He did literally nothing wrong

he was a coward

>>211924435
Dying for no benefit is not brave

in my culture what he did would be very taboo and frowned upon

>>211924414 (OP)
He kissed his immune but infected wife like a complete mental retard and then brutally killed her.

>>211924414 (OP)
He played Sarah Gadon's father and Amanda Fix's grandfather in a movie once.

>>211924617
Nigger incel culture?

Is there a dumber family in all of fiction?

Looking at the girl on the right, all I can think of is her pooting

>English
>Wearing Real Madrid shirt

He deserved all the suffering

>Renner pre dick loss

Kino

>There's been an outbreak
>I know lets put all of the civilians in a room a zombie can easily break into

Bravo

he glassed some girl at a pub

>>211924726
being asymptomatic is not immunity

Brits aren't known for their smarts

Are there actually people like that?

>>211926892
Maybe in some bumfuck village/towns there's casuals, but i've never seen a Brit supporting a Spanish team

Every time /tv/would post this guy, until I watched the movie yesterday, I thought it was that guy from top gear and Wipeout

>>211926252
They were held in a spanish refugee camp for 6 months. And the director is spanish.

>>211926365
in a recent interview when asked who he'd prefer to return in a future installment of the series, boyle said jeremy renner because of the kinoness

>>211929339
It wasn't Danny Boyle wtf?

>>211929629
Jeremy Renner would be the first zombie in the series!

>>211929629
He got burnt alive

>>211930807
yeah he cited this as one of the two reasons why they couldn't reuse his character

28 weeks later was fucking retarded even for zombie movie standards

>>211926072
everyone in the movie is very stupid. literally every character.

>>211931397
What was the other reason?
>>211931516
I agree, how did SO many infected escape the bombing and get to France

>>211931557
>literally every character
I'm trying to think of an exception and simply can't. How did the Ragies even manage to get into the snipers' nests when lockdown failed?

>>211924414 (OP)
He failed to fix the Galactica.

>>211931602
>I agree, how did SO many infected escape the bombing and get to France

Are you trolling?

>>211931516
If it wasn’t made by Danny Boyle, it’s not canon. Only the opening scene of 28 weeks is canon.

>>211931516
the best thing about 28 weeks is, you don't have to watch it at all, because Britain being quarantined is actually suggested towards the end of 28 Days. so no information is missing, you can just go straight to Years.

>>211931893
They also completely retconned the ending

>>211931729
>it’s not canon.
>It's in 28YL
Cope, my anon.

>>211931927
just because you see some infected starving doesn't mean they all were. they also have to have been drinking water or they'd die in under two weeks of thirst, not a couple of months of starvation.
the concept of asympotomatic carriers does help explain quarantine being the only explanation, though.

>>211932197
>the only explanation
meant "the only solution", fuck

>>211932197
I'm talking about how the ending of 28 weeks suggested the infected had taken over Paris and were going to flood mainland Europe, but 28 Years says Europe is fine

28 weeks later was a better resident evil 2 movie than the official resident evil movie
the parts when they are escaping the city was like resident evil

Do I need to rewatch 1 and 2? I seriously don't remember shit about 2.

My favourite part of 2 is just how retardedly lax the security and procedures are for such a dangerous situation

>Oh we've just recovered a woman who has the virus active in her, shall we post a couple of our hundreds of soldiers on the door? Nah dont' bother lmao, it's not like it's our janitor's wife and he has access to every single room in the complex even the highest security areas :)

>>211926072
The only reason Paris got nuked is because the one on the right died and NATO figured there was nothing left in that city worth saving.

>>211932076
>intro that is the entire indirect reason for the second outbreak is irrelevant

I watched some "reactions" on Youtube a while back and not a single viewer I saw considered his actions, just noted that he was an evil selfish prick for the rest of the movie.
It's the same with reactions of Breaking Bad's Ozymandias episode where viewers interpret Walter's call as "he is an evil guy because he got angry and called skyler a bitch"

>>211932578
You don't need to rewatch either. All 3 films kind of stand on their own, not giving any extra context to the others.

>>211932368
iirc boyle said paris might've been nuked to contain the outbreak, but it wasn't a definitive statement more like some random thought, because apparently he doesn't really give a shit about continuity when the franchise has been cold for almost two decades and any plans they might've had for the third movie have been scrapped several times over.
the rage leaks pic of the quarantine zone doesn't show paris, so i guess they just pretend the weeks ending was a dream or a "what if" vision or something, simply because the don't want to go down that road of a world war z scenario, focusing on the british isles instead

>>211932644
I liked how the mom escapes a room full of zombies and travels 50 miles from Oxfordshire (where the intro is) to her original family home in central London in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. all so she can be found by her kids first instead of the military.

