Notes

My quick rating - 5.4/10. This sequel takes a familiar setting and attempts to ramp up the stakes with new layers of tension and moral complexity. A mysterious leader has taken control of the platform system, and survival becomes even more precarious, especially when eating from the wrong plate spells immediate death. The psychological and physical struggles of the characters are put front and center, forcing us to confront our own ideas of solidarity and survival. While the film attempts to capture the brilliance of its predecessor, it falls short in both depth and execution. There’s little explanation for newcomers, so seeing the first movie is almost a requirement to grasp the full weight of the situation. Where the original was a disturbing, thought-provoking reflection on human nature, this sequel feels more like a hollow echo. It moves along solidly for about two-thirds, offering disturbing insights into the brutality of the system and human desperation. But just as it seems to be building momentum, the plot takes a sharp detour, losing the tightness and intensity that made the first Platform so engaging. Though not as entertaining or impactful as the original, this flick still delivers some chilling moments. It’s a disturbing psychological thriller with horror elements, appealing to those willing to peer into the abyss of humanity’s darkest corners. However, the film’s collapse in its final act derails much of its potential, making it a less cohesive and satisfying experience overall.
