2.0 Movie Review : 2.0 has the plot structure of a typical Shankar movie. He used his pet theme – a wronged individual getting revenge on the people who ruined his life. The director gives us a film that is part sci-fi, part horror, part vigilante movie and part special effects spectacle.
2.0 Movie Review
The plot of 2.0 feels very familiar. There is no mystery in the supernatural occurances. The entire first half forces the audience to watch the mandatory flashback involving Akshay Kumar’s character. Even the flashback doesn’t hit hard on the emotional scale like Indian and Gentleman made us feel. There is a compelled sense of just going through the motions in the first half.
But plot is not the reason that people watch Shankar’s films. It is the grand canvas in which the director mounts his oft-told stories that make us look forward to his films. And 2.0 Movie Review completely satisfies that desire. In the first half, we get some striking visuals – mobile phones crawling on the road, a forest of glowing phones, a monstrous bird that crackles with energy, etc. There are visual nods to Hollywood films like Aliens, Terminator 2 and even Ghostbusters.
2.0 Movie Review : And yet despite Rajini’s presence, the 2.0 movie is missing something unexplicable. We get an extravagent clash between Chitti and the giant bird but that’s it. Barring a reference to the famous dialogue from Nayakan, the lines are hardly momorable. Unlike its predecessor, the film doesn’t find a way to inject humour and inventiveness into its proceedings. Even the sub-plot involving the son of the previous villain is underdeveloped and underwhelming.
It is only with the entry of 2.0, which happens a little late than it should have, that the film gets some much-needed energy. As he did in the first film, Rajinikanth digs into this role with his inimitable style and performs fabulously. Akshay Kumar is also a solid presence as the antagonist.
