The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part Dvd

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is a 2019 computer-animated adventure comedy film produced by the Warner Animation Group and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Directed by Mike Mitchell, it is a sequel to The Lego Movie (2014), the fourth film in the franchise following the releases of 2017’s The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie. The film stars Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, Alison Brie, Nick Offerman, and Will Ferrell reprising their roles from the previous film, while new cast members include Stephanie Beatriz, Tiffany Haddish and Maya Rudolph. In the film, Emmet Brickowski attempts to rescue his friends from the Systar System, while dealing with a coming cataclysm known as “Armamageddon”.

Plans for a sequel began in 2014 and was announced to be in the works on February 3, 2014. It was announced a few months later that the film was being directed by Chris McKay while Phil Lord and Christopher Miller remained as writers and producers. The film since underwent many changes, such as rewrites, directors, and release dates.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part was released in the United States and United Kingdom on February 8, 2019, in 3D, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, IMAX, IMAX 3D, and 4DX formats. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who commended its humor, animation, soundtrack, and voice acting, although some said it was not as “fresh” as the first film. With a gross of over $192 million worldwide against a budget of $99 million, the film was a box office disappointment compared to previous films in the series, prompting Warner Bros. to sell the film rights to The Lego Movie franchise to Universal Pictures, later set for a 5-year deal.

Plot

Following the events at the end of the first film, Duplo aliens arrive in the Lego universe and threaten destruction. Emmet builds the aliens a heart as a token of friendship, but one eats it and demands more. Lucy and the Master Builders believe this to be an attack and retaliate, and the ensuing battle ravages Bricksburg.

Five years later, the now-teenaged Finn has rebuilt Bricksburg as “Apocalypseburg”. Within the Lego universe, they have been ravaged by repeated Duplo attacks, and several of their friends have gone missing searching for the Duplo home planet. Emmet remains upbeat in stark contrast to Lucy and his friends, though he has visions of an impending “armamageddon”. A mini-doll called General Sweet Mayhem arrives and kidnaps all of Emmet’s friends and takes them to the shape-shifting empress of the “Systar System”, Queen Watevera Wa’Nabi. Wa’Nabi is able to seemingly brainwash Emmet’s friends into accepting the joy of her world, and convinces Batman to marry her as a way to unite the Lego and Duplo worlds, with only Lucy remaining skeptical of Wa’Nabi’s plans.

Back in Apocalypseburg, Emmet tries to convince the Master Builders to help him save Lucy and the rest of his friends, but they refuse to help, believing that he isn’t tough enough to go through the Systar System, and slam the door in his face. Emmet subsequently crafts a spaceship to pursue Mayhem by passing through the “Stairgate”. The ship is heavily damaged and nearly collides with an asteroid field, but is saved in time by rugged adventurer Rex Dangervest. After hearing Emmet’s story, Rex offers to help and takes them to the Systar System, and en route, Emmet tries to emulate some of Rex’s mannerisms. When they arrive, they quickly reunite with Lucy and learn of the marriage plans, which Rex insists must be a front to bring on “armamageddon”.

As the wedding starts, Emmet, Rex, and Lucy split up to sabotage the event. However, Lucy is intercepted by Mayhem, who insists the wedding is intended to prevent “armamageddon”. At the ceremony, Wa’Nabi reveals her true form: the heart that Emmett tried to give the Duplo invaders. Realizing that Mayhem is right, Lucy tries to stop Emmet, but he crashes the ceremony. In reality, Finn, after finding that Bianca had taken his Lego figures, has smashed her own creations. Emmet realizes his mistake, but is seized by Rex, who reveals he is a version of himself from the future. Rex had collided with the asteroids, and ended up under the dryer, forgotten by Finn. To ensure his future existence, he changed his appearance and created a time-travel machine to return to help Emmet but ensure “armamageddon” came to pass. When Emmet tries to fight back, Rex knocks him under the same dryer, ensuring that he would continue to exist.

In the real world, Finn and Bianca’s mother is fed up with the kids’ bickering, and orders them to put away the Lego toys as punishment; Lucy recognizes this as Emmet’s “armamageddon” (as in “our mama gets in”). Both the Lego and Duplo figures are put into the “Bin of Storajj” and fear they will not escape.

Meanwhile, Finn and Bianca reconcile and start playing together. In the Lego universe, this act inspires Lucy and the others to escape the Bin and help rebuild Wa’Nabi’s world. Lucy helps to save Emmet from Rex and destroy his time machine. Emmet comes to accept he will never be as skilled as Rex, and with this self-realization, Rex fades from existence, correcting a time paradox.

Finn and Bianca’s mother sees them playing together, and happily watches them. The Lego universe is recreated as a mish-mash of Apocalypseburg and the Systar System, renamed “Syspocalypstar”. Emmet’s home is rebuilt, and the film ends with Lucy making Emmet a gift of the original album of “Everything Is Awesome”, revealing that she co-originated the song, causing Emmet to gasp in shock.
