Why no clubs, spears, warhammers or swords? I understand longbows, as you can make more arrows as needed, but they seriously need more than a swiss knife. Small village can certainly make steel weapons too.

How is that lil twink not chased down and eaten within seconds?

>>63911716 (OP)
the zombies aren't retarded in that movie lol there's a reason why they had to have a fucking ocean seperate them from the main land

>>63911722
>>63911744
The rage virus per the lore is super contagious. In the first movie a main character got infected by a single drop of blood landing in his eye.

Idk if you've ever seen crime scene photos but blades and clubs create a shitload of splatter and spray.

Also movie has lots of English symbolism and long bow is about as English as it gets.

>>63911723
Of course, but when it is not possible to do so? Also spears could be just sharpened and firehardened wooden poles. Keep the infected as far as possible, and after use just leave it.

>>63911768
Spears no bueno because they swarm. Best strat is engage at distance and run away. If you're using a blade or mace you're out numbered and will die.

>>63911750
If you are caught in CQC with zombies, I'd expect you to have at least some visor to protect your face, full clothing, and ideally something as thick as a fashion magazine wrapped around the arms under the clothes to use in case of you have to push a zombie away with your hands.
Blunt weapons can cause splatter but not generally towards the wielder. If you are so turbofucked as to need them, this is a nice compromise. A warhammer with a flat end would be pretty effective.

>>63911782
If you're in CWB you're dead. So rather pack light so you can fucking RUN

>>63911787
*CQB

>>63911716 (OP)
Also why no face and eye protection when in previous movies you can get infected by a single drop of blood hitting your eye?

>>63911787
>>63911791
You will also die if you become Companions With Benefits with a zombie, at least if you don't wear a rubber

>>63911750
>and long bow is about as English as it gets.

But they don't even use longbows, they use shitty little prop bows

>>63911793
True. I would not take construction goggles off at all if I would end up in the mainland.

>>63911716 (OP)
Ironically the sentai Jimmy Saville fan club had decent tactics for dealing with the infected, flash and flair aside.

>>63911936
>the sentai Jimmy Saville fan club

u wot

>>63911936
That shit was so jarring. Idk why the fuck they included that in what was already a very schizo film
>First 1/4 is fantasticly filmed, high paced, absolute thriller that made me so anxious that I was at times genuinely uncomfortable
>Next 2/4 is a random road-trip/coming of age story

>>63913263

The what

>>63911716 (OP)
Thoes are pretty short long bows

>>63911782
The whole "just wear full body protection all the time" keyboard advice really shows that some people just don't fucking go outside. Hiking around in all that shit is going to exhaust you and lower you ability to watch your surroundings.
>Oh so just put that stuff on when encountering infected!
The rage infected sprint at you. You ain't putting all that shit on. And if you did, it's not like it would help, they attack in mobs. If you've ever wrestled IRL (and that's just 1v1, not 1vMob) you'll understand how useless any of that gear will be in hand to hand because it is just going to get ripped right the fuck off.
The smart move is to do exactly what the father son pair did and run, while occasionally leapfrogging to fire back at the infected.

>>63911716 (OP)
>Why no clubs, spears, warhammers or swords?
because fromt what I gathered, they're hunters, not raiders

>>63911716 (OP)
Better question: Why not slings?
It is a hell of a lot easier to find a rock than it is to make arrows.

>>63911936
1 good tactic they used on 1 zombie, the rest was retarded.

Why not just use privately owned guns and shittons of stockpiled ammunit-
>bongs
oh yeah, lmfao

Why did the zombies go from starving to death in 2 months, to surviving in Britain for 28 years, without clothing?

>>63916111
All the decadent modern zombies died out, leaving only those who have RETVRNED to their pre-Roman roots.

>>63911716 (OP)
The opening sequence was so stupid.

>>63911750
>In the first movie a main character got infected by a single drop of blood landing in his eye.
Earlier the same character beats an infected to death in full riot gear.

