The first ten minutes of "Journey 2" manage to breeze through the plot and character arcs of the film as fast as they can. Why would you need to spend more time on them, right? There are sloppily thrown together 3D effects to be seen! Though there aren't really any bad performances in the film, except Luis Guzman, who let me down in a big way, there really aren't any memorable ones. The Gunns' script takes as many simple twists as possible, because you don't want the kids to have to think about too much. I left this film with an apathetic feeling toward it, and a dreadful feeling towards its promise of a third one.
