Dave Made a Maze Trailers

Dave, an artist who has yet to complete anything significant in his career, builds a fort in his living room out of pure frustration, only to wind up trapped by the fantastical pitfalls, booby traps, and critters of his own creation. Ignoring his warnings, Dave’s girlfriend Annie leads a band of oddball explorers on a rescue mission. Once inside, they find themselves trapped in an ever-changing supernatural world, threatened by booby traps and pursued by a bloodthirsty Minotaur.

While every film these days has CGI to either dazzle the audience or to save money on set design, this movie has a very limited set design and no discernible CGI except in the title sequence. It rides on acting and story. The set is gorgeous, even though it portraits a magical cardboard concoction. It in fact has become a character in the movie and a truly believable one at that. Truly a piece of art!

Every turn in this cardboard gem reveals another creative conundrum that must be dealt with by those trapped inside. A quirky,enjoyable and refreshingly different movie. I loved it.

Struggling artist Dave (Nick Thune) creates a cardboard labyrinth in his apartment. Trapped inside the maze (which, like the TARDIS, is larger on the inside than the outside), Dave enlists the help of several friends to find a way out.Dave Made a Maze is a love it or hate it kind of movie. Those who love it will be chin-stroking, tofu eating, bohemian cineastes who actively seek out art-house movies they consider too 'intelligent' or 'quirky' for mainstream audiences; those who hate it will be everyone else.Me? I hated it. The horrible hipster characters, the off-beat premise, the 'isn't it beautiful' aesthetic (No! it looks cheap and ugly): I found virtually every aspect of this film extremely irritating. Setting his movie in an other-worldly environment that obeys no rules, writer/director Bill Watterson has free rein do whatever the hell he likes, but the lack of a decent budget means that what he envisages always looks like a pile of garbage (because it is). Not that mega-bucks would have made much difference—the whole movie is one tiresome exercise in self-conscious wackiness that will seriously grate on the nerves. Unless you sport vintage clothes, thick rimmed glasses, and well-groomed facial hair. In which case, you'll love it (or at least pretend that you do).

This is one of the very few movies I saw the last 10 years I could enjoy from first to last minute and I had never the feeling that I know what I can see the next minute. This was a pure fantasy fun ride. This movie kept the fun and joy from first to last minuteHigh five is all I can say now