>>63915359
Historical slings that are rotated are wildly inaccurate and only work in large scale battles where you have high volume of fire trying to hit a wall of people, modern slings are also wildly inaccurate if you're not using actual balls they're meant to shoot.

>>63911716 (OP)
Great movie btw. At the end of the movie, they used melee weapons, but it was a little wacky. In terms of spears and stuff, im assuming its because the zombies are running and theres dozens of them at a time. I think spears would work in the context of the movie but only when the defenders are numerous and their spears are extra long. They would still be using bows though.
What I dont get about the movie though, is that why didnt they make guns. Im sure they explained it in the previous movies, but I havent watched them. If you had 28 years to scavenge for stuff, you'd probably be able to make basic guns. There are plenty of metals and stuff like old ping pong balls to make a few guns and a few cartridges. Not enough to make a difference, but a black powder shotgun would be more than doable with the island's tech.

>>63911936
What I didnt get is how there were like 6 zombies that were running at them relatively close together, and then when they do the gymnastics it suddenly cuts to them dealing with one zombie at a time

>>63911716 (OP)

Mate, every action movie with group fights does that. Once you see it you csn't unsee it. The worst are 1 vs many fights where if, instead of looking at the main character and whichever mook he's fighting like you're meant to, you look at the mooks the MC isn't fighting and you literally see them standing around or shuffling goofily. Look for it. I'm not kidding. It's fucking terrible and it's everywhere.

>>63916731
Maybe all movies and all actors are just strict adherents to bushido code

>>63911716 (OP)
All got stolen by the Jimm Savile Power Ranger cult gang. Either way it's more unrealistic that the UK didn't get completely scourged by the combined might of the first world.

>>63916651
Yea but modern wrist sling shots aren’t inaccurate. A great way to utilize rocks found on the ground and will be a light way to carry a lot of small “ammo”

>>63916931
ok but how would they get rubber for slingshots? chew up a bunch of condoms until they're malleable and spit them out into a forge where the village blacksmith slaps them with his cock until they have a string of rubber and laytex? That's an easy way to get infected since the condoms would be covered in bodily fluids

>>63917003
Sling and slingshot are different things. Also inner tubes in bike tyres.

>>63913209
Here you go.

>>63917155
kek, it's almost Taken fence jumping level

>>63911847
Imagine if they went full in on it. People in full plate bashing zombies to death with hm warhammers..

>>63911793
Wasn't it funny how the soldiers who were predictably bodied by the zombies were dressed in full tactical gear, except for the googles? The one protective thing they needed was absent.

>>63917137
I was replying to this guy retard: >>63916931

Also the islanders would have to have licenses for bikes, and licenses to get the tubes from the bikes, and it would all depend on the original pre-outbreak owners having had licenses for bikes in the first place.

Comes to think of it, did any of the characters have licenses for their bows?

>>63917525
As entertaining loicense shitposting would be Bong culture stopped in 2001 in the 28 days universe. Therefore its before they go full retard mode and banned everything.

So in otherwords the 28 years later is a paradise compared to our current reality for the Bongs.

First 1/4 is absolute unadulterated kino. Best cinema I have seen in a long time. It just kinda loses steam and tries to do too much in the rest of the movie.

Also lots of symbolism that I can't quite figure out. It's either super pro-UK or anti-brexit and idk which one it's doing. Which makes it gooder I guess.

>>63911716 (OP)

From the beginning up to the party of the dad and kid returning could have been the whole movie. Like one weird glimpse into the mainland with lots of unresolved questions and that's all you get.

>>63917705
>ITT retards still acting like infected in the 28 movies are slow zombies that just meekly stumble at you and slowly pull and bite, not adrenaline maxxed tweakers attacking you in a group

>>63917549
I liked it a lot. Most criticism I saw about it is overblown if not outright retarded, it's a good movie

>>63918129
I dunno, that scene where that alpha infected rapes Ralph Fiennes was pretty weird.

