La Plateforme 2

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.

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".....

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 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.

To be blunt the film had me engaged and very interested for the first hour, but unfortunately it descended to a bizarre and confusing mess.

I enjoyed how the plot went in a different direction to the first and yet stayed similar, the dialogue and acting I thought was great and just overall it was interesting and left you wanting more. However, the more it went on it just became so messy and I feel as though the director was trying too hard to make the film "thought provoking" and quite "artsy".

I won't do any spoilers, but the ending especially just made zero sense. I had to google what the ending even meant and most critics also don't seem to know either, which speaks volumes. It's honestly such a mess! You can make a film thought provoking and have metaphors for life etc peppered throughout, but you have to incorporate it with a decent plot. And unfortunately this does not. It's just trying too hard at the end of the day and it falls very very flat and confusing.

In relation to the first movie, a few characters return throughout and there was definitely some scenes and dialogue that relate back to the first, which I really enjoyed.

Annoyingly I just can't get past how poor the ending really is. Nothing is answered and I feel as though I've wasted my time here. Directors and writers really need to stop trying to overdo this need to make movies in depth, thought provoking. If you're gonna do it, do it right. And this gets it wrong on so many levels (get it!)

5/10, because the first hour is really good. But the final half an hour completely ruins it!
