Most divisive film of the year?

I don't really care either way

>>211829725 (OP)
The ending is objectively terrible and ruins the film.

not really
everyone seems to enjoy until the jimmy rangers part, and even then it's mostly not hating it, but the massive tone shift

>>211829790
A lot of people do like the ending though. It's fucking bizarre but some people like it for that reason. True gainax ending for sure.

>>211829772
spoil it

>>211829857
Jimmy Saville gang

>>211829857
At the end our protagonist, Spike, a 12 year old boy from the island community at the beginning of the film, is now living on mainland Britain and encounters a group of infected who chase him into a corner.

Suddenly, a gang of Jimmy Savile-power rangers-teletubbies imitators show up and literally do kung-fu on the infected to kill them.

The leader of the group introduces himself as Jimmy, wearing an upside down golden cross, revealing he is the boy from the beginning of the film who received a cross from his father in a church just before the infected kill him.

>>211829857
The blond boy from the intro comes back as an adult with a gang to save Spike, but the gang is dressed like fags and they do flips and kicks.

The ending

They had to sequel bait with something, I don't know why you guys are being so obtuse.

I hate judging movies off webms but this makes me not want to watch the movie at all.

Since we're spoiling the movie now, the pregnant infected giving birth and holding the mother's hands was the dumbest shit I've ever seen in a movie. I almost walked out.

>>211829772
that's the epilogue, not the ending.

>>211830053
the rest of the movie isnt really like this

>>211830053
This >>211830079
The webm anons keep posting is literally only the last 2 minutes of the movie.

>>211830076
Makes sense. It echoes the teletubbies scene which is the prologue of the movie, with both sort of bookending the meat of the film.

>>211830016
I've never seen a second of this franchise. Is it a comedy like shaun of the dead?

>>211830167
>Is it a comedy like shaun of the dead?
No. This franchise up to this point has been a dead serious exploration of what a zombie outbreak would look like. The reason why people are so pissed at this ending is because of the complete 180 degree tonal shift this does for the franchise. What has historically been the appeal of this franchise is its visceral and grounded nature. The ending of this movie completely threw that out and shit itself.

>>211830239
sounds like subversive kino

>>211829772
>>211829790
There are a dozen retarded things that make it 0/5 not just the ending

I rolled my eyes when the mother was holding hands with the pregnant infected giving birth. That was the dumbest girl power shit I've ever seen.

>>211830317
She did the Christ Pratt hand but to an infected instead of a dinosaur.

Kino is back.. and it has a name

>>211830053
And it makes me want to watch it ahahaha

>>211830317
Do you see everything through a politics colored lens? The point of the scene is to HUMANIZE the infected because they're not traditional zombies, THEY ARE STILL LIVING HUMANS THAT THE FRANCHISE ESTABLISHED IN THE FIRST FUCKING FILM! You are supposed to see that these infected are still PEOPLE. How fucking hard is this for you to understand?

>>211830376
>they're still human
>even though every infected up to this point has been a fat grey asian blob who eats worms

>fuckinggg go

>>211830355

Fat Asian blobs irl do eat bugs.

>10. The retard who made this signs his name, to let you know he is somehow proud of this

>>211830067
Why

>>211830922
You forgot the fat slimy zombies that eat worms and also have fat babies for some reason.

>>211830922
>Empathy for zombies meme right away, "oh no theyre a zombie family, and the humans are actually the bad guys" subtext
This never happens.
>Cowardice worship
In what way? Spike almost gets himself and his dad killed for being too scared to shoot straight. Eirik’s squad gets wiped out because they also panic.
>Dad is EVIL for being a chad, im gonna stab you because femenism!
Feminism is when you’re mad that your dad is fucking some slag and neglecting your cancer stricken mom and beats you when you point it out.
>Mommy field trip plot coddling, the entire premise is retarded also
Elaborate.
>Mom power hand holding with a zombie, this is not a genuine effort to make these zombies "sentient" its a hollywood feminism moment
She has mega brain cancer and it was the first infected even acting halfway human she probably ever saw. Odds are she was hallucinating it was just a normal woman giving birth.
>Shes got cancer kid, immolate her in this furnace (tonight, like right now, right now). LOL! Also here is her skull
She was clearly going to die an excruciatingly painful death within the next few weeks and knew she would be a burden on Spike going back home. They weren’t particularly subtle about the Doctor’s philosophical outlook on death and remembrance, so you’re either retarded or just being reductive because you can’t see how people living in a barren deadly shithole might view life differently.

>>211830922
>Now that I have been on the mainland for 48 hours I am a hardened veteran, not just a 12 year old kid with a pissing pants complex
He still fucks up at this point and gets too in over his head. He would’ve been fucked if Jimmy didn’t show up. He had plenty of time to get his bearings after multiple encounters with the infected and they showed the kids get trained in archery daily for years.
>Deliver baby with secret message back to home base, take that father for raising me in a village, I'd rather live amongst the zombies. All I need is this pocket knife and 12 arrows.
Do you forget what it’s like to be an adolescent? You’re rebellious and trying to find your place in the world. Imagine if your mom just died and your last memory of your dad is him beating you because you asked why he’s fucking some random woman and disrespecting your mother.
Last two bullets are just pointless crying. Filtered by a not particularly complex horror flick. Sad!

