The Purge

This weekend I saw a trailer for the third purge movie, The Purge:Election Year. When I saw this trailer I was very excited based on the fact I like the previous two movies. The first Purge was good and the second one, I thought, was even better. So, I am hoping that the consistency stays and the third is the best yet.

The first Purge movie follows a wealthier family who supports the annual Purge. The Purge is an event that happens every year that allows all crime, even murder, to be legal for 12 hours in order for people to have the release from not doing anything all year long. This is seen as a good thing for America who is a nation reborn, where crime is at an all time low because of this annual event. At the start of this purge we follow the events of what happens to a wealthier family who sells security systems for people who support the purge but do not partake in the event. Everything goes according to plan until the son of the family opens their doors to a stranger who is stuck outside during the purge. This leads to the family getting into a lot of trouble by preventing a group of purgers their kill that they legally have the right to have. This movie was a good one and left the door open for a sequel  that could and wound up being better

The second purge movie is called The Purge Anarchy. This purge follows a different path of a bunch of smaller stories of many people that get stuck outside during the purge and wind up crossing paths. I find this purge movie to be the better of the two because of all the action it has. In stead of being a wealthy family in a house, e get to follow the unlucky who get stuck outside or are the victims of being poor and have no security. We get to see what goes on outside during the purge and get behind the rag tag group of people who find each other to stay alive.

I enjoy the whole concept of the purge movies. It is a well thought story that can be taken a lot of different ways. They seem to take it different ways each time and that is what I enjoy about these movies. They have the same backstory but you have a different plot each time. I am excited for the third purge movie, The Purge: Election Year and I hope it is better than the last.
