I'm going to be honest, I love this movie, truly, but it's not flawless. On this chapter we got what we wanted, the true fight between alphas and the conquest of the true power over everything. And even though some people complaint about the human factor of this movie, I actually enjoyed it...until some degree.
In these type of movies, either we get full monster fight or full human war with some glimpses of the monster. This movie is one of few that manages to balance these distinct perspectives. Which side should we be on, that one that protects these monsters, the one that wants to kill them, the one that wants to weaponize them?! It's really interesting to me, and such an appeal and well balanced as we get to observe these monsters.
That said, I can't say it's totally original. This human vs monsters has been done before, so it really needed to bring some fresh topics to distinguish from other movies, the plot revolving the mother was totally cliché, the "I want to save the planet, so I'll join the the villain side, but the villain turned out to be using me and fooled me the whole time" has been done so many times and it didn't bring a new perspective or a fresh take on the plot, specially with her sacrifice in the end...cliché from start to the end.
Overall I was satisfied with this chapter, and can't wait to see what's to come