>>211933014
>apparently he doesn't really give a shit about continuity
in fairness its Alex Garland's job to worry about that stuff.

>>211926072
Don't care post her side profile.

>>211932644
the zombie apocalypse was over. all infected killed.
how was it laxed when the whole thing was full of snipers and sealed with gates?
the infected were killed. there was no threat

>>211933014
>the rage leaks pic of the quarantine zone
forgor pic

>>211933014
>>211933494
It's still retarded that Ireland was infected while the mainland was not.

>>211933252
They literally brought somebody into the base with the active virus and didn't think to put guards on the door.

Their "containment" plan also involved sticking all of the civilians into a room that could easily be broken into by a single zombie.

>>211932679
I do wonder what happened exactly on the chopper ride.

>>211924414 (OP)
>Sir, the carrier we found, who has been emphasized to be the single most valuable individual in the country, who you ordered to be strapped to a table with zero guards, doctors, or any personnel in general, has caused an infection when a lone staff member walked in unchallenged and molested her.
>Mother of god. I want all civilians, and I mean ALL civilians, taken from their secure apartment buildings and shoved into the smallest parking garage you can find. Scatter all military personnel in every direction except this zone.
>And shut the lights off.

>>211933720
Andy probably sneezed, Poots turned(GOD DAMNIT!!!)and then attacked the pilot. Both went off and killed some frenchies. Andy got eye gouged or died from nuke.

>>211933807
kek'd

>>211933078
honestly i don't really blame them for not wanting to continue from where a semi-sanctioned second installment left off.
it's always a huge problem to rearrange your own canon after you've left it simmering for too long and realized a whole different direction would suit it better.
and doing this for somebody else's work is gotta be absolute grueling

>>211933807
>Sir, right now only about 10 people have been turned so we could easily contain it. The absolute worst thing that could happen is if the infected get into the poorly barricaded civilian room, should we post a few guards on both entrances to ensure this doesn't happen?
>no soldier, go grab the flamethrower

>>211933807
even with some kino moments here and there the overall premise was just bland as shit.
another generic zombie outbreak halfway into the movie and then everybody is fighting and dying for the remainder of the movie.
at the end the main characters are rescued and the whole story repeats itself once again but on an even larger scale this time.
28 centuries later ends with the infected inventing space flight and pozzing the whole universe after stumbling across some aliens

>>211933807
>>And shut the lights off.
Lost

>>211929629
>scene where zombies dick gets bitten off by a zombie
who the fuck are we gonna get for stunt double for this scene? how are we gonna film a stunt cock getting to-
>everyone slowly turns to renner

>>211933807
i love shit like this. or just reimagining scenes like when they start opening firing into civilians from the roof top in the second one, i like to imagine all their radios are just broken and they were just opening fire into what they thought was completely innocent non-infected civilians. way funnier that way.

>>211933807
>>211934329
hearty keks were had

>>211934185
that is pretty much my take on the movie too. scattered kino with the majority of the movie being meh. they could have done so much more with the premise, and made it a lot less dumb.
just some adjustments:
>the kids stumble upon actual infected in the city who no one had noticed due to being indoors (still alive for whatever movie reason required)
>due to these infected now coming out and the security realising the sudden threat of potentially thousands of infected in the vicinity they begin major operations clearing house by house
>get to follow them doing that instead of boring ass sniper creeping on people scenes
>zombie action is cool, simple as
>due to security being spread out they can't post sufficient sentries when the mom is eventually brought in
aaand the rest is still gonna be retarded, but at least this would improve the movie overall to me, and add some humanisation for the army dudes who went from killing actual threatening infected to fleeing civilians.

>>211924547
>>211924435

he would've been killed and his wife would've just been offed by him anyway once he got infected like it played out later in the movie.

Then there'd be no story

>>211934495
it's by no way shit, just pretty generic and now it seems it's no longer considered canon.
if you like the fast zombie shit go for it, just don't expect there to be any proper connections to the third installment

>>211926224
Are you imagining it?

>>211924414 (OP)
He kissed his infectious wife like a retard and caused an outbreak in a safe zone

Did you even watch the movie?

>>211934495
If you mean 28 Months After, that one film on Tubi, don't do it. It's the cheaper end of shitty horror films where most of it is dull talking on empty sets to compensate for the lack of a budget.

>at least 4 infected males in the room, plus the about to be infected little boy
>mom is clearly dive tackled by one of them away from the window
>hundreds of them swarming the property outside
>she somehow gets out of this with only light injuries
>when the infected are marked by extreme, uncontrollable rage - meaning immune or not, they would just keep mauling her until she died

?

>>211934426
Anon mentioned the comic in this thread so I started to read it.
He blew up their boat for shits and giggles, not because they broke quarantine.

