>It's not a hyper-realistic, grim survival movie like my favorite YouTube critics say all good movies need to be.
>Therefore its terrible!
This movie isn't a masterpiece, but the criticisms of it are so lazy and performative

>>211825370 (OP)
Remove the name and its an average movie similar to apocalypse z
To much time wasted on that kid and his retarded mum

>>211825370 (OP)
Nobody criticizing actually watches YouTube like you tranny. Movie was shit as soon as the son became the lead. No futher words needed.

>>211825428
The people criticizing that part of the plot come off to me as people who don’t really watch movies. They aren’t supposed to be just endless chases and fights. It wasnj't amazing but it was somewhat engaging and better than just Hollywood quips or nihilistic dogshit

>>211825428
>To much time wasted on that kid and his retarded mum
then what did you expected another one line the first one or the second one?
then you would have complaint that it was playing safe.

The main real validad criticism of this film that is there enough action scenes or infected/zombies scenes
THAT is the main problem with this film.

>>211825370 (OP)
>NOO YOU CAN'T KILL THE GIANT PAKI MONSTER THAT CAN RIP SPINES LIKE NOTHING
Dumb ass movie.

>>211825370 (OP)
The more I think about this film, the more I enjoy it.

>>211825472
The movie kept introducing characters. It switched to comedy to drama to comedy, it was anti-climax like >>211825495 said why they don't kill the alpha? And don't get me start on the ending

>>211825428
>>211825465
it's okay to admit you can't watch movies without an adult male main character, but that doesn't mean all movies have to be made for your emotional limitations.

>>211825548
>>211825495
>why didn't the movie end with a cool boss fight?

hurr

>>211825585
That is not what he said. But you can't refute the criticism, right?

>>211825548
Sure, but I feel like I’ve seen that movie before. What would you have liked instead? The Alpha leading a coordinated attack on the fort?

The idea of the kid being raised to be some macho killer, then rejecting his father's survivalist mindset to save his mom, wasn't a bad direction. And it’s not like they came up with some miracle cure. I liked the idea of the son having to accept his mom’s death without selling his soul like his father did.

>>211825370 (OP)
yeah and the original wasn't that great either people just champion it as being "not like the other zombie movies" for no reason.

>>211825472
>They aren’t supposed to be just endless chases and fights. It wasnj't amazing but it was somewhat engaging and better than just Hollywood quips or nihilistic dogshit
Then maybe, just maybe, Hollywood shouldnt advertise this movie in the trailers like its going to be full of endless zombie chases and fights.

>>211825660
>The Alpha leading a coordinated attack on the fort?
No. I mean WHY they dont even mention killing him, the kid doesnt object even though he saw him killing and know he can get up.
>The idea of the kid being raised to be some macho killer, then rejecting his father's survivalist mindset to save his mom
The kid was a shit character but i liked the premise, his motivation for straight up abandoning his father was weak, he was loving towards him, his mom was insane. The mom was a shit character too but her ending was okay. It should have ended with the letter to his dad.

>>211825667
>for no reason.
But it IS not like the other zombie movies, for a starter they're not zombies...

>>211825370 (OP)
i haven't seen a movie filter audiences this hard in a long time. therefore i like it

>>211827390
Sad thing is its not even that complex. Just audiences are literal idiots now. Same people saying Dune 2 is a GOAT film

Would you join ser jimmy crystals gang, bros?

>>211827479
think i'd rather get infected and run around outside like humans are actually meant to live tbdesu

>>211825370 (OP)
These were the scariest fucking zombies I've ever seen in a zombie movie. This makes Snyder's day of the dead remake look like a disney movie by comparison.

>>211825495
>PAKI MONSTER
Poojeet shit flinger spotted, only you filthy indians see pakis where others just see a caveman zombie
>YOU CAN'T KILL
You can and they have killed a few, you're shitting your pants because the doctor character realizes it's easier to subdue them for an escape and not have the kid waste arrows ?

