Saw 3D

On Friday, I watched Saw 3D and Vue Cinema, Festival Place, Basingstoke.

As a brutal battle wages over the legacy left behind by Jigsaw, a group of people who survived the deadly games gather to get support from fellow survivor turned self-help guru Bobby Dagen...but Dagen harbours a dark secret that will unleash  a new wave of terror.

I thought this movie was great and certainly a lot better than the previous 3 movies (as much as I like them, I tended to watch it for the traps and not the story line) and barring the final trap Dagen has to save someone from the traps seemed to be quite simple.

I'm not so sure the movie really warranted the 3D treatment, but it seems so many movies are jumping on this bandwagon...although this move there seems to be no choice as it whether you would like to watch it either 2D or 3D, which I think may lose it a lot of watchers as some people are unable to watch movies in 3D, or feel they are too expensive.

Something else of note is that Chester Bennington from Linkin Park is also in this movie and is in a trap where he has to truly put his back into the role!  Don't worry, I'll say no more on that for people who have not watched the movie yet and want to...

The movie was a good watch, and there was an interesting twist at the end, although if you think about it, it makes sense that would have happened.

Is this "game over" for the franchise?  They say yes, but so many franchises have been killed off and come back (Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street instantly spring to mind...) so I say it is a case of never say never, although this would be a good place to stop.

Saw 3D is rated 18, only viewable in digital 3D and in cinemas now.
