What to Know

Critics Consensus

Grim and visually monotonous, The Platform 2 stands as an incoherent sequel that buries its compelling premise under dull symbolism, excessive gore, and a narrative that's hard to care about.

2/5
Despite the compelling high concept — and some epic action set-pieces — there’s not quite enough meat on the bones of this dystopian follow-up to make it truly worthy of its predecessor.  Go to Full Review

Gaztelu-Urrutia seems to be regarding his own concept from level 0, treating it as a frantic all-you-can-eat buffet that may be snatched away at any moment. Go to Full Review

The allegorical simplicity of Netflix’s The Platform makes it brilliant—a sequel seems antithetical. Go to Full Review

4/10
A film that starts out quite strong but runs out of ideas after about 20-30 minutes and then settles for being a sort of wilder version of its predecessor. (Full Review in Spanish) Go to Full Review
Dolores Quintana Santa Monica Mirror Nov 11, 2024
The Platform 2 is an unflinchingly ugly and beautiful depiction of humanity at its best and worst, showing our capacity for rage and violence as well as our potential for love, forgiveness, and understanding. Go to Full Review

Even with plenty of shock developments on offer, it becomes increasingly tough to care who will be dismembered next. Go to Full Review

Fro T @frothizzlereviews 3 days ago Yeah, this one was disappointing, but there were some ideas that I liked. Positives: The acting is solid all across the board, the concept of Barbarians vs. Loyalists, and the violence is a bit more brutal this time. What I hated was how many questions I had by the finale! None of my questions from the first film are answered, and the ones that get answered are extremely silly. (Big facepalm with the gravity sequence!) 4/10 See more SiiL3nT T @RT88407630 Sep 12, 2026 This is the worst movie ever created, it tried to present some deep metafor and to be highly intellectual while it was so moronic that the movie itself was confused on what was the point This is a classical award slop, where the movie tries to chase awards with some deep meanings with emotional deep scenes while it comes out undeep and unemotional and just plainly moronic See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 16, 2026 Um retorno pretensioso que troca a crítica social afiada por uma violência gratuita e regras confusas. O filme esvazia o mistério do original e perde-se numa narrativa caótica que não sabe para onde ir. See more Steve M @Scratchy Mar 25, 2026 I would give this 0 stars if I could. Awful. Just awful! What was the director / writer thinking? It's got to be one of the worst balls up in cinema history - to take such an interesting concept, complete with so much good will from the first movie, and just burn it down by putting your own head firmly up your own a**. If there's a bigger fall from grace, I'd love to know about it! See more Jaana K @jaanak Mar 9, 2026 My review from my heart : I know I’m about 2 years late but this might honestly be the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I kept waiting for things to make sense, but the film keeps setting up random rules and then ignoring them. By the end it just turns confusing and frustrating instead of clever. I get that it’s supposed to be "symbolic" but symbolism shouldn’t replace basic logic. Definitely not worth the hype for me. If you have an extra 1h 40min, i’d recommend you to watch something boring documentary but not this. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown Mar 4, 2026 It's barely a spark of what the original brought. Half way in you're wishing you hadn't gotten into this eating tale. See more Read all reviews
