Fan theories about the Bone Temple were so much better than the reveal, like people who were saying it might be some death cult or even the infected themselves building it. But no, I guess it's Ralph Fiennes doing it all on his own with no help and no real trouble from the infected. Sure, why not.

It's stupid as hell and ruins what could've been some excellent world-building but no, just give it a simple, nonsensical explanation.

Thanks for your input. You can go back to playing fortnite now.

>>212119142 (OP)
It's fair that the imaginations of many outpace the director.
But let me ask you the real question, did it subvert your expectations?

The bone temple should've been some kind of show of display by another country.

It was fine. I hate fanboys so much

>>212119142 (OP)
You didn't enjoy having your expectations subverted?!

This movie was such a massive piece of shit there was literally 4-5 times my girlfriend who just look at eachother, shrug, and laugh at the contradictions and absurdities. When the """Alpha"""" was doing Mortal Kombat fatalities she literally had to hit me to make me stop laughing out loud

>>212119142 (OP)
The sequel should be about a massive bonfire that is kept burning constantly to create enough emissions that the UN have to respond and send gibbs for them to stop

this movie was legit kino I'm tired of pretending it wasn'

>>212120223
What's that gonna do? Whatever people there are written of by everyone, the UN and especially NATO. This world is fucked, there's plenty of more things to consider besides helping out a few thousand people trapped on rage island.

It did, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted a scarier movie.

Fiennes character was better than any faggot horrorslop consoomer "theory". This movie is so much better than jewlywood consoomer shit, so of course it pisses of goyslop retard faggots on this shithole. You american muttgroids should seriously all kill your worthless selves.

You people are stupid. How do you think stacked stone fences happen irl? Some zombies build 'em? A cult? Slaves?
No, bored men who need to demarcate their property and find something to do after daily chores are done.

I don't get it, Days wasn't bad but Weeks was complete garbage, and somehow everyone walked into this one with mile high expectations? It wasn't that bad, you just expected way more than this series has ever offered.

Where did he get all the iodine and morphine? He was a doctor working as a GP in a remote part of Scotland circa 2002.

>>212123341
The movie is kinda dumb, they're just splatting blood everywhere. There is no concern for how it transmits like in the previous movies.

Sequel idea: Multinational NATO force must insert onto Britain when they get word a group of survivors acquired a British nuclear warhead

>>212123055
How about the comically retarded idea thay Great Britain would remain abandoned for 25-28 years? It's impressive how little sense that makes. It's complete mindless slop. These sick humans are the least threatening monster in all of fiction and easily die just from exposure, thirst, and normal disease. As before, they'd all be dead in a few months and certainly from just sending a few troops with sniper rifles and a tall tower.

>>212123461
They said the alphas are more intelligent, but they didn’t do anything particularly intelligent. One of them ran directly towards a fortified boundary wall manned by archers who were actively shooting at him. All for the chance to kill a man and a boy?

>>212122832

Genuinely being retarded? Mega rabies that infects you in seconds and makes you an insane killing machine, that's pretty threatening.

>>212123558
Well you see, they can now reproduce sexually.

>>212123558
Silly fucking nigger are you volunteering to clean up Great Britain again? The infection is clearly still present in Britain and smaller communities are still being infected because millions of people have died and continue to die and spread infection

>>212123569
Way more intelligent that the regular mindless ones obviously. The Alpha has enough intelligent to display a head as a intimidating warning and a territorial marker. Like this is the first infected we can see thinking and having thought out intentions.

He also seemingly gets pissed off that his infected wife was murdered.

All people remember of the movie is the huge zombie penis lol bravo garland

>>212123913
Ripping off heads seemed to be his preferred way of killing things.

>>212123913
even the normal infected weren't entirely mindless. at the end, one of them ran right at Spike's cooked fish and didn't bother chasing him. and when Spike and his father were held up in the attic after killing several of them, i had the impression that the remaining infected were distraught in a way beyond blind rage

>>212124220
There’s also that crawler who mistook Spike’s shoelaces for worms, its most common food.

>>212124220
>>212124282
I forgot about the infected girl with those fat worm eaters that just looks at them and runs away, and also correct me if I'm wrong but there's a zoom in on her and she has normal non-red eyes? It's also weird the father just let her go like a hunter would a baby deer or something.

Strange scene I don't know what to make of it.

>>212123341

Not enough world building.

The Alpha male thing is completely retarded and they've basically turned the setting into a video game.
>Dude, normal zombies take 1 arrow but the Alpha boss dude has higher hit points and so you have to hit him a bunch of times
>Also he does fatalities
Also apparently the zombies are now straight up the better species since apparently the virus """acts as steroids"""" and their immune systems are impeccable.

>>212124431
the film was a bit of a fever dream so it's hard to know really. i would assume it's related to Spike's father saying that the infected have no souls. like you said, the slow low girl ran away which goes against that idea (along with several other moments)

>>212119142 (OP)
The world building was easily one of the better parts of the film, anything else would've honestly been too contrived for my liking, it makes perfect sense that humanity would make a monument in such a place; especially one as a memento mori in such a place, like what else would it of been?

>>212125177
The world building makes no sense. In one instance Spike and his Dad are cut off by infected their first day, even in the middle of the wilderness. Spike's second trip back and he has his mother shouting and babbling on a mountain top

>>212125243
Wasn't the son and dad hunting for them on the first day? Cause I imagine it'll be much easier to avoid them when you're not actively looking for them, besides I imagine the vast majority of the UK would be the wilderness by now due to it being 28 years of nature getting to reclaim what humanity left behind

>>212122832
The opening was fantastic agreed

this film managed to capture a certain feeling i've had all my life and i'm not sure how to handle it

>>212121111
I dont think people expected another 28 Weeks, it was easy to look at the teaser for 28 Years and get the impression that it was going to be a very different film. Its more that people were disappointed that the film didn't really live up to the hype of its initial trailer, or even the RAGELeaks viral marketing site.
What also screwed the film over, arguably just as much as Garland's script, was the fact that it was announced as the start of a trilogy. And when the last thing you see is JIMMY and his ragtag group of zombie killers, it's going to be an uphill battle to get people to stick around. They really should have condensed the best ideas to just one film, maybe two at most.

