Jun 18, 2019
In 1997, a major war between the U.S and Russia is continuing and the whole of Manhattan has been converted into a giant free roaming maximum security prison. When Air Force One is hijacked and crashes into the island, the president is taken hostage by inmates. Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), a former Special Forces soldier turned criminal, is recruited to retrieve the president in exchange for his own freedom.
Dark toned action adventure spawning a cult franchise and heavily inspired the Metal Gear Solid franchise. (I mean its lead character is snake plissken)
co-written, co-scored and directed by John Carpenter.
It stars Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Donald Pleasence, Ernest Borgnine, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, and Harry Dean Stanton

I love choose your own adventure stories and games, so bringing that to a movie was such an interesting idea.
The system was very smooth and didn't lag. It was wonderful and drew me in.
I see some people complaining about it being repetitive.. .but it's a choose your own adventure story, so that kind of goes with it. You need to replay it to get the different endings, and if you mess up, you get sent back. That's part of the joy, in my opinion.

I didn’t read the synopsis so I wasn’t entirely sure what it was going to be about. I really need to start.
This wasn’t bad. I liked some aspects and it was different to a lot of other stories out there.
I'm not the biggest fan of mythology. I don't mind books set in that time but this wasn't quite up my street. It was dystopian-y, paranormal-y and slightly romance-y, which sounds like it would be but I found it a little strange.
I have to admit it was easy reading but it wasn't for me. I don't think I'll be continuing the series.
