Definitely entertaining, didn’t keep me as involved as the first, but a well done follow up.

Lacks that spark of originality that made the first so compelling. Still, an enjoyable, if utterly conventional, made-for-Hollywood sci-fi adventure.

You must read Bird Box first. This sequel picks up 2 years after Mallorie and the kids are forced to flee the blind school after an invasion.
Their journey is focused on traveling to find family members who’d been assumed dead but a clue has given Malorie hope.
I took one star off because as a sequel, it cannot stand alone. And the repetitive mention of memories about the family members is too much. There’s a rant when Malorie is telling off a “creature” that was a long, embarrassing and unnecessary rant.
But overall, a solid, and satisfying ending.
