Fuck

Everyone is talking about how insane this movie is, but nobody is talking about the most insane part: Giving a child morphine so he doesn't interfere with his mother's euthanasia. Garland is absolutely out of his fucking mind.

OP is a mongoloid. Easily one of the most disappointing movies I’ve seen

Contrarian faggot

It's a weird movie. I think a good way to check whether someone will like it is to see how they react when told that a movie is "weird". If they see that as praise and become more interested in watching it, then they'll probably like 28YL. If they see it as a criticism and look concerned then they probably won't like it.
A more honest trailer might have been a good idea although personally I like being misled by trailers.

>>211733512 (OP)
>Men 2: Men are still bad also zombies
thank you mr. garland

>>211733512 (OP)
They made a movie about Tamerlane?

>>211734811
I mean the trailer was pretty stylish, it wasn't exactly giving off "this is a regular ass zombie movie" to me
I'm not surprised by this. I also haven't seen it yet and what I'm hearing slightly raises my guard but also isn't dissuading me.

>People still call the Infected "zombies"

Why does Timur never get the recognition he deserves? He loved his skull pyramids and scalps.

>I mean the trailer was pretty stylish, it wasn't exactly giving off "this is a regular ass zombie movie" to me
That's exactly what vibe the trailer gave off. The trailer just depicts an intense creepy zombie film. The first 40 minutes are exactly that, but then it turns into a gay upbeat family drama.

Giving people sedatives so they calm down for other peoples medical procedures was actually fairly common with women and children up through the 60s. I was watching some older Peter Cushing film a bit ago with monsters attacking and they drug the female lead to "calm her down" comically often. Just constantly drugging this bitch to knock her out and then carry her to the next scene.

the swedish guy was the best part and he didnt deserve that

Are we meant to believe that morphine is still in such supply that he can prepare darts with different doses? If not, he just injected a child with enough morphine to immediately sedate a raging, 7 foot tall, roid gutted mega zombie

Thank you very much and indeed the quality is dogshit, but I watched worse! Godspeed, anon.

that scene and the first intro scene feels like it was directed and edited by someone completely different to the rest of the film, maybe who ever is doing the next one

>>211739519
you're meant to, it's a funny scene.

>>211739858
that's not true at all, Danny Boyle's editing has always been a spazzy un-storyboarded jumpcut fest.

The editing was just bizarre, decent action though.

>>211739954
they did feel different to the rest of the film though

>>211740137
because of the tone not the direction.

>>211740722
Holy shit is anon not being a fag for once?

This must be the first film in over a decade that feels like it's celebrating British culture rather than actively trying to destroy it.
The complete lack of browns shows how much creative control Boyle had. Honestly miraculous that they didn't try to falsely paint 2002+28 Britain as overtly multicultural. This post-apocalypse might actually be better for indigenous Brits than the modern demographic apocalypse they are currently in.

any non faggot who hates everything can tell me if this is a good watch or not? I love Boyle but that uploaded webm threw me off a little

>>211740745
It's a really bad copy. Small too. There's a 4GB on Naname, a wee bit better.

>>211741037
Its good

>>211741090
No.

>>211733632
the ending wasn't so much goofy as completely tonally inconsistent
the second act was also weird
it didn't feel like a movie so much as an anthology with 3 short stories
story 1: living in a small community after the zombie apocalypse as a young boy coming into manhood
story 2: boy and mother seek medical attention join forces with stranded foreign soldier and zombie newborn who isn't a zombie
story 3: lone survivor in the wilderness meets a zany circus troupe who have whiled away the apocalypse killing zombies for fun

>>211741180
FILM IS A VISUAL MEDIUM PLOTKEK

>>211739810
Smooth-brained take.

>>211741180
it wasn't 3 stories it was one story about Spike.
you also completely forgot about the prologue even though it set up the ending with the reappearance of the crucifix. you're not as smart as you think you are.

>>211741180
>Story 1
Absolute kino of the highest order, intense, stressful and beautifully shot the whole way through
>Story 2
Great individual scenes, but maybe should have played out a little differently
>Story 3
Feels like a completely different movie, like British zombieland meets borderlands, but it's literally 3 minutes out of 2 hours.

John Carpenter really should have made this movie

shockingly bad
just the most bizarre anti white/ anti English propaganda
The white survivors are presented as some weird cult
there’s literally one black person in the entire film who is referred to as the ‘alpha’ And he is a zombie with a massive bbc which the camera always made sure to capture
apart from that the acting was bad and some of the worst ‘northern’ accents I’ve ever heard portrayed

I loved it. It's the most Danny Boyle shit ever. I could hear "Lust for Life" in my head when it happened. They're killing zombies and doing heroin about it.

After seeing that zombie dong, "bone temple" takes on a different meaning, if you catch my drift.

>The complete lack of browns shows how much creative control Boyle had
Boyle is a full-on, unironic worshipper of the globohomo establishment and will only be doing whatever he is told to do, 28 days later is literally about the justified extinction of Britain and replacement by noble niggers. This is nothing more than 'anti-woke' window dressing to make the remaining whites fall for the next psyop, you imbecile

*ruins everything*

>>211740747
>The complete lack of browns shows how much creative control Boyle had.

actually its because the movie (even though its technically a sci-fi) is showing a Britain which has gone back to an earlier time period.

>>211734324
Morphine use is normalized again. Guess where it leads to

>>211734957

This was really bad. I seriously cannot believe it’s averaging 7/10+ ratings

>>211740747

Honestly it's an asinine hot take because the back-to-back sequel is being directed by one of the most obnoxious black women in the world; the one that made The Acolyte; and aside from that Boyle has never been quiet about how distasteful he finds whites and how he thinks India has the most beautiful cultures in the world

Coming of age movie about a boy going to kill zombies alpha huge dicked zombies, slow zombies, fat zombies. Barely made it back alive, sees daddy cheating on sick insane mother, set fire to the camp and drag your sick mother into the zombie hell because you heard of a crazy doctor that may know what her illness is. What the fuck.