>>211831194
What was your problem with them? I thought they were sufficiently creepy and gross.

>>211830167
Jeremy Jahns of YouTube said to him he felt if this movie had a laugh track it would be a good dark comedy, take from that what you will.

>>211829725 (OP)
Honestly? Because I'm a Geordie and a lot of it just hit close with the mother I have to give it a 8/10 which was then escalated to a 10/10 once Jimmy gang turned up. It was bonkers and refreshing change from the marvel and diversity slop. I can understand why others might see it as shit but for me Absolute kino, thank you Boyle.

>>211831619
Incoherent. Go outside.

>>211831351
They just dont make sense from any logical point of view. They're something that would be cool in movie that has established more fantastical elements but in something that's supposed to be gritty and realistic they stand out. I can almost forgive the giant infected, there is some small amount of logic there. I also get the movie was supposed to be a fairy tale journey to see a "wizard" and in the process have the boy grow into a man but why even bother using the 28 day/weeks franchise then? Just create a new franchise where some chemical weapon goes off in the UK and turns people into all kinds of mutants. Then you can have all the weird special infected you want.

>>211831834

>>211830922
Dont forget getting two chances to kill the Alpha Infected but nut killing it for some reason.

>>211833035
It’s less a simple morality tale and more about the conflict between “civilization” and “barbarity.” I assumed the cutaway shots to footage of Roman soldiers fighting Gauls and battles between medieval knights and archers would’ve made that clear. I thought the shots of the archer’s tower and the sniper was very cool.

>>211833140
>look, you need to empathize with the mindless murderous zombies because... YOU JUST DO, OKAY??

>>211833240
I have no idea what you’re talking about, man.

>>211833240
Brown savages= good
White civilization= bad

So how the fuck are the infected still alive after 28 years if they starve to death in under 2 months? And why haven't they just nuked the UK at this point?

>>211833297
Because you're a fucking idiot.

>>211833079
So what? It was a dumb scene and didn't make any sense for a variety of reasons like "why did the virus evolve to make women pals?" or "how does a child grow up from a baby in a rage based insanity environment?" Dumbass

>>211833315
They're eating worms, obviously. Did you even watch the movie stupid?

>>211833315
Because zombies aren't affected by nukes, idiot

More pretentious slop “writing” from Garland.

The zombies are an allegory for mass immigration, right?

>>211833315
turns out some of them figured out how to eat, a biological function even more basic than murdering people.

It wasn’t horrific, but it was a mess with serious pacing issues and no real sense of what it wanted to be as a film. As a cinema goer i can absolutely see that Garland and Boyle have spent 23 years trying to figure out what to do with the franchise because it presents itself as an amalgamation of random shower thoughts over the past two decades at the expense of a coherent narrative. 7/10.

>>211833710
You sound really bitter lol

>>211833710
They pretty explicitly stated rescue missions are against the rules. They probably had the guy on lockdown, and he would’ve had to have fought the guards to open the gate anyway.
Also, he didn’t give a shit about his wife anymore. Just his son.

>>211833532
>they are immune to exposure I figure
the UK is amazingly temperate. people from the US honestly have no idea how weirdly average the temperature is, like it rarely goes below freezing even in winter.

>>211830355
Chav-rangers

I watched a camrip. It just wasn't all that great, I don't even care about the jimmy shit at the end, the premise and the movie itself did not interest me all that much, the characters weren't interesting either, and the entire premise of them being trapped / quarantined on the island is ridiculous as well.

28 weeks later wasn't a perfect movie but if I were to re-watch any of these films I would much rather watch that or the first one than this. Much more interesting plot, better acting, better characters, far more shit happening. This was boring trite, the "alpha" infected were cringe. The infected in general are very stupid and they would never survive winter walking around naked all the time, they would literally just freeze. They can't build fires, they can only "hunt" what they can catch with their bare hands since they have no tools. How would they even get drinking water just to stay alive in winter? It's just biological nonsense. Also it retcons the first movie where the zombies basically began to starve within a few days. If the virus makes them hyperactive and allows them to run extreme distances and speeds and whatnot, it would mean their bodies are constantly burning a fuck ton of energy, meaning these zombies would need to be endlessly consuming calories just to stay alive. They would be disease and parasite ridden from a diet that only contains raw meat.

28 weeks later also ended with the virus in Paris spreading all over Europe, and yet they just said nope the world dealt with it then and contained it in the UK again for some reason.

Also, why were a bunch of swedish sailors that shipwrecked on the Island wearing tactical gear and shit? Just the entire movie is a silly and dumb premise. Why wouldn't they even try to find a way to communicate with survivors in a village that is literally off the coast too? Maybe they won't let them back into the mainland but seriously they could drop off supplies and shit.

>>211833776
>writes a valid and thoughtful criticism
>lol ur just bitter

Fuck off, Alex. Your writing sucks.

>>211830053
The rest of the movie is nothing like this, which is the whole point of this scene. Most of the movie is loosely told from the perspective of a 12 year old boy who has lived his entire life sheltered on a remote island just off the mainland. This end scene is meant to be a wtf moment for both him and the audience as he first encounters the "strange people" of the mainland, which is foreshadowed throughout the whole movie.

