I watched the movie on two different platforms with the different endings and I thought I was losing my mind for a sec
What platform did you watch the theatrical one (the first one)😅
Omg I thought the same, I just watched the movie site the second ending, and I was going crazy for a sec
where did you watch the extended version?
@@lxve_brithe first one was on prime for a little while I believe
@@lxve_briThe last one I watched on some random movie site
Today I only just found out there was two endings as I have only seen the extended which is on sky and thought that was the actually ending
where did you see the extend version? I watched the movie on Prime and the ending I was given was the first one where they were on the plane 0_0
@@CasiyKNguien i literally had only ever watched the extended version. The theatrical cut wasnt even on hulu.
When I first saw the movie I saw the second version. When I found out there was an alternate ending with Amanda returning I was so excited. I loved her character in the first film. Sadly I was disappointed. The other version is a million times better. If they make a third film I hope they continue Claires story.
I only found out there was two versions of escape room today and I’m so disappointed in the first version 😭the first ending doesn’t make much sense and is a real weak story line but the second with the Minos story line paired with the first scene about the puzzle makers wife’s death was absolute gold plus it gives a clear storyline for a 3rd if there is one.
Same
How does the first ending not make sense? Lol I don’t think you paid attention enough or you got fooled like Zoey.
What puzzle maker's wife death? I just watched the movie on Netflix ans there is nothing like that haha.
@@Mtanic there's another version and it's not on Netflix
There's actually 3 escape room movies. The first isnt part of this franchise though. It's a bit cheesey but worth checking out.
First ending wouldn’t have happened if they would’ve just went back to their car that they left in the alley (just saying) 🙂
I doubt they still had the keys for that car And it being New York, the car would have been booted or towed.. Thinking is fundamental
They were stuck in the subway
I watched the first one then immediately put this on. Right away somethings very wrong. Why this Amanda flashback? By the end clearly some things were very wrong. No explanation for why the other winners were spared. Why would Amanda be any good at designing escape rooms? The daughter thing was dumb forced and weird. The first ending they shot actually makes sense and is better
She does explain the other champions. Literally with one line she says “after you won the audience begged for an encore, a torment of champions, they started letting people win but you were the only one who truly beat them.”
I feel like the second ending gives the movie some much needed... well I wouldn't call it depth, but context. The problem with these movies is that they are neither fish nor fowl. It feels like they wanted to make a Saw kind of movie but they were forced to make it PG-13. And without the gore and viscera of a Final Destination or the aforementioned Saw, you simply cannot afford weak writing. I enjoyed the second one way more than the first, because at least it was really suspenseful. The "rain" room was a really good idea in my opinion. The "beach" one not so much. The theatrical ending was predictable and felt like a cheap knockoff of almost every Final Destination ending (and from now on we're entering spoiler territory for anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet, so if you do not want to have the ending spoiled or the movie in general you should stop reading right about now) where the big plot twist is just that "it's not really over". The extended cut at least gives you some reason why the story shouldn't be over. It works as a nice transition into a third movie, that could give us a big showdown between Zoey and the puzzle master. But for it to be a good transition, it needs a glimpse behind the curtain. We need to see some of the inner workings of Minos, otherwise it stays this almost cartoonish, faceless evil organization that only exists to churn out more and more deadly escape rooms. It feels a bit like the evil claw guy from Inspector Gadget. The first one felt weak, but maybe could have worked as the entry point of an at least pretty good thrillogy. The one thing a good villain needs is a good motive. And so far, the only motive I have seen in the theatrical release was money. That's cheap. Have Zoey and the Puzzle Master go into a battle of wits. And have the god damn balls to kill off Ben or Amanda for good. It annoys me how much potential has been wasted by corporate decision-making. They only care about making it easy, making it simple and tame enough so that as many people as possible can watch it. And all that does is sanding off all the edges of an otherwise interesting idea. Sorry about this long rant. TL;DR: Extended cut is better. Could've been an above average movie series with a bit more context. Ended up being a forgettable mess that still works better than the first one.
Loved this comment, haven’t fully seen the second one myself wondering is it a completely different movie all together or just a different ending?? Respect so much that you stated spoilers here on out in your comment before i read all of it though! Shout out to you! That was hella rad. 👍🏻
I just watched the second movie and totally agree. The puzzlemaster is a cheesy villain... And fits right within the cheesiness of the movie, which is something I grew to accept and even enjoy. The theatrical ending, though, doesn't provide anything past chock value. Besides that, it puts Minos in a position of being almost omnipotent, which just leaves the filmmakers in a dead end for a sequel.