>>211741496
I still love 28 Days Later but it's only half of a good movie. Once the survivors meet the soldiers, it goes from absolute kino of the highest order to ok this is dumb. Even the producers confirmed how they got up to that part and didn't know where to go next. Weeks Later is pretty basic and barebones. Nothing special. Too much focus on the fucking military and not enough on the survivors. Years Later was going great until they met the doctor and it's just like "there's really no point to any of this." Also I absolutely hate how many cuts Boyle has in his movie. Fucking thousands of them. Also it's like a found footage movie without the found footage. Super shaky cam too. Super zoomed in. Just stop. I wanna SEE the movie. I wanna SEE the scene. I want a continuous take like 1917. Doesn't have to be one super long take the entire time but STOP CUTTING EVERY SECOND. Stop fucking zooming in. I don't wanna see acne zits. This is why I always go back to World War Z as my guilty pleasure movie. Yea it doesn't have a story, yeah that cure was retarded but goddamn if it isn't raw zombie survival for 2 fucking hours without any
>humans are the real monsters
bullshit we have in EVERY SINGLE ZOMBIE MOVIE.

>>211739316
Wait so... OP is just a huge fag and lying to all of us and trying to shill a shitty movie?? AGAIN??

>>211739316
What the fuck were they thinking

>>211737374
They should have done 28 months later and focused on the infection hitting Europe and Asia. I'm getting tired of the bri'ish countryside. Give us some variety. Story should have been super basic like just surviving and watching the infection spread - the best part of any infection movie then the end they should have gone back to the bri'ish isles to look for potential carriers to lead into this movie. They need to advance the story a little bit. I'm not asking for anything super complicated just make it have a point.

>>211739316
Wow.

Why don't the rage monsters wear clothes.

The intro should have shown Cambridge, where the outbreak initially happened. If it occurs in Scotland, the family would have had weeks to prepare. Show the family getting ripped apart, one by one. Do a similar opening to 28 Weeks Later, but with kids instead.

Act One can stay the same.

Act Two I'm fine with, but instead of 8 Swedes, make it 3 (or 4 but one's critically injured). Have their landing shown. They slaughter ample infected and show no signs of trouble. They meet the mother and Spike and escort them... but then the Alpha rips them to pieces The baby is a terrible idea - do away with it.

Doctor can't save the mother. Keep it as is. Mother dies. Pajeet Alpha killed by Spike. Spike feels there's nothing more for him back home, so he goes further inland.

Have zero infected fatties. Avoid having Samson tranquilized.

The trailer was a masterpiece and I feel like I just watched the wrong movie. Why the fuck was this a movie about a kid? I'm actually angry. Now there's Alpha large cock zombies flopping their dicks at kids. Unreal. 28 Weeks was better. And no John Murphy theme? Fucks sake.

>>211752862

>basically the same movie but with more child murder and swedes

have you considered writing fanfiction? you're exactly what that community is looking for.

>>211741180
Completely agreed. I liked it and I'm fine with it, but it almost felt like 3 seasons of a show condensed into one movie.
>>211741496
Again, I completely agree.

>>211752926
I like most of this but disagree with the fatty. I want some kind of pathogen evolution as the series progresses. Have the infected get more dangerous, more scary, show more mutations. Up the ante. It's the only thing Last of Us Part 2 did right - they kept dialing up the monsters as time went on. This is what makes zombie movies good - that there's no place really safe and as you adopt to fight off the infection, so do they. I loved the idea of the alpha - just has a stupid name. Definitely remove the pregnant zombie.

>>211753029
>28 Weeks was better
It goes without saying. I think anyone with half a brain cell will agree.

>>211742457
Honestly, the only one I could think of was Samson.

>>211752686
what do think those three were doing during the apocalypse?

>>211745438
Oh fuck. You're right that's going to be the next film's B plot

>>211753029
>Now there's Alpha large cock zombies flopping their dicks at kids.
I mean it kinda makes sense. 28 years and their clothes would have disintegrated. But yeah having the child in there makes it look like pedo acceptance. They should have made him older like 17 or at least 18. A 12 year old isn't surviving on his own out there realistically speaking.

>>211741180
>the ending wasn't so much goofy as completely tonally inconsistent
It was extremely goofy. The movie was already tonally inconsistent after the father leaves the movie with the sweede and the alpha shit and the cancer ridden mother. The second part feels written by another person and the ending feels like a parody. No hyperbole

horror movies definitely attract a lot of midwits. I guess that's why its one of the remaining commercially reliable genres.

>>211753164

In that case I'd have the boy's first kill be a wounded / lame / crippled infected. Should be thousands of them about. The fatty could be like L4D in that they're evolved to explode to spread the infection, or to projective vomit blood at obscene distances like 15+ feet

>>211753279

Torn on this. The giving birth / holding hands had a strong feminist vibe. And with the director of The Marvels doing the sequel, it'll either be strong black, or feminist, or both messaging. The baby was specifically a girl, so I'm curious if that'll be the vector for villainy.

>>211753466
The fact the sweede was potrayed as bad for killing the zombie bitch tells you all you need to know

>>211753318
Why did there need to be zombie types at all? The fat ones weren't scary and the dick one was goofy. Felt like a video game with different enemy types. Hell part of the plot of the original was them starving to death. Now we can't body shame the fuckin zombies!

>>211753680
the first movie showed SOME of the zombies starving to death, and the second movie isn't canon.

>>211753466
>>211753279
>>211745438
It's shaping up to be another The Last of Us. But in all seriousness, the Rage virus isn't zombies or anything close to zombies. It's just super rabies that doesn't kill the host. Anyone infected is still a human underneath - they still need food and water to survive. They can still get pregnant. The pregnant scene is dumb but I understand the line of thinking behind it.
I feel like any zombie movie or series that goes on longer and longer inevitably gets dumb and less interesting no matter what it is. All the interest is surviving the infection and you can only milk that for so long.

