I saw Gladiator2 and I loved every minute of it. The action was great although some of animal CGI was a bit obvious (e.g baboons & sharks). I loved the plot as well which avoided being a retread of the original.
I also thought the theme of fighting for the idea of Rome and democracy which keeps getting corrupted by tyrannical rulers was quite relevant to our time.

If by "world" you mean planet...
Yep, the planet will endure.
No question.
However, life as we know it may become extinct on the planet.
We've already ridden that train so far that recovery may not even be possible.
What we do in the immediate future is critical and for the next 2yrs minimum, progress will not only not be made but will be rescinded.
That will cost us more than we imagine.