The first one is better, the 2nd just added a story that we didn’t need to know
Maybe purely on the endings - but the theatrical cut brings back a character who died in the first one for no real reason, doesn't tell us anything interesting past "there is another escape room for Zoey to solve", and ends up making the villains feel impossibly omnipotent. The extended version at least has pay offs to the "what are the rooms themed around?" and "why weren't those winners killed?" questions, and adding the story gives it room to go somewhere for a sequel (beyond "oh wow, there is yet another escape room for Zoey to solve").
@@Dracinard I mean I loved the idea where they brought a “dead” character back in the movie since it was such a plot twist, also the past story that they added just seemed too much, the whole point of the movie was for zoey and Ben to go back and investigate.
It gives the movie way more depth the first ending and beginning scene was very simple I feel like if you watch it from the beginning it makes it way rounded rather than just this scene that won’t make sense if you didn’t watch the extended scene at the beginning of the movie
E and who wants to look at spoiled young females being sadistic when the world is over stocked with them today.
It's better
Today I saw the first version for the first time, I only knew the second one before, but I like the second one more it has an interesting plot twist that makes it exciting again I found the first one boring in contrast I didn't like it
That second one makes no sense. Glad they made the sensible decision and chose the original.
@@randomguy2048 Second one literally gives info about the origins and reasoning behind the games (both dad and the daughter are just pure psychopaths and the dad is also a money/power hungry bastard) and it also provides explanations about the other survivors, how does it not make sense? The Amanda ending is so dumb like why would they choose her to design new rooms and why/how would she even know how to do that anyway, like they don't show her having any knowledge or experience about these things. Also, it's never even mentioned in the first movie that she has a daughter if I'm not mistaken so yeah, that adds even more to how dumb it all is.. if it was at least Danny (that gamer/escape room enthusiast kid) I would understand, but Amanda? Where and how does she fit in all this lmao. The second ending also gives more of an opportunity for a 3rd installment with the psycho daughter now being free to do all her evil plans, the first is just like ''oh, they just got trapped again''. Glad they made the sensible decision of adding the second ending so we can have something to be satisfied about because the first one is just one big eye-rolling turn off.
where did you watch the first version?
Ya the 2nd one brought in characters that weren’t even in the movies lol like wtf made zero sense at all
**Accidentally enters the correct pin**
the alternative is good but I did enjoy the plot twist with the original but I do want a number 3
yess i agree with this! wish it just wasnt connected to Amanda out of all the people.
I knew I wasn’t crazy because I remember watching a dead meat episode with the alternate ending then when I watched the movie today it was the other ending and it had me confused as heck
Nah bro i just re watched it today and got the plane ending and im thinking i swear it was never this it was completely diffrent
@@davidskad7752i saw the movie like a year ago with the Claire ending and it seemd really cool and today i rewatched it and was hella confused as well bc of the plane ending
I am a Little biased seeing as I saw the first version in theaters and haven’t yet watched the digital release in full but I will say that with the first ending, I like how it tied all of the traps together and how it showed that Minos had the power to break even a soldier but from what I heard the digital release made the movie and what could potentially become a trilogy have a more sensical
Actually, tieing the story together with the diary is very lazy imo. Goes against 'show don't tell'. Also we haven't seen the daughter either. In the extended version we see the day of the girl, which also included scenes on the subway and in the taxi.
I thought i was hallucinating the original ending lmaoo cause i was like. I remember the girl that “fell” was behind it all.. and today when i watched the extended cut on 123 i was what is going on 😂 i was so confused
Just watched this version today. Actually preferred it
Thank goodness. I only saw the plane scene a few years back but recently saw the extended, and it really confused me. I thought I was going crazy! 😂
i prefer extendet it finally expands on minos
Ending with Amanda has better continuity. What would the point have been of the plane scene with the alternate ending? The theatrical ending ties in better with the first movie and sets up for a 3rd much better.
Amanda was brought back because her death was not shown, but she was not connected to MINOS in the first part because she was surprised when the guard thanked her for her service as a soldier.
