Riveting from start to finish. Read full review

Even without being compared to Train to Busan, Peninsula lacks the grounding to be able to stand alone. There’s never a dull moment, but there’s nothing to make a lasting impression, either. Read full review

Relentlessly episodic and missing the taut focus of the first film, Peninsula compensates with overkill, populating the screen with long-stretches of CGI action (Yeon’s background is in animation) including nighttime car chases and oodles of zombie splatter. Read full review

Director Yeon Sang-ho, who staged genuinely tense sequences in the first film, just seems suddenly out of his element here when expected to produce a grander action spectacle. Read full review

The sequel is a stab at world-expanding that veers off the rails as it reaches for dazzle over depth, rounding out the hit film series somewhere between a whimper and a bang. Read full review

The Film Stage Josh Lewis

By the time it reaches its broad, emotionally manipulative finale, it does have some refreshingly optimistic ideas about small, sacrificial gestures making a difference and that choosing emotion over logic while dooming us in other zombie movies is also what makes humanity worth saving in the first place.

The zombie sequences are strictly pro-forma; the undead are treated mostly as a nuisance rather than a genuine threat this time around, which is probably intentional. The car chases are debilitatingly fake-looking and try to make up for their flatness with speed, to little effect. Read full review

La trama no tiene relación alguna con su predecesora; sin embargo, sigue siendo una entretenida experiencia; está infravalorada.

Minhas expectativas eram acima da media por se tratar de um filme no mesmo universo do "train to busan", mas eu gostei do respeito pela primeira obra em não usar o titulo para chamar atenção e nem reverenciar o primeiro filme, trazendo personagens do mesmo apenas por fan service. InvésMinhas expectativas eram acima da media por se tratar de um filme no mesmo universo do "train to busan", mas eu gostei do respeito pela primeira obra em não usar o titulo para chamar atenção e nem reverenciar o primeiro filme, trazendo personagens do mesmo apenas por fan service. Invés disso, o diretor Yeon Sang-ho, junto ao segundo roteirista Ryu Yong-jae, decidiram explorar novas historia provenientes do mesmo universo sem desgastar a obra original.

Aqui, temos uma pegada mais enérgica, onde a ação corporal fala mais alto que o desenvolvimentos dos personagens. Não se enganem, há sim um desenvolvimento bacana, mas nada comparado ao primeiro filme. Acredito que o apelo dramático não tenha funcionado tão bem na maior parte dos momentos, por conta de pouco espaço de tela mesmo. É possível se emocionar com a morte de um personagem, mas ao menos deixe-o falar. Há poucos diálogos e isso pesa demais na reação que temos ao presenciarmos seu destino.

O ambientação da Peninsula está muito bem feita. Gostei muito do trabalho de iluminação, relacionado a luz lunar. A destruição, junto ao clima pós-apocalíptico da natureza tomando conta de tudo também tá legal. A fotografia é boa, assim como a OST, que me chamou atenção em alguns momentos. As cenas de ação são acima da media, resultado de um ótimo treino vindo de Kang Dong-won. Os momentos cômicos são ok, visto que o humor asiático nem sempre me pega - mas sim, funciona aqui. Gostei da subversão relacionada aos zombies serem menos perigosos a noite, dando mais folga para trabalhar com o filme a noite. Um quesito que me decepcionou bastante foi o CGI dos carros, que é bem perceptível. Não chegou a atrapalhar minha experiencia, por conta de minha tolerância quando a isso ser alta, mas poderia ser bem melhor.

O filme é ok. Me prendeu, conta com performances, personagens e ação acima da media.… Expand

Primero, no es una mala película de hecho, entretiene, pero pierde toda la atmosfera que hacia una gran película a la anterior. En la primera película se sentía una atmosfera de claustrofobia lo que hacia a "Train to Busan" distinta a las 999.999.999 otras películas de zombies que existen, pero para esta secuela se olvidaron de todo eso para transformarse en una mezcla rara y no tan buena de "Mad Max:Fury Road" y "Resident Evil 4 (El juego)".
