Train to Busan 2: Peninsula movie review

| Train to Busan 2 Movie Review |
In the South Korean hit Train to Busan, one of the many Korean national treasures shown to an awestruck international audience, a big ocean liner being the setting for the struggle between humans and invaders.
For the sequel that launches soon, the setting is the Korean peninsula itself, where North Korean hordes have started to invade South Korea. If the first film in the series earned its right to be called an unqualified success, so does the follow-up, even if at several times the film’s original budget.
Plot synopsis
 |
| Train to Busan 2 Movie Plot synopsis |
At the beginning of the film, we are introduced to Korea's fictional Republic of Korea (South Korea) in the year 2029, and a North Korean naval missile gets shot down over the border in the South. The South has a defense system which spots and destroys the missile.
The missile impacts land, and seven hours later, they receive the evacuation notice. This part of the film deals with the evacuation of the civilians, mainly the working-class. The rest of the film deals with the survivors and the preparations for war.
The evacuation takes place; and, several bombs are dropped by North Korean artillery from over the border. Since Seoul is clearly visible from the border, the North Korean bombardment would be massive. In all probability, South Korea would not use nuclear weapons.
What I Liked

| Train to Busan 2 Movie What I Liked |
First of all, I loved the movie. It was very funny. A movie, which I think is one of the best movies in South Korea, Train to Busan was a little boring. However, I think after watching Train to Busan 2: Peninsula, which is said to be the second part of the same story, Train to Busan will be much better.
Marine Captain Jung is driving his elder sister, her husband Chul-min and his nephew Dong-hwan to a ship that is meant to leave the Korean Peninsula. As he drives to the ship, he asks his sister about what she remembers from their childhoods.
The way Jung questions his sister and the family members after driving them for a long distance, in fact, made Train to Busan 1: Island really entertaining.
What I Didn't Like

| Train to Busan 2 Movie What I Didn't Like |
Disturbing imagery that is reminiscent of wartime events is shown with little distinction The poor translation of the Korean Though the story is engaging enough, I find the screenplay more episodic All in all, the trailer of this sequel has done its job well, as it is serving as a hype to its upcoming release.
The most enjoyable part of the movie is the mixture of action and the dark horror that is expressed with such efficiency. What's Good The movie is packed with the action and horror of a war, making it a uniquely refreshing ride. The first half of the movie is thoroughly gripping. Bong-hyun Joo shines as Marine Captain Jung.
Favorite Scene

| Train to Busan 2 Movie Favorite Scene |
A fake–out climax in which the North Korean leader is killed, just as the American president and the South Korean president walk into a hanger to meet the North’s Kim Jong-un.
Although its underlying message may be dubious, and it does treat a recurring terrorist threat with too much propaganda, the action in Train to Busan 2 is more fun than any other recent South Korean disaster movie.
The film begins the way the first one ended: a passenger train coming from the south collides with a freight train coming from the north, after both drivers are killed by a suicide bomber in a truck.
Train to Busan 2: Peninsula's Ending
 |
| Train to Busan 2 Movie Ending |
Every six months a group of South Korean tourists are taken from their home and transported to a mountain resort in North Korea. The tourists don't know it, but they're prisoners.
As has been the case since 1945, when Kim Il-sung united the two countries under communism, the travel agency in charge of sending the tourists to the resort has been operated by the North Korean regime, through its propaganda arm, the Korean Central Broadcasting Station.
Story Continues The popular Korean animated film, directed by Yeon Sang-ho, is, like its predecessor Train to Busan, a movie about confronting the state and its security apparatus.
The new film picks up immediately where the original film left off, and deals with a North Korean zombie outbreak, as well as a North Korean invasion of the South.
Final Thoughts
Train to Busan 2 is better than the first and is perfectly entertaining. There is a bit of unintentional humor, which is good. This is an action packed zombie film and it feels like one but it never takes itself seriously.
For those that enjoyed the first one, you will most likely love this one. It’s not a horror movie, but it is bloody and gross and it’s highly entertaining. It’s something everyone should go see. Watch Train to Busan 2 in theaters April 27, 2017.
Conclusion
Director Yeon Sang-ho’s adventure continues in Train to Busan 2: Peninsula, which picks up from the bloody finale of its predecessor. Jung Jae-gon’s Marine Captain is on the lookout for “racists” in his country. Jung Jae-gon’s sister, Ha-na, is awaiting the birth of her child.
His nephew, Dong-hwan, is looking for a job. One night, they rescue Ha-na’s cousin from a gang of thugs. In the next few days, Dong-hwan gets a job, the gang rapes Ha-na, she falls into a coma. There is a lot of action that the first part of the film couldn’t provide.
Thanks to the drama-filled ending, the theme of freedom is strong enough to carry Train to Busan 2, which is a better film. The well-choreographed action scenes are full of atmosphere.
