The brain is really big

First of all, I think it is better than the first one.

Because if the first one really breaks the cycle, it can be seen as a finished work, but nothing is explained. It has nothing to do with nitpicking. You should explain why this cycle is the most basic. It can't be like death is coming!

But there are too many mistakes and too many bugs.

One, why one of Ryan wanted to kill the other, and later failed to send the heroine back to the universe where the mother exists in the restart version. Shouldn't the 12345 heroine come back to the universe with two Ryans?

Second, originally thought that the heroine's mother was a boss or something, "resurrected from the dead" just to tell her daughter to look forward?

Three, so why on earth did Ryan and the others stay idle and build a machine that slows down time?

Fourth, Danielle of the universe where mother exists helps the heroine. Although they may get the keys for the hero, the heroine turns around to send people into the loop for experiments? [Eggs give me this feeling, maybe I guess wrong, if there is a third one]

Fifth, so there is a situation where the same person exists at different time points and different time and space at the same time. This was originally only a real time travel in the loop, so why has the heroine never been in this situation? ? ? I have been expecting that the last time the mask was uncovered was the heroine herself, and it turned out to be the hapless doctor. This crew really made full use of the passersby from the previous movie and all returned.

Sixth, there is another question. If it is a loop of human intervention, why can the loop be lifted if a murderer is found?

So it's much more fun than the first one, because no matter whether the tail has bugs or not, at least it has a head!

    The afternoon show after class. Frankly speaking, I didn’t expect to dig deeper into the already full story, and the director has done a good job in adjusting the overall style (the first film has more horror and thriller styles, but this one has a larger proportion of black humor. , personal feeling). It's a pity that the supporting characters are all small coffees. Basically, the performance can only be said to be average. The main thing is that the heroine plays the best role. On the whole, it is more like a tribute to "Back to the Future". Compared with the first one, it is a pure "killer" horror film, so it is not surprising that this one has a lot more "joy". The love line is better than the love line. Disadvantages: The pits are not filled, and the details and some logic can't really stand deep. The overall three and a half stars, after all, the viewing experience of a year and a half ago plus this time, I still like this small-cost series very much.

    One and a half stars, this time it’s no longer a thriller. Comedy has more elements. It combines the "loop" of the previous episode with "Back to the Future 2" (a nesting of "Back to the Future 1"). The protagonist actually doesn't care about who the murderer is, but chooses a path that belongs to her own dimension, which is also a clear reference to the "Back to the Future" series. However, the emotional relationship between her and her mother only ends at the end. As for why there is a new killer? Why the killer still wears that outfit, these details lack a reasonable explanation, which is quite fooling the audience.

Happy Death Day 2U quotes

  • [Tree, Carter, Ryan, Samar and Dre gather at the lab. Tree explains the situation to them]

    Tree Gelbman: [to Ryan] Listen to me carefully. I need to stay here in this dimension. Okay? So just close the loop.

    Ryan Phan: Look, we have no idea how this even happened in the first place.

    Tree Gelbman: Well, you're all brainy science people, right? So you'll figure it out.

    Samar Ghosh: You realize we're messing with things we have no business touching, right?

    Tree Gelbman: [sharply] Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you built the big dumb thing! Just... just please do me a favor and try to figure this out, okay? Please.

    Ryan Phan: Look, this is gonna be a trial-and-error situation. We have to rule out every variable in order to narrow down the correct algorithm that will close the loop.

    Tree Gelbman: Okay.

    Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: It's days, maybe weeks of work. And if what you're saying is true, there's no way to keep a record of our progress.

    Tree Gelbman: [cluelessly] I'm not following.

    Samar Ghosh: [shakes his head, approaches the board] Okay. Um... say we test, like...

    [using a marker, Samar circles several equations]

    Samar Ghosh: ...dozens of variables. By the end of the day, the loop will reset, right?

    [Tree nods]

    Samar Ghosh: So everything we earned gets...

    [Samar erases the equations he circled]

    Samar Ghosh: ...erased. There's no way for us to track our progress simply because we just don't remember anything we learned.

    Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: And we'll be back to square one.

    Tree Gelbman: [throws up her hands in frustration] Great.

    [Tree sinks into a chair, hopelessy]

    Tree Gelbman: I'm screwed.

    [silence falls]

    Carter Davis: Wait, no, I got it.

    [Carter stands and approaches the board]

    Carter Davis: Okay, you said everything resets but your memory, right?

    Tree Gelbman: Yeah.

    Carter Davis: All right, well, then... you're just gonna have to be a living record.

    Tree Gelbman: Wait, you mean memorize everything?

    Carter Davis: Yeah.

    Samar Ghosh: That's genius.

    Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: Yeah.

    Tree Gelbman: No. No, no, no, no. That's not genius. I'm not a scientist. And hello? I mean, you do realize there's a killer after me, right? That means I'm gonna have to die over and over again until you guys figure out how to close the loop.

    Samar Ghosh: [hesitantly] I mean, I guess you could just kill yourself before they find you.

    Tree Gelbman: [sarcastically] Wow. Another genius idea.

    Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: Um, better than being chased by some crazy guy in a baby mask.

    [Tree wears a desperate expression]

    Carter Davis: I mean, do you have a better idea?

    Tree Gelbman: [sighs] I knew you were gonna say that...

    [for the next days, the gang works hard to find the correct algorithm. Tree does her best to memorize the complicated equations. With every try, the screen gives the same message "sequence failure". Every day, Tree watches Danielle and Carter kiss, and she is filled with jealousy. To her delight, she spends time with her parents. She finds creative ways to kill herself - dropping a toaster into a bath, drinking a liquid cleaner, skydiving without a parachute, jumping into a woodchipper, jumping from a clocktower. With every passing day, she grows weaker]

  • [Tree spots Lori and Dr. Gregory Butler. They appear to have a heated argument. As Lori starts walking away, Gregory grabs her hand]

    Lori Spengler: [angrily shakes off Gregory's hand] Don't touch me!

    Gregory Butler: Sorry.

    [Tree deduces that unlike in the original dimension, in this dimension Lori - not her - is Gregory's secret lover]
