As someone who is not a big fan of 'Escape from New York', I could just as easily repeat my review of the 1981 film for this sequel. Because, in a way, it's basically the same movie all over again. The setting is now Los Angeles and not New York, but otherwise the plot does remain the same. The strengths of its predecessor are still present, particularly the appearance of the main character, Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), and the strong worldbuilding. The effects, on the other hand, are once again weak, and the pacing is not exactly brisk. Ultimately, I deduct a few points for the lack of originality. But this trip to the (former) City of Angels is not much worse than the previous one.
