Comment on What movies have you watched this week?

  I guess I am in the minority but I still fail to see why anyone would be excited for a sequel to the original. I watched it and it was fine but there were no unanswered questions or character threads that needed more development on screen. The monster gimmick worked well once but got old quite quickly. It amazes me that this ever became a series in the first place. It seemed like a perfect example of a solid, one-off science fiction/horror film.

    You should check out Day One. I can’t remember anything from the second movie but Day One is a solid exploration of a different aspect of the universe.

      Sorry, I meant I watched the first one. Not really interested in watching the second to get to the third (assuming they are connected).

        I picked up on that, and I would say skipping the second one is fine but the original and Day One are really good

  Yes. That’s not shocking for a 7 year old film series.