>>211924414 (OP)
it always bugged the shit out of me how the movie tries to portray him as a sleazy coward. He did nothing wrong. His wife was a retard who chose to throw her life away and get herself cornered. And he's supposed to what, turn back and needlessly die against a horde of zombies? Muh honor?

>>211935514
Abandoning a woman to certain death flies against western notions of chivalry, you are expected to go down fighting for her

>>211935514
>turn back and needlessly die against a horde of zombies?
And leave their children parentless in the process. Even if he was a gigachad fighter that could have beaten the shit out of the infected, they can still infect him easily - if not be spewing their own blood in his face, the droplets being sprayed on him when he maims them

Why was he smarter then the average infected?
Why are the infected in Days and Weeks so much more savage than the ones in Years?

Why did the janitor have security clearance to even the most dangerous and pivotal locations of the base?
Why was the outbreak protocol to take all the civilians and lock them up together like fish in a barrel?
Why did the lock-up location where all the civilians were gathered have an open unguarded back door?
Why was the lock-up location exit secured with chains that could be broken just from people pushing on the doors?
What was the purpose of even bothering to kill civilians and gas/carpetbomb the base when it was already known that the zombies will eventually just die of starvation and dehydration on their own in a few weeks?

>>211931557
That's this dude's movies. In the first one and in the recent. Everyone is completely retarded and constantly does things that make no sense.

>>211935680
How about abandoning their still-living children? They have a responsibility to survive for their kids' sake. She chose to turn back and get herself killed while a pack of feral ghouls are chasing after them. She was in the wrong. And he tried everything he could to keep her going. All of her actions caused everyone's doom

Who was more competent

>Sergeant Rape (28 days)
Or
>Lieutenant Retard (28 weeks)

>>211935692
My interpretation is that, since the wife is a carrier, the virus was incubating inside her for that entire time and potentially mutated into a different form, and this explains how the infected in the sequels are not as dumb

>>211935514
I didn't get that feeling at all, it was more like a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. If he stuck around he would have gotten infected or killed trying to save his wife and some random kid that literally showed up at his doorstep, as dangerous as it was to leave he at least ensured that he would have been able to meet up with his kids again. Plus he didn't immediately run, he did try to help everyone else until he realized that it was far too late.
Obviously it gets sort of grey when he omits the details about what happened to his kids, but in fairness it was safe to assume that there was no chance that she would have been able to survive the attack, let alone survive as a ragie carrier.

>>211935832
Sergeant Rape and the lads had such a comfy set up, a shame they had to ruin but I guess a bit of the old non-consensual in and out making the Oirishman snap and go from softboi twink to blood thirsty one man army wasn't easy to predict

>>211933014
It doesn't really make sense since why didn't they just nuke the UK also?

>>211935965
Kek I love 28 Days Later but I remember it being comical how the soldiers forced to two girls into pink dresses or some shit like that.

>>211936001
It would make sense if they didn't want to nuke it because they wanted to exploit it for natural resources or if they wanted to resettle there at some point. Because there is seriously only so much worthwhile research you can get out of watching that island for 28 straight years, there's no way they wouldn't have formed a rescue operation or a small settlement at some point. Even if they didn't want to nuke the island and risk contaminating some of the surrounding waters, there's no way they wouldn't have brought in some fire bombs or drone strikes to the area in the current year.

>>211936001
You as sure as shit aren't going to get everyone with the nukes and the nuclear fallout would fuck them over, plus the powers that be probably got enough flack from bleeding hearts for leaving the Britons to their fates and shoot anything that attempts to leave, let alone nuking them all

>>211936103
>we haven't had sex for 20 days, we must rape

Men don't do this on submarines, oil rigs or boats. Stupid premise... it might have worked better in 28 weeks later though.

>>211936171
>there's no way they wouldn't have formed a rescue operation or a small settlement at some point
Lol true, a modern frontier colonisation effort. That's a kino premise. Follow the restablishment of a city

>>211936171
It would have just worked better if the world was destroyed desu. No way would they spend 28 years later defending that island.
>>211936243
reverse colonization for the UK would have some irony

>>211936209
I think that did happen at one point actually with the USS Indianapolis. When the ship was going down and two groups of survivors were separated from each other, at least one group of men went crazy and tried raping some of their own on the life raft.

>>211936209
Civilization collapsed bro, who's gonna puish them? There is nobody left too unlike a submariner engaging in a bit forced rumpy pumpy

>>211936360
Would Cillian have been the one getting raped had David Lean directed 28 Days?

