Our take
This PG-13 survival sequel strands two climbers on a narrow plank 3,000 feet up a Thai mountain after a rockslide. Grief over a sister who died in the first film, vertigo-inducing heights, and bloody injury images make it intense for tweens despite the teen-friendly rating.
Uplifting themes
Cooperation and pushing through fear are survival themes once the rockslide traps the climbers Jax and Luce show resilience under extreme conditions, though their choice to attempt the stunt is questionable
