Netflix may be the butt of jokes because its Netflix original movies not only look cheap but are assembled according to a soulless algorithm for maximum appeal, however, sometimes, the streamer leaves viewers with The next hidden gem. 2019, platformIt’s a Spanish sci-fi thriller about a dystopian future prison built vertically, with food hanging down from hundreds of floors for the prisoners trapped inside. and clever writing that took everyone by surprise. five years later, this Platform 2 Debuts on streaming for the sole purpose of Just a reminder that the first movie was really great.
333 layers of hell
Platform 2 The story is set in the same vertical self-management center as the original, with the same concept of food falling from top to bottom, and each month, prisoners are randomly assigned to a different floor. As in the first film, there are factions among the prisoners, divided into two groups: those who only eat what they need to survive, and those who believe they can take what they want through force. It’s a visual way of presenting real-world class struggle in a sci-fi setting, full of violence, pain, and the kind of well-intentioned, well-intentioned people you’d expect, and that’s where I usually say “but there’s a twist.” , except here, there is no twist.
Perempuan, a woman who chose to join a self-management center as an act of atonement, is at the center of this. Platform 2find themselves caught in the middle of a simmering conflict between factions, complicated by the rise of a cult known as the “Anointed Ones” who believe in unity among prisoners, but through grotesque and brutal acts of violence to enforce. While the first film relied heavily on intense dialogue and a sense of discovery as the audience learned more about the brutal dystopia, the second film took a more visceral approach to delivering its message, and the story suffered as a result. .
Return trip
Much of it echoes the first film Platform 2as straightforward as “The Girl Is the Message,” although it fails to capture the high drama and tension of Goren’s journey deep into the prison complex. Perempuan launches a plan to break out of prison, but it’s ultimately revealed just how evil and manipulative the man behind the prison is, but we’ve seen this before, and it’s intended to be shocking. I haven’t seen a sequel this derivative since The Hangover 2;At least that time, the movie openly admitted that they were doing the same thing again, but since 22 Jump Street The satire about everything about sequels, none is as blatant as this one.
at the same time, Platform 2 Maybe not as good as the first one While far from the original, the escalating violence and social commentary still make for a decent viewing experience. While great science fiction reflects modern society through a futuristic lens, sadly, stories of class struggle have been relevant to us since humans first developed permanent homes. So while we’ve already seen the story, it’s still worth telling and fans of the original will probably enjoy Return Journey, but for everyone else, go check it out platform First.
Platform 2 Now streaming on Netflix.
