Only an installment

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2007)

This movie was very good until the ending... that is, lack of an ending. Trying to get a satisfactory conclusion to this story is like watching an episode of Lost. Everything good up to that point is negated by the frustration of having to wait for the next movie, which will be sequel part 2 - this was just sequel part 1. At least the original movie had an ending.
Up to the lack of an ending the movie was almost as good as the first one. I thought the supernatural/fantasy element of the first one was its weak point and this one has even more of that. On the other hand the special effects and production design were superb and the story was fairly exciting.
