The Platform 2
2024
6/10
This sequel debuted last week and I watched it last night on the road on Netflix.
I debated rewatching the first one to get caught up being it’s been 4 years since I saw it. I decided to read a plot synopsis of the first one. I highly recommend you do that before you watch this film if you don’t have time to rewatch the first one.
I’m not gonna spoil it, but the film starts out like the original and quickly goes into a different direction. A system of rules has been established amongst the people in the Pit on distribution of the food equally. I won’t go further but the main plot revolves around that premise.
We are given insight on how the people are chosen for the Pit. And shown how the Authority moves the prisoners from different levels. This gives the audience some theories on the location of the Pit.
A couple of characters from the first film have cameos.
The film ends just like the first, but there are some scenes that give some insight why.
When the end credits roll, continue watching, there are more scenes that introduce some major unexpected twists on what is actually going on.
They set it up for a “Platform 3”, hopefully it debuts soon.
Like the first film, it’s from Spain, Netflix has it dubbed in English.
Looking forward to it.
Synopsis
After a mysterious leader imposes his law in a brutal system of vertical cells, a new arrival battles against a dubious food distribution method.
