Very different from the prequel! Enjoyable if you're willing to look over several plotholes
When I found out that "Train to Busan" has a sequel I honestly was very confused. However, seeing as "Peninsula" doesn't manage to live up to expectations from "Train to Busan", it's no wonder that I'd never heard about it before. However, if you think of this movie as a completely different story set in the same universe but four years later, it's quite decent.
On the one hand, there are a lot of plotholes, seeing as cars still have gas, food trucks randomly standing on the streets (and the food apparently still being edible, which is even more of a surprise), infected being at places where I have no idea how they even got there and supposedly no one is thinking about a cure for the virus or a permanent solution for the peninsula even four years later which is just plain illogical. Frankly, the writing is a disappointment if you're here for logic. On the other hand, if you're here for action and cars, go for it. Also, I personally liked the connection between the male and the female lead. It's a cliché, but hey, I mentioned that logic is not the most important here. The ending was a very positive surprise for me. Honestly, I don't know if I had liked the movie if it was different.
I was considerably surprised to see that the cast had changed completely. However, it quickly becomes clear why that's the case as well. Still, even though everything changed a lot, the actors were good and brought their characters to life. Opinions may differ on this one, but I could connect with the characters quite well and felt sorry for them, whenever something negative happened. I must say that I love the family our male protagonist meets, especially the older sister. And thank goodness there was no romance anywhere. It wouldn't have fit at all.
Also, once again, I loved the music. I can't even say more to it than that it was great and the scenes on screen.
About the rewatch value I got to say that I probably will rewatch it - one day. Probably in a few years. I did enjoy the movie, but there are significant weaknesses that just left me questioning.
