I had forgotten about the Snickers bar being the reason why the entire facility gets routed. It is a powerfully stupid but I guess necessary part of the plot because something has to happen to the facility, right? It begs a lot of questions like "wouldn't they have an immense amount of safeguards to prevent exactly this sort of thing from happening? Like one single door failure causes the ENTIRE facility to go into system shutdown? There's no override? What happens when doors fail for other reasons because I don't know if most people are aware of this, but doors regularly fail for a wide variety of reasons.

The petrol station filled with snacks was equally dumb and was put in merely to have an aisle throwback to the first movie. Where are the potential customers coming from? They all work there as scientists do they not? Surely they wouldn't just be taking holidays down to the shore on their days off. It's dumb.

But that being said just like you experienced there are so many reasons why so much of this film is just crazy stupid, but still, it was one of my more enjoyable theater experiences in recent YEARS and I am very glad I went. Part of the reason why is because I didn't expect it to be anything other than what it is, just like all the other JP movies.