>>63918137
The only thing I find weird is why the doctor or the kid don't kill the alpha after sedating him. I get that he's needed plot-wise, but there's no in universe explanation
Also, why doesn't the father try to find his kid and his wife after they run away?
Other than that I still find the movie enjoyable. I prefer the first half of it, but the second half is also good in its own way, and the last scene is a bit weird but not completely off-putting like some are saying

>>63918182
The Doc sees the infected as just a different, valid kind of lifeform. It's like a guy who lives in the wilderness where there are a bunch of dangerous animals. He views them as just doing their thing, not something that needs to be killed in sight. That's why he has a nickname for that alpha and knows how long it's been in the area- he's been around it for a long time.
Like everyone else in the movie said: dude was a little nuts

>>63918182
>The only thing I find weird is why the doctor or the kid don't kill the alpha after sedating him
it fucking happened twice, second time doc almost got his spine predator'd and they still let this freak live

>Jimmy Savile and the fever dream ending

The fact it was just longbow fellating and the main character didn't challenge the zombies to a game of footy shows extreme restraint on the part of whatever mong decided the opening scene needed the kid to literally cry "Father, why have you forsaken me" in a church as his actual father gets torn to shreds while laughing
>>63911750
Except multiple times the main characters get splashed and nobody bats an eye beyond a quick wipedown, hell they even "forgot" the flock of birds was supposed to be spreading the infection

>>63918325
>>63918335
First third is really good
Second third is eh?
Last third is just retarded nonsense

When the Swedes appear is when the film really takes a dramatic dip in quality and there are is so much unresolved shit that it was clear they were planning for it all to be dealt with in a sequel, a sequel getting made by a diversity hire. It honestly felt like this was 4-5 different films chopped apart then mashed together into one. There is also some downright retarded shit like how the city of Newcastle is apparently now on the West coast of England.

>>63918325
What’s so bad about the second one except for the n*gger and *merican actors?

>>63918401
>Second third is eh?
>Last third is just retarded nonsense
That's harsh, yeah the different parts of the movie are quite different from one another on some aspects, but they all have their own qualities
Even tho I prefered the first part, the coming of age stuff, the relation with the doctor and the death of the mother were still pretty touching and emotional imo. The short time the protagonists spend with the Swede soldier was pretty funny (until the poor guy gets his head ripped off)
The ending with the gang of saville's lookalikes is weird but not catastrophically bad

>>63918443
Making this more /k/, man the red dots on those rifle bugged the shit out of me. It always triggers my tism in movies when they put microdots straight onto the rail of ARs like that.
A lot of the other gear issues I can chalk up to the fact the soldiers were basically just conscripts/inexperienced guys who weren't super hardcore soldiers and who probably grabbed whatever they could before making landfall. Stuff like the vests having shotgun shells but nobody with a shotgun and the droplegs hanging on their knees can all be waved away as the guys just raiding the gear room as fast as possible and grabbing whatever. But those red dots are something that would have been set up already. I scratch my head at movie armorers letting this happen. Like, did the movie armorer not have either risers or full sized optics to put on there?
That said, I kind of liked how the Swede soldier was a total goober. When he and the mom & kid were walking through the woods and the soldier was making small talk at the top of his lungs it really cemented that he was just a total retard.

>>63918325
Its schizo as fuck. Interesting and weird. Doesn't all work, but I'll take that over some cookie cutter product of a movie.
I really dug the random inserts of old movie footage and wish the movie had done more of that.

There is a difference between being holed up in a stationary location, and having to hike all over the place.
How far do you think that guy would get before heatstroking or taking that shit off?
Also heavy gear like that only works if there is one direction where he's being attacked from. If he is just out and about he'll get tackled.

>>63918538

none of that left4dead special infected video game faggotry was even remotely present in the first one

>>63918557
Right, but we are talking about the third movie. And how people in that should have dressed like the guy in the first movie.
So, let us imagine the people in the third movie are dressed like this guy according to these suggestions.
How does this help against an alpha? How does this help when being attacked at the same time from multiple directions?

