Well, after reading some of the comments, decided to watch this movie. As previously mentioned, the acting was very poor for the most part. Plot holes everywhere, shoddy fx (there is a scene where a guy gets an axe in the back. As he leans forwards in pain, you can *clearly* see the fact that the axe is rubber, and the blade is bent at right angles to the guys back). The fact that this is left in the final cut should tell you something about the quality of this film.
The fact it was called 'The Cell 2' seems just a vehicle to get bums on seats. Whereas the first was an imaginary, well shot and directed movie with real suspense, and a feeling of dread; this movie is boring, predicable and plods along waiting for something to happen, but never does.
I'm sure one of the special effects used in this movie, is actually a superimposed screensaver from you-know-which software giant. Watch it, and I'm sure you will spot it.
Even if you have seen it many times, watching the first one again (or any other film for that matter) will be way more enjoyable than trying to sit through this waste of time.