>>211825548
>The movie kept introducing characters.
You can count on one hand the amount of major characters in the film. Is that too much for your pea brain to handle ? Retard.

>>211825680
Imagine unironically stating you need the trailer to hold your hand when you're watching a movie.

>>211827620
kek

>>211825680
It was nearly 2 hours and maybe 30 minutes of that wasn't action

The kid's acting was good. Scenery was great, though I kinda wish it went back to 28DL's grainy. Fucking hated the ending, music wasn't memorable, how do the crawlers exist? Why do alphas control birds? They also fuck now?

>>211827787
These are the questions that actually deserved to be asked

>>211825680
There were like 5 substantial chase scenes evenly distributed throughout the movie, what level of retardation are you on ? I hope we can study your brain after you're gone because this level of reddit brain is actually impressive. There are automatons out there who watch a trailer and build their expectations 1:1 to the trailer, amazing.

>>211827390
I am suuch a contrarian. If everyone dislikes it must be because it's good! Not because i liked it
>>211827604
You like paki dick. No wonder.

>>211825558
It's okay to admit you are a shill. The movie fell apart because it was badly written not because of the kid

>>211825370 (OP)
the ending ruined the entire franchise lmfao

>>211827479
Yes

>>211825495
the doctor is weird - he sees humanity even in the infected. so he doesn't kill them unnecessarily

>>211827787
that's not the ending, it's an epilogue which directly follows from the prologue of the movie.
the real thematic ending was Spike leaving the baby to the village and venturing on his own, after facing death and the imperfectness of his parents.

>>211825753
>12 yo kid slapped by his cheating dad is disillusioned and in a very emotional response ventures off to save his dying mother
how dare a kid be a kid! how dare you not be a stoic experienced 30 year old fart you fucker!!!!

is this your first coming of age movie?

>>211828506
only two minute screen time

>>211825680
Movie trailers have been consistently misleading for decades, how many times do you retards need to be tricked before you stop assuming the trailer will represent the movie?

>>211828506
god this pisses me off so much
I'm glad I did not pay money to see this movie

It's pure, unadulterated kino.

His mum? The trailers focus on a dad figure, though.

>cheating husband cancer drama in my zombie apocalypse movie
No fucking thanks

>>211830566
The trailer catfished the audience.

>>211830642
if you get deceived by a trailer in the year of our lord 2025 kindly reexamine how you consume media

>>211825680
>>211830642
trailercels comprehensively BTFO

A decade ago and earlier it was common for the trailer to diverge heavily from the movie, and most of my best cinema experiences were movies where I went in not knowing what the film was about at all. In the last decade it's become common that if you've seen the trailer, you can judge how far in the movie you are from how much of the trailer you've seen, and you're never ever surprised. If you think surprise is a bad thing, then you're a mindless consumer who never wants to be challenged

>>211830599
You would understand if you saw the power of mommy feminism zombie hand holding

>>211830642
the trailer made it look like a cool movie, which was accurate.
but it wasn't the correct kind of cool movie for a specific highly online section of the audience.

>>211830566
the last third of the trailer actually has a bunch of Jodie in it, and even shows the baby.
actually the trailer has the same structure as the movie, starting with Jimmy's backstory, then showing the town, then Spike and his dad, then Spike and his mum and Ralph and the bone temple.

you just didn't care about the later stuff.

>>211831188
Zoomers are going to love this film. Zombie hand holding, zombie baby, power of mommy feminism transcends zombie space and time, zombie daddy big mad better watch out. Zombie kung fu saves the day! W in chat, put the fries in the bag zombie bro.

>>211825370 (OP)
Black Summer was the peak zombie show/movie nothing has surpassed it nor will. They should stop making zombie shows desu.