>>63918568
>And how people in that should have dressed like the guy in the first movie

presumably, over the course of 28 years, this type of equipment or gear is either gone, destroyed or on an infected person

I cant imagine the UK (being the total size of the state of alabama) has infinite quantities of riot gear on hand, especially with no 'self-defense' culture like the US..shit like that would have been ONLY found at police/military locations which would have been first looted and lost

and in the 2nd movie, london is literally fire-bombed to ash, so the preponderance of it was lost there
but yah, if you could find the last riot suit in town, its probably one of the better outfits you can wear to tank infecteds in a confined space

>>63918568
>How does this help against an alpha? How does this help when being attacked at the same time from multiple directions?
"it doesnt"

its not like any other 'regular infected' couldnt get into a wrestling match with you and rip it off anyway
the entire take away of that scene was to show he was an armored hulk with a shield, in a confined space exactly the size of his armor, making him an 'impassable wall'

notice how he wasnt wearing it when they were out driving the country side

>>63918588
I know, I'm just engaging with the idea while ignoring the logistics. Pretty much every piece of zombie fiction has people online constantly suggesting stacking a ton of armor and gear as the best solution, while ignoring that if you're traveling on foot it's impractical. In 28 movies it's even worse because if you're out in the open the armor won't help against a mob anyway.
Dude in the first movie was in a static position and defending from one direction. Very situational but people are too low IQ to understand different situations exist

>>63918443
>>63918507
Since into full spoilers mode the Swedes were the biggest plot hole of the movie. They were supposed to be a bunch of sailors shipwrecked that drifted ashore but they had time to fully load up with tactical gear and function like soldiers? Yeah I don't buy it. They look like a commando team but fight and act absolutely incompetent as fuck that they made Liberian Cannibals seem competent with a gun. Just didn't work the way they were implemented into the film. There was a great story potentially there about some young sailors being washed up in a hostile foreign land full of monsters with very limited supplies and equipment and having to learn from locals how to survive but the writers just didn't fucking see it. Hell that could have been the whole premise of the movie and it would have stuck the landing a lot better. Imagine them trying to figure out are they dealing with some mutated infected or just your average Briton?

>>63918594
I know, that's all my point. People are so concerned with blood splatter they forget that wearing armor means preparing to go hand to hand with essentially a bunch of murderous methheads that are running at you in a pack. I dunno man I don't think that out in the open I could hand to hand fight 20 insane people who don't feel pain and win. The move is to run away and kill them from a distance when possible. Any piece of gear that slows me down is a problem.
Zombieland was right: Cardio keeps you alive more than anything else. (People do not want to hear this truth)

>>63918651
They said their ship hit a rock. It is possible it was slowly but inevitably sinking and stuck on the rock. Certainly such things have happened where a ship sinks over the course of an hour or so.
I figured they were the equivalent of a VBSS or whatever, but they were not the elite. I've seen this IRL in peacekeeping bases where there is a perimeter guard who look scary at a glance, but they've never actually seen any action and don't expect to, and when an emergency happens they have no idea what to do.

>>63918653
Even running away is a major problem, those twitchy cunts run every waking moment since they're infected and only marginally feel pain. They will catch you up real fast.

>>63918651
>They were supposed to be a bunch of sailors shipwrecked that drifted ashore but they had time to fully load up with tactical gear and function like soldiers?

are you fundamentally retarded? (already know the answer to that, youre /k/ posting)

>>63918719
Anon, nobody is talking about the no rescues thing. You're explaining something nobody is confused about. The first anon was questioning how they kitted up so much of their main ship sank, and how retarded they were. Second anon was responding to first anon talking about sinking and soldiers being dumb. Nothing you said contributed anything and you're screaming about the no rescue stuff like a retarded zoomer who can't read

hope that clears that massive, glaring plot-hole up for you

I'm going to see this tonight with my heckin wiferino. The idea of the military incursion is interesting, because there are valid reasons for jaunting into Zombie Island, such as for the recovery of nuclear weapons. I'm fully prepared to have a good time at the movies regardless but I am betting that I (a former sailor) could give the bong writers some notes. I will say that I'm glad the sailors are Other NATO (apparently Sweden joined NATO in this alternate universe as well). Even though I was in the US military I am kinda tired of seeing it on screen.