>>211753466
>I'd have the boy's first kill be a wounded / lame / crippled infected.
so, you're saying you haven't seen the movie?

>>211739316
This was kino idc

>>211753680
>Why did there need to be zombie types at all?
Because it's interesting and keeps things fresh and scary and suspenseful. After the 50th infection kill, the 51st zombie isn't going to pose a threat and if they do, you will all just roast the movie for having retarded characters to move the story along.
>Hell part of the plot of the original was them starving to death.
Boyle fucked up by having that. Then you can just wait out the infection. Kinda anticlimatic to camp to victory. You need suspense anon. You need to get them to go out into the danger or bring the danger to them.

>>211753795

he kills a fat fuck. I'd move the obesity to something else, and just have it as a thin, weak infected with a broken leg, or even blinded.

>>211733512 (OP)

Are you? The mother hold the boy with his back to the doctor and nods at him to consent to the boy's sedation? He then shoots his mother with a dart 30 seconds later as she walks to the edges of the camp to be euthanized.

Is it true there’s special infected now like in left 4 dead?

>>211753918
Well if floppy dicks and fat fucks build suspense for you, enjoy.

>>211754246

Just the Alpha. Grows 10 feet tall, runs like an olympic sprinter, can survive about a dozen arrows, and basic infected sort of follow his command

>>211754297
Retard, why do you want them to remake the first movie 2 times? Doesn't that get stale after a while? They gotta do something new, something different. It's what keeps the original movie unique and the sequels interesting. And no I don't care about the dicks but having a special zombie that's more of a threat than regular hordes is interesting.

>>211754139
Goddammit, I KNEW there was gonna be something like that and yet you cannot see it on the fucking cam recorded copy as everything's pitch black.

>>211752862
Since we did see one of the fat infected was a kid I assume that when the infected are born they get infected by their parents before they learn about clothes like apes. For the already infected maybe their clothes rotted off or got torn off.

>>211754429
Faggot, When I saw the fuckin trailer I expected cults and tribal shit. The red thermal shots of the zombies in the film were kino and scary. The geopolitics of some countries being normal and some infected could have been interesting. Different societies coping in different ways. INSTEAD WE GOT A 12 YEAR OLD BOY AND HIS MOMMY PERFORMING THE SAME SCENE OVER AND OVER! Go fuck yourself.

>>211754331
I think he was just a gigantic samoan guy who happened to be in the UK, thats my theory

>>211754331
There’s the fat crawlers too.

>>211754666
What about the first, white alpha they encountered that chased them back to the village before needing to get ballista'd to be taken down?

>>211754615
>I expected cults and tribal shit.
Well you did get the Savile Rangers at the end kek
>INSTEAD WE GOT A 12 YEAR OLD BOY AND HIS MOMMY PERFORMING THE SAME SCENE OVER AND OVER!
I never said the movie was good. I just said they should try new things when they do sequels. Nothing like what we got. I too wanted the infection to hit Europe.
Calm down.

>>211754493
They should have never even tried the whole baby thing. It isn't interesting and serves no purpose other than to try and give the infected some sort of development since so much time has passed, which isn't necessary.
The only other things they do to further develop this idea is show them form packs around alphas and "bathe" in a stream.

Jimmy Saville.ending was weird though.and in bad taste.

>>211754761
Also the "fast ones" now can hide in trees and ambush kill in concert with the fatties. And the fast ones are also controlled by Alphas literally like a wolf pack.

>>211754666
>thats my theory
That's your cope for the shitty writing introducing the "le evolved strong zombie" meme with complete seriousness

>>211754761
I interpreted the fat crawlers as just being a consequence of obesity during their uninfected life. With an inability to catch faster woodland creatures like we see the zombie packs doing they resort to foraging worms on the hands and knees

>>211754615
>THE SAME SCENE OVER AND OVER!
what scene?

>>211754775
I chuckled to myself at that guys T-1000 running kek. But, same idea could hold water it was just a chad who slays infected pussy

>>211754951
They’re obviously a mutation since there’s several of them. I just don’t understand how the virus affects them differently than the regular infected.

>>211754801
Then what the fuck are you doing? Stop trying to convince me this film did it right. Yeah new stuff in sequels okay whatever, this one fucked it up. This film is not a good example of what to do.

>>211754801
>I too wanted the infection to hit Europe.
so, you also wanted them to repeat 28 weeks and days? even though you said you didn't?

>>211754848
I liked it. It was very Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrells. The entire editing of the movie had Boyle's fingerprints MUCH clearly over them in this one. I felt like I was watching the editing of Snatch or LSATSB at times. It was an odd but ultimately worthwhile film. Didn't love it, but I liked it well enough.
There were themes of reversion to earlier forms of human society and how that connects us to our animalistic origins that I thought was interesting. The interspersing of technicolor British movie footage of feudal archers alongside scenes of the village having to defend itself. Or the babbling brook scene with the infected trying to catch fish/fuck with rocks while a pregnant one waddle-screams by. Interesting, although they rap you over the head a bit with it.
I could see how someone from /pol/ might be able to interpret this movie as a psyop for uncivilized culture in the form of immigration, also. Not saying this was necessarily tyhe intent..but wiuth Alex Garland idk anymore.

>>211755024
why are you assuming there's only one strain of virus? there clearly isn't.

>>211734554
stfu you use vlc cause it uses a logo which is also the dildo you sit on fag

>>211755006
I just mean the whole film was ,Oh mommy stop being sick, eat bacon, oh mommy, dads cheating, oh mommy lets go to the doctor, oh mommy there's cgi fumes at the gas station dont be sick, oh mommy heres the doctor, oh mommy you have cancer dont be sick, oh mommy you knew the whole time.

I just give zero shits about this brat and his mom and it was the whole movie.

>>211755136
>responding to a post from 9 hours ago

lol

Armed Soldiers coudn't handle 10 zombies before the alpha arrived.

>>211755114
We get it, you like The Teletubbies.

some forewarning. You need to see the other Aaron Taylor Johnson movies for this to make sense. Mainly Kraven, (and by proxy Madam Web and Morbius), and Albert Nobbs. Hope that helps.

