This latest installment is an unfortunate revival that has damaged the series it belongs to. The movie felt empty and lacking in creativity, showing no consideration for the initial narrative. While the beginning was promising, the film seemed unsure of its direction, and the decisions characters made stretched believability to a breaking point; it’s hard to imagine these are people who managed to live through nearly…

The initial portion, lasting roughly an hour, centers on characters who ultimately don’t matter to what happens later. There's a kid who is enjoyable, and the mother too. It felt like a slog getting through it all. I wish they had spent more time dealing with the situation involving the person from whom the baby was taken; he seemed interesting. He possessed an infant child, which is quite unusual. It could ha…

What on earth did I just sit through? **SPOILERS AHEAD!** The initial hour and fourteen minutes felt bizarre, foolish, and an enormous waste of my time. Dean’s 1/10 rating seems entirely justified. The first seventeen minutes were almost unbearable. I guess “Boots” might have some historical importance, but all it did was constantly pull me out of the story. The choice to incorporate medieval scenes and …

I can’t accept the higher ratings some people are giving this film; they seem like promotional pieces. I honestly can’t imagine anyone who isn’t being paid finding anything worthwhile in a rating above 4 out of 10. Having seen and really enjoyed *28 Days Later* and *28 Weeks Later*, which I consider to be exceptional zombie films—truly the best, as far as I'm concerned—I was eager to see this third installment. Un…

'28 Years Later' provides a really solid film; I wouldn’t place it dramatically behind the original, which is admittedly better. I had anticipated something more intensely disturbing from the promotional material, especially given that memorable (and excellent) incorporation of Rudyard Kipling's "Boots." Even so, it manages to be unsettling at times, and for me, represents the closest these films have gotten to ge…

“28 Years Later” distinguishes itself significantly from earlier installments. It’s essentially a story about what it means to come into possession of a world that has transformed, yet fundamentally stays the same. It's important to recall that everyone experiences life and eventually faces death. In this narrative, the zombie element recedes somewhat as the central characters are confronted with the realities…

It’s been a long wait—a full 18 years since 28 Weeks Later came out—and I know I'm not alone in having really high hopes for this next installment. The story takes place 28 years after the initial outbreak, within a UK that’s now entirely walled off and divided into quarantined zones. We follow a family living in one of these protected villages. The father has a job that requires him to scout outside the village b…

It has been nearly three decades since Cillian Murphy's character appeared in a hospital gown, yet the so-called “rage” virus doesn’t seem to be going away, and with Britain essentially separated from Europe, there are few places that haven’t experienced its effects. The island of Lindisfarne, shielded by the tides, is one such safe place, and it's home to "Spike" (Alfie Williams), his father (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), …

The latest installment, "28 Years Later," isn’t flawless, but it's certainly an ambitious and impressive entry in the series. It showcases a higher level of technical skill and boasts strong acting performances. While not every narrative gamble succeeds, the film’s thematic scope is something to be appreciated; however, integrating all its components into a unified story proves challenging. Directors Danny Boyle a…

This movie isn’t entirely without merit, though. The initial portion was quite engaging, with an opening sequence that brought to mind 28 Weeks Later. However, the narrative then shifts abruptly to follow different characters for the majority of the film. While this could have worked—perhaps offering a glimpse into how the infection unfolded twenty-eight years prior—the ending includes a callback that feels strangely…

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this movie. It seemed like a big-budget zombie film with professionals involved, which suggested it would be decent. However, I’ve never been crazy about the franchise itself, and this one kicks off a new series of three films. So while I figured it would be watchable, I wasn't certain if it would resonate with me or feel complete on its own. After seeing it, I was pleased, and my op…

There’s simply a huge number of foolish, senseless, and poorly thought-out concepts presented here. Initially, the movie has a decent beginning, however, the main character seems irrelevant to what follows, making their introduction feel like a missed opportunity. The storyline unexpectedly shifts direction roughly midway through after that promising start. I suppose the altered infected creatures were int…
