Apart from a smattering of survivors, South Korea has been abandoned, its once-ultra-modern mega-cities reduced to apocalyptic ruins. In the previous films, Yeon wreaked devastation on Busan and Seoul, and here he turns his attention to the port city of Incheon, now a smoldering wasteland, its skyscrapers dark and bridges lying broken like giant carcasses in an elephant graveyard. Somewhere in the zombie-infested city sits a truck loaded with $20 million in U.S.
It’s not that the zombies aren’t a threat , but they’re practically incidental in a sequel that strives for more of a “Mad Max” feel, pitting these four desperadoes against the heavily armed humans who now run Incheon. Huge chunks of the movie are dedicated to bonkers cross-city chase scenes that feel like the CG equivalent of vintage “Speed Racer” sequences, as digitally rendered vehicles drift along frictionless roads.
Among the team members, Jung-seok emerges as the most compelling, seen at the outset trying to escape the initial outbreak, a challenge that called for a tough decision to leave a family stranded along the road. Jung-seok’s been wrestling with his guilt all these years — although, to be fair, characters made far more difficult judgment calls every five minutes in “Train to Busan.
