Review Time: this sequel is mixed
Fundamental elements: there is
background music, cultural elements, quick moving effects, slow-motion effects,
yes and no to subtitles being used, words on screen, an interpreter elements,
mental imagery, voice-over elements, place jumps and time jumps.
Action sequences: in a nutshell these are the kinds of element or elements you will see
in this title; training with a computer simulation, chasing, combat and weapons
being used. I really want to say more, but I can't because it happens pretty
close to the end of this film, but I think I can just about get away with
saying this; it is an action sequence and it is imaginative.
Performances/Storyline/Character developments: briefly the performances range from mixed or somewhere around here to
good. Now before I continue I am not going to be talking about this storyline
too heavily [because that is something I don't do, but I will be talking about
an element or elements of it in a roundabout way] and I will be discussing the
character developments at the same time, this will make sense the more you read
of this review.
What
would've made this film better is this; the lead character is getting older and
the toll of this career/lifestyle is most definitely showing itself in one way
or another and in fairness and balance this title does show/used these
elements, but they could have developed these elements more, where he could be
thinking something like this; "Maybe it is about time for me to rotate
back to the real world full-time, but then again this is all I know" or something
like this, so it tells or implies to the audience he is torn between his
career/lifestyle which at this point he has been doing for a long time or
rotating back to the real world full-time which could be difficult for him to
adjust to at this point in his life.
This film receives: 5/10, now throughout this project I could have given different marks,
but I settled on this one because after everything is said and done; this one
felt closer.