Teletubby Towers

>>212125116
I guess this is his "grounded" take on a left 4 dead/Last of Us type virus with different infected classes and whatnot

>>212127860
I mean he was apparently "inspired" by a bit of Resident Evil for 28 Days Later, at least now it feels like its coming full circle.

>>212119142 (OP)
So is there a reason why the world just decided to leave Britain quarantined? Not once have the militaries of the world ever considered intervening and wiping the infected out completely?

>>212128076
My best guess is they plan on out waiting the virus starving itself to death over nuking it and having to wait longer to reinhabit it

>>212128448
But the infected will never starve since they have a plentiful food supply in the form of deer and survivors will inevitably get infected as well. It only makes since to send in a well armed force to take them all out.

>>212119434
Sensible.

>>212128600
Maybe we'll get an actual explanation in the sequels (which I imagine are probably going to show what's happening outside of the UK)

>>212127441
That's exactly it! I really want to get alpha gaped!

>>212122886
I wish my cock was as big as the Alpha's cock.

>>212128076
No, there is no reason. It's a genuine plot hole.

The movie had clips from 28 weeks later, are we to assume it's canon then? Cause if it is that presents a lot of problems like where the fuck all these additional infected are coming from considering a premise of that movie was the infected starving. Whatever amount escaped the repopulation effort isn't gonna last 28 years or pose a threat

>>212119142 (OP)
The movie was good. It's hard to have a really favorable opinion about it, though, because of the Jimmy's. They were the most retarded thing I've seen on the screen in years.

>>212119434
>crazy loner with super-autismo
yeah, about those cliches

>>212128600
I mean do they know they can reproduce? cause I'm pretty sure they will starve in a hundred years if they can't, I imagine they wouldn't know that they can since the whole place is quarantine to begin with

>>212128857
Lmao you just reminded me of the birth scene, that shit was so corny and stupid

>>212123558
It’s actually based and kino. It’s a metaphor for Muslims overrunning Great Britain and even having them called alphas. Also proves that the rest of the world wouldn’t miss a beat with the absence of Great Britain. Based and checked!

>>212123074
>cgi does not exist in this world
what?

>>212128754
They evolved over time. They are shown hunting and eating instead of just beating people up.

>>212123341
Apparently there was at least a 28 year supply of the stuff in the area and it was not ransacked by any other survivors over the 2.8 decades.

I know right?! As if babies come out of a girl's butt. so corny!

>>212128754
The general idea, at least as far as Boyle and Garland are concerned is that it still happened. But they arent concerned about wrapping up any loose ends in terms of characters, or even explaining what happened to the infected on continent Europe beyond a vague "they drove the virus back to the UK". Frankly I wonder if they just forgot about it while they were working on Years and just gave the vague answer we have now.
Weeks being canon would frankly explain why the infected evolved "mentally" at least, considering there was one very smart stalker infected there. Maybe the virus coming from the carrier made it have less of an impact on the victim's survival instincts beyond only knowing how to tardrage, who the hell knows.

>>212128076
The only way it would make sense is that EU/USA scientists are baffled that the infected haven't died out over the course of nearly 30 years, and they have enough connection to some people in charge to prevent a complete and total firebombing of the UK to see how far it goes. Because it would make sense to not to nuke the UK out of fear of the blast contaminating the surrounding waters or to farm resources.

>>212125116
That paki alpha only took a bunch of arrows from the kid and he was able to perry 1 of the arrows with his hand, So I'm assuming that the draw weight on his bow was relatively low and it just didn't have the raw killing power to 1 shot him.

>>212119434
I thought it would've been kino, savage rageaholics rediscovering religion and their Pope being a knockoff Albert Wesker

>>212126406
Seek more sources that incur the feeling until you have sated the hunger. The west has no rites of passage any more, so study the past to vicariously get an idea.

>Trailer heavily implies that there's outside threats other than the infected
>Constant imagery showing that scary looking mask
>Turns out it's LITERALLY NOTHING and just a mask inside the settlement that has no meaning
I was expecting SOME conflict with outside survivor groups. I still like the movie, but the half with the kid and the mom really dragged. It also felt ridiculous that the kid hears that there's a doctor who is insane and thinks the doctor is some fucking magician who can cure anything and is willing to risk his and his moms life going to him.
I mean for fucks sake, the kid couldn't land a fucking shot on any of the moving infected, why does he suddenly have the confidence that he can protect his mom?

>>212123913
>Way more intelligent that the regular mindless ones obviously.
We really don't see it. The whole thing with ripping heads out just seemed to be the way it liked to kill people, and then he'd discard the head when bored.
I really would have liked some kind of display showing that they actually have intelligence. I was half expecting the alpha to show up at the house when they were hiding upstairs and it would figure out where they were

>>212130405
Who cares, they've made the infected OP now. They can run forever, never get sick or old, never starve, and now they have Alphas with buff power.. Except when they need to do exposition with the doctor, then they all fuck off and don't seem to care about giant fires or anything?

>>212123558
It's honestly funny how trivial killing the infected would be once the country has been quarantined
>Assign shifts of helicopters to just hover in different areas, and when the infected are drawn to the noise, pick them off with snipers because you're untouchable in the air and the infected are too stupid to know they can't get you
>Send in helicopters to different areas and make a shitload of noise while dropping poisoned food. We know the infected have to eat, and they'll gobble down poisoned food and die
>Just fucking bomb the shit out of the place
With how incredibly dangerous and infectious the disease is, it's not believable that every other country wouldn't just vote to nuke them

>>212129203
>Russia would not move in and set up shop
uh, have you seen Russia attempt to set up shop in Ukraine the last three years? What the fuck is Russia going to do against a NATO quarantine of the UK? Is their shitty navy gonna sail up the Channel like it's fucking D-Day? Ivan put the bottle down.

28 Weeks later is canon. That means canonically the Americans spent loads of money trying and fucked up leading to part of France getting fucked up too.
Its entirely plausible after that that everyone just says fuck it leave it alone

>>212130767
>The whole thing with ripping heads out just seemed to be the way it liked to kill people, and then he'd discard the head when bored.
It's an intentional threat/territorial display and is clearly a sign of some higher thinking than running around screaming and thrashing around.

