The cast was great so I figured this would be just as good as its predecessor. However, this was nothing like the first one! It felt so SciFi instead of a murder mystery that it didn't seem like it should have been in the same universe as the first movie, but an entirely different movie. I may have liked it better had they done it that way. The first one had a creepy vintage vibe that made it interesting. It also seemed like the detective also didn't take himself seriously during this movie, which I also didn't like. It's not terrible, just a step in the wrong direction from the first movie. I wouldn't watch it again.