>>211833866
Like he wouldn't have gone out anyways to "forage" but really to find them. The writers didn't want him in that part of the film and it doesn't make sense outside of that fact

>>211833959
>28 weeks later

literally a movie where every single character (and the entire US operation) has to be retarded for no reason for the plot to happen.

>>211834026
Do the strange people kill the boy?

>>211834053
No, they save him, but they look like dodgy lads and then the movie ends baiting a sequel.

>>211833959
>nooo, humans can't live without goyslop, iphones and vidya! i would literally die!
grim

>>211834053
Nah, he'll also be wearing a tracksuit and doing parkour while shooting arrows.

>>211830016
I forgot about the boy from the intro throughout the movie until the last scene. I thought it was quite clever in relation to the diagnosing of the mother's illness when the doctor asked if she could recall what he asked her to remember.

>mfw i didn't remember the intro
>mfw i also have braincancer

>>211830376
And what happened immediately after? She tried to kill the mother and Spike. Same with Samson (obvious stupid spoiler right there for the Bone Temple while we’re at it le heckin deeperino Garland writing at its best)

>>211834029
he's going to be in the sequels, most likely his and spike's relationship breakdown will have a chance to be fixed. the movie was already filled with different things, cutting away every so often to Aaron to see why he isn't doing anything would not have improved the film.

>>211834053
They give them the zombie baby, who grows up to become a disciple of zombjutsu, and eventually "white blade" for the next film

>>211830023
borderline experimental

>>211834104
>how many times have you seen a JIMMY message in the movie, Isla?
>I am going to hold up my finger. based on your recollection, how much larger is a typical Alpha penis?

>>211834114
wouldn't surprise me if Kelson lets Samson live because it helps keep the Jimmy gang away.

>>211830023
Woah, looks like Dr. Who is back on track.

Was anyone else annoyed by the "killshot cam" at the beginning of the movie?

It's like it was trying way too hard to appeal to gamers. Fucking tacky.

>>211833959
>starve within a few days
Not really a few days though. 28 Days had passed when Jim woke up, then another day wandering around until he got rescued from the church, then another day traveling to his house, then another day after they got attacked and reached Frank's house, then 2 days until they reached the soldiers, and yet another day in there before the soldiers turned out all rapey, another day fighting them. And then another 28 days after the crash, rescue in the hospital, and until they made the sign for the plane. At which point you see the infected finally starting to starve.

So all in all around 62 days, or 2 months.

In 28 Weeks later it is stated that it took 5 weeks for them to starve, and all in all, Britain was declared free of infection after 18 weeks.

>>211830355
now then now then...

>>211834284
nah, I've now seen the movie twice and it actually wasn't overused.

>>211832246
jimmy fucked corpses, these jimmies fuck up zombies

>>211831257
He fucking drugged him and then gave him his mothers skull to put on the top of some stupid skull tree and acted as if it was fucking nothing lmao get real

>>211834197
>how much larger is a typical Alpha penis?

Why are you guys so obsessed with this?

Do foreigners know who Jimmy Saville is?

>>211834350
actually I was ironically referencing how obsessed people are with it.
the joke in the Scary Movie version of the film would be that Isla keeps remembering the alpha's penis as larger and larger each time she is asked.

>>211834116
People have this mentality about “plot holes” where everything has to be spoon fed and everyone has to act exactly how they would expect them to or it’s somehow the fault of the film as a story.

do people in the uk have radio or any way to communicate with the outside world if it's actually fine out there? and if not, is it ever explained in the movie why they can't communicate with the outside world if the technology for it exists?

>>211834284
The rig must have been fucking expensive to only use it once. Plus Boyle usually does odd camera trickery, look at the way he shot the Pinbacker scenes in Sunshine.

>>211834350
I was surprised to find out this film wasn't written by a woman.

>>211834441
we could hypothesize that some groups WERE rescued but that there was also a fear of rescuing asymptomatic carriers based on 28 Weeks.

>>211834463
do you remember when in the movie they used it? I didn't see it on my rewatch.

>>211832370
To prove the point we should add it to all titles regardless of genre as an industry standard because it really isn’t important guys.

Anglos living abroad must suffer lots of racism in this universe.

>>211834441
No. After the government fell there would be nobody to process the paperwork for radio license renewal. The radios would be there, but essentially unusable

It was high tide so they knew he couldn’t get out and nothing could get in.

>>211834233
They’re just Philistines, both in how they are presented as acting in a contemporary understanding of the word and biblically they will die within the bone temple from Samson.

Garland isn’t a good enough writer to not make this a biblical cliche. Don’t get me wrong I did enjoy 28 Days Later, but the man is a hack of the highest order.

>>211835677
yeah, but they are raging so they are hotheads. Makes sense how they survived the winter when you think about all those hotheads in one place

>>211835863
That just makes them lose heat quicker. And there would certainly be at least one hard winter in 28 years

>>211835550
And he didn’t leave in the middle of the night? I’ve actually been to the place countless times, it changes multiple times a day. If a little boy can trick the town into leaving the gates unattended so he and his dying mother can escape I’m sure the fucking father can do it too. Imbecile.