Normies wanted a zombie movie, they didn't get a zombie movie.

>>212130863
>Except when they need to do exposition with the doctor, then they all fuck off and don't seem to care about giant fires or anything?
To be fair, they showed that the area the doctor is in has a strong flowing river around it, which he set up a rope bridge to help himself cross. So the implication is that the flowing water prevents most infected from reaching him.
What doesn't make sense is how he's all "everyone is meant to die" with his life philosophy, but then spares the alpha numerous times. I guess you could read into it and say he's lonely and likes watching him/considers it a friend because he's crazy, but that just means he somehow has an unlimited supply of morphine that he's just wasting whenever the alpha gets too close.

Honestly they should have just said he harvests some kind of hallucinagenic plant/berry instead of medical grade morphine.

>>212131203
Lmao I forgot about that part. He lets the Alpha be and then almost gets killed from it 20 mins later

>>212131178
>"So yeah we send in helicopter snipers and slowly pick off the population. It might take a few years, but it's a pretty safe and foolproof plan"
>WHY THE FUCK WOULD WE DO THIS? WE ALREADY HAVE BOATS PATROLLING THE ISLAND TO MAKE SURE INFECTED DON'T LEAVE
>"This is basically a better version of the boat plan that we're already doing because it also kills the infected"
>REEEEEEEEE
You're paying countless millions of dollars already just having boats patrol the island. Why the fuck wouldn't you use helicopter snipers to actually slowly kill them over time?

>>212131308
>This is basically a better version of the boat plan
The boat plan is a quarantine you retard, it's mostly passive, isn't nearly as expensive as an endless war on the infected, and is less risky, and more acceptable for NATO countries that obviously have their own problems. What you're describing is a pointless military operation that doesn't need to happen because the islands are already under a quarantine.

It's obvious this is the most the West and NATO could spend their political capital on without their paranoid and angry citizens going ballistic. Like why would you personally want your tax dollars going towards a 2nd liberation of the UK? Hello retard, can you imagine what the world looks like without the UK? What NATO looks like? What global stability looks like? The world we know right now isn't very stable and there aren't even rage infected crazies running around and almost collapsing Europe. What countries do you imagine agreeing to such an operation? Why? The only country that can realistically do this would be the United States, who knows what the fuck they're up to domestically or across the planet in this film?

>>212131510
>risky
There is no risk. And the helicopter plan doubles as a quarantine plan on top of reclaiming the land because it can find and prevent people from trying to escape via helicopters/planes that have been left behind and could be fixed up by people with enough time and knowledge

>muh realism
erry teim

>>212131685
There is inherently risk in a multitude of ways. Actually sit down and try using your thoughts and imagination: reclamation was already tried, it failed. Why would they try it a 2nd time? What incentive does the US have to try this again? lmao half the United States was calling their own President a traitor for sending Cold War scraps to Ukraine but I'm supposed to believe the US in the 28 world is this ultra-altruistic nation where the vast majority of Americans are going "yeah! let's spend billions of dollars across the planet to save crazy island because we're the good guys or whatever!"

The world sans UK is already basically in financial ruin, London is in the top 10 major financial centers on the globe. The second the rage virus was confirmed would already tank markets globally. Who the fuck is paying for this? I'm gonna keep asking why you think anyone would agree to this.

>>212131838
>There is inherently risk in a multitude of ways
>Hover helicopter above infected
>Shoot them
>Fly back for a refuel and do it all over again
Yeah you're right, it's risky because what if the helicopter gets hit by a meteor or randomly breaks and we lose FIVE DUDES, oh what a tragedy.
Yeah I'm sure that no one in the entire world has an interest in getting back the land and all it's natural resources

>>212132237
The US losing the control of the UK again is an event magnitudes worse than the Iraq War or the Fall of Kabul, how popular were those events domestically in the US again? Seriously it's like you're a jew trying to make an desperate argument for why the US should invade Iran, only sentiments would be worse.

>"No I'm not paying for that, look what happened the last time we tried this we got fucked and retreated and lost thousands of American lives, actually fuck the establishment and fuck Europe let those retards figure it out."

>Yeah you're right, it's risky because what if the helicopter gets hit by a meteor or randomly breaks and we lose FIVE DUDES, oh what a tragedy.

What if the helicopter breaks down and a carrier of the virus steals it and pilots it back to the mainland and reinfects Europe? There I just had a thought for you, you're welcome. What if a bunch of rogue soldiers decide to land their helicopter at Coulport and steal some nuclear warheads to sell on the black market? People are actually paid to think about these potentialities in real life, seems likely at least one person in a position of power had these thoughts in the 28 world.

also
>UK
>land
>natural resources

>>212132414
Also how stable is the NATO alliance now having arguably their 2nd member erased from existence? It's already in a more precarious position it ever has been, what would Russia and China be doing in the 28 world? Eyeing an unstable foe and biting off what they could chew. Some warships patrolling the UK seems cost-effective and politically agreeable.

>>212129122
They can hunt and eat all they want, the population that was infected and got away in 28 weeks later is still too small to be a threat in the present and they'd be old

>>212120873
>men
Men being the operative word. Not one man accomplishing what would've taken even a dozen men years without any heavy equipment. And of course the infected just let him do it without an alpha leading hordes of them to just tear it all down and him with it.

>>212119142 (OP)
I was very letdown by this film, even though I wasn't expecting much. Boyle has lost all his film making magic

>>212133594

>>212130013
>>212131099
The whole setting works better if weeks not only happened but the rest of the world fell as a result, or at least most of the Western world. If everyone just carried on like normal, it would make no sense for an island community to just be left in isolation like that. First because it would likely have turned into a militarized outpost to help enforce quarantine and second because it would've been a security risk otherwise given its proximity to the main isles.

>>212133721
The infected population was already dead by 28 weeks later, any humans left alive either know how to survive already or got rescued like Jim. The 28 weeks later infected can't possibly be finding all these new people incapable of surviving/killing them to infect

>>212137763

Why doesn't the military send in airdrops of aid and weapons? Dropping in huge crates of guns and ammo would be productive to the survivors reclaiming the land.