>>211831141
>>211831188
Subversive feminist propaganda is old news. If the movie was like the trailer it would have been a change for once. This movie is the same as every other 2020s movie

>>211831678
Thats how i know actual retards are watching this movie

>>211831161
ESL you are in every thread losing your shit over this

>>211825370 (OP)
I'm at a point where if the opinion comes from a Gen-X reviewer or an elder Millennial I disregard it immediately
purely because they're either going to be a tired boomerish curmudgeon mad that something isn't like the thing they grew up with, or they're going to give a deliberately absurd take to try and game the algorithm

>>211832351
You are in every threading shilling for the movie

>>211832441

>>211832742
You're the one defending the faggot movie made by faggots. Also I hate faggots, toss them to the furnace like the kids mother.

I'll have sex with blue tracksuit cunny in no time.

I went to the theater to see 28 Days Later when it came out.
I went to the theater to see 28 Weeks Later when it came out (I was the only one there on a Saturday in a town of 15,000 - fun fact).
I went to see this when it came out.

28 Days > Years > Weeks

Years was fun. I feel like most of the people bitching about it don't remember what Days was even like, and are so addled by the last 20 years of slop that they can't appreciate a character driven film like this without non-stop zombie action. Beautiful shots. Great acting all around. The end was completely set up from the very beginning, with several references to Jimmy. So not sure why normie retards are acting like it's this huge asspull ending.

>>211827479
Would I rather run out of arrows and be subjected to a virus that makes me feel constant rage for the rest of my existence or be in a gang of people who never grew up, worship Jimmy savile(before his pedo stuff came out) and are skilled fighters and just genuinely cheeky chappy's? Yea I'm going with the Jimmy gang.

28 Days >>> Weeks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Years

>>211825370 (OP)
>>It's not a hyper-realistic, grim survival movie
The problem is that it's exactly that, until the literal last minute of the film.

Its also funy that this film avoids a lot of the tropes /tv/ hates (modernity, feminism, token minorities) and they completely ignore it

>>211825753
>The kid was a shit character but i liked the premise, his motivation for straight up abandoning his father was weak, he was loving towards him, his mom was insane.
The mom wasn’t a lifelong deranged schizo, she had only been acting like that for a few months. Which is why the dad’s “dunno what it is m8, better abandon her and fuck some slag” attitude made the kid so angry.

where the fuck is 28 Months Later?

>>211828535
>the real thematic ending was Spike leaving the baby to the village
and how did non of the guards see him?

This movie has nothing to say about mass migration at all? Like nothing?

>>211834194
he did it the night before when the baby was asleep. the electric spotlight isn't left on at night (we see them being hand cranked during the alpha chase).

>>211834797
>The Bone Temple: Aaron Taylor Johnson struggles with villagers who are intolerant of unchecked baby migration

I feel like this should be font and center for all bong movies. Its the only issue that matters.

>>211831796
>If the movie was like the trailer it would have been a change for once

???
This is the first movie in ages that actually tries something original and isnt just reboot or rehash. Think there's a bunch of people pissed off because what they really wanted was just 28 Days Later 2

>>211834797
You could argue its isolationist setting is a critque of brexit

>>211834797
What the fuck are you talking about? What does a zombie film have to do with mass migration? Is your entire brain just internet memes or something?

explain to me in 20 words or less why you chose that buzzword of the month over other more suitable buzzwords

>>211835208
Everything is politics.

>>211835183
what isolation? immigration got worse after brexit.

I enjoyed the film for what it was but was disappointed that it wasn't what I was hoping for. The first third of the film was brilliant; tense, frenetic, grounded in something resembling logic based reality... Then it just went off. Again, enjoyable on its own merits but a big time tonal shift and not what it could and maybe should have been.
The more I think about it the more weird contrivances I come across. So many things in the film just don't make any logical sense from a world building or plot aspect, things that could have been handled much better but weren't, for whatever reason. There are a few standout moments that, after the fact, have me thinking 'what the fuck were they thinking with that?'.
I'll reserve full judgement until the trilogy is done. The Jimmy Saville power ranger cult is one of the least batshit things about the film really. At least that was clearly intentional. The tonal shift there is purposeful. The rest of the film was filled with way worse incongruity and script writing laziness.