>>211733512 (OP)
What I’ve heard
>boring
>tonal mess
>plot nonexistent
>ending ridiculous
No thanks, skipping this one. Really getting tired of these mediocre flicks driven by the director’s ego. Glad to see they’re paying people to promote the movie here though

>>211755163
yeah that's a you thing anon.
since TLOU I've realized that a large section of /tv/ can't relate to anything without there being a male protagonist over 20 but it's not a question of cinematic quality. the fact that Spike is obviously the main character from the beginning yet people insist the second half is a different movie for no specific reason is just another example.
the equivalent criticism of TLOU part 1 would be "oh ellie look out for the infected oh haha you told a dad joke oh we're eating out of cans".

Someone post the webm of the Jimmy Saville power ranger rape gang at the end. I have not seen a tonal shift like that in at least a decade. They do 10 foot frontflips over zombies! Not many movies I can say are ruined by their ending but that end is all anyone can think about.

>>211734601
kek
you don't do that, retard
there's a high risk on schizophrenia doing that, retard
>>211734324
I think the insane part was choosing to die in that moment. Movie was not exactly great. With all the shit we get every month, this one was decent. Not exactly great. I only got more questions and having passed years instead of weeks, it didn't follow closely any of the previous two films.

I don't care what you all think. Second one was the best of them

>>211755013
>>211754951
It is kind of funny that some people are interpreting the different infected types as normal human subpopulations.
I found the alpha scenes both gripping, as in my heart was literally racing, and kind of hilarious at the same time.
>they will almost 100% of the time go for the same mortal kombat fatality like literal videogame enemies
>the giga-running
>the frequent huge-cock&balls onscreen running

>>211755278
I wouldn’t say the second half is a completely different movie, but that last third/fourth definitely is.

Also, how the fuck did no one notice the kid drop the baby off at the front door? They have a lookout at all times.

>>211755272
I paid my 15 bucks and enjoyed it this afternoon anon, worth seeing in the theatre is my takeaway. If it was bad I would happily dogpile it on here, but it wasnt

>>211755163
>I just give zero shits about this brat and his mom and it was the whole movie.
I lost my mother to cancer, it was traumatic and tragic, and the whole ordeal in the movie, even though it could've been written and directed much, much better, has touched me deeply.

>>211755319
>Second one was the best of them
has the dumbest plot out of all of them. just actual contrived garbage.
but there is a lot of zombies running around and that's what /tv/ thinks makes a movie interesting to watch lol. maybe they will make more Saw movies for you guys.

>>211755373
It was bad. You are a Jimmy Saville apologist and should go to hell with him.

>>211755116
Could affect different physiology differently lol

>>211741002
It’s trash, as a fan of the first two this one was just a disappointment. The ending was a final kick in the nuts (i didn’t get a refund)

>>211755376
Did you enjoy the power ranger parkour gang moments after her death?

>>211755116
I just don’t understand how the fat crawlers are mutated. So there’s a mutation that makes you obese?

Yeah don’t spend a dime on this flick, these posts >>211755373 should be a huge red flag.

>>211755278
That is NOT how it was marketed moron, there is a difference between subverting your expectations to straight up catfishing your audience. Second half is not bad because of Spikey is bad because the movie keeps introducing fucking characters and is inconsistent with the tone

>>211755328
they let danny boyle cook with the editing and the floppy cock stuff. I liked the almost humourous angle at times. can't just be 100% dark and depressing all the way through

>>211754951
Nah, it's a different infected variant. There was a little walrus zombie kid in the movie, as well, whose life they spare. Ridiculous scene, anyway.

>>211754246
there are three variants shown in the movie
>crawlers
who survive from eating small animals and bugs, they're slow disgusting blobs.
>fast zombies
They're all skinny and frail looking.
>alphas
Tough motherfuckers who love to rip spines, tank a lot of damage, command fast zombies and one of them at least was shown 'controlling' a murder of crows. Also they have huge cocks.

>>211755343
the last scene is a setup for the next movie. people are reacting like the scene fingered their sister, or like it insulted their personal version of Islam.
they don't have lights on at the gate at all times (they were turned on during the chase only after the alarm was raised), he obviously just did it at night.

>>211755308
Someone please post it.

England
Scotland
Northern Ireland
Wales

Long ago, the four kingdoms lived in harmony. That all changed when the Infected attacked. Only Jimmy Saville, master of molesting all four nations could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he died.

28 Years Later passed, and my baby and I discovered the new Saville, a gender-bender named Jimmy, and although his molesting skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to diddle anyone.

But I believe.... Jimmy can save cinema.

I liked this more than 28 weeks, which just seemed like a dumber and more generic follow-up. This had the balls to be weird, both in Boyles editing, certain themes, and in tonal incongruity (not just talking about the intentionally comedic ending. Additionally, once the pair got to the bone temple it was BOTH morbid and sort of touching?)

NINJA CHAVS

>>211755439
Well, of course not. It was ridiculous.

>>211755454
The Night Of The Living Dead had the dead being raised as zombies by cosmic rays, anon.

>>211755525
What kind of setup involves the most insane tonal shift of the whole franchise? NO ONE in these films has been shown capable of doing DOUBLE REVERSE FRONT FLIPS over infected with no effort at all. It makes no sense at all. And it’s a random gang of Jimmy Saville impersonators. Do you even know who Jimmy Saville is? Whoop de fuckin doo, we get a whole sequel about a gang of faggots!
The whole film was brought down by that last scene. It is basically a Sam Raimi film. Don’t even try to argue, bitch.

>>211755525
>the last scene is a setup for the next movie
And that is supposed to be a good thing? They just made sure no one wants to see it

>>211755487
Maybe I wasn't being clear in my post. I actually liked those parts. But I like a lot of B-horror too and this was very much a send-up to some of the goofier shit I've seen in bad/good horror movies in the past. But normies and non horror genre fans might be a little thrown by it. My parents specifically hate tonal shifts or incongruity in movies. Cannot wrap their head around it and would hate shit like what Gunn did with Ellie Page in Super. This has it, like it or not. I did.

