Expectations were just too high after the twenty eight years of waiting for a sequel.

Because, honestly, it’s a terrible movie.

Most of TWD mogs the shit out of it, and TWD is just a fucking lowly tv show.

>>212300492 (OP)
fans wanted 29 Weeks Later to see France get swarmed and destroyed

It was too disjointed. Why leave the island with him when he's so young? The Jimmy saville gang. The big guys dick. Random Swedish guys all killes. Mother has a brain tumour, so lets kill her and deflesh her head. Much of it had you wondering if it was real or a dream sequence.
It was a mess.

The movie felt pretty fresh if i'm being honest. Loved the different types of Zombies and they actually felt kind of spooky: The swedecuck comedic relief and baby being born thing was the worst thing about the movie for me.

It's a bad film where the writing for the plot and logic takes a backseat for MUH THEMES or even certain contrived scenes they think would be cool/interesting. Characters act retarded in this film for the sake of the writer trying to make a point. A good writer would have managed to weave plot and theme together.

>>212301289
Idiots like this think MUH THEME justifies the absolute nonsense on screen. There are better ways to have your character go through a coming of age moment than have him suddenly change personality for no reason. The kid goes from risking his life to save his mother to "Oh, you drugged me and just killed her, cool. Yeah, I'll take her skull and place it in your weird temple, sure". The idea too that there the mother doesn't want to spend any time talking to him about what's about to happen is absurd when, despite being terminally ill, she clearly has time.

>>212300492 (OP)
Alex Garland is an absolutely terrible writer than deserves nothing but ridicule for his work, but Danny Boyle is fun so I'm inclined to like it.

>>212302294
Boyle really carried the film with how he got some really great performances from the cast, to the point where its hard to get excited for Bone Temple because someone else is directing it.

Here's my small brain take on the film:

The whole film is from the through the lens of Spike (a child.) And so a lot of the scenes are exaggerated/warped due to his more childish perspective. So things like the Alphas aren't as big as they're depicted in the film. That's just how Spike sees them (as everything seems bigger when you're a child.) And when Jimmy shows up at the end and him and his gang kill that group of infected with power rangers choreography, that's just how Spike perceived it. He perceives it in a 'cooler' way than it actually happened (and he thinks power rangers are cool.)

Feel free to rip my take apart.

>>212301051

I want a “28 Hours Before” with the lead up to zero hour and the initial horrifying outbreak.

>>212302341
>its hard to get excited for Bone Temple because someone else is directing it
The sheboon that directed The Marvels and racebait garbage??

>>212303049
Or... the director is just a brainrotten leftoid faggot who made a shitty "subversive" brexit analogy propaganda flic.

>>212303629
I think that falls more on Garland's script than it does Boyle's direction. If anything he probably elevated far more than it otherwise would have.

>>212300492 (OP)
They watched the movie because they were expecting some sort of imaginary violent allegory about modernity, like the first films, where zombies are stand-ins for the dehumanized urbanized masses that surround them, the main character of their own lives who is "above it all" and "different" from the rest of the plebs. They wanted a fantasy in which they could fantasize about killing all the other rats in the race. They desire such fantasies because they hate modernity and deeply wish for an escape. But 28 Years Later instead showed what post-modern, non-urban world could be. A world filled with tight-knight community and customs and rituals that only make sense to its own members. People who hate this a spiritually void modernists like Erik. They hated it because they are incapable of understanding it.

>>212300492 (OP)
Brainlet take. 28 years later wasn’t an allegory for Brexit; it was a love letter to the UK.

>>212304223
Certified kino.

The film is a masterpiece in subversion.
Oh you wanted Spike’s father to chase after him and find him in the wilderness Disney style, then eventually get rescued by Spike? No.
You wanted Spike to go “NOOOOOOOOOO” and run away from the Doctor after he’s told his mother will die, only to eventually confont/kill the Doctor because he’s an evil pagan who piles boned up and that’s icky? No.
You wanted Spike to eventually go into the wilderness and be a badass who’s super cool and independent to complete the coming of age trope? No, he’s picked up by a grooming gang.