>>63918901
>Post screens that never made it into the movie
>IT TOTALLY EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPENED GUYS!
Fuck you are beyond retard? The movie does not make it clear at all what the Swedes are doing there. They do not act like professionals and the guy literally says they were shipwrecked and drifted to shore. None of the narrative and way they act fits at all with the story we've been given.

>>63918911
They just randomly show up with no explanation out the blue and die off in a bitch ass way. They just stand there to be killed. When in the open. With automatic weapons.

>>63918911
Hope you enjoy the movie despite the flaws people have been listing here, I know I did
Curious to know what you thought of it, in general and about the military stuff

I liked the stuff related to community life on the island

sounds like the average peasants feudal knights would cut to pieces

>>63918938
I tell you this, I'd stay at sea, even in a RHIB, if there was a no rescue on land policy. On my way, I'll lyk what I think.

>>63919124
OK just watched it and tbf they explained that it was pushed in by the current. And in the US cut they definitely showed the RHIB. I think that it would have worked a lot better to have maybe 1-2 guns between the sailors and a few of them be badly injured. There aren't a lot of guns on a warship and they are basically all locked up. But really having outsiders didn't help the plot at all. I loved the first 1/3 of the film but it fell down in the middle and the Jimmy Saville ending was bewildering.

>>63919006
Just repeat to yourself it's just a show I should really just relax.

>>63918182
The infected in these movies scare the fucking shit out of me. Just the uncanny way they flail around and scream while running or blank stare at you from a distance and how fast the run at you, shit is fucked up.

Fellas let's be real here, this piece of shit is the real reason why they couldn't contain the original outbreak to begin with.

>>63920089
I'm also curious as to what became of the Royal Navy and RAF after the outbreak. I sincerely doubt all of the UK's military would have been wiped out.

>>63911727
An unusually well written movie in 2025 would be a mediocre flop in 1990

>>63918228

I mean, it makes sense. He was probably just some regular NHS doctor when the shit hit the fan, his normal life up to that point was pretty much over.

>>63920093
Prob fucked off to France, thats what I would do. Take a patrol boat load it and gtfo.

>>63920089
It is also why they reverted to bows and spears lmao

>>63919991
Yeah the kit they had didn't signal "sailors who survived a shipwreck". Quite the opposite. Costume design was retarded.

>>63921999
Everything about their guns was off too. They had frankenPDW ARs with pistol dots. How do you have Swedes without Aimpoints? The photography of their redshirt boogaloo was really jarring too. They hit the beach like a raiding party and charged into like 20 tweakers, which should have been easy to dispatch with the eight machine guns at their disposal. They should have been covered in oil and had like two pistols and one long gun, their RHIB torn to shit, etc. I could believe them getting overrun if they looked like actual shipwrecked sailors.

>>63922053
Also double white lights in the helmet. What is that?

>>63920093
Probably folded into the US armed forces given they were the ones to secure and operate the safe zone in the second movie, . That movie also established everything went to shit in a very short time frame and even the zombies were starved of people to consume.
(idk if the zombies being starved canon implies they genocided so many people or that the living were able to isolate themselves from the zombies as they starved)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1ToVLZJJoQ&list=RDz1ToVLZJJoQ&start_radio=1
also the second movie was pretty soulless apart from the intro

>>63923159
Yeah that was annoying too. But desu the actual biggest issue is that the plot did not require them at all. They served no purpose in the story. The one survivor guy did rescue the kid and mom but he did it in a way that would have definitely killed them IRL.

