Bird Box Barcellona

I was really looking forward to this, and whilst it's an okay thriller, it's got alot to live up to and fails to hit the mark.

The storyline is clever, acting is good, however it feels after watching it that the actual premise of the story is quite weak, and was infact carried by the actors of the first one, in particular Miss Sandra Bullock.

I will admit that it was good to see another scenario outcome of the outbreak, and the city of Barcelona was a good decision, the last 5 minutes of the film kinda made me want another sequal, but all in all an extremely mediocre film that's ridden on the coat tails of its predecessor.

Funnily enough, I already knew from the beginning that this film couldn't be nearly as good as the first part. I was actually looking forward to it because I found the subject matter from the first part exciting. However, my fears turned out to be true and the film is extremely boring. Somehow it still has a fascination for me, because the seen was excitingly tried to implement, but it is just never exciting. The actors are all ok and completely mediocre, no one stands out from the crowd like Sandra Bullock did. I think it's a pity that they didn't take the chance to create a film on par with the first part. Because of all the boredom and the almost 2 hours running time, I can unfortunately only give the film 3/10 stars. According to my rating scale this means "not worth seeing". Everyone must decide for himself whether he does not prefer to watch something else in these 2 hours 🤷‍♂️.

I didn't know where to start first but I would like to say that there is a difference between the movie in 2018 and this one.there is a big difference 2018 made sense and said it all on its own Everything in this episode was so complicated and there was no logic There weren't any good scenes except for a few death scenes.boring and a waste of time there was no need for them to make this movie the first series of movies is always better I always passed after the last 50 minutes of the movie because I was bored If you have time, all I want to say to the friends who read the comment is watch it. If you don't have time you will regret watching it thank you.

So while this film isn't quite as good as the first, its not a bad follow up from Spain to the 2018 original US film by any stretch.

There are some instances of bad CGI and the story progression to the overall universe was quite minimal and these two factors certainly explain some of the lower reviews by critics and viewers alike, but overall I'd award this film a solid 65.

It does drag on a little and the conclusion was a bit predictable but overall I was satisfied by how they deepened the lore and story with the additions they made. I won't get into spoiler territory here but I liked how they told another story which coincided with the events from the first film and told from another part of the world. I'll certainly be in the circle of people interested to see what the next addition to this franchise will be - I think there's a solid cult classic in the making here.

65/100, would recommend.

Overall, it's well acted, but Birdbox: Barcelona is lacking the spark to make it interesting. There are a few highlights, but the majority is rather plodding and lacks the tension that should keep the audience engaged. The sets are well put together and Barcelona is convincingly transformed into a post-apocalyptic shadow of itself. The lack of plot elements to keep the pace results in this being more Boredbox than Birdbox, just a shadow of the gripping original.

Such a shame. I enjoyed the original Birdbox and loved the idea of seeing it played out from another angle, in a city I know so well.
