Atom User Reviews for Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula
Nice follow-up to Train to Busan!
It was an amazing movie. The cast was great and the plot was really good. This movie is a must see!!
Good sequel to the original movie. Don’t watch the prequel animated one though. That one sucks.
Was really good but long ending, overall a really great sequel
Epic ending. Worth it.
Not the best, not the worst. Entertaining but very other zombie movies made me feel more on edge. Not a must see but not terrible. Train to Busan was better
Boring
Metacritic
Peninsula suffers the same type of sequelitis that suggests a second entry must be more/bigger/louder than its predecessor. Where Train to Busan’s two hours were impeccably paced and every frame meticulously used, Peninsula spins its wheels in between its admittedly impressive key set pieces.
While it’s undeniably a sophomore slump in this franchise, Yeon’s skill with action keeps it from dipping too far that we should give up hope he can find the track again in another installment.
Whereas most of the movie takes place in a grubby, blue-tinged murk — a blend of hokey day-for-night lensing and virtual set extensions that’s badly suited for home viewing, but might look frightening in darkened theaters — day breaks just in time for a big, Michael Bay-style climax. The film has clipped along at a reasonably brisk pace until this point, only to downshift into a laughably protracted slow-motion finale, full of gratuitous lens flares and overwrought strings.