>>211835399
oh god that never stops being funny.

>>211835399
The ultimate own goal. This is why you people are goy cattle. And should have a King instead of democracy.

>>211835219
negative for the sake of getting max attention. no attempt to convey a nuanced critique. you suck your father's dick.

>>211835405
>The more I think about it the more weird contrivances I come across

Ultimately the film has to have contrivances to maintain the small scale British feel of the first one. Trying to go 'bigger' in order to explain the logic of the world and what happened here or there just leads you to shit like 28 Weeks later.
Honestly stunned that they actually made the film they did and not 28 YEARS LATER INFECTED IN NEW YORK !!! type shit which is what I was expecting

>>211825370 (OP)
Yeah gee Billy, imagine going to watch a sequel that's tonally similar to it's predecessors. The most retarded defense I've seen for this film is claiming that the first one is some sort of surrealist subversion too when the main reason it succeeded was because of it's realism and bleakness. People wanted more of that, pure and simple.

>>211836367
Preach it, brother. This movie doesn't even feel like it's part of the same franchise. It's like it was written by women who watched thirty minutes of the first movie.

>>211836367
it's fine right up until the ending where it slips into fallout tier tongue in cheek shit

I saw the movie, and I'm wondering, does this retcon the idea that the zombies die after 28 days without food? Because there's no way there's that many of them left after 28 years.

>>211836367
It ends with the kid's mom being euthanized due to incurable cancer, and him having to accept the reality of death. Not exactly sunshine and rainbows.

>>211836652
The movie ends with tracksuit rock and roll priests ninja flipping onto zombies and killing them with razor wire nunchucks.

>>211836619
The zombies never died after 28 days, the movie takes place 28 days after the outbreak.

Based on the first movie it looks like they start dying off en mass somewhere between 30 and 60 days from infection

The idea is that some of the infected are like animal level smart like chimps so they’ve been able to continue and as a result they also can create more infected

However the idea that they are capable of raising young seems far fetched

>>211835183
The idea that the rest of the world is fine is utterly stupid

The rage virus if it did not destroy the world would have been irradiated from England

You think the world would just let England sit there full of dangerous zombies after the Americans lost like a few hundred soldiers in 28 weeks


No way

>>211836816
The orginal has an optimstic ending as well so whats your problem
https://youtu.be/ue7WwniOsXA?si=kZz-FWOby4ARrfRH&t=153

>>211836879
what are they supposed to do nuke britain?

>>211836619
It looks like these infected were based on the second wave in 28 weeks later. Somewhere along the way they learned (or were taught) to eat and drink and reproduce.

>>211836930
No you go in with padded gear that humans can’t bite through and masks so they’ve can’t bleed on you and you go through house by house killing everyone who’s infected

They literally begin to die off starvation and closure in a couple of weeks, the idea that the military with ships and tanks and reinforced bases would have been overrun is insane

They are humans without weapons, without organization, without anything besides surprise and ferocity

>>211836930
They show them using poison gas in 28 weeks quite frankly yes they shoould gas the cities and then jsut be very carful for a few months till they all die off

>>211836619
>I saw the movie, and I'm wondering, does this retcon the idea that the zombies die after 28 days without food? Because there's no way there's that many of them left after 28 years.

I assume that its just about evolution? Like the majority will die off but the really fast ones that can catch a deer will survive etc

>>211829055
the second movie is about them

>>211828506
so for 28 years did they just continue looking for jimmy saville style clothing that fit them

>>211837379
28 years is a long time

>>211825370 (OP)
The ending either makes or breaks it for you.
The alpha chasing Jamie and Spike on the causeway under the Northern Lights was beautiful.
The pregnant Infected giving birth and Isla helping was retarded, Spike going to the mainland with his tard mom was also dumb even for a 12 year old.
The lack of Infected during large part of Spike's journey was also dumb.

>>211838515
Pregnant zombie was very offensive

>>211838609