>>212138010
Riding around in boats is fun

Why dont they just send in waves of drones

The virus is so easy to contain. You could evacuate the islands non infected population fairly easily and then glass the place.

Didn't like the video game zombie types, felt like fucking last of us tedium

>>212138158
Did anyone else laugh out loud when the the infected zombie and the mom had a womyn moment and delivered the baby? Then the zombie said "time in!" and went back to being a zombie?

Can we agree that Erik was pretty based. Though idk why the 8 of them with automatic rifles couldn't move and shoot the dozen or so infected chasing them. I get they panicked but shit to just turn and run while they run you down is retarded.

>Jimmies are the Valkyrie
Bravo Garland, you wanker.

>>212119142 (OP)

The whole movie lacked proper motivations and progressions. It felt like a serious of clips the writer wanted to make.

Why does the cold open not relate or give backstory to the characters we're suppose to care about?

Why go to the mainland to kill infected and bring home no supplies when the risk is so high? What are stakes that would warrant that?

Why take your cognitively impaired mom back to the mainland for a "doctor" you've never met when you just nearly escaped death with your capable father moments before?

Why have no emotion to your mother being euthanized when you just abandoned your father and entire life back home to help keep her alive?

Why are soldiers wearing PPE with full auto guns getting picked off whilst men with bows and arrows are making quick work of non-alpha infected?

Why have the baby scene if the child is just going to get dumped back home when it's no longer convenient for the story?

Also, the rage virus had clear parameters before. It was basically just a virus that turned people rabid. Now it's evolving them into gigantic steriod men who can be shot with 10 arrows, turning into gigantic slug-like people, etc. In the first movies, the infected would deteriorate quickly, how is it possible for humans to wonder around 28 years in a forest and survive without proper brain function?

So much of this just didn't make sense to me, from an in-universe and story telling perspective, not even accounting for the ending.

I quite liked 28dl and thought 28wl was abysmal. Will I like 28yl?

>>212138158
Even then, Europoors somehow beat the virus out of Mainland Europe.
They could just literally just hunt the rest of the infected down in Britain with minimal losses. Literally just kill them all, finding the cure be damned

>>212138690
I think the only horror movie where the military was actually useful on screen was The Mist.
Now that subverted my expectations.

>>212138898
>Why does the cold open not relate or give backstory to the characters we're suppose to care about?
Gives context to the marvel tier sequelbait at the end
>Why go to the mainland to kill infected and bring home no supplies when the risk is so high? What are stakes that would warrant that?
Think its supposed to be a test for Spike so when they do go out properly he's not going to let anyone down.
>Why take your cognitively impaired mom back to the mainland for a "doctor" you've never met when you just nearly escaped death with your capable father moments before?
He's desperate and retarded
>Why have no emotion to your mother being euthanized when you just abandoned your father and entire life back home to help keep her alive?
Because Garland wanted to make some half assed memento mori point as if a kid brought up in this situation wouldn't be intimately acquainted with this fact
>Why are soldiers wearing PPE with full auto guns getting picked off whilst men with bows and arrows are making quick work of non-alpha infected?
In theory, they're more used to the infected but in practice they'd make light work of most of them. This is partially why they made the Alphas a thing. Otherwise even the bow and arrow presents would be able to seriously make a dent in the infected population after 28 years
>Why have the baby scene if the child is just going to get dumped back home when it's no longer convenient for the story?
Probably sequelbait. Some plebs are trying to make it part of a larger theme about compassion or life but it doesn't really work. You could remove it extremely easily.
>Also, the rage virus had clear parameters before...
Garland clearly played Last of Us and wanted to make some zombie classes. Also practically as I mentioned before there's no way that the infected would still be ascendent after nearly 3 decades if they remained like they did in the first film so some bollocks had to be cooked up to allow the sequel to exist

>>212139110
Thinking about it, it'd be so easy to bait them out. Niggas run miles after hearing the slightest loud noise or smelling some fish.

How many could there even be?

how much seethe will there be when in the next movie Jim and Selene appear at the end with their interracial child

>>212138072
They would still keep up the quarantine but just give the survivors on the island an actual chance at fighting off and clearing out the infected. I don't see how flying over the UK and dropping off crates of weapons all over the place would take much effort at all.

>>212119142 (OP)
You're right.

It's very disappointing It's just a creepy and cringe parody of cult rituals made by an atheist.

>>212139665
>dropping off supply
>telling survivors to go to one specific point
>using ABC weapons against naked angry men (where as carpet bombing did nothing)
>evacuating the remaining survivors
>clearing out Englund piece by piece over 30 years

Yet some idiot on here STILL pretends that it is IMPOSSIBLE to defeat the naked angry, unarmed men in the span of 30 fucking years. The delusion this movie brings with it is astonishing.
The govts in this world clearly do not want a solution to this problem, maybe they wait for the right time for a more wide spread, yet contained, infestation

>>212122832
It was worse in every way from Weeks' opening scene.

>>212131178
The US deployed bulldozers to charge Iraqi trenches in the Gulf War and bury entire battalions alive.
Somehow you think it's implausible to get the military to shoot not!zombies on a rainy island from a position of complete safety?

>>212125116
The Alpha could've been good if it was foreshadowed that he was one massive survivor from the island who went out and didn't come back, but apparently the virus just randomly roids out 1 in 1000 of the infected such that they're fairly common.

>>212139413
Probably around 100K. The infected are just hunter-gatherers and the native Bri"ish are apparently good at killing them with longbows.

>>212138010
It'd go against the interests of the plot.
Moreover, Battle Royales do that, and they already took too much inspiration off too much from The Last of Us.

>>212139881
I think the only copout they can use for this plothole is that the settlers are all carriers and the quarantine is for their sake.
Left 4 Dead 2 was entertaining that lore, they may as well take that idea too.

>>212139881
I don’t understand why Garland didn’t write it that the infection went global and that as far as everyone knew there were only pockets of human survivors left.

>>212123341

Why did they ruin the movie in the last 5 minutes with the madmax style chavs doing parkour?