IT BROKE NEW GROUND! Lets see the Crossed movie topple THAT

>>211835939
>hard winter, UK
>it goes down to -4 C on a couple of nights brr!

just walk it off

>>211836301
Usually people prefer to be surrounded by their loved ones, or even say goodbye. In this scenario the guy has drugs to dull any pain, meanwhile they blatantly said she has chunks of the day she is just fine. She has family and friends in the village right?

>>211836397
They live in dystopian nightmare world. The sooner they accept death the sooner they can actually appreciate life. That’s why the kid goes out on his own.

It may come off retarded but it’s the only way for the characters to make sense of the hell world their in

>>211830023
Lets go with the idea that the jimmy saville parkour bit is an epilogue, leading into the second film.
Would you watch the second film if its ENTIRELY like this?
It would be so demented I think I would have to

>>211836265
Yeah I know it too, you get two opportunities a day, so presumably the dad has to wait another six hours. Which he will, and he'll have to fight Jimmy Saville Power Rangers. For someone who wants to be seen as intelligent and to be able to psychologically project onto the film to understand it, you don't have much foresight especially about a film that we knew going in was setting up a sequel.

I'm sure there's countless predictable capeshit movies that are out in the other screens right now, you won't be filtered by everything

>>211836586
God I hope so

Why did nobody fucking aim for the Alpha's knee joints? One bullet would have neutralized him forever.

>>211836586
jimmykino incoming

>>211830239
Perhaps they're going for an Evil Dead style transition to horror comedy for the next two films.

>>211836586
If they're going to turn it into a black comedy they should just go all the way. Alpha vs. Jimmy gang with Paparoach.- Blood Brothers playing in the background.

>>211836586
>Their leader has a big red chair with a cigar compartment and gives a gold medal to the top zombie killer of the week

>>211836714
>bullet

So there were two alphas in the area? The doctor said Sampson was around for 3 months at least, wouldn’t they fight to lead the others?

>>211836714
Why did the little boy not care about the man killing his mother and handing him her skull when he woke up?
Why did the father not bother to go look for his son?
Why in 28 years did someone not once try and talk to the doctor everyone knows lives in the woods?
Why did the doctor build a stupid fucking bone temple when a wooden cross or stone monument suffice?
Why did the mother try and help the infected woman give birth?
Why does the doctor just have a shit ton of morphine lying around?
Why did Jimmies father save him in the church when we know they go insane ASAP?
Why did they clearly cut out so many scenes we see in the trailers out of the film when it provides context to scenes
Why is Alex Garland a narcissistic nepobaby who is incapable of writing anything but “MAN BAD” stories when he himself has not had to deal with any of the problems he writes about but has instead had a nice life provided for him by people being good, nice and charitable to him?

Why, why, why, my dear friend.

>>211829725 (OP)
Shitty critics like it.
Audiences hate it.
It's not divisive at all.

>>211837057
I imagine it will go something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4tVH7BPb-Q

>>211837251
no, if two alphas meet they have gay sex and give birth to the guy from Alex Garland's "Men".

>>211837296
>Why did they clearly cut out so many scenes we see in the trailers out of the film when it provides context to scenes

anon the trailer consists ENTIRELY of scenes and shots from the movie. there is zero content in the trailer that was not in the final film. you must be hallucinating.

>>211837338
>Be born into wealth with no worries about your future
>Write a book while daddy pays for you to travel the world for as long as you like
>You leave the book behind for people to pick up, they love it and go out of their way to promote it because they appreciate YOU, the author
>REEE MANKIND IS EVIL AND CALOUS, EVERYTHING MAN TOUCHES TURNS TO ASH AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER IF THE SPECIES WENT EXTINCT

I fucking hate Alex Garland with a passion. He is the quintessential stereotype of a narcissistic yuppie prick.

>>211837413
That isn’t true at all, go back and rewatch them. Just one of the scenes that immediately springs to mind is the scene with the decrepit infected rising from the fields and the NATO troops landing on the mainland and both are missing from the film.

Is it true that they retconned the ending of 28 Weeks Later where the zombies end up in Paris and now only the UK is infected and the rest of the world is fine?

>>211837638
paris was nuked and it was contained outside the uk

I said it many threads before, but the mom might still be alive. We don't see her getting killed and the way she kills the fat infected at the church augurs that she's not as meek as she seems.

>>211837735
Mate the doctor gave her skull to her son.

>>211830922
>>6. Shes got cancer kid, immolate her in this furnace (tonight, like right now, right now). LOL! Also here is her skull
This pissed me off the most and the fact that cancer = act retarded

>>211837531
you're trolling lol
Erik's group landing isn't in the trailer but is in the movie. Cillain zombie is in both.

>>211837784
It's a zombie movie, the skull could still be alive

>>211837808
kek

>>211837806
The sunset scene and absolute lack of emotion following it was just ridiculous. I feel like Boyle not returning for the sequel and just shipping it off is because he knew the film was a mess and was done with it during post production or just doesn’t give a shit about it and instead was hammered home so many times about it he just gave in and handed us a half hearted and hammy product.

>>211837784
How do you know it's her skull?

