The movie has the freshness, innocence, and energy of youngsters on the threshold of adulthood, embarked on a grand heroic adventure.

It's got a great kid-energy to it, but also [has] real adventures, real danger, and real stakes.

I'm a huge fan of Cornish's 2011 debut Attack the Block, but this film isn't nearly as energetic or enjoyably wacky as its predecessor.

Not without its flaws for sure, but a film with a lot of fun to share and convictions to uphold.
