Super sequel to old film

3 stars

23 Nov 2022

This film is about evacuation in World War II, three children evacuated into the country where the previous actors of the prequel railway children may still be Bobby is the carer and they will embark on a journey of trying to save Abraham a young soldier who actually isn’t over 18 his age is revealed at the end of the film so I’m not going to spoil it The three children and bark with their friends on a journey through the railway in World War II their secret base, also known as a train carriage that was abandoned in a scrap-yard, Was taken over by young Abraham he later on becomes a main character

My opinion of this plot is that it isn’t as good as the original The scenes could be set A little bit better but it shouldn’t be criticised that much. The specific scene of the bombing really scared me as it was very sudden the plane it was flying over looks like it would’ve been an English plane since it was the countryside which normally isn’t bombed and it was very sudden, Compared to the railway children original, the original was a lot better as this film was it a long time ago but made last year so people wouldn’t be good at remembering something long ago.

My favourite moment in the film was When they all waved a red flag to try and stop the train this was because they were trying to save Abraham and the eldest of their siblings I would recommend this film to anyone who didn’t like the original because it wasn’t as up-to-date and my overall opinion is that this film wasn’t as good as the sequel because it’s not the original and normally the original is always better
