things a lot.) Jess (Jonas' ex) is currently working with the Good Guys but SECRETLY is working with the illegal mining organization? This is also presumably why they never explored further into the trench but honestly that's really absurd. Unrelated but Meiying is like 14 now, snuck onto and rode a sub, and contributes nothing to the plot. But long story short the Good Guys get hit by a rockslide, end up in the evil mining organization base (completely empty for some reason?) And get trapped in this room. Jess reveals herself to be a hater and is like hey [girl I forget the name of] harpoon Jonas in the heart or you're all gonna die. [Girl I forgot the name of] doesn't and Jess starts filling the room with water slowly because that's a thing she can do. JONAS. Ok. We're like. Literally lower than the mariana trench. Jonas, Mr I'm gonna save everyone is like. Hey guys don't worry I'm going to SWIM TO THE ENTRANCE. Ok. So. Not to mention the immense pressure, it's also probably like... a bit cold. We don't care about the cold shhh ignore it. But don't worry about the pressure! Because you know fish right? Glub glub? How do you think they breathe? Humans have stupid air in their nose (and nowhere else in their body) so if we fill our nasal cavity with water, then we won't die from pressure. Also we'll be fine for a solid 30 seconds. So you know what Jonas does. He breathes in a bunch of water. And swims out there. In his stupid little wetsuit. And he makes it Of Course because Jonas has no respect for his health and is therefore immortal. The number of times this guy should have or could have died is insane but he doesn't because he's the main character and the "wildcard" or whatever so it has to work out in the end. You sure showed them Jonas. Good job.

DJ (he gets his own paragraph

Anyways like. There isn't much character growth going on (less here than the first movie) and they're sorta just running around doing stuff which I respect but also eh. My man dj!!!! He's still really a comedic side character but like. He learned how to swim. Got some useful survival skills. And like. Actually helps people. Generally speaking this movie sorta follows a "if you aren't helpful or related to Meiying you Will die before the end and no one will care" rule. Dj is an exception to this in the first movie. Though he contributes nothing besides being a warn body that watches computer screens (not helpful when they're stranded in the middle of the ocean). BUT THE SECOND MOVIE!!! HE CONTRIBUTES STUFF. Irrelevant stuff (side plot or whatever) but he does something and I think that was pretty cool of him. Also at the very very end he saves meiying. He's still the comedic relief black guy but he does something and I think that's pretty neat.

Final thoughts

this duo wasn't like. Bad or anything. Not particularly for me, but didn't make me actively homicidal [see: escape room 2]. If I like. Close my eyes. It's a pretty fine movie. I didnt care about any of the characters and was quite frankly actively rooting against jonas because I'm mean like that but that'd just a me thing. Would probably hit better with the "I just want things to happen and a giant shark to be there" crew though that is not me unfortunately. There were a lot of things happening and I didn't do a great job keeping up with the things, nor did they all get the attention they probably needed (coughs at kraken). Also i forgot to mention this but they just. Leave one of the Megs out there. Haiqi. The one they kept as a pet. It just.... swam away. And they let it. Top ten worst invasive species to introduce to society. I don't know if they take care of it in the future but as of the end of that movie, there's a BABY megalodon swimming around the ocean freely.

mom enjoyed it so that's all that matters. I love you mom.
