28 Years Later

"I loved the first two and I was excited to watch this one. The actors were great, specially Ralph Fiennes. The story was fine but could have been better."

"A fantastic film. While it is essentially a tale of a family surviving years into the Rage Virus apocalypse from the first film, I was especially struck by the surprising amount of emotional heft this film had (came close to tearing up actually) on top of making the child the main protagonist. Easily the direction by Danny Boyle (especially with use of quick cuts and cameras) along with the acting (and even writing) are the MVPs here, with Alfie Williams proving a fantastic breakout performance as the young protagonist and Jodie Comer being the film’s emotional heart as his mother. Strong supporting performances by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes as well, not to mention a bonkers cameo towards the end by Jack O’Connell that perfectly sets up the next films (Jack is having quite a year in the zombie/vampire movie genres this year between this and SINNERS). Highly recommended."

"This was super weird, but in the best way possible. It was the perfect mix of gory and emotional."

"I liked a lot about this movie; the zombies, the characters, the cinematography, the subtext criticism of masculinity, war, humanity, and savagery. The script was particularly good in some parts (i.e. conversations between the character and his mother). However, I also thought that there were some really out-of-left-field choices that I'm sure will eventually be important to the franchise, but they felt very random and nonsensical. There's a beautiful moment in the movie about death and acceptance, but then the movie just continues on and feels very confusing at the end. I hope further installments better flesh out the world and give us more answers. Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, and Alfie Williams were spectacular, while Aaron Taylor Johnson was in the movie for less than I expected (although he was also good)."

"Honestly, if he grew up watching Teletubbies under those circumstances and had a dad like that, I'm not surprised that he turned out the way he did."

"I might be in the minority when I say I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Stellar acting from the entire cast. Fantastic camerawork considering the entire movie was shot on iPhones coupled with fancy camera lenses. It gave the film that grainy home video feel that was prevalent in 28 Days Later. The ending is indeed anticlimactic, so I can see that dividing viewers, but I'm excited for what's to come next in this franchise. "

"I didn’t have high expectations I won’t lie the other two are some of my favorite takes on zombies and I just didn’t have a lot of faith that this one would be as good. I was right to a degree I don’t think it’s as good as the other two but it’s really good compared to what I thought it was going to be."

"Maybe I’m just not from the UK and missing important cultural references. Maybe I should have watched the first two movies before watching this one. I frankly don’t know why this movie is so “controversial” there is quite nothing interesting enough in its content to discuss it in depth. Baller poster though. Sound design was confusing but enjoyable. Special effects were cute. Why are there 5G towers in the UK if they were taken over by the rage virus though? "

"Pretty good - the end was weird but the rest kept you on your toes."

"Mid. Good acting. Story has a silly ending that didn’t fit. Watch this one at home. "
