Review of Peninsula

Peninsula (2020)
1/10
Absolute Garbage *AVOID THIS MOVIE*
17 July 2020
Allowing this movie to air on the big screen, is an outright insult to the viewers. This is a half-assed, textbook case of milking a successful movie (Train to Busan) into a poor "sequel".

I can write a book about the plot holes, inconsistensies and the movies being impossible for the viewers to suspend their disbelief to take it seriously.

There are extended segments of painfuly edgy teen/toddler duo. Where they exchange one liners and run over infected in a "stylish" way. All the while they slam into other cars while drifting and grind against building/cars anime style. All the while, without sustaining as much as a scratch to the car's paint, and not even a splash of blood...

Even better, nearly 1/4th of the movie is composed of these EXTREMELY poorly made CGI sections and car chases (yay?). For some reason these scenes dominate the majority of the movie.

This is all so (masterfully ?) Integrated with an overwhelming amount of EXTENDED "sad" slow motion shots of "dramatic" situation about underdeveloped characters that you couldn't care less about, dying or "almost" dying but being saved at the last second. Rambo-style by the invincible main protagonist.

This movie is utter trash, unbelievably so. I can't recall the last time where i had such an overwhelming urge, to storm out of the theater, and demand a refund.

Do your a huge favour and dodge this bullet that i took for you. AVOID THIS MOVIE. Don't worry, the name aside, this movie has NOTHING to do with Train to Busan. So you are not missing out.
