Redundant and unnecessary.
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Boring
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I thought the first movie was lousy. I watched this one with extreme prejudice. The movie starts building the characters of 2 stewardesses. Then as they help and greet passengers we get a glimpse of the passenger backgrounds. We already know there is going to be an infection, but who? The co-pilot is sick. He thinks he got it from his dog. There is a woman on board from an apartment building. Her cat is with her. The cat had left the building which she claims is very unusual. There is a man with some hamsters. Another man helps him with the hamsters and gets bit. There is an elderly man who is sick along with his wife, and a woman who has just returned from overseas, and a few others. A man is watching the events unfold from outside the apartment building from the first picture on his laptop. This one picks up where the other leaves off except the action is in an airplane.Once a passenger gets infected and isolated in the restroom, the plane is told to land. It hooks up to a terminal where they are quarantined. Now it is just a matter of who lives and who dies.The first thing I noticed is they got rid of the hand held camera nonsense and had enough money to make this into a regular movie. They still jerked the camera around when an infected human attacked to give you that terror feel. The animal sounds made by the infected humans didn't seem to be real or coming from the people making them. There is room for improvement as they kept the door open for an infinite amount of sequels.Acting was a lot better than the first one. Better story line. Quick and effective introduction of characters before the action starts.MF/F-bomb, no nudity, some implied sex, no real sex scenes.
As we know, the first Quarantine is an adaptation from the Spanish infected film, Rec. And that film was totally awesome, from the idea, story plot, and makeup. Unfortunately when the sequel came up, Rec 2, most of zombie fans thought it was not good as the first one. Totally different concept from infected style into demon-possessed film like some kind of exorcisms.So when this movie released, Quarantine 2, some of zombie movie fans little bit skeptical about it. Until we watched, and it was an outstanding film. The real infected style movie like 28 Days Later combined with Flight of the Living Dead. Like it so much.
Quarantine 2: Terminal sees passengers and crew on a flight from Los Angeles get freaked out when a fat guy shows symptoms of a deadly virus and starts puking up. They are forced to land and are quarantined inside an airport terminal.However the infection spreads as the survivors try to escape from the terminal and the rampaging infected people who have gone rabid.The film really does not make much logical sense, the first third of the film is set on a plane but wisely leaves the claustrophobia behind when it moves to the airport setting. The story expands to bring in a crazed scientist whose experiments might had created the virus and you certainly will not want to get eye to eye with him.
This sequel picks up on the same night that the original takes place; a plane departing Los Angeles isn't airborne long when the infection breakout happens on the plane. It is forced to land and a group of passengers fight off infected passengers as they are isolated and cut off by the military in a terminal. They quickly understand that help isn't coming and the infected dead try to viciously kill the living. This simple idea is stretched from the first film into this one and sets it in a airport terminal instead of an apartment building. Fortunately we have a group of survivors we can root for and Writer/Director John G. Pogue makes this movie tense and truly scary. The movie also benefits from moving away from the shaky camera style the first film used. Plenty of blood and jump scares pack this surprising sequel that is a worthy follow up to the original.