>>211755553
It’s like if Howard Stern raped hundreds of little boys and then a gang dressed like him and named after him gained superpowers like Ninja Captain America to fight zombies that are twice as strong as them.
You are retarded.

alright, I changed my mind. what the hell is this

>>211755525
>the last scene is a setup for the next movie
You say that as if that justifies such an out of character ending. It's not a decision a director who respects the film they're directing would make, which I'm sure he doesn't because the next one's getting directed by some African woman who directed The Marvels

>>211755812
Did you only watch the first 15 minutes? Dad gets dropped right after he eats muff.

>>211755683
Actually I was just going to post about this. Notice the zoom-shot in on the main-Jimmy's upsidedown crucifix? The same one that the insane priest gave his son at the beginning of the movie during the outbreak before sending him off on his own?
And the kills with this troupe on the infected were very "disrespectful" in contrast to some of the other treatment of infected by the boy and father/mother (sometimes letting them go out of pity or a vague sense of empathy). They will inistially try to win the boy over and pull him to their more morally corrupted way of life (from the boy's experience of being left alone at the start of 28 Years) but will ultimately reject it and they will be one of or THE major antagonists of the second movie. Screencap this.

>>211755633

>>211755683
anon they used actual actors to do those flips. people can be acrobatic in real life, zombies are made up. know the difference.

you clearly don't know what the movie is doing with the Saville stuff, you'd clearly forgotten the opening of the film by the end. but trust me it wasn't a tonal shift but an exploration of themes that had already been touched on throughout.

>>211755748

the movies are both solely credited to Alex Garland. the ending is thematically relevant to earlier parts of the movie and doesn't actually come out of nowhere at all.

now apologize to me for being outsmarted by the film.

>>211755997
I fully expected the zombie to give birth and then immediately eat the baby.

>>211755939
you deserve to be lied to. it won't be the last time.
what'll normally happen though, is that movies will tell you lies you want to hear and you'll react positively, like a clapping seal.

>>211755981
I know, the insane priest gave it to the boy to keep but ultimately was convinced they were experiencing rapture and gladly accepted being bitten/turned. He abandoned the boy. The boy is morally/emotionally scarred by this. But he still "keeps the crucifix with you (him) also" like his father asked of him in his final words to him before getting bitten. The cross is now turned upside down at the end of the movie, the symbol of satanism, clearly reflecting this corruption in belief. I swear to god, cap this. The next movie 100% will deal with this moral push/pull that they set-up in the first with the treatment/empathy toward infected.

>>211756141
Oh i dont care. I didn't spend money on it

>>211756086
We all.
It makes some sense that the existence of alphas or chubby crawlers is unlikely in the state of society depicted in the film.

>>211755525
There's valid reasons to dislike the last scene. Not only is it out of place, feeling like something more out of a Dying Light film adaptation, but it being tacked on as the last thing you see before credits just dampers the mood. Reminds you that you aren't watching a standalone film, but they're trying to sell you on a franchise at this point.

>>211755904
>Notice the zoom-shot in on the main-Jimmy's upsidedown crucifix? The same one that the insane priest gave his son at the beginning of the movie during the outbreak before sending him off on his own?
Because that's him. It's focken Jimmy, innit.
>>211755929
This is either bait or insane cope.

>>211756078
>the movies are both solely credited to Alex Garland
I'm tired of this cope. I don't care that it has the same writer. That isn't going to save an already borderline film from a shite sequel with a new shite director, a job which you pretend is of little consequence to the overall quality of a film.

>>211756143
Dude is obvious that Jimmy will be the villian. Biggest hint: he's pale blonde like all his psycho friends

>>211756028
St. Peter’s Cross isn’t bad, you retarded satanist.
Even if we ignore them being dressed up as The Worst Brit to Ever Exist, they’re still doing double flips and parkour that no one in the series has ever been shown to be able to do.
>people can stack bones therefore people can have ninja powers and do 10 foot tall flips over infected
That doesn’t even make sense, dumbass. Defend the rest of the movie, sure, but defending that cliffhanger is just you sucking dick. You belong on leddit.

>kid was boring as hell
Yeah, 3 different movies slammed into each other, it was all kinds of mediocre and disrespectful to the originals. But the worse thing is that it’s just boring, nothing happens that matters and we’re left with sequel bait. I’ve never seen a movie with as little substance as this.

>>211756245
No it's the "psycho" part that you're picking up on that is the biggest clue. Their kills that I referenced >>211755904 that we're more "for fun" than the pity/empathy extended to the pregnant and early-movie adolescent infected.

>>211733512 (OP)
>68% audience score on rottentomatoes
It's shit.

>>211756279
anon its literally Jimmy's dad's crucifix from the start of the film, upside down. that kid was the leader of the gang at the end.
actual actors did all the backflips. real humans. it's not a plot hole that it can happen in a movie.

>>211756360
Not even that anon but not until after the Jimmy photo you idiot kek, do you think you read bottom to top here like on twitter?

>>211741002
It's a good film around 45 minutes then it shits the bed. Not worth it

>>211756466
>actors are hired to play as monsters and aliens in movies therefore monsters and aliens are realistic
What even is your argument? That because they hired real actors that any of this makes sense?

>>211756408
it's literally a case where the ending is going over midwit's heads because they're used to standard horror sequels that just remake the original film.

>>211756544
actors are physically doing backflips. it's not an unrealistic magic power. why is it a problem for post-apocalyptic characters to be able to be acrobatic?

BTW you're welcome for the explanation of the crucifix. I get that you were sucking your own cock during that part but you didn't get the movie, it was probably continuous.

>>211756466
If they really did do all those flips over the infected without help then why does the camera cut away every single time? All we see is them flipping and being above the infected. You don’t see a single shot of one of them actually leaping from the ground over an infected actor without a cutaway. Go click the webm posted in this thread.