>>211838017
YFW she was just chained up by the doctor. Here is a skull, have a nice day kiddo!

>>211838017
I mean really, does it even matter? By the point we got to that stupid fucking bone temple I genuinely stopped caring about taking anything in the film remotely seriously and I think even the team felt the same way by the end. It’s shit.

>>211838017
It talked to the son when he placed it on top the jenga tower, did you miss the whole sunrise scene?

>>211830023
Now compare this with the tone of the first movie.

>>211837806
>This pissed me off the most and the fact that cancer = act retarded

Well it is brain cancer, its not like its only her tits or something

i want the alpha to breed my gf is this normal

>>211838643
Good job spike didn’t care much about her after he put her skull on the skulltree

>>211838643
Her mom instincts in the night against a zombie trying to get her baby still pulled through, luckily. But the brain cancer made her forget, oopsie doopsie

>>211837956
>he just gave in and handed us a half hearted and hammy product.

I mean it can be argued that this film is bad if you want, but he did try. It actually has new ideas and isn't just a soft reboot of the first one which would have been the easy option

I hate how they set up the first part with the father and son, only to shit on the father when they get back to the village and make it about the son and mom.

So how will the bone temple play into the sequel? If it’s such a major thing why does no one else know about it? You think Sampson only chased after the doctor cause he wants that sweet hit of morphine?

>>211838746
>women think the alpha's dick is big
Heh, guess my cock is giant

I just love how the series went from a single speck of their blood on you and you’re getting hacked to bits in a kitchen, or not paying attention for one second and you’re infected just by sheer shitty luck of a cation crow getting blood on you to “just use this old dirty napkin and wipe that off mah, lmao” or “NO SHE IS A WOMAN IN PAIN, I HAVE TO LET HER DIG HER HANDS INTO MINE AND SPIKE CUT THE UMBILICAL CHORD NOW BOY!” These are just silly little critiques of course, but it just goes to show how none threatening the infected felt and how the film seemingly just kind of stopped taking itself seriously at all by the half way mark.

>>211834463
>The rig must have been fucking expensive to only use it once.
aren't those just iphones though? the killshot cam was cool the first time but i immediately lost interest after that

anyway i just got home from the cinema. probably one of my favorite if not my #1 favorite franchise and i thought the movie was good despite many of the questionable writing decisions. the absolute seething that this film has generated on here however makes it 10x better, this thread has my sides in orbit. seems like a lot of the people who didn't understand the ending didn't make the connection to the beginning of the movie. will be interesting to see how twisted this cult is gonna turn out to be.

>>211830376
I haven't heard owt about the film but theres infected empathy????????????????????????

someone explain WHY there is infected empathy
>so uh everyone turned
>weve had decades of turmoil
>we now live on some island thing (from what I can work out from the trailer)
>but uhhhh THEYRE STILL PEOPLE CHUD

??? literally why I absolutely do not understand it, why didn't this character immediately shoot the infected, there is no humanity they are fucking infected

>>211838960
All the humans will get shagged by giant zombie boners!

>>211830376
This, so much this. Chuds lack media literacy and human empathy.

>>211839313
It goes off the rails as soon as Spike takes his mother to the mainland. The stupid bone temple, the infected giving birth scene and the Jimmy Saville stuff. I 110% guarantee you that there will be fanedits soon that cut out 75% of the second half.

>>211839313
There's no infected empathy outside of terrible people like the MC, his mom and the doctor. The dad is a sensible person vis a vis the Infected Question.

>>211833457
>>211835863
right question: if an infected is running about all day or just wandering thats thousands of calories burnt, if they run warm thats more calories burnt, HOW the fuck are they finding enough food? surely there cant be that many infected given the fact that it can get into minus temperatures in winter and they cant build fire, I dont want to hear
>muh yookay temperature

I live here, if I was in minimal clothing there's at least a week or two in winter where youd just fucking die, ive seen dead homeless people with cold snaps so how are they living? they dont build fire, do they hunt animals? are they like crossed? I need answers because this sounds like stretching bollocks

>>211839359
Simmer down Mr Jomha, not everyone here is in their thirties.

>>211839313
>theres infected empathy????????????????????????

The only characters that do that are insane or a child

The only saving grace of this movie is that if they make a 28 decades later we might get some kino Man After Man style human evolutions.

>>211836390
thats still killing some starving naked infected wanker, it literally kills homeless people who aren't wrapped up properly

>>211839515
I know someone who died in winter trying to walk home after a party and it wasn’t snowing or icy. Just walking around in a shirt and jeans full of drink and forgetting where he lived was enough.

i watched this piece of shit and it is the absolute sloppiest slop of all time but still entertaining to an extent
i don't know what the fuck the point was though

>>211839580
I don’t even think the doc empathizes with the infected, he just treats them as any other animal, like a minor inconvenience when Sampson is chasing him for a morphine hit.

>>211839515
Its a movie why does it matter?

