Frightening/Intense Scenes: BBFC Rating: 15 Strong Violence Threat and the Australian Rating is M for Mature themes, violence and coarse language
Characters are chased by a murderer with a knife. Even with comic relief, the scenes can be frightening.
Story: Tree Gelbman discovers that dying over and over was surprisingly easier than the dangers that lie ahead, as once again she has been thrown into some groundhog day murder spree only this time she discovers the truth and it puts more than just her self in danger.
Likes: This film is flawed but it's so nut's to the point that it actually entertaining, like the first film Tree Gelbman find her self thrown into the same situation as before only this time thing's have changed and the rules are different.
Its one of those film's that you will have to watch the first film in order to understand what's going on, as the first film give a sense of mystery and leave you with a sense of what the hell is going on? In the sequel like they promise it does give an explanation in the form of Quantum mechanics which gives the film it's edge in the driven plot line.
Acting is pretty solid through the film, the explanation to Quantum Mechanics is explain well for people that have no clue about it, although there are areas of this film where the plot is weak which I noticed because I know a bit about Quantum Mechanics, Other than it's an entertaining film dare i say a little better then first film.
The comic relief in the film is sometimes funny but it a comic relief that is gonna depend on your sense of humour, which I kind of find funny when the main character flip outs and the interaction with other people are hilarious at times. There a few moments that the film does get emotional, but it more nuts and crazy this time around than the first film which gives it great entertainment.
If you loved the first film that you probably love this sequel, but will depend on your sense of humour and willingness to the flaws go in the film.
Dislikes:
1. The biggest Flaw in the plot is the way Quantum Mechanics is used, accord to a theory it's not possible to correct a timeline without causing a Paradox which is the big flaw in this film.
2. Phi Vu charcater Ryan Phan felt more like a throwaway subplot character to continue Jessica Rothe character Tree Gelbman in the film, where the film could've had more focus on Ryan character through the film instead of a side character which the film started off with him as the main character.
Overall: Crazy nuts, Entertaining film that ok, Funny in places, but a little flawed.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 7 out of 10 for Sequel
