For those not in the know The Platform is about a prison where once a day food is added to an elevator like platform that starts at the top, and prisoners eat what they can before it goes to the next level, getting less and less the further it drops for those below.

How did you like it?

I liked the first one, hope this one is just as good.

It’s been quite a while since I watched it but I’d consider it a hidden gem of Netflix’s movie library.

Don’t recall it being slow in places, constant tension for how others react being in such difficult situations, driving them to madness.

Found my post from 2020, not a good ending apparently. (I don’t remember)

The Platform

Great movie but the ending was a real letdown.

I'll check it out sometime this week than. Thanks for the recommendation!

It was all right. An interesting take on humans inability to cooperate when there is no immediate reason to do so.

I enjoyed it for what it was. Second will definitely jump up my backlog.

Looks like they needed some filler after The 8 Show?

Liked the first one, ending was kinda meh, but the concept was top class.

But it was made a few years back by a slightly less.retarded Netflix so i'm kinda not holding up my hope for this one

 

[Days like these...]

I enjoyed it well enough but it doesn't seem like it needs a sequel.

I could go for a new Cube, written seriously (lots of character drama), and with a decent budget

Hell yeah brother but were getting a new SH movie first.

Aren't there like 2 sequels to Cube already? Or was one a prequel, where they are making parts for it but have no idea how it all comes together? I forget.

I feel like Cube and The platform are cool concepts but don't need much explanation. It's like The Purge or any of these Battle Royale rip-offs, the less you explain (or explore) the WHY, the better it is. It's like that Circle film with the 50 people, the concept is real loose, it's really about the characters trying to 'solve' the puzzle thats the draw for me.

The premise of the first movie sounded like an excuse to bitch about the unfair treatment of some people in modern society. Maybe I'm plain wrong, but it wasn't interesting enough to check it out.

I'd definitely watch a new Cube movie though.

I love the first Cube. The other Cube movies I enjoyed too despite both not being as good as the first one

I'll have to check this out.

this and the IT prequel coming to Max. Loved the first 3 IT movies.

I can't wait for Welcome To Derry. I love the new It movies and I'm a big fan of the book

I wasn't allowed to watch horror movies growing up. So i missed out on alot. Both the new IT's were great. I haven't read the book. I need to.

Welcome to Derry should be sick. They did a great job on pennywise in the new movies. Maybe they will release it around Halloween like the movies did.

It's a chonker of a book though. It's still my favorite version of the story. I highly recommend it if you don't mind long books. As for horror I just started watching ten years ago. Was able to discover some fantastic stuff

I don't mind long books. I might even listen to it if its in audible book format. My favorite horror games are RE7, Village, Until Dawn, and Dark Pictures Horror Games. As for horror movies, some of my favorites were insidious, stranger things, jeepers creepers, the ring, the descent, scary stories to tell in the dark, and escape room. Im sure there are many more. I just can't remember names.

I didn't know that there was going to be a second film and saw it on a list on Netflix.

Just finished watching it. I liked the first one and this as well. I found it to be thought provoking stuff. Understanding more about Humanity and the viewer's civil responsibility that forces them to face the limits of their own solidarity.

I'm reading that a lot of people are going back to the first film to try and unpack the second. It can get confusing, so going back might make things make sense. Maybe.

Spoiler

It actually turns out that it's a prequel when you see Trimagasi on floor 72, which was connected in the first film when he tells Goreng that's where he first started.
