The sequel did not live up to the IP of the first one, and in my personal opinion, it is much better than the first one.
The shooting method is still the continuation of the success of the previous work. The advantage of the first-person perspective is that the sense of substitution is very strong, and the disadvantage is that it will greatly reduce the appearance of the actors (laughs).
In terms of plot, the routine of strange power and chaos is completely abandoned, and the authenticity is greatly enhanced. There are many twists in the plot, and the sense of suspense is very good. The emotional line of the male and female protagonists drags down the rhythm a bit, but it doesn't hurt. The characters have different personalities, and their different behaviors in the face of crisis are mostly logical. The atmosphere is created very well, and there is obviously a deeper sense of powerlessness and despair in the later part of the movie than in the previous work. The final ending is very scary, although the blood level is not high, but the horror degree is quite good.
I have roughly looked at the negative reviews on the Internet, and most of them are true from the perspective of technology. I think this is a bit tricky. First of all, isn't the greatness of top hackers lies in the black technology that surpasses the knowledge level of ordinary people? If measured by the limitations of known technology, the firewall of the military or police is impeccable in reality, but there are still top hackers who find loopholes and hack in. Furthermore, this is a movie, not a news report or a documentary, and there is artistic creation in itself. You can't demand it too much according to common sense in reality, otherwise, which of the so-called sci-fi disaster films can be established?
From a rational point of view, I think this is a good movie worth watching.
