TANGERANGㅡ Stranger Things season four was already larger and better than any previous season. It was obviously more expensively made, with a bigger cast and a clearer understanding of why all the beasts, and heroes are there. A wildly yet gloriously vast four-hour film that achieves everything fans could have hoped for and then some. But, even if it hasn't exactly extended itself yet, you have to wonder where Stranger Things may go from here.

Hawkins, Indiana, in the year 1986, where the demonic Vecna, who roams a murky realm underneath the town, is patiently waiting for a bunch of intrepid youngsters to launch the last attack on him. Eleven, a psychic superheroine played by Millie Bobby Brown, has uncovered memories from her childhood, which were stored in a secure facility for children who possessed unusual powers. These memories reveal that Eleven was the one who opened the interdimensional portal when she confronted One, a fellow inmate who had committed murder, thus transforming one into the vengeful Vecna. In the meanwhile, a group of likable adults is incarcerated in a filthy Soviet Union jail, where they are engaged in a fight against a monster from an earlier season.

The storyline continues to be unconcerned with the possibility that its adolescent actors may not be a suitable match for the next reference that its creators, the Duffer brothers, wish to make. As a result, the show continues to cycle through the cinematic cliches of the 1980s. Season 4 creates a season-long side plot involving Jim Hopper surviving and escaping a Russian gulag, effectively making a second 1980s B-movie in parallel with the 1980s horror pastiche in the main plot of the show. 

Strange Things has a complicated plot so that it cannot be enjoyed casually without any burden, in fact, this show will lead us to complicated thoughts and the experience of watching a scary adventure together, the setting is very good and captivates the audience, "Episodes still feel overlong, but the stakes seem real again and the world genuinely terrifying, far more in keeping with the show's Stephen King influences than any aimless feelgood Goonies vibe. Stranger Things is scary and strange again." Andrew said, one of the connoisseurs of this film, it is true that this long but very good episode makes Stranger Things a tolerable horror thriller.

Once this sentimental theory has been carefully put in place, the fireworks finally begin and they don’t disappoint, with no big surprises various characters find themselves on the periphery of defeat in a fight to the death before outlooks of what actually matters to them give them the strength to rally at the last second) but a lot of outstanding verdicts. The last two episodes are unexpectedly campy, offering practically every character a poignant, watershed two-hander with a significant person. Lost love is grieved, halting youthful love grows closer to being fully expressed, and the show’s barely noticeable clues about Will played by Noah Schnapp starts to feel something with his friend, Mike, and become something more overt during his poignant monologue about learning to live with being different.

There are a lot of scenes that will have you on the edge of your seat, with outstanding cinematography, visual effects, makeup, and CGI, as well as incredible music that is packed with feeling. Even though it has a pretty lengthy duration, volume 2 gives the ideal conclusion to season 4, and it was well worth the audience's patience in waiting for it over the course of the previous five weeks. The conclusion of the scene actually makes sense and is a bit of a relief, but there are points where some aspects look odd. This can be attributed to the fact that season 5 will likely be released at a later date, but overall, this film is like watching for those who really like thrilling adventure stories that look very real.
