Dean (6927 KP) rated Quarantine 2: Terminal (2011) in Movies

Poor sequel
A fairly poor follow up, although it does have a slight link to the first story. On the same night as the first film, a flight out of L.A. becomes contaminated with the virus. This could have been better with a bigger budget and set inside the airport. However the group from the flight try to survive by holding out in the baggage section by the runway. Overall it wasn't bad but compared to the first film and the two Rec films it was a disappointment.

Perfectly crafted stage design, flawless controls, and an amazingly consistent flow of action (1 more)
Fun weapons, decent boss battles, and local co-op mode
The spiritual sequel to Robotron becomes the definitive dual-stick shooter, Nex Machina is almost perfect, and one of the most successful collaborations between like-minded creators that gaming has ever seen.

Disappointing after Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is one my favourite Pixar films ever, hence I was looking forward to its sequel. Unfortunately it falls short by a massive margin, as it ends up gearing towards a much younger audience.
The biggest charm of FN was the fact that it was universal, however, this film was all over the place, trying too hard to be as witty and heartfelt as the first. The action sequences were not as clever and the humour wasn't as comedic as before. Disappointed to say the least.

Too many new, pointless characters (2 more)
Ridiculous, predictable plot
Sherlock Gnomes himself. Completely dull
A disappointing sequel to a great family movie
Gnomeo and Juliet is a firm favourite in the Boardman house. A clever mix of charm, humour and Elton John songs. Unfortunately this followup, Sherlock Gnomes, is the complete opposite. As the gnomes move to London, they get mixed up in some strange plot involving gnome kidnapping. And it's up to Johnny Depp as the dull Sherlock Gnomes to try and solve the mystery. Predictable, unfunny, and crammed full of unnecessary and uninteresting characters.

This novel takes place in the near future, where a disease called Hayden's Syndrome has infected some of the population, leaving them bed-bound with a functioning brain. The main character is Chris, who has Haden's and is a new FBI agent, using an android, nicknamed a 'threep'.
This is definitely a police-procedural novel with a future twist. I liked the mix a lot. Scalzi's characterizations are always good, and this was no exception. I devoured the book in two days and promptly moved onto the sequel.

This book is to Fifty Shades as Spaceballs is to Star Wars and Scary Movie is to Scream. It is a witty, satirical look at the Fifty Shades trilogy with plenty of Twilight references thrown in for good measure. If you are among the readers that didn't take Fifty Shades too seriously to begin with, then you will love this book. A light, entertaining read with loads of fun 80's pop culture references that will keep you laughing from beginning to end.
Looking forward to reading the sequel, Fifty Shames in Space.

This is the best type of filler. Paul Rudd’s charismatic hero returned to the big-screen in a sequel that was fun, if not as interesting as its predecessor. The villain is good though and definitely better than the irritating Yellowjacket.
Michelle Pfieffer adds a touch of class to proceedings, even if she’s an underused presence and the return of Michael Douglas’ Hank Pym is great fun. This second outing for the pint-sized hero is great to watch, if completely forgettable.

Why!?
You wait 21 years for a sequel to a cult classic and this is all we get? It's very poor saved at times only by Corey Feldman returning in his original role and not looking much older, maybe he is a vampire too? It's a bit like a not so good take on of Buffy, just with more gore and nudity, essential for straight to DVD horrors. Some parts were ok but the overall film just makes you think what a missed opportunity. Watch once if you are curious.
This is the sequel to Me Before You. It picks up roughly 6 months after the book ends. Louisa had been traveling and returned to London. She is working in an airport bar pretty much hating the job. She meets Sam, an ambulance worker at the same time that someone from Will's past comes into her life. The book goes through Lou and the tentative beginnings of a relationship with Sam, dealing with some unexpected family issues in addition to this person from Will's past and all the feelings that dredges up. Very well written.

I am not normally a fan of books without a “proper” ending, however this book finishes in the perfect place.
It follows Mia after a terrible car accident when she then has to decide is she wants to stay. The book is written very well between what is happening now and previous events from Mia’s life.
This book will make you think about life and death and how you would cope with certain situations.
Very exciting, it would appear there is a sequel set a few years later.
