coming! Three years ago, with a cost of 17 million, the film, which garnered more than 300 million at the global box office, was finally ushered in a sequel. Let us see what will happen to this family with a strong sense of reproduction in the end of the world.

The book picks up the last time, although the invading monsters have been dealt with, but the home is destroyed, the father sacrificed heroically, and the surviving mother is still forced to lead the three siblings on the road to escape from home. In addition to facing external threats including monsters, people who go out of their homes must always be alert to time bombs within the team that may go off at any time - the uncontrollable behavior of individual members. Sure enough, just like the parents who knew the end of the world and still wanted to conceive and give birth, the three children of his family obviously inherited the characteristics of their parents, and each of them was an expert in doing things, which made the audience tremble. Only in this way can we prepare enough horror material for the audience that people can't leave the screen for a moment.

First of all, this film well continues the advantages of the previous atmosphere master, and silence has been instilled in the audience as a convention from the very beginning. But it is not limited to the monotonous description of the law of "noise = death", but extends the danger to the distorted human society after the collapse of the order. As described in the novel "World War Z", the final destruction of human civilization is not necessarily the direct invasion of unknown creatures. The advent of monsters brings killing, and more importantly, breaks the shackles of law and morality, the darkness of human nature. The face was completely stimulated in despair, and the selfish desire of human beings who lost their restraint became the butcher knife that finally swung towards themselves. This is not only reflected in the survivors who lurked in the port and fell into outlaws in the film, but also reflected in the mouths of the islanders, the tragic experience of 2 of the 12 ships prepared by the government for the evacuation of the people.

From a further perspective, the dangerous actions of different members of the protagonist's family that violate the rules of survival are also an impact on order. Although, they may be lucky to find a paradise in the end, but from the perspective of human civilization, the risk and price are not something we can afford. It can be seen that order may sometimes be a more critical factor than resources for the survival of civilization.

The wonderful part of this film is also its transmission of perception. In the previous film, there was the silent pain of the mother hiding from the monster when she gave birth and when the sole of her foot was pierced by a nail. In this film, the eldest son is caught by the beast. Uncontrollable pain when injured leg. This time, the child naturally did not have the patience of an adult. No matter how his mother comforted him, the eldest son wailed hysterically, which naturally attracted monsters following the sound. After all, it is the instinctive reaction of human beings. The pain is accurately transmitted to the audience through the expressions of the actors. The pain that cuts through my skin also makes my nerves tense, and it is quickly brought into the first monster attack.

But in addition to the excellent use of skills, the logical loopholes in this film are still the same as the previous ones, which have become the focus of everyone's complaints. The eldest daughter and the eldest son's repeated and repeated acts of murder make me sweat every time. After experiencing the life and death of so many relatives, they can't have snacks? And monsters can't swim, and the information that the ocean can block monsters is also unacceptable. If this is true, there must be many surviving humans on so many islands in the world. At least the US Pacific Fleet in Hawaii should be unscathed. How long will the counterattack take?

In general, as a popcorn movie with a unique selling point, the finished product of this movie is still ok, recommended, not for collection.