>>211936001
Nuclear fallout of that many nukes would cause serious issues for the global climate

>>211936001
compared to a single metropolis the UK is xbox hueg and would require several dozens if not hundreds of nukes to properly glass the population centers and all the other places the infected might gather at.
using one nuke is tough shit, but using many fucks up the atmosphere. radioactive fallout can travel thousands of miles, cause damage to other countries, fuck up their agriculture, make the population sick, etc.

>>211936506
>NOT THE HECKING CLIMATE NOOOOOOO!!!!!
kys you woke commie niggersucking faggot

>>211935680
That is not chivalry, and it never was.

Is this the director who has the most inexplicable retardation in his movies?

????

>>211936506
>>211936532
Might have been a better premise for 28 years later if the rage virus did spread everywhere and the characters ask why didn't they just nuke paris etc and some older guys say well people argued about it/protested it until it was too late.

I could easily see that happening in real life.

>>211936783
anon there's no point in arguing with shitkins

>>211924414 (OP)
This was what Destiny intended from the moment it entered the system...

>>211936607
yeah that's more like romanticism right?
those two often are used synonymously.
chivalry was originally a code of conduct focusing on horse mounted warriors, military bravery and dutiful service to the liege lord.
only later throughout the years did it gain a wider definition of piety, good manners, honorful behavior towards the general populace, etc. as well as being nice and romantic to one's wench

>>211937016
And I can guarantee you if said wench acted the way this guy's wife did the chivalrous thing would be to fucking kill her.

man, poor fucking kid never had a chance.
at least gay poots looks aesthetically pleasing

>>211936001
Honestly, with as virulent and infectious as Rage is, the fact they even considered reoccupying the UK without mandating that it get nuked at the first sign of trouble is beyond retarded.

>15,000 people in the parking garage
This is what happens when you let jarheads plan for quarantine control measures.

>>211934921
Yes someone has to take out the trash

>>211936825
There's a lot of things they could have done, even if they didn't want to go down the regular sequel route of 28 Months' "weaponized virus". Danny Boyle probably could have done it justice too, it's just a shame that Garland tends to fumble the ball with some decent premises.
I still think 28 Years Later would have done better as a TV series on a streaming platform, or as a launchpad for a multimedia series with comics and books filling in the gaps from the film. Because the world is interesting and there is a lot that could be done to explain what happened during that time.

>>211937371
DAS RITE!

>>211937408
>the world is interesting
It's really not.

>>211937408
a mini-series with 8-10 episodes and every 2-3 episodes are telling a mostly self-contained story that focuses on a specific set of characters at a time while others are mentioned/implied here and there.
maybe intertwine some of the seperate plot points towards the end, have some of the surviving characters meet in one way or another, have conflicts and shit.
i mean they probably are doing something like this but in form of films, the first one basically setting the stage and ending on a cliffhanger, with promises of the other two focusing on different elements of the world and plot

>>211937730
>have some of the surviving characters meet in one way or another, have conflicts and shit
Comic set up a tragedy about a guy who left a video for his wife that he was going to an island for safety while she left a sign on the public noticeboard that they would dance again in heaven.
They both survived and are met by Selina and Clint in London.
They got fucked by the janny.

>>211937408
Yeah 100% it would be better as a series. I don't know how 28 Days franchise missed the zombie/streaming craze of the 2010's. Could easily see it being a hit show on Netflix around like 2016.

>>211937809
creators got bogged down with other shit at the time and before they even realized there might be something, the walking dead got the ball rolling.
other book and comic franchises began flooding the market, attracting writers to those steadily growing products.
compared to that you had one notable flick from the early 2000s with its only gimmick being fast zombies, a follow-up that, while not utter shit, is still mediocre at best and a year spanning indecisiveness and preoccupation with other projects by the creators, a perfect recipe for the 28 days franchise to remain canned in the foreseeable future, until they eventually got around and got to plan the next part.
so the main problem is missing source content, had it been a comic or novel with rich lore it would very likely have been adapted by some studio and turned into a money printing machine.
then again there'd always be the risk they'd turn it into a pile of shit if boyle wouldn't be watching over it closely.

>>211938648
there's huge implications on how the world would've gone differently with ~68 million people being wiped out in almost an instant.
a notable world power at that time as well.
but it'd become more of an alternate history piece focusing on the pop-cultural and political dimensions of such a thing happening, when zombie media in any other case is primarily focused on personal fates of a bunch of colorful characters.
and i'm not sure anyone is ready or even able to portray something like this without making it too boring or too ridiculous on the other hand.

>Jeremy Renner being burnt to a crisp. Why? Because.
>The military shooting at a driving car. Clearly the infected are doing this.
I think a big issue with Weeks was that they were treated more like zombies, which is unsurprising given the zombie movies around this time. Days did a good job reminding you they were just fucked up humans.

>>211939174
It's hard to believe Russia and China wouldn't want it nuked or join in on the blockade.