Was it to remind the world that BRITAIN is a shithole?

>>212140599
they did it as well as they could have in Weeks, the only reason the virus broke containment is because Weeks is a shit movie and the plot demanded that everyone just let the virus escape

I don't understand why they retconned the last movie showing France and the continent getting overran. It just doesn't make sense that Britain has been allowed to fester and no one has tried to do anything about it. Kind of just makes it all dumber and lower stakes.

The scene where the swedish guy shows a pic of his bogged gf was legit hilarious

>>212141849
Spike’s point of reference being a shellfish allergy was great comedy.

>>212142246
well it wouls make sense considering the virus transmits via fluid to fluid contact

The film was great, despite its flaws. Way better than Weeks, not sure how to compare it to Days yet, as that is one of my favourite movies. Cinematography and camera work was all great and I enjoyed the worldbuilding. I love the fact that the rest of the world is still normal (having Erik make a reference to how ridiculous the name 'Alpha' sounds to a modern day Internet user was top notch). That contrast between those two worlds was one of my favourite part of Days aswell, which is another reason I didn't like Weeks. Main flaw was the Jimmy Saville cult, but maybe they'll execute it well. They're going for a sort of New Vegas Kings type thing, so I'm hoping it wont be done too sillyly.

>>212119142 (OP)
You can apply this logic to the entire movie

>>212143214
Either the next or the third movie is going to be Cillian Murphys Jim vs the Jimmys it's too kino not to happen. Likely going to be the third movie as set leaks said Cillian appears at the end of the next one.

My headcanon is that the excrutiating pain provides mental clarity to not be hostile to non-threats

How are the fat zombies even a thing?

An average earthworm has 0.07 calories. In order to meet even 2000 calories they would have to be eating nearly 30,000 earthworms every fucking day. That's not even considering the ridiculous amount of calories that would be spent earthworm hunting all day

The giant alpha zombies make a bit more sense since it's made clear there's a shitload of deer around, and the alpha zombies would be able to get plenty of calories/protein from them

>>212138679
Why on earth was that scene included? What did it provide? It felt like another idea they never ended up fleshing out or coming back to. I guess they wanted to show the mom wasn't totally useless? And the way Hollywood does that is by having her crush a guy's skull? Because they hate actual femininity?

>>212143717
I liked the birth scene and I like this explanation for it.

>>212143860
its supposed to be an anti-war poem. whats fucking them up? i guess poets really are sorcerors. all hail rudyard kipling

>>212143878
just a way to add tension for a bit, plus to show more of the compassion the mom and son have for eachother. made sense imo. made sense for her to forget it too considering she had dementiacanceraspergers

one of them explained it by saying that because it has no rhythm to it, hearing it blasted out on loop at full volume whilst you're malnourished can drive you a bit mad.

>>212143878
I still believe the original idea was to have the mother have Rage but only mild symptoms. I was waiting the whole movie for her to reveal a bite wound that she had gotten ages ago.

>>212144071
She got knocked up by the Alpha and had Spikey lad

>>212128787
He wasn't crazy, you ignorant islander.

>>212125116
It’s not retarded when you consider that the lab made virus which came from Apes maybe triggered some kinda DNA regression Neanderthal/proto-human gene expression kind of thing in certain hosts with genetic predispositions.
It’s a cooler concept than the gay heterochromia carrier shit from Weeks. One theory is that maybe some of those newborns have a chance of becoming alphas. I just hope the new one shows the Savile cult are actually somewhat responsible for impregnating the infected too or some mad depraved shit. This one was definitely toned back though with its age rating etc, the opening scene was nowhere near fucked up and gory enough imo.
I did appreciate the dreaminess however

>>212128076
>>212128736
If the comic is canon then it could be that there are vested interests in letting the virus evolve and monitoring the Alphas to see if they are viable as superhuman soldiers.

>>212144689
I've heard other people call the guys at the end Jimmy Savilles as well but to me they just remind me of regular gypsies, the kind that steal your plant pots and break your legs if you look at them the wrong way.

My brown friends are the ones who have been obsessed with 28d/w forever and are the ones who dragged me to see it. I wound up enjoying Years more than they did. It was refreshing to have a movie that's 99% white people, and it wasn't trash like Weeks.

>>212139886
Worse than perfection isn't really an insult.

>>212144051
it does have rhythm though. it should be read at the same rhythm as soldiers marching

>>212124220
>i had the impression that the remaining infected were distraught in a way beyond blind rage
I thought the implication from panning away from the infected on the bed and the screams were that they were having sex.

>>212144928
well if someone's blasting it through a megaphone, I don't think you get to control the pace at which its read. either way, it's not something I've experienced so I can't really argue for or against it.

>>212144928
it increases tempo subtly which makes it flow and crescendo more interestingly but probably makes it weird to march to.

>>212134216
>The infected population was already dead by 28 weeks later
Around southern England, yeah. They were still thriving and spreading in the north and Scotland.

>>212144071
Same, or some other evolution of the virus. Wasn't there a line at the start which implied it was not just Spike's mother but a few other women of the island?

They already string people up as bait for infected. They're definitely mad. I do hope we have less power-rangers flipping with them in the next installments,

someone post the webm of the power ranger dudes at the end of the movie

>>212144775
Considering Savile was from north England and based a lot of his depravity there, and that it’s where all of the movie is set, and all the other visual evidence, it’s pretty cut and dry. Savile was knighted by the queen and the character in weeks claims the Sir title. The jewellery, hair, tracksuits, couldn’t get more Savile. All the northern accents are exactly the same as Jimmy Saviles as well. If ur not British you wouldn’t pick up on it I suppose.
My guess is that Boyle and Garland are gonna explore how absolute deranged freaks would still exist and possibly even thrive in apocalyptic scenarios. Savile wasn’t just a pedo, he was a necrophiliac and rapist too. His victims ranged from 5-75

They want to present the idea that a predator is more trustworthy than a mindless monster in an apocalypse scenario, which is sadly true. They fought while others fled and froze

>>212145839

What was Holy Islands tax policy? What about their breeding program?

Should I still see this if I thought the first movie was mid at best and the second one was borderline unwatchable?

