The film is largely unrelated to the plot and cast of Mysterious Island (2011), but shares many key crew members including the producer and director.[1]

Release

Mysterious Island 2 was released in China on January 26, 2013.[1] It did not have as strong box office returns in China as the original film did grossing only a fifth of the amount that Mysterious Island did.[1]

Reception

Film Business Asia gave the film a score of four out of ten, stating that "as the script abandons any attempt at coherence, and the direction, jazzy camerawork and feverish editing follow suit, the only mystery about this Island is how it ever came to be thrown together in the first place."[1]
