El hoyo 2

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.

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.

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.

The Platform 2 attempts to build on the unique premise of its predecessor, but ultimately falls short of its predecessor's impact. While the first film delivered a gripping exploration of class struggle and human morality within a dystopian setting, the sequel feels like a rehash rather than an expansion of the original concept.

The sequel introduces new characters and rules, but they often lack the depth and development that made the original so compelling. The social commentary, which was sharp and thought-provoking in the first film, feels muddled and less impactful this time around. The pacing is uneven, with stretches that drag and moments that feel forced or contrived.

Visually, the film retains some striking imagery, yet it fails to evoke the same visceral tension that kept audiences on edge previously. Ultimately, "The Platform 2" feels unnecessary, as it doesn't add meaningful insights or innovations to the story. While fans of the original may appreciate returning to this world, the sequel serves as a reminder of how powerful the first film was-highlighting just how much it left to be desired in its follow-up.

Bang average... To be honest this should have been like Cube (1997) 1 and done (if anyone hasn't seen Cube and you liked the first one, go out of your way to find it, it's a brilliant film, TRUST ME! ).

This one is a bit strange in all honesty, I know the original was as well, but there was reason behind the rhyme. Plus the Biblical and societal comparisons were open to interpretation, depending on how you saw it, which is a bit lost in this one.

The first was a Seven or Eight out of Ten, but this one is bang, "middle of the road, right down the center Five out of Ten" average.

Its worth seeing if you have seen the first one, but you won't enjoy it as much. It's a completely different style and type of film, but I suppose it's still worth watching if you want to see "A SEQUAL".....
