A solid sequel, which is more than I expected. The cool thing about the first film was discovering the concept and idea, that part is completely gone here. The setup is exactly the same as the first one, but instead of figuring out what's going on, part 2 delves deeper into societal organization.
It's not the deepest, most subtle, or most meditative take on the subject, this is after all a genre film first, but there are still some interesting ideas here that aptly demonstrate the infighting between people stuck in a rigged system. This was another fun ride, not as original as the first one, but the extra meat to the story made up for that.