>>211756381
>28 years
>whining about the movie not explaining details of lore like this is a videogame wiki
No. It sucks because of this >>211756305

>>211756408
It felt to me like the ending was Spike writing the note/leaving the baby/setting out on his own. The jimmy savile power rangers just felt like a zany add-on to lighten the mood slightly, kind of like a post credits scene without actually being post credits.
I still think it was a bad idea, but it didn't feel catastrophic or movie-ruining to me.
>going to fall off so hard on the second week
I agree unfortunately. Part 2 is already shot but we might not get part 3.

>>211756626
someone’s pissed lol

>>211756647
at the start of the scene they were clearly shown standing on top of a wall that blocked Spike's path, clearly a barricade they'd built. the movie was edited with the assumption that the audience had object permanance.

>>211756551
>you don’t get it!! the ending was so bad and out of place that it was ART! media literacy!!

One of the cool things 28 days/weeks had going for it was the infected felt like genuine threats, but I don’t see how we’re meant to take them seriously now that Jimmy Saville Ninjas can basically take down entire an entire pack of them in a parkour montage just to flex in front of a kid.
Like even the Alpha feels neutered considering they used the morphine trick on him twice.

>>211756143
The idea of empathy towards the infected is still a hard sell. Before Years they were always depicted as feral beasts, even if you choose to use the depiction in Years there's still plenty of infected that would gladly pounce on any normal person if given a chance.
This would be a lot more digestible of an idea if they kept the idea of carriers from Weeks, people who are isolated from Holy Island and forced into exile.

>>211756698
The movie had a good ending with the kid voice over to his dad telling him how he can survive alone. The clowns after that ruined it

Is it true that it's an allegory for Britain to falling to Muslim invaders?

>>211756837
Here's the million dollar question though. Why should the audience care? Are you so simple that a kid obtains a cross at the beginning of a film and an adult holding the same cross in the future is enough for you to go OMG good writing. So brilliant. Nobody gives a fuck about the kid at the beginning because we saw him for 1 scene. Nobody cares that's him at the end. It's not interesting in the slightest. Did you genuinely say to yourself YEAH that was awesome can't wait to see more of that kid grown up?

can someone spoil the ending for me please!!!

>>211757193
I see Jimmy Saville, I go YEAH that was awesome!
>>211757225
It was already spoiled. It cuts to credits instantly once the ninja fight ends.

>>211757007
there are three savilles that jump down to fight the zombies with three big jumps, one each. the final blue one does a much smaller wall jump at 0:12 almost immediatley after their larger jump down. you all got triggered and are reacting with some kind of demented mass hysteria because literally the slighest deviation from horror formula sent your brains into overdrive.

>>211757118
I accept your concession. I am now your Jesus and accept your 10/10 review of this film, your favorite of all time.

>>211757330

>>211757391
>mad cuz bad

>>211757282
holy shit, this is even worse than the musician scene on sinners

>>211757193
>Why should the audience care?
the question is which audience.
if you knew you were going in to watch a trilogy, leaving some stuff unexplained isn't enough to warrent this level of screeching.

I could go into how the Sycamore Gap tree still being there indicated we're in an alternate reality, so Jimmy Saville wasn't outed as a pedo and the sequel is probably going to provide more commentary on how culture got frozen in time in 2002 and compare that to our own nostalgia-obsessed culture.

but hey, why should the audience care, right? why should the audience care about movies having ideas or doing anything different at all? it's just going to alienate Median Consumer Man isn't it?

>>211757425
you don't even care about whether you're right or not. it's all
>say wrong thing
>noooo stop telling me I'm wrong

>>211757193
>Here's the million dollar question though. Why should the audience care? Are you so simple that a kid obtains a cross at the beginning of a film and an adult holding the same cross in the future is enough for you to go OMG good writing. So brilliant.
Yeah, that's actually lazy and retarded writing. Hackneyed at the very least if we're being extremely generous. And the film's rife with these cheap tropes.

>>211757548
>we're in an alternate reality, so Jimmy Saville wasn't outed as a pedo and the sequel is probably going to provide more commentary on how culture got frozen in time in 2002 and compare that to our own nostalgia-obsessed culture.
It’s not an alternate reality. Jimmy was never outed in 2002 because the apocalypse happened. You don’t even know what you’re bitching about lol

>>211757633
>mad cuz bad

>>211757675
if Jimmy Saville wasn't outed, then being offended about characters dressing like him means you missed the point lol

>>211753778
>I feel like any zombie movie or series that goes on longer and longer inevitably gets dumb and less interesting no matter what it is.
Definity happened with the Zombieland sequel who took the time to introduce the evolved zombies at the start of the movie to show how powerful they are then dropped the ball by making them weak as hell since the plot needed it. Waiting 10 years to make the sequel didn't help either.

>>211757728
I’m not offended. I find it stupid. It’s dumb. It’s like if The Kings from New Vegas showed up at the very end and did triple flips over other characters and killed everyone.

As the most cultured and fair spokesperson of /tv/, and after considerable consideration to the views voiced by the most esteemed posters of this fine board, I declare the official /tv/ rating for 28 Years Later to be 6/10, with a forecast maximum of 4/10 for the following film.
I have spoken

>>211757548
You are so brain rotted by Marvel. To you, setting up a trilogy with breadcrumbs is being different and creative. Not making a self contained quality film.

>>211757798
my condolences. maybe they'll make a Smile 3 or a Saw 12 and you can watch that.

>>211757728
>completely missing the point that it’s a dogshit ending
you’re not convincing anyone, pal

>>211757798
Kek.
>>211757841
Or 28 Days Later 3. Oh, wait...

you write like someone whose been hurt before. I feel your pain anon. perhaps one day you can learn to trust movies again.

>>211757841
>mad cuz bad

>>211757728
Nobody is offended by it or thinks it's actually intended to be some homage to Seville. They're just mocking it for being a silly ending

>>211757824
it's a 7.5 dont get memed

>>211757841
>drops his argument again because he knows he’s wrong and can only insult
You’re really bad at this whole debating thing, y’know?