I actually would like to see a movie about a military expedition into the quarantined zone though. Maybe they can make a 28 Months Later flick about NATO trying to recover British nuclear warheads or something like that. That's the only reason I can think of to send people into the maelstrom that would actually be worth it.

>>63923543
British nuclear warhead recovery sounds interesting plot! Add few cults, overseas criminal element arriving in a narcosub to steal them too and overzealous garrison guards that wont let the warheads go and that is interesting premise.

>>63923543
Problem with British nukes is that they are basically all sub based in 2001 and chances are without plot twisting it is very likely US got them all or they sailed to other NATO countries.
That said yeah it does make for a really interesting plot and something they should have done. I'd argue that would have been a better idea for 28 weeks later.

>>63911794
I walk among zombies was arguably better for this reason alone.

>>63924471
I'd really like to see a movie about it set while everything was still falling apart.
>>63924528
Don't they have the ability to air drop them from Tornados?

>>63911727
Where is your rebuttal?

>>63911847
You need to train a significant portion of your life to use a longbow

>>63925071
>I'd really like to see a movie about it set while everything was still falling apart.
28 hours later? Would seem like a great prequel.
>Don't they have the ability to air drop them from Tornados?
They did but I don't think they had any by 2001? Could be wrong though.
>>63920093
Either fucked off to other NATO countries or Commonwealth i.e. Canada or Australia.
>>63923510
The also retarded thing is they aren't accounting for the vast amount of islands surrounding the UK that are not connected by landbridges and they literally have to drift past these islands in order to land where they did. The naval patrols are frankly overly retarded as you'd think it would be better to construct outposts on said islands. There really could and should have been a much stronger NATO presence than shown.

>>63926961
I get the style is sort of the point, but if I could actually see what was going on I'd absolutely love to watch 28 Hours Later, I read a fanfic a while ago that's written like WWZ and it went in some fucked up directions (Throwing babies out windows, crowd-crushes killing more people than the zombies do, etc) and thinking of which I believe WWZ deserves a more faithful adaptation

>>63911716 (OP)
Because animating and rendering or even better, making the props and make up for the effect of zombies being gored and destroyed by Warhammer, pikes, etc is too tedious and expensive. Adding cgi arrow or props to a zombie actors on the other hand, is cheap

>>63918551
Alpha infected didn't exist in 28 Days Later (first movie).

I remember the movie fairly well, despite making out with the BBW I took to go see it.

>>63918711
>running zombies

I think nearly everyone with a zombie & gun fetish has played Left 4 Dead 1 or 2 at least once. Probably been 21 foot ruled countless times in those games.

>>63916661
Why couldn't the outside world supply drop stuff to them as well. In 28 weeks the infected had burnt itself out enough to start rebuilding and it only appeared that a single woman was asymptomatic and kick started the infection again via retardation. If they can remove the infection from Europe and declare it safe, how is the UK still full of infected.
And how the fuck do infected give birth to non infected children and raise them

>>63920093
It spread so quickly that organising the military to be effective enough to stop it would be next to impossible. 28 weeks show how quickly things go to shit and they knew what they were dealing with.

>>63927074
Everything that happened after the Swede showed up really should have been erased from the film.

>>63927074
>And how the fuck do infected give birth to non infected children and raise them
Implied reared by 'alphas' who are shown more developed and intelligent. It also appeared the zombies were washing themselves when they were splashing in the river, unless I missed something obvious.
I think they are going with the zombies becoming evolved or advancing.
The overall introduction of the dark haired hairy alphas is lending itself to the prehistory Britain currents in the movie, it also meshes with the folk nationalism the movie seems to appeal to

>>63927034
Well that was the old canon. The new canon has the videogame classes of zombies and they're able to survive naked in Britain all year round, without food stores. They're able to outfight squads of soldiers with machine guns.