>>212303049
I wish my brain was this small. Honestly this makes a lot of what was kind of shitty about the movie more forgivable. It felt like they were setting up a mad max zombie land in england minus cars but then didn't do anything interesting with any of that. The JIMMY foreshadowing and then pay off was kind of fun I had no complaints about the breakdance fighting rage zombies. I wish they showed more enclaves and survivors that would have been fun for the worldbuilding but it really was Spikes story in this post quarantine world.

I really was hoping the quarantine would be a twist that all europe was infected and the patrols were dumping confirmed new cases or something even like the swedes could have told more about outside the quarantine but based on the phone photos it was all the same gay ass world with only england having rage zombie stuff.

I liked it overall, but it was annoying that the first half with aaron taylor johnson is a 10/10 then the 2nd is like a 5

also ending was actually good I thought lol

It was shitty

>>212304444
None of those make interesting stories, though.
We’ve seen a thousand stories about a worldwide zombie virus. We’ve seen a literal 11 season and multi spinoff TV show about outposts and survivor stories in a post apocalyptic zombie world. We’ve seen Mad Max. We don’t need Mad Max - England.

>>212304641
that's true, but I still would have preferred that to what we got. I've never watched the walking dead because that shit always felt like a gay dollar store version of dawn of the dead remake. These guys are clearly capable of making interesting scenarios but I feel like they were offered a paycheck they didn't want to just walk away from and made what they could. I could never recommend it or defend it but I kept seeing things that could have led to something more interesting that ultimately led no where.

>>212304641
This. They're doing something new instead of rehashing the same generic slop again.

>>212304938

>>212304819
I think what disappoints fans of the zombie apocalypse genre is that In your traditional zombie story like TWD you get to turn to your girlfriend and go ‘woah babe… what would *YOU* do if that was us?’ because that’s where the horror comes from; you self insert.

In 28 years later you’ve been inserted as Erik. You come to an island of primitives, you have no conceptualisation of their culture or customs and the world you’ve been air dropped into is completely indifferent to your existence.
If this film takes inspiration thematically from anything then it’s North Sentinel Island and the bizaro fascination people online have with that place/the power fantassies of fighting them all off with guns or converting them to our way of life.

>>212304998
uhh anon? something you wanna tell us?

>>212305196
>In 28 years later you’ve been inserted as Erik.
this is the most ridiculous claim I've seen so far. He was in what like 8-12 minutes of the movie? I was hoping that the seal team alpha nato jobbers would have lore dumped some interesting tidbit but it turns out the rest of the world is still gay and dumb because we see his thirst trap girlfriend on his phone. Spike was the eyes we saw the world through and it's the best way to interpret everything going on. I still wish something more happened with the doctor. Like some explanation of why he had all the dressed bodies all lined up before burning them.

>>212301016
>says nothing, adds it to bone tower
show don't tell bitch
a movie for adults

>>212305196
of course, non-retards can self-insert into any well-written character.

you were clearly meant to empathize with Ilsa, for example, because her whole monologue about the Angel of the North was a direct statement to the audience about how the modern world relates to the idea of the far future and the distant path.

but most people just aren't equiped to do anything that complicated, so we get more Jurassic World movies.

>>212305372
Why were you hoping the world would be any different? As we type on this platform there are entire regions of the world under effective quarantine just like Britain in 28 years later. Do you give a shit? No, so why would the world of 28 years later fundamentally change its character because Britain got the Gaza treatment?
Lore dumping from the space marines would have been boring. we learn enough from Erik’s brief encounter that it’s fundamentally the same as our own.

