A fine sequel, taking the characters and situation set up in the first one in logical progression, pushing Millicent Simmonds into more of a lead action role, and presenting several new challenges to our post-apocalyptic family and those they find along the way (along with the same freaky monster things). There's good intercutting of the various perils, tight structure and very few uses of the stupid stick. If it doesn't entirely wrap the storyline, it does at least leave it in a place that feels a lot like resolution. The only negative is that Djimon Honsou has pretty much a nothing role, with nota lot of time between being introduced and being killed.
