Missing takes the same formula of Searching and expands on it in every single way. There were so many new folds in technology that were used in the film based on a younger character's perspective and technological innovations since 2018. The editing was fantastic with some very creative mashups of different apps in certain montages. While the acting is not as good as the original, mainly due to the absence of John Cho, everyone does enough to maintain a sense of believability in the plot. This film for me was much more gripping than the original, the pace and tension was amped up creating a very streamlined viewing experience. I looked at my phone thinking the movie was only 30 minutes in, and it was over an hour, it flew by. There were plenty of twists in this film, some I could see coming and other that I was completely blown away by. Towards the end, a certain plot point was introduced that almost lost me, but it turns it self around and saves it from ruining the entire experience. I wish the ending would have been better, but overall it was great film that improves on the original.