>>21230464
We’ve seen 1000 coming of age romance stories as well, doesn’t make a well written, well directed one any less interesting.
Your take is actually what is driving society into the ground

>>212305629
And you’ll get thousands more. The Walking Dead has 19 seasons including its spinoffs for your to gorge yourself on some simple power fantasy zombie survival slop.
This film wasn’t made for you, and that’s okay.

>>212303209
I want a "28 Months Before" that is just normal London

>>212305713
The issue is the Walking Dead has dog shit writing intended to entrap retards into a drama that goes nowhere.

You’ve missed the point: the concept isn't the issue, it’s the actual execution. You can’t cheat code your way around genuine creative talent and the writers and directors clearly lack that

>>212305796
The Walking Dead is quite literally exactly what you want - a zombie horror survival flick.

The execution of 28 Days Later is that it sees you, anon, as the typical zombie movie horror lover and it takes a shit on you becasue what you want/expect to happen doesn’t happen. It’s the cinematic equivelent of tough love. Danny Boyle knows how bad you want Spike to have the same coming of age story you imagined in your head but he doesn’t. I think this is what creates such a visceral rage amongst certain viewers because it turns out the story wasn’t under your control at all.

>>212300492 (OP)
Why the fuck was the ending so much like Marvel?

>>212305900
>what if I made a movie that sucks dog shit and claim that’s an intellectual victory
>you’ve tried a decent burger, what if I gave you a shit burger, pretty fresh take no?
Again, this the exact same line of thought that is driving all of human civilization into the dirt. If you cannot make something great, don’t pretend novelty and “message” is somehow an escape from your sub mediocrity

>>212305796
anon Alex Garland is the reason that zombie stories are still being told.
you just weren't interested in the creativity that was on offer, that's all.

>>212305942
It’s an on the nose allusion to the fact that spike’s been picked up by a grooming gang. That’s why they’re all dressed like Jimmy Saville.

>>212305999
except that LOTR is literally Wagner with the tropes moved around. Hamlet is Shakespeare going "what if I took the mad prince in the Hamlet story seriously?". you are a brainlet who writes aggressively on the internet to convince yourself that your narrowness of taste is discernment.

>>212300492 (OP)
>Why are fans hating on this movie?

"Fans" are retards. If you look at the alternative ideas fans suggest, none of them have any kind of emotional core and are just an excuse to expand "lore" for the sake of it

>>212305999
Once again, if you wanted more of the same then it’s out there week on week broadcast on AMC for the past decade.

You sound a lot like the people who went into Saltburn expecting a charming gay romance set in the early 00s, only to come out viscerally upset at the movie for everything that made it great.

>>212305942
It's unfortunately a reminder that it isn't really a standalone film but the first in a new "trilogy". Even if it were just a simple two-parter it would have been an odd choice to end a pretty serious and emotional third act with.

>>212306410
people whine about Marvel because they don't plan ahead enough.
now we have a trilogy that is already written out in advance, and people are whining that the first part isn't conclusive enough.
the lesson is that people are whining cunts.

>>212306543
I liked the film up until the end where the Jimmy gang showed up anon. If it cut out a few seconds earlier, and it was just Jimmy watching from a distance or firing an arrow and saying
>Wanna join my gang kid?
to Spike, that would have been the perfect way of ending the first chapter of this series of films. But the ending starting with clown music and transitioning to metal was such a jarring case of tonal whiplash.

>>212306747
the whole final scene is really the start of the next movie so it's a very random thing to take issue with.
either the Jimmy gang will work in the next film and you will revealed as easily triggered, or it won't but for reasons that are unrelated to this scene in itself.

>starting with clown music and transitioning to metal
the clown music was from the teletubbies, so it was set up from the start of the movie.

Im a fan of the first two and really enjoyed this one. The cinematography was topnotch, color palette was vibrant, interesting characters and story that kept you wonder whats going to happen next. That ending was an interesting payoff if you paid attention to all the forshadowing. Also i didnt see it as a jimmy saville parody and more a teletubbies intro like what we say in the first scene.