>>212145757
I think an element of how bizarre the introduction to the gang is was foreshadowed with Spikes red Power Ranger action figure he says goodbye to at the start of the film. And the tellytubbies before that. Some kinda childhood idealism and innocence thing. Boyles no stranger to showing things in an exaggerated way from certain characters perspectives too. The whole sequence at the end is fantastical with the gang doing acrobatics and fighting the infected in creative ways. Some kinda subtext I’m too lazy to fully articulate right now but it’s definitely present

>>212145883
Spike would have had his pick of the next women who were of age.

>>212145076
Lands end to john o'groats 874 miles. Running non stop at 17.8mph would take take 50 hours to cover that distance. Also the end of days where the jet flies over the starving infected is the lake district is it not? About the midway point between Cornwall and ne Scotland. The virus started in Cambridge city in East Anglia ,good starting point to spread rapidly across the mainland.

>>212144775
No way, gypsy's are tanned with slicked back black hair, the opposite of the jimmy gang. The garish gold jewellery is right though

they made a great profit at the box office with 28 years, i expect another sequel and a spinoff series with funkopops you will be able to buy

Did they really have to kill the mother immediately after the diagnoses? Somehow she was confused most of the time but then conscious enough to decide that she wanted her life ending immediately. The confusion just seemed to be convenient for the plot, like when she killed the zombie in the church ruins. Speaking of, that entire scene felt like a waste of time. Hardly anything happened in the film but it still took almost 2 hours to happen. When it got to the ending scene with the Jimmy Savilles I thought we were entering the 2nd half or something. Hopefully the exploration of the depraved, sick and twisted culture of torture killing the zombies pays off in the next film but it sucks that one of the highlights of the film is a teaser for the next film.

>>212143717
>>212143888
That's fucking retarded because A. the infected have already been shown shrugging off mass trauma and still going for their victims. (Ex. the fucking tortured zombie hanging upside down with a bag over his head is still permanently hostile) And B. it adds EVEN MORE Mcguffinness into the virus itself. This thing has evolved and changed so much that now suddenly ""pain"" can suppress it?

>>212143956
>plus to show more of the compassion the mom and son have for eachother.

>>212144689
>It’s not retarded when you consider that the lab made virus which came from Apes maybe triggered some kinda DNA regression Neanderthal/proto-human gene expression kind of thing in certain hosts with genetic predispositions.
No that definitely sounds fucking retarded and OP.
>The virus has evolved to where zombies can become alphas with gene regression and also their immune systems are impeccable and theyre also now smart enough to eat and forage so they can run and kill indefinitely to the point where military squads have no chance OH AND ALSO you can be immune and not show any symptoms and just carry it :^)

>>212149855
And how they offer the misbehaved children to the infected as sacrifices

>>212147143
With the major drop off in box office revenue during the film's second weekend, it'll be a miracle if they even complete the trilogy at this point. Moreso because Boyle won't be returning to direct Bone Temple, lord knows how much he was carrying Garland's awful script.

>>212150284
It's horrible. They're using taxpayer money to bloat the children up with candy, whom they then feed the infected to. Just like what Britain is doing IRL too

why take this movie seriously when it laughs in your face for doing so? That's what the last few minutes are doing: Making it explicit that this is a joke and you are a fool

>>212146043
>childhood idealism and innocence thing
It's literally a coming of age movie, which is also why the father figures fall short. It causes the kid to go out and leave the cave and its shadows behind for the real world.

>>212150351
The second film will definitely be worse. Gleeming from the 2nd films directors previous work, and the fact that, as far as I can see from one interview with Boyle, the tone will be more inline with last scene of the 1st film. Also theres a drop off in box office revenue? Surely that wont matter when streaming revenue comes in

>>212147964
There's definitely a parallel drawn between the mother who has flashes of screeching and flailing in the beginning, constant agony, memory loss, knows she's dying and helpless to manage the symptoms, and the infected. I think it's to show that if it's acceptable to put her out of her misery, there really isn't anything wrong with continuing to hunt the infected who are in much the same boat, but that intentions ought to be considered. Hunting them for sport, killing them in self defence, and mercy killing are all very different motivations, and his mother's decision to be euthanized with the doctor's explanation that she'll die regardless is very different from his dad blustering about how fun killing is just to help him get his first kill.

At times I was aggravated by how lax the venture with his mom was, but they weren't actively looking for infected. Someone called it dreamlike and I have ti agree, it's like a dream where you keep remembering you ought to be on edge because the danger could come back anytime, but you also know the boy is going to make it, so how dangerous can it be? There's time to sit and enjoy the scenery.

>>212144905
The whole marketing of this film was Boyle getting creative control of the franchise and his attempt at redeeming it after Weeks was given to another director. The fact that the opening is just a shittier version of Weeks' opening is just telling of how short he fell in fulfilling that attempt.

>>212150459
At least for the north american box office, it went from 30 million opening weekend to 9 million on its second week. I'm going to assume it'll be close enough to breaking even by the end of its theatrical run, but there's tons of factors to take into account. Like how much did Sony spend on advertising, because they went all out in Europe it seems, as well as how much of Part 1's budget is shared with Part 2.
I'm not sure how much they make from streaming either, so who knows when or if Sony greenlights a third film.

This, the second I found out they were planning a trilogy I already knew the script for Years was going to be a fucking mess at best, every plotline introduced goes fucking nowhere because that's just the nature of doing this stupid pre-planned sequel/trilogy shit and I'm just so goddamn confused as to why. Sure, people have been waiting for a 28 years for literal decades at this point, but not enough to get invested in an entire fucking franchise, are they out of their goddamn minds?

Anyway, even us soft-spoken sophisticated intellectuals all agree that Sinners >> 28 years later.

Cinemasins and MauLer have done irreparable damage to film criticism

>>212153980
Great, you liked it, good for you, if you want to claim it's actually a good film you need to do better than that, the other guy just gave a laundry list as to why it isn't, if you can't argue against said points either concede or shut the fuck up, because saying "well I liked it" doesn't mean shit to anyone but you, faggot. As it stands it's probably one of the most poorly written and disjointed piece of film I've seen since The Rise of Skywalker.