>>63927133
I dreamt up a better plot in which the soldier has scenes where he's the last survivor of the fight. He's taking stock of the situation, emptying all the weapon optics of their batteries, packing as much ammo into his vest as he can, etc. He'd have a sat phone and be in contact with some unseen command ship. They'd have difficult conversations where they explain that they aren't coming for him, but they still give him info on where to go and not go. Maybe they task him to look into stuff for them, and provide drone overwatch or supply drops.

When he sees the zombie baby being born, he's like "this is my ticket out of here", and tries to get command to exfil him and the baby to study it.

>>63918401
THANK YOU
>>63918419
It was not shit I was too harsh but 28 weeks was no where near as good as 28 days. As per anon who you'd this seems to be a pile of toss though, I will not risk the dangers of ferrals in the darkness of teh cinema to see it there, a lot of people saying its millenial artsy bollocks

Imagine 28 days later but set in Australia and its just the local wildlife kicking the shit out the infected?

>>63927268
I like the idea of one guy doing zombie E&E while drones and naval gunfire try to keep him alive. Like that Land of Bad movie but not stupid and gay and retarded. Maybe they can only help him if he gets off the island, but they are forbidden from manned overflight or something like that.

>>63927290
>millenial
Both the screenwriter and director are 50+. It's three coming of age stories in a planned trilogy written by someone raised by a single parent and directed by a "spiritual atheist" with all the baggage both of those backgrounds entail. It forgets and barely mentions the other movies. All things considered there is no reason it needed to be a "28 [X] later" movie beyond name recognition and modern producer's seemingly being allergic to new IP's.

OK I looked into it and apparently yes, the British air dropped nukes were gone in 2002 HOWEVER the USAF had over 100 B61 gravity nukes at Lakenheath in 2002. Lakenheath is very close to Cambridge, which is ground zero for the outbreak. The infected would be at Lakenheath in under eight hours and I could totally buy a missing nuke plot based on that.

>>63928903
>/k/ able to come up with a better film plot than modern movie makers with a few minutes of research
Fuck that would be an interesting plot though problem is 28 weeks later, don't see the US not leaving any of those behind before trying to recolonise the UK. In a 28 years later scenario it would have to be some nuke they lost that is on the UK or some mercs going trying to go for one huge payday.

>>63928903
Would be pretty cool, could justify them not just curb stomping infected with arty, air power, or armor since the area isn't confirmed to be uninfected free too

>>63929312
Thanks. I did some rough calcs. Assuming the infection spreads at 5 km/hr (average walking speed) you'd be looking at Lakenheath breached in eight hours and I think it would be literally impossible to get the nukes out in that context. North London would be swarmed in 12 hours, North Scotland in a week. Hack screenwriters aside Britain getting overrun doesn't feel far fetched.

As far as 28 Weeks Later goes, regardless of the (kinda dumb) recolonization plot it is highly probable that several warheads would be straight up lost. We still haven't found all of the ones we lost during the cold war; weapons grade U is barely above background radiation so if something falls off a plane you may not find it for years.

>>63927210
>They're able to outfight squads of soldiers with machine guns.
the scenes with firearms were done in a kinda hurried manner, but what the movie attempted to depict was a light picket force consisting inexperienced kids who weren't supposed to be there breaking and panicking, I think that in itself would've had content for entire movie in itself

>>63917155
holy shit what a garbage fucking movie

>>63929547
A week is a fucking long time anon.

>>63916661
guns are banned in UK. they got no loicense to make them, that would be illegal!

