Featured reviews
The problem with this movie is that it shouldn't be a movie. If this was a show with a proper start (like the first movie), an interesting twist with character development (like the 2nd movie) and a finale (a potential 3rd movie) it would've been a straightup banger. But because it's not a complete story, leaves too much story out and has no proper direction to go in other than the characters in both movies sharing the same goal of reaching a safe location.
Things they could've done to make it better:
What I liked about the movie:
I feel like it had a lot of potential and hype but didn't deliver since both movies were extremely mediocre in the end.
Things they could've done to make it better:
- Made a 12 episode show out of it instead with a start and ending;
- More interesting character progression;
- More backstory;
- More interesting villain(s).
What I liked about the movie:
- Concept is good;
- Lots of suspension;
- Great locations;
- Good videography.

Never saw the first one before seeing this so I have nothing to compare it to. Unless you count about 100 other similar movies and TV shows. This is a mixture of "see", "A Quiet Place" and a few others. Not very original, which is the first issue with the movie.
The other issues are some of the characters which are not sold so well, acting need some work. The CGi/FX is not good, and I think the music score could have been a lot better to sell several scenes. I also think this is not creepy enough i.e. The directing is not on point.
With those negatives out of the way this is still a decent watch. The Spanish is fairly easy to understand and they speak English in many scenes so language is not an issue. Not that this movie really need you to understand everything language-wise but just so you know. The storyline is interesting enough, and the pacing is great. I think this can get a cult following and I would not be surprised if they do a few more of these, set in other locations.
I give this a generous 6/10, and I think the movie is worth your time, But don't expect anything great.

The production and acting are not that bad, that's the good news, the bad: the story unfolding is a total bore besides some action sequences here and there, which are okay but nothing remarkable. Somewhat the whole affair reminds me of a mediocre episode of The Walking Dead, one of those last few seasons. In short: Bird Box: Barcelona is no match for the original starring Sandra Bullock, which is a very suspenseful movie with some strong emotional scenes. But this one is simply one of those fast produced mass products that will be forgotten fast and fall (rightfully) into the void of all those trash movies produced for streaming services these days. A legit sequel to the original one? No. Just a cash grabber aiming at the Spanish speaking audience. Final verdict: solid produced boredom.
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.
Not sure what I watched or why.
1. There is no one to root for. It is hard to have a movie where there is no one to care about or root for. It removes all the stakes. There is no true protagnoist and you spend the movie watching random characters appear on screen then die.
2. The 'twist' does not help the movie but starts it down the frustrating path.
3. Stupidity. All you need to to to survive is close your eyes, that simple. You could VERY EASILY open your eyes for a split second to see where you are going and close them again. Just because you open your eyes does not mean you have to keep them open, looking around, and do not react when the 'creature' is near. These are experienced survivors yet they are making first day mistakes for no reason at all outside of this being a bad movie.
4. The acting is surprisingly good.
5. The storyline/plot is stupid, not really explained ,with story being borderline criminal.

- TriviaMichelle Jenner (Dr Liliana) also stared as Keila in Berlin, the Netflix Money Heist spin-off series.
- GoofsIt is not necessary to take a cable car to the Montjuic Castle. You can easily get there by several roads and walking paths.
And it is not a remote place at all. They don't say where the main quest starts, but is seems to be somewhere within l'Eixample part of Barcelona. From the farthest point in l'Eixample, to the north, it would be less than a three hour walk to get to the castle.