>virus downshifts metabolism and changes your body so you need less energy blah blah

There you go

>>211839491
>>211839504
>>211839580
so is it a decent film then? or is it slop, I want to like this film, I hope its not wank

>>211833140
>no goy, you can’t kill the mixed race zombie baby, you have to take it back to your village and introduce diversity you bigot

Also even if the placenta could filter the virus, it was still exposed to tons of the mother’s blood from the vagina and uterus. I actually liked the movie alot but the birth part and baby thing was beyond retarded

>>211839687
im not convinced worms are sustaining anyone for 28 years, do they not eat anything bigger? they're still running on human body settings, you need a fucking lot of food to be out for long periods of time

How did this shit get funded?

I can literally see the execs eyes dart around the room the very instant Garland started blabbing about a stupid fucking bone temple outside of Newcastle.

>>211839692
Ignore everyone saying the second half is bad, it's genuinely brilliant, emotional and mature. The only ONLY objectionable part is the ending and I liked it.

This film is actually kino for horror standards.

>>211839692
I would say its a good film with a questionable ending. Its definitely not generic slop, everyone's criticism is basically that its too weird

>>211839692
If you went to the cinema and left as soon as Spike leaves with his mother you would probably walk away and say to yourself: “it wasn’t great, but I enjoyed that and it was just a bit of good fun” if you decided to stay, you’ll either still fall back to the above or hate it. At best it’s just OK, even during the most engaging parts of the film.

>>211839796
Based. Fuck the chuds, it's pure KINO

>>211838969
no way you're bigger

>>211829725 (OP)

>>211839796
It definitely wasn’t lmao just look at this shit it’s so ridiculous

how big was his willy?

>>211830922
Quite literally, have sex

are only the alphas breeding or is there a chance for the common infected

The fat ones have kids too that are also fat

Never had a hate fuck before Anon

>fat=american

North-East chad here

>your country
>how easily did you understand the accents

how does this alpha stuff work? is there one or a bunch of them

>>211840169
There's a lot of alphas, but only a few sigmas.

>>211840241
wheres jim as well?

>>211840169
Implies a few, enough where they know about them but rare enough to not always encounter one. Just don’t get how there’s two alphas and they never fight or anything.

With all the alpha/beta stuff and random Jimmy Savile drops, this movie sounds like one big shitpost.

>>211839796
>This film is actually kino for horror standards.
This lmao. By horror movie standards this is basically a masterpiece just for having the slighest amount of decent cinematography

>>211830922
>>3. Dad is EVIL for being a chad, im gonna stab you because femenism!
Are you actually retarded? Spike’s reaction was both justified and showed his strength of character.

>>211839796
This, i actually enjoyed his journey with the mom a lot more but i also prefer human drama in these kind of settings more than the brainless action anyway.

>>211840296
It's so fucking kino when the swedish soldier referenced WallStreetBets when Spike was talking about the alpha

>>211840319
non-brits won't get it but that tree is like showing the twin towers are still standing in this timeline

>>211830023
I saw this clip here and thought it was batshit insane and fake
but after seeing it in the context of the film, I thought it was fine

They embargoed reviews and promoted it to give you the impression it was something else is because they knew it was terrible

Alex garland and Boyle are liberal fags right? Why did they leave the social commentary ambiguous enough to support based ideals?

>infected= brown + paki immigrants= savages who have destroyed England

>emphasis on father figures

The negress directing the sequel is gonna push “le white men are the real monsters” hard as hell isn’t she?

>>211840323
>I'm going to kill you Dad because I'm a retarded 12 year old whose balls haven't dropped yet.

holy fuck it's terrible
why is the plot so shit all they literally needed to do was zombie kino fights

>the alpha zombie is a 6'9 black guy and people are obsessed with his massive dick

oh come on ffs, actual shitpost, weve got bbc shitposting in 28 years later.

>>211840363
Wrong tree bro

t. guy who lives 10 minutes from its stump

Why are Alphas like predators and rip the skull out with the spine attached?

>>211840390
Then a doctor knocks him out, melts his mother and he puts her skull on top of a skull temple like it’s no big deal

>>211840373
movies that are embargo'd to protect them from professional critics don't get 89% fresh on RT.

>chuds are already calling it woke
This is embarrassing.

>>211840377
Garland said he's a liberal but doesn't like that many people have this us vs them kind of perspective where everyone from X side is good and Y side is all bad people and therefor doesn't want to take sides in his stories.

>>211833776
you sound really stupid lol

>>211840390
>I’m going to use a weapon because you are twice my size and have already slapped me around
You’re an idiot if you can’t see Spike’s logic. He didn’t attack Jamie he was just trying to get him away from the mom.

>>211830023
Pure, unfiltered cringe kino

>>211840472
too soon bro. I'm still having flashbacks of the day the one tree fell. remember 9/28.

>>211840487
The real moral of the story is that the son should've trusted his father and stayed in the village instead of letting his ego get the better of him and trying to have a wild adventure that gets his mom killed sooner.

>>211840479
is that even remotely possible, bit fantasy esque

>the parkour golf club scene is the actual fucking ending
lmao you cannot be possibly be serious.

>>211840633
>gets him mom voluntarily euthanized sooner

dumb little snot-nosed punk. someone should kick his ass.

>>211833315
they retconned almost literally everything about them. they're not the same zombies from the previous two films. these are not enraged to the point of mindlessness, they deliberately and gently transform people instead of fist pounding them into mush. a swarm of them is not overwhelming but something that you can 360 arrow noscope like the walking dead. their blood is no longer the kind of thing that will instantly infect and kill you with one drop because all of the characters spend ~50% of the film covered in zombie blood and spit.