>>211757870
the thing about standard sequels is they just repeat the original movie. which seems to be what you wanted.

>>211757852
you're failing to convince me that my positive impressions of the film were mistaken.

>>211754819
For the stream thing I thought they were going for a infecting the water angle but it just seemed like they were enjoying the water. IIRC one was splashing his hands in the water so maybe that one was trying to fish, since at the end one of infected completely ignored MC and stole the fish he was cooking.

>>211757548
>I could go into how the Sycamore Gap tree still being there indicated we're in an alternate reality
This is actually interesting. I just checked and principal photography started on August of 2024, so the tree had already been felled, so it IS deliberate.

>>211757953

this is going to fall off so hard during the second week. it’s only been a day and the audience score is 69%.

>>211757909
there are actually people upthread talking like they WERE offended by it.

>>211757974
my arguments are ITT and have not been challenged. I don't need to repeat them.

>>211757548
You seem upset as though people are leaving their local independently-run kinoplex, not understanding what the small indie arthouse flick is about. This is just a long awaited sequel to a mainstream zombie series, people are undeniably walking away feeling mixed or even disappointed. Especially because it isn't really a standalone story, plenty of answers are still purposefully withheld and timegated because it wanted to stretch itself out as a trilogy.

>>211757897
You write like someone who literally cheers at the post credit Marvel scenes.

>>211758003
>which seems to be what you wanted.
I'm not the anon you're bickering with like a retard. I wanted nothing and I still found most of the film utterly lacking, rushed, and ridiculous.

>>211758003
I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I’m laughing at how hard you’re trying to convince others that that ending was good in any way shape or form. You’re embarrassing yourself and making the film sound even worse

>>211755904
There was also a background detail earlier in the film where the boy sees a building with something like "BEWARE JIMMY" or something like that painted on it.

>>211757953
The first half is a 7.5 out of ten

>>211758056
>mad cuz bad
great argument kek

>>211758056
I was offended by how bad it was. Most people should be.

>>211733512 (OP)
>tv says its shit
>watch it
>its actually kino

>>211758058
the first movie was shot for very little - it WAS a small arthouse indie flick and became a mainstream success on merit and also led to shit like TWD and TLOU. zombie films were all originally indie.

your attitude and that of many ITT strikes me as intellectually insecure, like any movie that does something unexpected is attacking you personally.

Did anyone else think this was trying way too hard to be artsy? The “boots, boots, boots” part had nothing to do with anything. There weren’t any military or marching analogies or metaphors at all other than walking across the land bridge. Did they just want that so they could put it in the trailer?

>>211758016
>For the stream thing I thought they were going for a infecting the water angle but it just seemed like they were enjoying the water
That could have been a good plot point but this film is littered with interesting tidbits like the mask in the village or the man left hanging in the abandoned house that go nowhere. Really seemed like the film couldn't wait to get to the ending for the sequel teaser, only to throw itself off a cliff in the last 5 minutes

>>211758291
>mad cuz bad

>>211758140
you can't even respond to any of my arguments. I set out to convince you of nothing.

>>211758291
Remind me, did the first movie have a power ranger rape gang doing acrobatics in it?

>>211758272
that's not a problem. art often provokes strong reactions from people.

>>211758449
>mad cuz bad

>>211758341
>The “boots, boots, boots” part had nothing to do with anything
Yeah they completely failed to actually tie that in with the plot itself but it made for some kino scenes. The marketing made it seem like it would be an in world radio broadcast from some mainlander cult, which they certainly hinted at with opening scene of the priest having a psychotic religious revelation about the infected.
Turned out to just be window dressing and sequel bait. SAD!

>>211758465
the first movie had soldiers who were giga rapey after 4 weeks of apocalypse. it was criticized a lot for it IIRC.

it also had Cillian Hinds running around like a ninja at the end when he "became" the infected metaphorically. but its a classic so you watched it uncritically.

>>211758509
>art
even this shit is better than that ending, art my ass kek

>>211758291
>>211758509
But, anon, this has (((Hollywood)))/(((Netflix))) mindless, mass-produced sloppa written all over it. You really think putting some albino globe trotters rape gang in it in the end for shock value has even a modicum of true artistic sensitivity?

>>211757548
>so Jimmy Saville wasn't outed as a pedo and the sequel is probably going to provide more commentary on how culture got frozen in time in 2002 and compare that to our own nostalgia-obsessed culture.
As someone who thought 28 Years had a mediocre second / third act, this is actually an interesting idea, but I struggle to see how this would be relevant at all to characters in a zombie apocalypse, what do they care about pop culture at this point? It still doesn't justify the kung fu fighting farce.

>>211740747
>This must be the first film in over a decade that feels like it's celebrating British culture rather than actively trying to destroy it.

This

>>211758604
Did those soldiers do backwards ninja frontflips to slice up the zombies? I might need a refresher if so.
>cilian running like an infected when he “became” one
How is that similar at all to the ninja gang? You’re just pulling shit out your ass at this point

>>211750263
>is being directed by one of the most obnoxious black women in the world; the one that made The Acolyte;

wtf why? Why cant boyle just keep it?

>>211758688
Samson is a pakistani and he never gets killed because the doctor feels bad for him or some shit.

>>211758748
she made The Marvels too lol, we are so fucked

>>211758669
>what do they care about pop culture at this point?
Especially when most of those blonde pole vaulters don't look older than mid to late 20's, meaning they would have need to have grown up in the apocalypse with nothing but a few Jimmy Saville VHS tapes for entertainment

>>211758617
Alex Garland had the trilogy all written in advance. it might start sucking at any point of course, we'll have to see. but the forward planning is reassuring and he thought Jimmy was important enough to start the whole movie with his backstory.

but he's not really a netflixy guy, more an A24 "this character is a metaphor for sexism" dude. in Netflix shows the sexism guy is just openly sexist so we know sexism is bad, metaphors don't really come into it.

