FACT: he did nothing wrong

>>212130955 (OP)
He should have died protecting the weak. A man doesn't run.

>>212130955 (OP)
Boomer mentality. Myself before my wife and kids.

>>212130955 (OP)
>he did nothing wrong
He snuck into a secure biohazard isolation room and made out with his infected wife; thus setting off a second infection that kills millions and leaves the UK almost-uninhabitable for the foreseeable future.

>>212131276
>singlehandedly destroys bongland

seems like he was in the right to me. his kids were the real shitheads.

he married a stupid bitch

I'm sorry to tell you this but
He did nothing wrong
It was no longer about your partner or marriage
28 days and 28 weeks have some of the most dangerous zombies made for Americans. random kid was a liability and a sign. They fucked it up and the wife choose to follow the kid. She was already slow and another liability if the needed to run so she was already dead the moment they didn't hide after letting the kid in.
28 shits later is a completely different film with gay zombies

>dumb wife brings home some random kid and gets followed by the zombies
>dumb wife decides to stay with random kid instead of running away
>if you try to help there's a 100% chance you'll die as well
dumb wife got what she deserved

>>212130955 (OP)
Whatever the case may be. That scene is solid kino. That score and the oppressive camera on Robert Carlyle's face with dozens zombies gunning after him. You 100% buy him absolutely bolting it with his life on the line

>When Don slams the door shut on Alice

28 Weeks Later has one of the best horror movie opening scenes ever and the rest of the movie is giant pile of shit. What a shame.

>>212131708
and all that without some iphones in some rig shots

why would he run away from the infected? is he dumb?

>>212130977
"Protecting" implies you'll be saving someone or something.

There was no saving them in that situation. The dumb lady decided to stay behind and save some random kid.

In that moment, the only thing you can count on to keep you alive is your self preservation instinct.

I'd rather lose out on a bit of masculinity if it meant not being bitten into by ravenous hordes.

>>212131391
>>212131391
Do his kids or their blood play any part in the new one?

> zero evidence whatsoever that if you get infected you retain your sanity under any circumstances.
> You have two kids who are still alive and outside the country.
> Film expects you to die to protect dumb wife (who also shares in the responsibility to stay alive to get back to kids) and stupider child who can't even lay low and hide from infected and instead runs like a fucking homing missile to the nearest occupied building and somehow knowing there are people inside.

That kid wanted them all to die it's an absolute certainty.

>>212131842
>lose out on a bit of masculinity
It's not masculine to kill yourself for no reason, especially when your real kids are still alive.

>>212131849
Not in the slightest. There's a subplot where a kid gets born from an infected who turns out not to be infected somehow but for all we know they're a carrier too so the moment it bites a nipple that's probably it for the holy island community.

every single woman in this movie made retarded decisions
>wife lets a kid who was obviously followed into the house
>blonde bitch gets too close to the least reinforced window and gets bitten
>sister leaves the safe zone
>scientist argues to keep the highly contagious carrier alive

>>212131935
The new one sounds so shit I'm never going to watch it, those webms of the end and all the talk of dicks flopping about sealed the deal.

>this woman who we know is infected but is somehow immune to the effects of the rage virus
>whatever just leave her in a room by herself with no guards or doctors around

>>212131948
Robert Carlyle leaving his wife is the only good decision in this entire film, including me watching that dogshit.

>>212132012
Ironically despite the shit bits there is some genuine good stuff in there as well, especially if you're a fan of classic b-movie horror films.

Overall better than the sequel but not as good as the original.

>>212132059
When infected Carlyle starts stalking the kids through the evacuation zone I burst out laughing.

>>212130955 (OP)
>>212131276
He brought the destruction of the Britain and that deserves a clap

> come and die with me and this strange child who has brought ruin upon this house, husband.
> Also if you don't do this that makes you the villain of this story rather than choosing to die like an hero.
Pfft lol.

>>212132059
I watched it yesterday in preparation to watch Years today. I actually couldn't believe how shit it was past that intro scene lmao, I had thought the film was unwatched kino on my list for years.
Can't wait for Jimmy Saville sequel kino

It's weird how little stuff Robert Carlyle has been in considering how great he is. Genuinely a fantastic actor.

>>212131770
Had to go watch the opening again. It's so fucking good. Absolutely perfect. Imagine having to watch Jeremy Renner's face after that

>>212132199
28 days -
> Infected are constant threat. Protagonists are constantly on the move trying to stay one step ahead. Threats can lurk around any corner.
> Characters only safe once they escape to remote enough location.

28 weeks -
> Threat largely dealt with. Protagonists introduced into a safe setting where danger has been completely removed from play.
> Literally nothing happens half the movie except character acting and depiction of a containment zone.

What the fuck were they thinking.

>>212132059
This, I turned it off during >>212132025 after the kino opening scene. Still have no idea about details, it's trash, and it's confirmed trash since even the new movie pretends it doesn't exist.

>>212131595
>gay zombies
updated for a modern audience. Representation is important

>>212130955 (OP)
When I was 10 me and Shawn and Matt were taunting a pitbull behind a fence and the pitbull somehow got under the fence and attacked Shawn and me and Matt ran while listening to Shawn screaming and getting mauled behind us. Shawn’s calf was detached from his leg and his arms were fucked up and he needed thousands of stitches but me and Matt didn’t have a scratch on us.

>that shot of the zombies running down the hill while Don is trying to get to the boat
KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>212132355
Shawn's dead, Christopher killed him.

>>212132378
> That one guy literally doing everything in his power to survive.
Deserved to live more than his bitch wife ever did.

