Everything I've read says that this is a sequel in "spirit" only. I'm assuming it takes place in the same universe?

The first one was a found footage Godzilla type movie. I was under the impression that this is a whole-movie-takes-place-in-one-room type deals. Think Hateful Eight except instead of a blizzard there has been a chemical attack...

We don't know yet, there's all kinds of speculation today

Spoiler!

We don't know if the creature in the last movie was killed at all. Abrams said he was, but at the end of the movie there's an audio clip that says "Its still alive".

Maybe the American's eventually had to go full nuclear on it, and Goodman was a crazy guy with a bomb shelter.

The other thing that was really intriguing was that the original monster was a newborn. What if a full grown one came out of the ocean?

That could explain the quake.

As well we had those parasites running around exploding people, what if they became an infestation.

Or it could just be a chemical spill go wrong, maybe the soft drink that they were marketing which was rumored to come from the ocean floor had an adverse effect on the people drinking it.
