Get
ready for some loose threads and some panic about multiverse/time
loop mumbo jumbo that will make you think you are set for a thriller.
Like in the first ten minutes into the movie they psych us out about
the whole universe collapsing. They pull a thread of two entities
that are not supposed to exist in the same universe and something
horrible is going to happen, then whoosh we are in another universe.
That’s
how the movie started, we are in another universe where things are
different and Tree’s mum is still alive. Tree from the universe in
the
first movie is propelled into another universe where her mum
is alive and people whom she knows are different.
Problem
here in this movie is, instead of the writers to find another way to
play this we get to go through Tree’s life again, which is a bore.
In
this version of this Happy Death Day, the plot has Tree making it to
the next day. Everything would have been cool, but Ryan Carter’s
friend in his panic to save himself caused her to relieve the day.
Not the day after her time loop, but the day she desperately wanted
to get away from, her birthday. Which if we recall was same day in
the
first movie when the time
loop occurred for her.
The
movie kind of expanded on some of the characters from the
previous movie while keeping the leads in the
first movie at some focus.
We
also get to see the scientific jargons behind the time loop, and I
can tell you the jargons is just as stupid as they get. So the makers
of the
first movie felt the time loop that was present in the
first movie was not enough so they added multiverse. Yes, get
ready for an onslaught of multiverse theories, and in order of our
Tree to get things going the way she wants she has to keep killing
herself.
Tree
comes up with new amazing ways to kill herself, and all of that was
just a bore. The whole emotional way the movie just piles up Tree and
her family reunion was just overplayed.
That
aside, the plot of the movie was not as engaging as the
first movie because we already now have an idea of how things
will play out. It was not fun to find out the loop was because of an
experiment that went awfully wrong.
Just
see the
first movie only and save
yourself the pain of seeing this addition to the tale.
Financially
this movie was not as good a take back for
the studio like the
first movie and I’m glad
because we are going to be saved from seeing a third part.