>>212131849
No. But I think in the Years, in the first scene where they crossed the sea, I think they use the extermination scene from Weeks but I'm not sure

>>212131595
>>212132354
>see flaccid dick
>start thinking about anal sex
Americans

>>212130955 (OP)
>leaving his family to die
peak boomer, peak british

>>212131276
okay, but 28 weeks later is not canon

>>212132760
just his wife, the kids were alive somewhere else

>>212132694
i think it has more to do with the fact that modern men are basically all pussies who feel threatened by masculine imagery because of their own lack thereof
like what even is a man anymore? the most successful men in our societies are weird losers who wouldn't last a day in nature

>>212130977
He's not a man, he's a wolf, a lion. A man is a cuck.

>>212131948
>scientist argues to keep the highly contagious carrier alive
This one pisses me off the most. As soon as they know she's carrying there is no way in fucking hell they would have let her live. The first outbreak killed tens of millions of people.

>>212130955 (OP)
Amazing opening, way better than both movies

>>212132919
Kek, good one. Got a hearty laugh.

>>212130977
Let's say Don sacrificed himself. Would she make it to the ground floor? Would the kid make the dash to the boat? Coward or not, he took the path of least risk because otherwise his kids would've been orphans. He couldn't save them.

>>212131770
Nah fuck you the sniper scene was great.
>I GOT TWO FUCKERS ON ME! DOYLE! AAAHHHHH!!!!

>>212131849
This is why I didn't even bother with this film when i found out it had nothing to do with those two kids. It was the entire plot of the second film.

>>212130955 (OP)
He cried like a bitch when he should have been happy to be rid of that liability.

>>212131948
>>scientist argues to keep the highly contagious carrier alive
This makes sense though. They could've moved her to a laboratory off shore of in complete isolation where she wouldn't be a problem. It was smart of her superior officer to decide to just kill her then and there, but I don't blame the doctor for wanting to study to her blood. The idea of people being carriers of such a fucked up disease is pure science fiction. It would be a blessing from God if you found someone like this IRL during a deadly plague. It would speed up vaccine research by decades.

>>212133867
>It would speed up vaccine research by decades.
Or they could have killed her and burned the remains - rendering the need for a vaccine moot.

>>212133837
He obviously loved his wife.

>>212131770
Yep, watched for the first time, couldnt believe how shit it was

>>212133867
>The idea of people being carriers of such a fucked up disease is pure science fiction.
Kind of like the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" in real life.

>>212131276
That's on the military for not just posting zero guards for the first person in history to be infected but not raging out, but also giving a random janitor for a civilian housing area unfettered access to all military buildings.
I know it's a trope of horror & especially zombie movies, but goddamn the movie was filled with SO MUCH stuff like that that simply made zero sense on any level. Every single instance of plot progression was contingent on it

>>212130955 (OP)
FACT: he did nothing wrong

>>212134033
you just, but it's true anon. some Europeans are immune to HIV because they descend from survivors of the black plague. consider how small that genetic bottleneck of a single lineage is compared to the death toll across the entire continent.

>>212134207
I think we both know the covid death toll was highly inflated as was its threat to the general population.

>>212134307
Im talking about real plagues, not scamdemics engineered to shuffle money upwards

>white wife
women mad, men happy

>asian wife
men mad, women happy

>black wife
both men an women happy

>>212134125
It's frustrating because you could probably fix a lot of the problems with the movie with a few changes
ex.
>Keep the opening the same
>Don tells kids the truth, they hate his guts for it
>Takes the kids to their old house in an attempt to try and mend things, but instead the family and their escort discover Alice
>Don is the one who pleads for Stone and Scarlet to keep Alice alive and help her if possible
>Scarlet is overconfident and doesn't take sufficient precautions, gets infected accidentally and kills Alice
>Scarlet sets off the new outbreak
>The next hour is Don and Doyle trying to get the kids out of London, constantly struggling to stay one step ahead of the infected and the military's attempts to contain the new outbreak
>Movie ends with a callback to the opening - the kids are cornered and Don has a chance to choose between helping them against probably-hopeless odds or saving himself, but this time chooses to help and holds off the infected long enough for his children to get away and survive while redeeming himself in their eyes and his.

>>212134155
28 days without sex during an apocalypse... can you imagine?

>>212130977
Like I’d give a fuck about honor in a fallen society. Those concepts only exist when the goings good. In a zombie apocalypse survive or die, everything else is bullshit faux masculinity

>>212130977
If I were his wife I would want him to escape and survive so he could reunite with our children. I'd also want him to stay out of my quarantine room for the same reason

>>212130955 (OP)
Of course, aside from the fact that he was a fucking coward. He made a lot of mistakes.

>>212135429
I dont think she was aware she was a carrier.

>>212130955 (OP)
He glassed that lassie and started a fight though...

>>212135460
It's not cowardly to run when there's no chance of winning.

>>212131836
yeah he should have dropped his pants and spread his arse cheeks at them as a warning to stay back

>>212130955 (OP)

I liked the part where they fire-bombed London

>>212130955 (OP)
>Dark brown hair
>Dark brown eyes
He is subhuman

>>212130955 (OP)
He used his wife and child as bait for the zombies so that he could escape by himself.

>>212139421
That's not what happened at all.

>>212131770
It used to confuse me as I saw the opening scene online before I saw the rest and I was like how can anyone film with an opening like THAT be so hated? Somehow they managed it

>>212130955 (OP)
What a great opening this film had.
I always remember this when I see this scene, I'm not exaggerating, a woman near me in the cinema fell out of her chair from the jump scare when the first zombie breaks through.
Like one of those goats that falls over
