“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even if it was rather harmless, to be honest, I had a rather hard time to care about the damned thing though. Indeed, even if it was to be expected, the sto” read more
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a solid cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out.

“Obviously, since this sequel had been another major critical flop, I wasn’t expecting much from it but, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out anyway.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I was positively surprised by ‘Bullet Train’, I thought I might as well check it out.

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was starring Josh Hartnett, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be a rather chaotic movie, that's for sure, but I think its randomness was its biggest asset but also its biggest drawback as w” read more

What was it about?
Kora and surviving warriors prepare to defend Veldt, their new home, alongside its people against the Realm. The warriors face their pasts, revealing their motivations before the Realm's forces arrive to crush the growing rebellion.
My two cents:
Well, once again, even though the critics for this movie were rather abysmal, I don’t think it was so bad. Indeed, in my opinion, this follow-up was neither better or worse than its predecessor and, at least, you have to admit that Zack Snyder is actually pretty consistent. Above all, what amazed me the most was how Snyder managed to get 4 hrs of running time from this material? Seriously, I don’t think it was really so bad, it was more that it felt so empty somehow. In this case, this village and these warriors had 5 days before the enemy would attack them and, out of these 5 days (which was ridiculously low), they took like 2 or 3 days to harvest wheat but it was rather pathetic. I mean, the whole idea was that the harvest would supposedly protect them but it was certainly not convincing. Of course, at some point, Atticus Noble gave the order to blast this whole village regardless of the harvest making their whole plan completely meaningless. In a similar fashion, sure, in ‘Seven Samurai’, a handful of skilled warriors could win against an army of bandits, but, in this case, they were facing an intergalactic super power would could blast them from out of space so I’m afraid the whole concept eventually didn’t work from the very beginning. At least, I think that Sofia Boutella was actually better but I think it was mostly because she had so very little dialogues this time around (like everyone else actually). Eventually, the funniest thing is that they gave an open ending for a possible sequel but, to be honest, I wish that Snyder would drop this, even if it did sound quite promising at first.
My rating: 05/10