>>212155307
Prove it

>>212155556
Incredible that you avoided the points I actually made to create a shitposting strawman. Did you expect anyone to fall for that, or are you sincerely spasticated?

>>212155356
Years is entirely functional as a standalone film that resolves pretty much all of its thematic and story points. The only real sequel hook is the Saville Gang and they are basically a post-credits teaser.

>>212155556
Are you going to actually defend the movie with points that support the idea of it being a good film or are you just going to keep crying about e-celeb boogeymen like a little faggot?

>>212155622
>that resolves pretty much all of its thematic and story points
Such as?

>>212155594
>Wtf, the expedition outside the Island was pointless and accomplished nothing!!!
This is LITERALLY the point. It's a coming of age ritual to prove the masculine prowess of the men on the island, Jaime forces his son to go early for his OWN ego and nearly gets him killed in the process. That it was stupid and pointless is the explicit point being made by the film and that it escaped you is just demonstration that you are stupid and not capable of engaging with what is actually happening in the movie

>>212155622
>Saville Gang and they are basically a post-credits teaser.
They introduced the entire fucking movie from the POV of the Saville gang leader.
>they are basically a post-credits teaser.
How is this not a problem to you on the face of it? Stories in general shouldn't ever fucking sequel bait, if it has any of that shit in it then it fundamentally isn't standalone film. What the ever loving fuck are you talking about, this whole shitshow is designed from the ground up to be a franchise

>>212155702
It wasn't pointless though, they got a frisbee out of it

>>212138701
They even directly referenced Wagner's Ring Cycle in the film. Specifically from the song 'Entry of the Gods Into Valhalla': https://youtu.be/b80Jw8MuZxo?si=X9xMpek5qMFQz-PT&t=207


It's used in this song in the film: https://youtu.be/AKCS-2wA4mU?si=bruHumU6zHyYTma4

maybe you're onto something

>>212119434
Zombie movie also being a sequel slash reboot already a cliche nigga

>>212155739
I think you have some kind of chip on your shoulder about sequels existing at all because you have a bone to pick with the Marvel cinematic universe or star wars or something

I decided to watch the first 2 after watching 28 years later. I hear that months later is hated but outside of the extremely stupid decision to find the photo of the mother and kiss the woman under quarantine I thought the movie overall was good.

>>212155702
>this stupid character made stupid decisions because he's just stupid ok?
Just because something is realistic and reasonable that doesn't automatically make it an interesting or well thought out story, it's just a story about stupid people now.

>>212155840
I think you're just being a projecting faggot desperately trying to sidestep everything you just read instead of being a man and arguing against it directly. I accept your concession though, sorry I had to do that to you.

>>212155702
Coming of age rituals usually involve lads being sent out alone, not being constantly protected and backed up by their dad. Not to mention that they'd done the zombie killing in the woods with the crawlers really quick, it was done. There was no need for it to continue. It was badly written to have scenes that had no point in the narrative. There's no defence for that by saying "hurr durr the characters were intentionally stupid". Intentionally stupid people wouldn't survive that long, write it better to fit the context.

So that's one failed refutation down, want to try with the others?

>>212153929
Post it in the 28 Years Later Nitpick General, faggot

>If the characters aren't perfectly rational, logical intellectuals who make perfect decisions (like myself) then it's...LE BAD WRITING!!!

>>212119142 (OP)
I assumed that the infected had their own religion or something

>>212155840
>dude it does make sense it's a standalone movie!
>what the fuck are you talking about, we already knew months beforehand that there were sequels already in the works

Riveting.

Make me, cunt.

>>212155919
>you can either be a genius or literal retard there is no in between
If you want to keep playing this game where we quote people who don't exist to the point where we're just essentially arguing with ourselves please let me know so I can safely ignore you and stop wasting my time on your sorry stupid fucking ass.

>>212155908
>Coming of age rituals usually involve lads being sent out alone, not being constantly protected and backed up by their dad.
Wow, remember when the dad lies about his son's accomplishments for this very reason, that it's all performative and for clout in the village?

I hate to say "people who hate the movie are just stupid" but this thread alone shows several examples of people just being totally incapable of understanding what is even happening in the actual text of the film

>>212156039
Wow, it's almost as if he didn't need to actually go out far and risk their lives, he could just lie about it. Do you not think before you type?

>>212156039
The fact that you're harping on and still stuck on this one criticized aspect when the entire fucking second half of the movie is what most people are complaining about is very very telling. Not that anon, but everything you're talking about is fine, the second that infected lady gives birth the entire movies goes off the fucking rails but go ahead and keep ignoring that huge aspect. Keep focusing on that one point so you actually have some semblance of an argument against the idea that this movie is one of the most poorly written pieces of shit to come out in the last few years. No wonder Garland was practically blowing Neil Druckmann in that one interview, hacks flock together I suppose.

They obviously need resources from the mainland, they showed a shot of cut down trees to illustrate that. I thought that was obvious?

>>212156203
this was obviously a terrible flick. obviously not worth paying money to see

>>212156203
Exactly, it would've made much more sense to focus on that aspect. People in the village need resources, and the men that go on those dangerous supply runs are treated like heroes. THAT is where the coming of age aspect would've fit in, and gave a reasonable purpose as to why they leave. Then, when they push too far into regions they haven't raided yet (under the dad's orders), they can come across threats they aren't used to, and it gets the scavengers killed, with only the dad and son escaping. People pay for the dad's hubris with their lives, and he returns as a failure.

>been gone a week and people are still arguing about the initial trip into the mainland
I'm not surprised, it's the only thing defenders of this movie can argue against but anyone with a brain knows if that was the shittiest written part of the movie then maybe we actually would've gotten a good fucking film. Anyone arguing against or defending the whole initial trip into the mainland, fuck you, kill yourself, I hope you actually get cancer and fucking die. That is by far the least of this movie's fucking problems.

