Escape Room

After seeing <I>Escape Room</i> in 2019, I said that this would become the new <I>Saw</i> franchise, where we would expect a new film every year. While I was wrong, even though a (delayed) sequel (with <B>TWO</b> alternate versions) came out in 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic, it would've been nice to see it become something bigger as there are many creative ways to approach this. While we patiently await a third film, if it happens, the first film introduces us to the Minos Corporation's evil empire, bringing together a group of people to experience deadly escape rooms that are bigger and deadlier than anyone's imagination. Each room is impeccably curated, with hints to each person's past, which is revealed throughout the film, until Minos' intentions are revealed. Also, to find out that the film's budget was $9M is incredible as you would think it was 10x that.

<B>Setup</b>: I watched <I>Escape Room</i> with an LG OLED 55" Posé 4K Smart TV in <B>Perfect Color</b>. This mode was PERFECT as it allowed for many of the colorful scenes, including the billiards room, to stand out. My eyes thank you, LG.

This was a nice January surprise. While I rolled my eyes at some of the dialog, I was taken aback at how great this film is (It was also a box office success, and a sequel will be arriving in late 2021). While it was a little predictable, it’s properly tied up at the end, and makes the viewer want more.
