Last month, we introduced you to this new thriller that was a real hit on Netflix. And more recently, another film in this genre, but this time much darker and more violent, bordering on horror, has been talked about on social media, having strongly divided Internet users on the subject.

(H2) The Platform 2 on Netflix: a new divisive part
Among the new releases this October on Netflix, subscribers were recently able to discover The Platform 2. Released on October 4 on the platform, this new Spanish film takes place in the same universe as the first part released in 2020, bringing us back once again to this dystopian world featuring a sort of vertical prison-tower and its power supply system which tends to promote inequalities.
The Platform 2 is a prequel to the 2020 film, in which we can get a glimpse of how this gloomy place works before the arrival of Goreng, the protagonist of the first film. We follow the journey of Perempuan (played by Milena Smit), a young woman tormented by her past who will rebel against the order established by a mysterious leader.
And while the first film directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia had met with enormous success, even earning a place in the top 5 non-English-language films in the catalog, the second part clearly did not have the same reception.
Indeed, many were clearly not won over by The Platform 2 on X (formerly Twitter), criticizing in particular a lack of clarity in the plot, which does not make it easy to understand the film. It should be noted, however, that some people still enjoyed this feature film, especially the fact that we learn more about the history of this place.

really making sequels to movies that didn't need them should stop, especially to make something so poorly written…

Platform 2 is more coherent than 1, at least there is some logic.

Platform 2 which proves once again that the majority of horror works should be satisfied with a film, yet another sequel that falls into the category of failed and uninteresting sequels, we really didn't need that, it's a shame. pic.twitter.com/J2lWe0w2on

I was sure it would be bad. We don't understand anything at all, whereas in the first one there was a plot and it was very distressing. Here I fell asleep that is to say ud83dude44

I just watched platform 2 on Netflix, I didn't understand much of the first one, but it's the same thing, after that I like the concept too much, just for me they should have made a series to have more details on certain points

I saw “The Platform 2” on @NetflixFR!
I didn't think a sequel to this first crazy film could be so interesting.
In the end, we see another period of this hell, while developing the intrigue of this place.
I really enjoyed it, I recommend it!! pic.twitter.com/G3wElTu5n0

The Platform 2 (announced as a sequel) is actually a prequel, enough to make the film even more useless than it already was…
It's simple, this film is a rehash of the first but this time the residents have created a law, only the last 20/25 minutes bring us some… pic.twitter.com/GVxGYF5j1x

The Platform 2 is such a useless movie.
At the end, I was so pissed off that I had wasted 1h40 of my life

Either I'm too stupid to understand, or it's too crazy for me or it's crap
Personally I have my little idea ud83dude02
Anyway, I didn't expect much but I'm still disappointed #laplateforme2 pic.twitter.com/JMY2LAdKMc

It's still really boring and light years away from the quality of the first one that I really liked in 2019.
Too bad, I find this sequel a failure and as useless as expected. #ThePlatform2 pic.twitter.com/SxEo8d3iXY