I honestly like the theatrical version if we're being honest. With the alternate ending it's like someone said it feels like the alternate ending was the end all to the franchise. With the theatrical ending you don't know who's really behind Minos. I feel like Amanda was really used as bait in order for Zoey to become one of them. To me the alternate is good for if they are ending making more and the theatrical would definitely be good for if there's a 3. They should have maybe included certain parts from the alternate version into the 3rd if they make another.
I agree with you
That ending on the plane.... I love it!! Leads us into, hopefully, Escape Room 3. A plane ending would be reminiscent of a Sliders episode where the crew slide onto a plane and they have to escape the plane and the hangar before it bursts into flames.
I liked the second one better, but I feel like they should have combined the two. Show the second version first, then have a scene two month or so later of Ben getting healthy, and them flying on the plane to lead into the first ending
The worst part is that the alternative ending and storyline are much, much better than what we ended up getting😂
I saw the first version today on TV but missed the start, so I went online to watch it and basically ended up with half a new movie. 😂 I say both are confusing a bit, but the twist ending with Zoey feels the best. Idk if they had the airport scene in the extended version when at the start Zoey ditches last second. I can only imagine Minos as trying to get her onto the plane game for this long, so that ending was satisfying. That is true that I was questioning from the very second Amanda showed up why in hell would they ask this random woman who failed to design puzzles. For Zoey it makes sense bit now for her. Also the story about her daughter meant nothing at all and felt like it was thrown together as a last ditched effort. Eventho Ben being hostage was better in that one. You really felt the connection between them. Then again, playing the "they got out another way and called the police on Minos" fell flat the second time. We already knew it won't work out. Now the weirdest thing in the extended version was why on Earth would you make a puzzle for the daughter to get out? Why leave that possibility in there?! Good twist and all but it also felt unsatisfying how they solved the last room with hacking. Zoey also saved Ben by cheating for the 2nd time. Why all these repetition of ideas? The rooms itself and the characters were great. I hope they figure out where they're headed in the 3rd movie, so it won't be as messy!
Chile i was like, am i in an alternate universe, I love the alternate ending. it makes perfect sense and the Amanda one sucks and i even said "if they come out with another one, i won't watch it because it doesn't connect" I just found this out, literally today!!
Pretty sure both endings kinda suck. At least the alternate has the orphan chick. The reg ending seemed so forced as if the alternate ending didn’t test well idk.
Fortunately I watched the alternate version 😌
I didn’t know there was two endings. I’ve watched this movie so many times on BluRay and in theatre so how did I not see the second ending
ngl, in my opinion both endings suck, I feel like the 1st was a little ''lazy'' and the 2nd just added more unnecesary story, but I prefer the 1st one since it has a better end to the movies and no start for a 3rd one.
the 2 end its better but the original its 1; for me they go keep 2 end for 3 film
when i watched it in 5theaters it was the ending with the plane and i just watched it again and it was different
Same
That boy is lucky!🍀 He’s so is very lucky. Keep him around.
We need a part 3
It’s so interesting to find out that this actually had two different ending, I do like the second one more however and it leads us to have a potential 3rd movie
NGL, I do see why the ending that most people have seen that isn’t the theatrical cut is the ending that’s used more, it’s just a heck of a lot better!
What's the background song from 5:40 - 6:10
I loved the first one but the second one did give more indepth to the situation
I would love to watch a version that has all the alternate versions and deleted scenes
she’s like the other realm version of me if i never healed from childhood trauma lol, you know how there’s infinite realities versions of yourself, this is the one version of me after what they put me through in 2020 lol
Is the guy at the end the one who saved Rachel or the one who fell off the ladder
The alternative ending I found to be horrible, they made the right decision going with the original one.
I saw the first film last week and just finished watching second film tonight. I was literally screaming " no don't get on the plane!" Then watching alternative ending on KZhead and just ended up very confused!!
In my opinion, the second ending gave a great explanation as to why there were other "champions" while the theatrical ending made Amanda's survival unnecessary. It takes away the suspense from seeing these characters try to survive and beat the rooms. If and when they decide to make a sequel, whose to say the next character really isn't dead.
curiosity may have flatlined the cat, but i’m not a cat, that’s where you went wrong!
