I mean it's obviously scripted and not real. They can "evade" bear if they choose but there is no way the production crew would let them do that. Walk 50m in a random direction in the pit and then lie down and cover themselves with leaves and branches would have a 100% success rate of evading capture, but no way they would be allowed to do that.

Other than watching a bunch of unfit old incapable "celebs" wander around aimlessly not understanding what they are doing, there is not much to see here.

It's noise in the background while you do something else, I personally was baking some amazing food, good background noise.

Also as an aside, when did men become so pathetic and incapable of handling anything?

Well its basically all completely random, none of the challenges require any real skill the vast majority are just completely random. Im not sure who this is aimed at, there is no real drama, no real game show elements, just a bunch of unlikeable people who by the time you reach the end you couldnt care less who wins. There are too many people at the start to get any real interest in the characters without using editing that would make it blazingly obvious who is going to end up at the end.

I think most interestingly though is that Netflix has decided that they want to be the evil corporation from the original Squid games, they though hey thats us we should lean into the soulless evil corp that wants to exploit desperate people. Yet this is where we are in the world now, little by little we have eroded and remaining semblance of ethics and this is what we are left with.

It's actually pretty good, not sure why there are so many angry negative reviews. It does seem like people want to have extreme views rather than balanced ones these days.

It's a light horror, more thought provoking and sad than a horror film. Don't expect to be scared, expect to be thoughtful and to be encouraged to think about your own mortality which is the most distressing part of this film.

It's reasonably well acted, like all movies in this genre it requires a suspension of disbelief but as long as you have that it is very watchable.

A solid 6/10 in the old school rating system here..
