O Poço 2

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".....

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.

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.

This could have been a very good movie. About three-quarters of the film was brilliant, filled with meaning and powerful metaphors, much like the first movie. The character arcs were compelling. However, the last part is absolute trash. While you could attempt to draw meaning from the chaotic final segment, the sad truth is that it feels like a forced attempt to meet certain Netflix requirements. This results in a disjointed and out-of-place segment that leads to an ending that ultimately goes nowhere.

Still, I think it was worth watching, at least for the first half, especially if you are a fan of the first movie. The early brilliance somewhat makes it a worthwhile experience, even if it doesn't fully deliver in the end.