Listen babes I just want a mf movie where Zoe has to deal with her fear of planes 🙃 at the end of escape room 1 they made Zoe and Ben solidly plans of buying tickets and flying to Minos where they’d get into another plane escape room without knowing. I want to see that story play out. I don’t give a fuck abt the new girl and the alt ending omfg
Thats the beginning of the episode. It starts with amanda killing her mom in a sauna escape room. Then zoey gets on the plane, you see how some flight attendant from Milos checks them in. Into a fake plane or something. But walking through the tunnel, zoey gets a panic attack. And returns. The flight attendant (and the people who are watching along) are dissapointed.
Wait! What? Why there's alternatives what's the point😅
ben:zoey what happening?sh**
some parents truly be your #1 enemies, they’ll be your first bully, your first heartbreak, & your first offender…. then be like: “i dOnT kNoW wHy mY cHiLd iS LyK tHaT” …sure jan!
Still waiting for escape room 3 ❤️
yOU WANNA BET SHE STILL LIVED. LML
When I saw it in theaters I had the first ending
I watched the two movies on Hulu which was has the Amanda ending but when I watched with my boyfriend he used some back hand website and it was Claire
woah!
The 2nd version with Claire was better. There were 2 versions of the movie not just 2 endings. Amanda being tied into the 2nd movie making escape rooms didnt make much sense but Claire's involvement was more sensible.
You know, if the escape rooms we saw in both movies were the _censored_ versions, I'd hate to see what the originals were like.
Sin duda alguna el segundo final esta mucho mejor, xq en la primera estan involucrado de alguna forma a personas que nada que ver gente que nl tendría nada q hacer alli x eso el final de la primera película donde hacen el simulacro del avión me pareció muy raro el involucrar a mas personas que solo el grupo "selecto" para los juegos, sin duda alguna me quedp con la segunda version me parece la mas acertada aunque no deja un final abierto 😢
I thought I was dreaming about the other ending
to think this version of me was an option & i still remained pretty kind, & yet they keep testing me with spiritual attacks as if this version of myself doesn’t exist in another realm & the shift can easily be made lol…
I thought i was dreaming 😅
#1 is is basically Final Destination....
i would have been the friend who didn’t go with them & continued living a normal life thinking… “ah! another set of fake friends… i’m not surprised” whole time they were getting swallowed up by sand on a play beach 😂 with me as the driver, we would have never ended up in this area! i have a guide greater than a gps!
I thought second was Orphan lol
Call me crazy, I prefer the first ending 😅
People are divided on which ending they prefer. Would you imagine if they made 2 movies with 2 different timelines? lol? Profit!
No, I thought it because COVID 19 pandemic so they make it simplerer. 2 plot twists at the same time. Alternate ending is more like a mini sequel.
is the movie also different for both alternative ending?
Nmms vi la misma película en ambas versiones, me puse a investigar por que estaba confundido y juré que me había vuelto loco, no tenía idea de que eran dos versiones
Idk the first one seems a little dumb because it makes Minos seem omnipotent. They mind controlled her or hypnotized her? Like wtf💀really out of place. The second ending is better, but the twist still isn’t good tbh.
They should've gone with the plot twist ending.
Amanda was in the cage of water with Ben and Zoey
Honestly....I loved the first one, one of my top 10 favorite movies. But the sequel was not the best, the acting was great but the storyline was awful and rushed to quickly and the escape room puzzles were goofy at best. I would have preferred this alternate ending to the one we got. I hope they make a third one and really take their time in making it to get the feeling back of the first one...
There’s another room where it fills up with water I’m trying to find it
That's part of the first ending before they're on the flight back
@@UrDuzoh sorry 😂
on netflix its first one
Wait who is the girl on the alternate ending??
Why isnt Amanda in the ending?
I only liked the the theatrical release version of the ending because of Amanda’s appearance
Amanda didnt died
omg gad i was loosing my mind i watched this mouvie 2 times the first with the og ending and i loved it so i decidet to watch it again with a friend but i was so confused i didnt remember any of that heponing only after researching about it i understood
I Am Sorry Buht I Want A Zoey Vs Claire I Wonder How They Could Do It😭😭😭
Wth I'm actually so confused 🤡
WTF?
who cares 4 reasl
The Amanda reveal & plane ending was the better one. Noone cares about this girl we only met until the end of the movie
So trash