>>63930137
it aint the kinos fault you have shit taste

>>63918228
so was that alpha a pre-outbreak infected or was it a newborn after the rage swept the land

>>63919077
feudal knights did not have to fear the peasants blood but bath in it to celebrate victory

>>63930137
>holy shit what a garbage fucking movie
[spoiler] thats the very last scene before the end credits and the main purpose of the scene was mostly to show that our 12 year old main character found a friendly group of people, whose leader was present in the first scene of the film as a child [/spoiler]

>>63926961
nato cant even contain and suppress a mild zegroid outbreak in real life. containing britain beyond two under gunned and manned cruisers "patrolling" the entire perimeter of UK and ireland is already stretching it.

if anything pirates and scavengers entering the islands to loot for valuables should be a big theme in these x years later depictions

>>63919077
>>63930208
>feudal knights did not have to fear the peasants blood
being blinded (and infected) by arterial blood spray in cold weapons combat is a real threat

>>63929547
nooks are overrated as fuck maintenance queens. the ones lost in an outbreak would go bad in a handful of years as chances are realistically the "lost" ones are just derelicts in some wrecks the rageoids attacked and then left behind

>>63930250
not as serious as a single drop of blood turning the gentleman knight also into a unwashed stinky peasant (with a gigantic slong)

>>63916661
>why didnt they make guns
so the plot could happen, my first thought was image related would perform wonderfully in this environment

>>63930145
Not if you are talking about deleting an entire country, but my point was more about the airbase right next to Cambridge.

>>63911793
I would assume the protagonists didn't watch the first movie, so they didn't have complete information

>>63911716 (OP)
Why no leather, wammo paintball armor, work gloves, and motorcycle helmets so you can't get bit? Zombie shit is retarded that's why, the only good thing was that biker chick dancing nekked.

>>63918538
They're asking why nobody else takes any real measure to protect themselves but one-off characters. This is true of any zombie movie.

Do you think in this timeline the rest of Europe are letting immigrants cross the channel over to UK as one big refugee site? :^)

>>63911716 (OP)
Bows are easy and safe to film. With clubs and other weapons, you might need to put the two actors in the same frame, which means they're close enough for accidents to happen.

>>63932434
Are you daft or something? Rubber bats and knives are used for close in work. It's very safe, especially if using stunt actors who signed away their right to not be injured on set.

>>63932372
no, real quarantines are enforced at gunpoint

>>63931250
Because these aren't slow clumsy Bois, they're angry adrenaline fuels humans that retain more motor skills and reasoning. A face shield, and gauntlets are best here as the blood is crazy virulent

What would be the best melee weapon agaist a infected? Warhammers and maces are limited indoors, knifes have too little reach. Swords perhaps, but they create splatter

>>63933801
You wouldn't be fighting the infected in melee without protection unless something has gone very wrong. So if you do have protection, blood splatter isn't an issue. Anything will do if you're efficient with it. Unless you're fighting an Alpha, in which case your head will be pulled off regardless.

>>63933801
Imo a spike with a satellite dish at the end to prevent splatter. I guess if you make it into a fork and add a handle guard you could use it to make them trip and fall to the ground. If you're outnumbered good luck.

>>63933801
Halberd?

>>63937081
Too long and not easy to haul around. Sword-bayonet?

>>63937125
Bro just carry a falchion plus goggles and cut heads off as they come. You can still use them indoors. Honestly you should be knocking on the door beforehand to bring anyone inside to you.

>>63911739
Please kill yourself

>>63911716 (OP)
You understand longbows, huh? Because they un-invented compound bows or what?
You can make those with simple hand tools as well.

>>63918538
>Did none of you mouth breathing retards actually watch the first fucking movie?

The majority of /k/ wasn't alive when that came out.

>>63916244
and the first introduction of the zombie plague is an over the top fifty stabs to a single body followed by the cunt screaming if he got any blood on him. the bitch was covered in blood.

>>63911791
don with a fucking crowbar killed like 4 of them all by himself in a panicked situation, and he was an untrained middle aged man. you are just a retarded fat pussy.

>>63938209
He was super lucky not to get any spatter in his eyes, to be frank. The zombies are barf monsters, too. If any of them grappled him, they would have barfed into his eyes and it would be game over.

>>63917705
What about getting blood in your mouth nose and ears?

>>63938719
Ears and nose are unlikely, but just normal c*rona mask would help with mouth