>>211758669
because horror movies can work as commentary on actual society, like the zombies pushing shopping carts in the original DOTD.

>>211758813
When was the last good A24 film? They’ve been slop like netflix for at least a few years now.

>>211758710
I bet Boyle had no idea that backflips SPECIFICALLY would trigger so many people but I have a feeling he'd be laughing his ass off at the reaction.

>>211758863
>commentary on society
>sequel is going to have a discussion about artists like jimmy saville and michael jackson being unfairly cancelled
BRAVO!

>>211758873
idk, I don't get the impression we have the same taste in film lol

>>211758688
I'm not partial to the discreet, anti-white subtext analysis that some anons have, purely because I don't think the writer or director is conscious or intelligent enough to be that subtle, but the film includes a scene of a 7 foot tall brown man running angrily at the protagonists with the decapitated head of a young, white blonde man in hand and his dick swinging in the air. Also has a deliberate shot of the English flag burning.
Calling this a celebration of British culture is a stretch. Best it does is not being filled with non whites, which by today's standard is almost subversive

>>211758918
my guess is he shat this out his ass for fun. one guy already said it but it really did feel like a Sam Raimi film

>>211758291
28 DAYS, yes, but even then its "arthouse" roots are still somewhat up for debate because Garland was inspired after playing the original Resident Evil. 28 YEARS on the other hand is the complete opposite, it costed $60 million to make and that's not even getting into it's large scale marketing campaign across Europe with plenty of merchandise. Its clearly aiming for the mass market, in fact it needs to do so if Garland and Boyle even hope to complete the "trilogy".
People aren't upset just because it's "different", they're disappointed because the trailer set up widely different expectations and because the final product just falls apart in the second half with ideas that just don't really work. Not only that, but it's not a standalone narrative prioritizing artistic merit or even a well told story, they're trying to upsell you on a series of films.

>>211758964
>from the visionaries that brought you Spring Breakers…

>>211758604
>it also had Cillian Hinds running around like a ninja at the end when he "became" the infected metaphorically. but its a classic so you watched it uncritically.
It was a tad ridiculous at the time, yes, and anyone who's not a midwit made that remark or had similar thoughts on it. But you do know that similar phenomena can be manifested to different degrees, right? Murphy turning into a super killer is a tad out there but they otherwise managed to not be outrageous. Albino rape ninjas is beyond ridiculous.
>>211740747
Given how they've treated the whole empathy for the "barbarians" and primitive living against militarily regimented society themes, I bet my ass the sequels will try to decimate British culture.
>>211758813
>Calling "backstory" to such a rushed sequence
>more an A24 "this character is a metaphor for sexism" dude
Yeah, the negress will make sure the next film is laden with that kind of shit, don't worry. A match made in heaven.

>>211759042
$60 million might include both of the first two films. there's not money splashed all over the screen and they shot it all on phones again.

>>211756047
The masks? It's to prepare the kids for when they have to look for if someone is infected.

>>211759098
>they otherwise managed to not be outrageous. Albino rape ninjas is beyond ridiculous.
it sounds like it might be... LE SUBJECTIVE.

>the negress will make sure the next film is laden with that kind of shit
anon directors without writing credits don't write movies. given that both of the first two movies have already been filmed they just probably got a second director in so Boyle wouldn't drop dead from exhaustion.

>>211759263
wild level of cope

>>211759263
>it sounds like it might be... LE SUBJECTIVE.
>using retarded plebbit-talk to avoid providing an argument
Look, if you really don't think there's an evident difference in verisimilitude with those two approaches, there's nothing we can tell your retarded ass to stop you from being obnoxiously stupid.
>>211759263
>anon directors without writing credits don't write movies.
Tell me how you know nothing about how a film is made without telling me you know nothing about how a film is made.

>>211759263
>anon directors without writing credits don't write movies. given that both of the first two movies have already been filmed they just probably got a second director in so Boyle wouldn't drop dead from exhaustion.
I wish I could go back to being as naive as you

>>211759623
>>211759565
I'm actually just really touched that you have so much faith in Alex Garland's writing that you'd view any changes to it as inherently a bad thing.

>>211759623
Same.

>>211758762
>he never gets killed because the doctor feels bad for him or some shit.
I think the Doctor likes studying the infected(non-lethal morphine, covered in iodine so they'll ignore him) and didn't want to disrupt the local power dynamic. Maybe the Alphas are a positive influence on the infected since outside of that Alpha who lost his pack we don't see the infected suiciding into fortifications like in 28 Days. Given he puts both infected and non-infected skulls in the Boner Temple maybe he feels some sympathy towards them.

>>211759950
The issue is the opposite. The mediocre to poor writing was saved by the cinematography, especially in the opening 30 minutes or so.

>>211760127
>covered in iodine so they'll ignore him
It helps stave off the infection. They certainly don't ignore him, as the uberjeet was trying to rip his spine out of his body.
>>211760187
>The mediocre to poor writing was saved by the cinematography,
Meh, barely. There are some remarkable moments, yeah, but they're sparse.

>>211758762
>Samson is a pakistani
>Make the zombies pakis
>Add pro-English imagery of defence against zombies (pakis)

Thats fine

>>211760278
The cinematography in the fields with the blue skies and lands of the north was fucking kino stop being a try hard faggot

Do ATJ and Ralph Fiennes hang dong? Or is it only the alpha zombies?

>>211756832
It feels more like commentary on Brexit with the UK being isolated from the rest of Europe/World

>>211760347
>"There are some remarkable moments, yeah, but they're sparse."
>noooo, there's these handful of sequences that are amazing
Well, yeah. What didn't you understand?

>>211760490
All the infected hang dong

>>211752926
>8 swedes
Seriously the actor that played the last survivor needed a moment to get into character. When he first said his name he said it with a german accent, swedes don't say Rs like that. I thought he was supposed to be a german soldier. Every other time he says his name after that he does it normally