>>211840700
All roads lead to Jimmy, trust him for he comes.

>>211840487
You think the Doctor was a Warhammer fan before the rage virus and just kinda went wild after shtf.

>>211840633
The thing that just made me freeze and say what the actual fuck to myself WAS THAT THE MOTHER FUCKING KNEW THE WHOLE TIME. How people are writing this absolute pile of rancid shit off as a masterpiece is baffling to me.

>>211840633
>he should have done nothing so she suffers for months just to have a painful death anyway while his dad fucks some other slut

>>211840747
SLOPKINO

>>211840747
It’s alright when fucking Legolas is one the case

>>211840741
>their blood is no longer the kind of thing that will instantly infect and kill you with one drop because all of the characters spend ~50% of the film covered in zombie blood and spit.

wait whaaaaaaaaaaaaa thats what makes them so dangerous tho? so how do they turn people then? this is bollocks it makes 0 sense because thats a trait the virus would keep to make it transfer easier

>>211840780
slop is never this fucking weird
slop almost by definition means a gruel made from the ingredients of previous movies.

>>211840683
chimps do it so an enraged human could too

>>211840774
The doctor has plenty of drugs. Which is why he didn't even melt the mother, he chained her up for keeps and gave the boy a random skull he cleaned.

>>211840757
I completely checked out by the time the stupid bloody temple of Doom was showcased as his memorial. Ridiculous.

>>211840816
Where is it implied in this movie that the blood doesn’t infect? The son even freaks out when the mom gets it on her and wipes it off right away. The blood still infects you just never used in the film to infect someone.

>>211840816
that anon is literally just lying.

>>211840879
>>211840894
ffs I haven't seen it have I, being blatantly lied to

So how did they defeat the infection on the European continent? Shit was in Paris

>>211840861
>the doctor gives the boy a different skull and tells him to put it on the tower
>tells him to leave
>actually has the dementia whore in his sex dungeon

>>211840816
how could you fuck an infected woman without turning then?

>>211840879
it was actually used in the prologue and worked in exactly the same way as the previous movies.

>>211840816
The boy hands his mother a dirty napkin and tells her to while her face and in another scene the mother begs the little boy to cut an umbilical cord off of an infected woman. It’s bad. It’s so, so, so bad.

>>211840879
He fucking takes out a napkin and puts it back in his pocket lmao shit is a joke

>>211840930
they hid all the pain chocolat

>>211840946
wots this infected birth scene business

>>211840939
Even if someone did in the movie it still wouldn’t be the stupidest thing in it by a long shot.

>>211840930
they probably just shot everyone and had strict quarantining whilst the uk was massively incompetent and useless so they left us to it (probably)

>>211840939
There's no blood in the vagina

>>211840946
the umbilical cord is part of the placenta actually, and the thing the doctor says about placentas blocking viruses is actually true.

not that Ilsa knew any of this but she was clearly having an episode.

he would've saved england

>>211840937
They're holding hands right now

>>211841001
Ok and going based on what the first movie says it has to get in your eyes or mouth to turn you, not on your hands. It’s a very nitpicky thing to bitch about when in this very movie they show just a drop still causes infection.

wait so they try to save an infected baby thats not infected because of the placenta? but then how has the baby gained enough nutrients when they eat fuck all

>>211841014
as someone who loved the movie, it really is highly contrived and relies on you rationalizing that one character is effectively hallucinating. but I assume its in there to set something up for the sequels just like the Jimmy gang.

>>211841213
best find out what happens to jim, bit fucking annoyed ill have to wait like 3 years for another if they're making another, might be fookin dead by then

>>211841271
Next one comes out in January mate

>>211841014
The mother finds a pregnant zombie, she grabs its hands and helps it deliver the baby. Immediately after the zombie attacks them and the swedish soldier kills it. The movie then punishes the evil white man by having the alpha rip his head and spine out.

>>211841014
The soldier, the boy and his mother are walking through a forest and the mother just fucks off because she hears a screaming infected (walks in its direction mind, not away from it) they come across a wrecked train and an infected woman is giving birth in it. The mother decides to get down on her knees and hold hands with the infected woman until she delivers, at which point she asks the boy to use his knife to cut the umbilical cord. After this happens, the infected woman attacks and the soldier kills her and gets fucking daggers shone his way for it. Man it’s an awful stupid film. Just do yourself a favour and watch a stream.

>>211841195
the infected do eat. they are even shown standing in a river incompetantly trying to fish and an Alpha pulls a deer's head off.

you have to accept that the virus started evolving and the strains whose hosts died out were eliminated.

What do you think 2030 London is like

>>211841077
Do you know what happens when a woman gives birth? It isn’t even just the blood that’s the issue even if their ridiculous in universe explanation were totally fine

>>211829725 (OP)
It was kino until the last scene. Which could have been kino as well but was shot very shitily. Unless there's some big cool reason for that scene in the next one I don't give a fuck about this series anymore.