Also the fact we got UK actors to play people from the UK was refreshing.

>>212306747
>Jimmy should have been more conventionally "cool"

no, you're a fucking idiot who can't cope with anything even slightly unconventional.
if you had been born in Afghanistan you'd be really autistic about verses of the Quran and all the Taliban would be like "what is this guy's fucking problem? in the name of the prophet I hope his wife miscarries".

>>212300492 (OP)
>"You may run North Jersey but you don't run your Uncle Jun"

>>212306747
I kinda mentioned it already earlier in the thread but that scene (and the whole film) is from Spike's childish perspective. We know Spike likes power rangers since he has a toy of one and so that fight was filmed very much in the style of power rangers because that's what Spike thinks is cool and he projects his idea of cool onto Jimmy and gang. Basically the entire film is through the warped perspective of Spike, that scene was just the most obvious case.

>>212303263
For fuck sake, they could have chosen literally ANYONE to direct it and they went for a woman who made some shitty Marvel slop. Is there something they see in her that we don't or is it nepotism? I would love to be wrong but my gut tells me Bone Temple will be ass.

>you can't have a wacky fight scene at the end of your zombie flick because....... LOOK YOU JUST CAN'T OKAY

>>212305796
>the concept isn't the issue, it’s the actual execution

Explain what you mean by this - oh wait, you can't. You wanted a zombie flick with a high production budget, Boyle and Garland had different ideas. Just accept it's not for you.

Things I liked

>virus still isolated to the British Islam’s five sit a unique feeling compared to the standard post apocalypse settings, especially since the modern world is all around it keeping up a quarantine
>the idea of settlements reverting back socially decades because feminism and liberalism and whatever else is a dead ideology in an actual harsh environment
>strains of infected
>story takes on a fantasy style element, young warrior doing a quest in a ruined land to save his mother, ruins and monsters around, literally using bows and arrows

Things I disliked

>removing Aaron Taylor Johnson from most of the story when he was the most compelling character and had a lot more to explore in his relationship with his son and wife. Whether they reconciled or didn’t
>focusing on weird message heavy things like the infected giving birth to a non infected baby (the babies don’t know heckin racism or hate you guys), and the mom helping the infected woman and her letting her help
>the fat rotting zombies that just eat worms was stupid
>the jimmies thing was just funny and felt like a YouTube poop

One thing I adored about the movie was that it didn't shy away from having lots of colour and vibrancy, especially in a nature setting.

>>212303209
They could make several very easy generic zombie movies like that
>28 Seconds Later
>the movie cuts from a completely black silent intro screen with "28 Seconds Later..." to the lab scene on full volume, the infected dispatching the last people within the lab, and their eventual outbreak from the facility
>28 Minutes Later
>made a bit later, just focus on whichever character who appears in 28 Seconds Later, boom fans will love it for tying in with the other movie
>28 Hours Later
>exact same thing, maybe make it a sequel to 28 Minutes Later and feature characters from the prior 2 movies

>>212310222
Meant British isles not British Islam lol, oh well same thing

>>212304556
I really like that there are random elements like a doctor gone mad who just lives in some degree of symbiosis with his surroundings and a gang of people dressed up as Jimmy S roaming.
What makes the doctor good and the gang worse is that the doctor behaves realistically. of course he uses sedatives to get around and survive. the gang on the other hand does dangerous unpredictable flips and shit instead of effectively and safely dispatching the infected. unless their gang previously featured like 50 more people who have all died due to their reckless ways I am not buying the acrobatics.

>>212309415
I grimace-smirked at that, truly haven't seen something that blatant ironically anti-christian since the 2000s

Also why did the priest father want him to live if he believed it was the endtimes and the coming of the infected was a good thing?
>no son this is great we're being saved from this plane!
>by the way take my cross and carry it always, i'll lead them away!

