Ever played a video game that involves the life timeline, where if your life ends, it's game over? Now imagine when your real life is tied to your survival in that video game and what makes ot even more difficult is that you must work as a team with other players and each of you have just three strands of lives.
This movie is a mixture of both comedy, suspense and breathtaking stunts. Filled with dangers and a whole multitude of hurdles where one simple wrong moves can spell doom. Even eating th wrong food which ordinarily is not harmful in real life.
This movie becomes my favourite comic/dangerous movie as it stars the likes of Dwayne Johnson and Kelvin Hart who could squeeze comedy out of the most dangerous situations in any movie. Their tantrums and arguments are so comic and they do not care what dangerous situations they are in and can argue anywhere.
When four students; Spencer, Anthony, Martha and Bethany found themselves hurdled up in the basement of their school to clean it up as penance for their various offences, they found an ancient video came cartridge and Spencer invited his friend Anthony to play with him, they also urged the two ladies to join them and after picking their various characters, they got sucked up into the game and they found themselves in a jungle. Almost immediately, Bethany lost her first stripe of lives, one out of three after being eaten by a giant hippo.
A non-player character by name Nigel Billingsy came over and drove them away while he told them the motive of the game. For the first phases of the game, Anthony and Spencer were at lodger heads until they found out they could not survive the game individually especially when they found Alex, who has been holed up in the game for about 17 years, alone.
When they decided to work as a team, they were able to subdue Van Pelt's men and use their various strengths and weaknesses to survive the game.
They succeeded as a result of teamwork, endurance and selflessness. They made sacrifices which is also a key factor for winning where teamwork is involved. Bethany once gave one of her lives to Alex when he lost all of his lives.
The courage they had to put aside their differences and work as a team to survive the game was very much vital.
