Tom Ellen Empire Magazine Despite the compelling high concept — and some epic action set-pieces — there’s not quite enough meat on the bones of this dystopian follow-up to make it truly worthy of its predecessor.  Rated: 2/5 Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Jesse Hassenger Guardian Gaztelu-Urrutia seems to be regarding his own concept from level 0, treating it as a frantic all-you-can-eat buffet that may be snatched away at any moment. Rated: 2/5 Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Matt Donato AV Club The allegorical simplicity of Netflix’s The Platform makes it brilliant—a sequel seems antithetical. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof A film that starts out quite strong but runs out of ideas after about 20-30 minutes and then settles for being a sort of wilder version of its predecessor. (Full Review in Spanish) Rated: 4/10 Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Dolores Quintana Santa Monica Mirror The Platform 2 is an unflinchingly ugly and beautiful depiction of humanity at its best and worst, showing our capacity for rage and violence as well as our potential for love, forgiveness, and understanding. Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Kevin Harley Radio Times Even with plenty of shock developments on offer, it becomes increasingly tough to care who will be dismembered next.

Mela P They should have stopped after the first movie. First one was straightforward and logical within its insanity. This one is just messy. Violence and gore for the sake of it. It’s doing too much and leaves you wishing for your time back. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Russell H Not nearly as good as the first one. The last act lost me. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Jeffrey P After a strong start, the story becomes only more and more messy, convoluted, and irrelevant to the greater central plot and the first film. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a film that started with such potential only to just want it over. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Aaron D Talks a lot but says very little. Frustrating. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Audience Member HUGE SPOILER WARNING: The fat guys story made almost no sense, and his death was random. Cut it off at the scene where they strap a naked woman to be raped and eaten alive. Too much unnecessary violence and shock moments Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Audience Member This film is a sequel to The Platform and follows a new group of prisoners in the Vertical Self-Management Center. This time, however, the system appears more controlled, with some participants known as the "anointed" enforcing the rules. While this structure seems to work for a while, things take a turn when some prisoners, either waking up greedy on the higher levels or starving on the lower ones, spark a revolt that sends the entire system into chaos. Among these prisoners is Milena, a woman who begins the film believing in the system’s order, but soon finds herself questioning everything as the system’s cracks begin to show. As tensions rise, she must decide whether to continue following the rules or join the rebellion that is threatening to break the entire system apart. Overall, due to its powerful message, thought-provoking discussions on morality and the politics of the prison, unflinching violence (even more brutal than the original), a compelling and dynamic protagonist in Milena, and an engaging story, this movie is really good, and although, it can be a bit confusing at times, and I didn't love the way they handled the ending (a fascinating concept but rushed, underdeveloped, and unearned), I still enjoyed my time with this feature and found it to be a great continuation of the series—one I actually enjoyed slightly more than the original—as it delves deeper into the lore of the Vertical Self-Management Center and serves as an insightful meditation on life, society, and the political climate. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