>>212310222
I agree with you, blessed keeper of trips, but those wormeaters weren't fat, they were extremely bloated. (was my understanding anyhow, since fat would make no sense without food)
the jimmies thing is fine to me and feels like it could happen in a postapocalypse, but their dispatching was over the top and ended the movie on a silly tone.

>>212303049
i have a theory about what happened and it actually makes perfect sense

garland was sitting there writing the script, about a dad and son embarking on a quest to train the boy and maybe meet a doctor to look at the mom, simple premise.

garland asked his wife to take a look at the script.

his wife walks in, takes a gander at the scripts tells him:
>its an okay script, ally, but ill tell you whats missing. i think they should leave the capable toxic father behind, because his just a cheating asshole like all men, and the son and mother should go out on their own and hmmmm how about his, how about the mom, despite being a crazed cluster B nutjob riddled with brain cancer, about half way through the movie, goes full yas queen to help another female zombie and then a giant jason momoa-looking zombie with a giant dick - which we will show, we will show this giant jason momoa penis a lot - chases her because the giant penised jason momoa zombie might look like an enraged psychopath but actually hes a loving father unlike that PIECE OF SHIT white man back at the house who cheated on me.......i mean her. i mean cheated on the mom. put that in!

and then alex garland proceeded to re-write half the movie

>>212300492 (OP)
I literally cried during the mom scene. I won't apologize. Ending is total dogshit tho

The fucking Budgens scene in 28 Days Later held more emotional weight than the majority of 28 Years Later.

>>212310222
>removing Aaron Taylor Johnson from most of the story when he was the most compelling character and had a lot more to explore in his relationship with his son and wife

Spike had outgrown his hometown. Everything about it rang fake.

Your dad, the badass adventurer? jk he's scared shitless.
The stories they tell at parties? Lies.
You loving family? Your dad's waiting on your mum to die and already cheating on her.
You can go out young because you're ready? Nah your dad almost got you killed because he has no idea how to connect to you and wants to pretend you're an action movie hero, like he does with himself.

Most fundamentally, Spike had questions and the hometown had no answers beyond "shut up we don't talk about that". The movie had to outgrow the island.

I think the deer were just in the boy's dream, once they get outside there are no deer or noise. I understood that as the house simply collapsing due to being old.

I did hate the part with the pregnancy and baby though, you do not want a soft thing you have to carry softly that could shriek at any moment and attract the infected.

This is an occult film; it's filled with alchemical, kabbalistic, and messianic references. It's also predictive programming. The skull temple scenes with the doctor, and the mother getting killed were physically revolting, absolutely sickening.

The director, Dan Boyle, is a """spiritual atheist""" (aka, a kabbalist).

>>212300492 (OP)
I'm willing to bet the only people saying this was good were actually too young to have seen 28 Days Later when it first came out, and probably see it as too outdated to enjoy.

>>212312950
We know what happened 28 weeks later already, we know what would happen 28 months later... lots of skeletal remains laying about.

Viruses mutate, but not to the point of giving superpowers. There's nothing interesting about it, what made the first two interesting was seeing how people tried to cope with an apocalypse where everyone was a bloodthirsty killer. This one swapped that out for a shit film where a kid wanders about with his idiot parents one after the other trying to avoid unimposing mutants.

The standard zombie horror is completely tapped out, you wanted another movie about escaping from ragers? Then just go watch the other two movies again. I did this week. Kind of stupid.

>>212313257
>The rage virus was already superpowery, smashing through any blockades when in reality a locked door would just work
No, it wasn't. Infected were only capable of doing what people are capable of doing. It didn't make them superhuman.
>Maybe you hate the mad max series, or the fantasy genre, but kid wandering around encountering bizarre stuff in a weird hellscape is very interesting
Completely irrelevant, the point is that the third instalment of a series has retconned the interesting parts of the previous ones.

Lucky that this franchise never was standard zombie horror, then.

