The Forever Purge

POSITIVES…

  • Fans of the Purge franchise will find a lot to like about this installment. 

  • Those who like peaking into dystopian realities will find some interesting stuff here. 

  • Arguably is the scariest and most intense entry to the series. 

  • Day after “the purge” scenes of confusion that leads into the “forever purge” was a good build up to the rest of the narrative. 

  • Once it kicks in, the story for this one is pretty engaging in a non-stop thriller kind of way, that you’ll want to see how they conclude it. 

  • Good ensemble cast which includes Ana de la Reguera, Tenoch Huerta, Josh Lucas, Cassidy Freeman, Alejandro Edda, Leven Rambin, and Will Patton. 

  • Movie just wouldn’t be as entertaining if it wasn’t for it’s solid cast, their interactions with each other, and their reactions to what’s going on. 

  • That one scene in El Paso Texas that looks shot like one continuous take, gives you a fun take on what an amusement ride for The Purge could look like. 

  • Guessing the type of weapon just based on hearing the gunshot. How twisted is that? 

  • “Speaking english! Translate!” LOL 

  • I appreciated the social political commentaries that this story had. Cautionary tale indeed.

NEGATIVES…

  • While the idea for this franchise is fascinating, it’s still a flawed concept that lends itself to questions it can’t seem to answer, and thus ruins that suspension of disbelief when watching this in one form or another. 

  • Honestly, it could have been more violent, more chaotic, and more traumatic. Despite it’s attempt at horror, it’s still too tame for a concept like this. 

  • Fake out jump scares. Meh. 

  • Has that bit of predictability since it follows some familiar plot tropes and cliches. 

  • Plot conveniences caused by stupid character decisions. Yeah. Still in this movie. 

  • Although they roughly touched on it here, I still wished they showed more of what the day after the purge actually looks like. 

  • The untranslated Spanish language spoken might bother some people.