This is a dark fantasy film in disguise. It doesn’t even try to hide it all that hard as it has countless shots of medieval combat footage interspersed in the movie

>young knight follows seasoned veteran on his first expedition

>first encounters lesser goblin folk

> is later beset by orcs and is nearly killed

>returns a hero but later must leave to find the fabled magical healing wizard

>is saved by a friendly Viking/barbarian who joins their quest but falls in combat against the orcs

>encounters a group of warrior monks at the end who wish to strike an alliance

It’s kino and I’m tired of pretending it’s not

>>211841328
>is that an adult male not being viewed with awe and reference?
>AAAAH THIS IS LITERALLY MALE GENOCIDE

>>211841183
They’d been walking through rough terrain for weeks and literally just survived an explosion inside of a gas station. Even IF you had been making sure to moisturise your hands properly to stop fraying on your fingers, any open wound is fair game and even AFTER that you need to properly sanitise your hands and ensure infected fluids still on you gets nowhere near an orifice or wound. It’s stupid man. It’s a stupid movie that doesn’t take itself remotely seriously.

>>211841306
kinell thats fast, how are they managing that?

>>211841195
The doctor says it could survive a few days on water but the thing is infants/. CANNOT drink water it will kill them

>>211841484
It did feel kinda Warhammer at points

>>211841402
>their ridiculous in universe explanation
the thing the doctor says about the placenta is true. I looked it up. even if it's not perfect IRL, it's easily real enough for a scifi horror film.

>>211841498
It tried to kill the mother and the boy and the film punishes him for it. He fucking saves them lmao.

Do you think Erik's fiance was sad

>>211841558
It was covered in the mothers blood after so how it didn’t get any in its mouth or eyes is beyond me

>>211841558
Did you read what I just said? Childbirth is a fucking mess, even IF that were the case there’s shit and piss and sweat everywhere.

>>211841523
actually, no, the blood pressure of your blood will prevent a virus entering your body via a cut.

AIDS only gets transmitted over mucus membranes, so you wouldn't want to snort infected blood or rub it on the end of your cock. don't do that.

>>211841592
he gets a respectful sendoff and is generally well-developed as a character. you are being a MGTOW retard.

>>211841392
0% white

>>211841679
Did you not watch the parts in the other films where they explicitly said they would hack you to death for a scratch or a bite? Stop going whole hog on this ridiculous scene am I actually talking to fucking Alex nepobaby Garland or something? Lmao

>>211841525
they shot them both back to back

If the Alpha came in my pussy would I get infected?

>>211841714
>he gets a respectful sendoff and is generally well-developed as a character

Ok, you're just trolling at this point.

>>211841642
>>211841658
the scene is definitely contrived, but like I said, the baby is clearly in the story because of something in the sequels and yet you are mad that it was even introduced because of other made-up rules about infection. suspend your disbelief.

>>211841796
Idk, I'll watch and observe

>>211841865
Oh no of course that’s the case, it’s just ridiculous.

>>211840487
>Then a doctor knocks him out, melts his mother and he puts her skull on top of a skull temple like it’s no big deal

Well its the apocalypse, its not like the Skull Police are going to stop you if that's what you want to do

>>211841811
I get the impression you already hated the movie at that point anyway. Erik was based and his dialogue with Spike was amusing and humanizing. him being afraid of the baby made logical sense it wasn't a case of liberals jumping into the movie to deliver a "men bad" lesson. you are paranoid as fuck.

I don’t even know why they bothered with the soldier plotline as it added nothing and took away from time better spent developing the main cast and adding context to some of the more lacking parts of the narrative. If anything, this movie had way too much it wanted to do and say and didn’t have the screen time for it which is odd considering the decision for a trilogy was before shooting started as far as I am aware

The covering yourself in iodine idea was interesting, I wonder how he figured that out or if it’s just his mad ramblings since he does work with corpses all day.

Why the fuck did the mother even go if she already fucking knew she had cancer? This movie was beyond stupid on so many levels

is iodine something you can make easily? i wondered how how he could manage having a seemingly infinite supply of it

He could since he’s by the coast, but everything about the doctor and the temple makes no sense as soon as the infected start attacking him too and he refuses to hurt them.

>movie says he's justified in pulling a knife on him and running away

The directors were obviously fatherless

It would be extremely painful

i only think the alpha attacked them because they had the babby, iirc he mentioned that the bone towers keep them out

it does still infect but the movie plays extremely fast and loose with it as other anons pointed out:

it just isn't treated as a big deal in the same way the other movies did. the dad from the first movie getting the single drop of blood in his eye from something so incidental that you wouldn't even think of like a corpse above you on a catwalk sets a totally tone than grappling hand to hand with the zombies or literally delivering a zombie baby. how would a rage zombie even carry a baby to term? they throw themselves over obstacles with wild and reckless abandon and eat a diet of raw deer i guess because they're smart tribal zombies now so they could rehash the plot of that awful army of the dead movie. there are videogame-esque elements now like zombie variants and alphas and crawlers. zombies get taken out by the dozens instead of the climax of the first movie where one (1) zombie causes a complete breakdown inside of a military base of armed men. it's just a totally different franchise and doesn't take itself even 1% as seriously as the previous entries.

Art isn’t objective and you know it.
