Critics Consensus

Generally absorbing from moment to moment despite uneven pacing and a rather convoluted mystery, Force of Nature: The Dry 2 should satisfy fans of the first installment while setting up the third.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Sadly, the movie is a little too dry, too.

Force of Nature generates just enough mystery never to be boring, but not enough interest to elevate it above its modest trappings.

Rated: B-

The film is well-made and well-acted, but it merely suggests depth rather than actually having it.

Rated: 2/4

As in the series’ first entry, landscape overshadows people.

While Eric Bana delivers a good performance, for me, Anna Torv helps round out this film with emotion we can ride along with.

Rated: B

Common Sense Media

Falk's return in this perfectly serviceable sequel is evenly paced and has fine outdoor cinematography; it captures a novel's texture, if relying on a few too many flashbacks.

Rated: 3/5

Boring, hard to follow, Australian accents made it difficult to understand. I go the movies to relax, not to figure out a puzzle with lots of pieces missing.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Honestly, this was one of the less likely sequels I’d have ever expected. The ‘twists’ and reveals came as no surprise because as I was watching it I thought there was no way they could twist this and make it interesting... and I was right. The main chracter's involvement felt watered down and far less central to the plot than the predecessor, and the duality of the story did not mesh together as well as it did in the first film. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it all fits in to The Dry extended universe.

This search and rescue dramatic movie is a decent story, steadily paced and edited. I wouldn't say it's life-changing or anything close to it. But it's entertaining enough of a flick to watch.
