Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula

A must have movie.

... great title I know.So Train to Busan is one of my all time fa vourite films and zombie film, I love the atmopshere, I love the drama, I love the characters, the moments of sacrifice, the world building seeing it all unfold! I honest to god adore Busan... so when I heard there was a sequal! I was happy, worried but happy AND... it's decent, not mindblowing but decent.Its basically a Mad Max meets Zombie kinda thing, and I like it maybe not your cup of tea. I can respect that... but when I saw the trailers (very few of them) I thought it was going to be survivors roaming Korea. Not, uh, survivors GOING to Korea... there's a difference, one makes you feel like you know these guys are experts - the other you expect them to die... and, spoiler, spoiler, spoiler - expectations are met... I wish the film was a different plot, but the plot is enjoyable.And I hope if there is another sequal? That it goes more to the originals roots.

Keep up the good work I appreciated it thank you very much

(A full in-depth review of Peninsula will hopefully be available soon on my own film & TV review site - link in my Amazon profile!)Having sought out Seoul Station and re-watched Train To Busan in time for this sequel, I was intrigued to see whether director Yeon Sang-ho could capture lightning for a second time. I kept my expectations tempered and went in knowing only that this would be a standalone sequel... and the result was a bit of a mixed bag. The film starts promisingly, with the zombie outbreak in full swing and depicting the evacuation of South Korea. An outbreak on one of the evacuee ships results in a slaughter, and it is an intense and emotional beginning to the film.Following this, the rest of the film takes place four years later where South Korea has been abandoned and quarantined off from the rest of the world. It's here where we follow a new cast of characters and follow the consequences of the outbreak. Of this trilogy of films, this leans far heavier on the action pedal than it does horror... and that can be both to its advantage and its detriment. I've seen unfavourable comparisons made to things like the Fast & Furious films, which I personally think is a little unfair but I can see why it might turn some people off. There is a much greater reliance on ridiculously big action set-pieces and noticeably a lot more of them CGI-based too.This is also sadly the weakest outings for the zombies themselves. After posing a genuine threat in Train To Busan, here they're much less impressive against characters who are better armed and adept at dealing with them. The zombies are often reduced to just ragdolls and the human antagonists keeping them as effective guard dogs on chains doesn't do them any favours. Said human antagonists are also pretty uninspiring for the most part too. There are things about this film I unambiguously like however, among them the ragtag family group at the heart of the action. The grandfather, mother and her two daughters are all genuinely likeable, with the two young girls being incredibly entertaining in the way they dispatch the zombies. I found myself honestly caring about them all and wanting them to make it out, and in the moments where it seems one of them may not make it, I did find myself tensing up. Like Seoul Station, Peninsula is pretty underwhelming when compared against Train To Busan, and neither film is really essential. It's an alright sequel, but I doubt it will have the same longevity as its predecessor.

First off this is from the makers of THE TRAIN TO BUSAN and marketed as being set in the same universe while not being a direct sequel. While it’s not as perfect as that previous movie, it is still the best movie of 2020 easily, none of the Hollywood movies recently match the scale or pace of this one, from the look and feel it’s quite inspired by movies like MAD MAX 2 and LAND OF THE DEAD and it is bookended with an emotional core. I won’t spoil it, however it tells the story of some people who go back to an island to retrieve a lost cache of money. It all goes wrong and some of them find their humanity. Cinematography, sound and visual effects are superb. It is spectacular. While not as brilliant as THE TRAIN TO BUSAN, it is still awesome, which just those to show how great that movie was. This is well worth watching, a great Friday night popcorn blaster that will have you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend this.

Good

Started really good then got a bit stupid and over the top. Loved the prequel Train to Busan but this unfortunately was a huge letdown
