Der Schacht 2

After having enjoyed part 1, I was looking forward for this one but got hugely disappointed.

Inspite of too many questions n almost no answers, the first was was really impressive n captivating.

Expected some answers n a satisfying ending from part 2, but the makers didn't show anything new, in fact more questions are left unanswered, same things from part 1 are included, nothing new or thrilling stuff added in this one.

The suspense, the dreadful atmosphere, the dark comic, etc which were there in part 1 is all missing in part 2.

Mayb the makers are short of ideas of how to conclude the film.

The first movie was great, an original idea well executed that is beyond a movie, is a psychological study of human behaviour. The second one holds the interesting premise, but, unfortunately, as most sequels do, it wasnt able to achieve the same results. Great and well known actors helps, but they cannot move away the feeling that writters/producers/director were just out for the money, pushing too hard to make a movie that was ordered and not artistically created. The main problem here are the giant plot holes that end up disrespecting the original work. Somethings are meant to be a unity, not a franchise.

Perempuán tries to survive the laws of the jungle, as the platform, the food source for all the inmates inside the prison continues to fall, the source of life for everyone.

I had all but forgotten about the first film, but I remember enjoying it, my hopes were high. Twenty minutes in, I was wondering how on Earth the films score was so low, forty minutes in I was questioning why it was as high as 5.

The first half an hour or so, I really enjoyed, the dynamic between Perempuán and Zamiatin was great, sadly it all fall apart after that, the whole story of politics and society just didn't work, it became a poor art house film, too showy, lacking wny content.

The whole gravity thing, honestly by that point, I totally lost it, I didn't have a clue what was going on. The ending was a total let down.

Good start, shocking after that.

5/10.

No sensible plot. No nothing. Just bunch of nonsense. Halfway into the movie I can't help but wondering what this movie is about. And after I finished the movie, I still can't figure out what this movie is about.

As the person who likes The Platform 1/El Hoyo very much, this sequel is very disappointing.

I understand that maybe the writer or the director want a more cinematic movie. But can't you make one with a real plot? Not like this one. Wtf is this.

Do not waste your time watching this movie. Highly anticipated but also highly disappointing. I waited days to watch this and I'm on of the first 59 people who gave stars. I watched this the second it's released. But damn I'm so disappointed lol.

I don't think this film is for the average movie enjoyers such as myself. Even though the first movie ending left a lot of questions unanswered, I liked it. This sequel is of no difference. IMO, first movie showed us the consequences of capitalism and this one shows that socialism is no better. But where is the story in this? Where are the answers to the "normal" questions the fans had? Nothing was revealed. I'm disappointed. May be a sociopolitical expert can interpret it better than me. But for me, I needed some closure or answers and none were offered.

On a postive note, acting was good, nice plot to covey the intended message, not boring.