>>212153929
>went to the mainland to teach his son. Told him he would be out there scavenging “one” day. But that day he was just learning.
>only 2 kinds. Regular and Alpha. The fat mud ones are regular infected.
>deer nitpick

>The dad was right in the end. The mom was dying and there was no one that can save her. Of course she died. The whole trip was a pipe dream. The dad said so before they took off.
>the ending jimmy is the same jimmy at the beginning of the movie. It’s the same cross this time upside down. It’s part 1 of 2.
>everyone in this movie on the island is actually bad shit crazy. The only normal person in the movie was the Swedish guy. 28 years in a post apocalyptic setting made all these people insane. Especially the kid and Jimmy at the end.

Movie was good.

I think the discussion about the rationality of the coming of age ritual is missing the mark a bit. Both sides have a point. There’s nothing wrong with depicting that, but it’s also true that it’s a little alienating for the audience if main characters are just behaving irrationally. It would have been better to establish motivation for why the main character wants to undertake the coming of age ritual. I mean the character is even doing it several years younger than he’s supposed to. Why? He wouldn’t lose face if he didn’t do it. Is it to impress his father? Well, what’s his father’s motivation for it? There are, after all, rational motives behind superficially ‘irrational’ actions like going on a coming of age ritual that brings on psychological and social but not material benefit. But we don’t really get a sense of this in the film. IDK

Personally I'd like to know why they were building a mountain of chairs in that quebecois zombie movie Ravenous. wkuk reference maybe?

>>212155850
I didn't enjoy it as much, mainly because of some of the characters being a bit too dumb to move the plot forward, but glad you managed to enjoy it. It's still not an awful film; there's still good ideas there, but they fumbled the ball in the second half and they used shaky cam too much during the action scenes.

>>212156163
No one is able to tell me why the infected lady giving birth is bad

>>212156330
Just because a movie can reasonably explain why it was a pointless set up for sequel bait garbage, it doesn't make it good or interesting. Just because there's a reasonable explanation as to why this was a massive waste of time, I'm not any more fulfilled or satisfied at the end credits. What is with this mentality of "well, the movie knows it's a piece of shit, that means it's good!" like what the actual fuck is wrong with you? Most real life stories are boring nothing burgers, I might as well hear someone complain about the last flight they were on, fuck you man, this is not what good storytelling is, stop acting like it is just because you were satisfied with a belly full of dogshit.

>>212156392
It's out of nowhere and goes nowhere. If you want to bring up the planned sequel fucking save it, don't waste either of our times, if you think that's fine and equates to good storytelling then fine but to me, cheap lazy shit like that is absolutely unacceptable.

>>212156330
>went to the mainland to teach his son. Told him he would be out there scavenging “one” day. But that day he was just learning.
Yep, a retarded decision that no one who had survived that long would make.
>only 2 kinds. Regular and Alpha. The fat mud ones are regular infected.
No, the fat mud ones were called "Slow Lows", they were specifically different to normal infected in that they gorged on shit crawling on the ground. Didn't need any variants at all.
>deer nitpick
Not even slightly, they couldn't be bothered to use real deer so they used obvious and badly done CG deer.
>her bonding with the pregnant infected was generally insane. But my reasoning is her maternal instincts kicked in plus cancer dementia confused her and she didn’t care. She was just lucky the baby wasn’t infected.
The infected bonding back made no sense either.
>Doctor explains baby
He tries and fails to. He says some bullshit about the placenta, but the problem is that the rage virus is highly infectious, and there is no way that baby was going to develop and then delivered while getting absolutely zero bodily fluids on it from its infected mother.
>I liked the tearing the head off. It makes sense. It’s the fastest way for an alpha to kill a human. And I enjoyed the use of actual prosthetics instead of trash CGI.
One, even a goddamn bodybuilder couldn't tear a man's head and spinal column out, the implication of alphas being that superhuman is retarded. Two, the fastest way for any of them to kill a human is to just tear the throat out, more possible, but they did the head thing because Voldemort needed skulls. Three, a faster way to deal with a human is to literally spit in their face, they immediately get infected.
>infected should’ve had torn clothes. Especially some fast ones showing that they’re newer infected.
Yes, especially since any of the naked ones would've died after the first winter.

Run out of space, but good on you for trying.

>>212156333
It’s the working class man’s self actualisation, to become a legend, for your son to be a legend. It’s self aggrandising yourself. The masculine urge to be the captain of the rugby team or the youngest person to cross onto the mainland. The dad is pushing that onto his son. It’s the same reason why he embellishes it when he gets back to the island. It’s more for aesthetic than the actual rite. It’s being immortalised in the community

>>212156592
The RAGE is how our parents train us to hate the world and each other and no human is born with that hatred inherent to their character. I'm sorry if that interfered with your understanding of the Zombie lore or what the fuck ever

>>212156538
Forgot to tack this last bit on:
I already had this conversation with you faggots when The Killer came out. Stop this "it was bad on purpose!!" defense, seriously knock it the fuck off.

>>212156679
Ok neat, metaphorically speaking it works I suppose, admittedly I didn't gather that so you win that one, however narratively and practically speaking it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. See, good writing is balancing all three of these elements instead of foregoing the other two in favor of nonsensical bullshit only meant to be take metaphorically as an excuse for skimping on the other two, you sound like you really really enjoy Jordan Peele films.

>>212149746
>I don't think you know what gypsies are
pure scum. villains. fowl thieving odious beasts. violent savages. I know what gypsies are.

>>212156606
>deer
How would you get thousands upon thousands of real deer for a shot of post apocalyptic England? You can’t you have to cgi it. That’s generally a nitpick.
>variants
I agree it didn’t need variants but I’m assuming there’s only 2.
>Placenta
If it can happen to an HIV mom and a baby it can probably happen with the rage virus. Probably rare but like I said she was just lucky. Extremely lucky. The mom and son were lucky the whole movie. The bonding made no sense.
>Superhuman
He’s superhuman under the rage virus. He’s not thinking about spitting on someone. He would go for the neck like you said but if he’s superhuman like they make them out to be he would rip the head off.

I’m not trying to do anything I just have a different opinion and enjoyed the movie.

>>212156679
Bro, what are you talking about, can you even fucking read? How does this change the fact that it goes nowhere only to be left up to the ether of whatever sequel comes out in the next few years? My point isn't that is makes no sense my point is the plotline is introduced out of nowhere and never properly concluded for arbitrary sequelshit reasons.
