I enjoy the world of this franchise more than most creature-features, and while this chapter doesn’t live up to the first, its fresh perspective is interesting: unfolding in real time, rather than eking out survival in the months after. Nyong'o is excellent, and her character is a nice curve ball for a survival story. Quinn’s performance isn’t quite as strong, nor is his character’s motivation for clinging to her made very clear.