>>212312971
>This is an occult film
you fags love saying stuff like this and then proceed to explain absolutely nothing about what makes it so occult

I really hate it when a movie comes out and it's not advertised that's it's going to be a multi part series. Dunc did that and it really pissed me off when "Part 1" showed up on the screen when it wasn't advertised as that.

>>212313579
Humiliation of Brits, obviously

>>212311076
28 Days Later with the budget of $5 and some sandwiches managed to be more iconic and fresh than this. That movie revitalized the zombie genre and was great. This is a sloppy mess of a film. 28 Years Later is nonsensical slop. The opening scene was great and the rest was retarded. But whereas 28 Weeks later also had a great opening scene and then got retarded, 28 Weeks at least kept the pacing up and had some good outbreak scenes. This was just mostly boring and up its own ass.

>>212314085
It was widely known before it released that 28 Years Later was part 1 of a trilogy

>>212314085
This was always trilogy bait. And they knew this was gonna be shit hence why they saved Cilian for the sequel. They needed a hook after this shit dropped or they knew nobody was coming back.

>>212314333
>widely known
I think you overestimate just how niche our hobby is. The majority of people I've spoken to didn't even know there was a film, let alone a trilogy of them being made. If there isn't a "part 1" in the title, normies will literally not know that it is.

>>212314430
*underestimate
Fuck it, I'm going to bed.

>>212314321
28 Years opening scene could have been iconic with the teletubbies and the kids but its ruined with the priest being so cartoonishly retarded.

>>212314471
Yeah, you could definitely tell he was trying to capture that same magic the opening to 28 Weeks Later had, but it just came off as camp. Even him running through the house felt like one of those overrated scenes in other films and TV where they go "look, it was all done in one take, that makes it good!", it just felt forced.

>>212314387
If anything Cillian Murphy coming back sounds awful.

>>212310854
I won't hold that against you tbdesu. The main concerning part though is just the bizarre shift in tone that they're promising for the follow up. It might be even worse because the director for Bone Temple said something like "not wanting to make a Danny Boyle film", and with her recent track record that doesn't inspire confidence. Especially because again, Garland's recent scriptwriting output hasn't been great for a while.

>>212314602
>If anything Cillian Murphy coming back sounds awful
At least he's a good actor. I'd hate to see him in what's bound to be a shit series like this, but he can't possibly be more of a charisma vacuum than this cast we just saw. I didn't know a zombie movie could be so boring but they managed it.

>>212310245
that's kino

28 Days Later is the greatest zombie film ever made.

>>212300492 (OP)
because this is the internet, people complain about literally everything.

>>212313077
that's a neanderthal

>>212315052
It's hard to say greatest. There's some heavy hitting classics to go up against like Romero's Night of the Living Dead. But definitely a classic and of the modern variety it's hard to beat it.

>>212315052
It's up there, but Day of the Dead reigns supreme

>>212315052
>>212315180
They're both at the top of the pile for me. Fucking astounding films.

>>212314672
I didnt think the cast was all that bad, even the child actor was better than the ones in 28 Weeks Later or even many other horror films bar his heavy accent. Not to mention Ralph Fiennes did a bang up job in the small amount of time he was on screen. But what can you even do with Cillian's character at this point, in a hypothetical 28 Months they could have maybe put him in a TV personality or activist role, or he could have been interviewed on TV as some guy that wrote a book on his experience as just a quick cameo mention. But what will be his excuse for coming back to the series? Was he just never rescued at the end of 28 Days, will he go from delivery biker to military soldier or researcher because he survived the outbreak?

>>212312668
>crossed
everything that man made leads me to habeeb he ought to be chemically castrated and locked away in an attic forever

>>212315287
Maybe it will be a flashback

dont need to watch this but danny boy always fucks it up in the end. it comes to no surprise this turned into some dogshit show

>>212303209
It's called 12 monkeys.

>>212301772
That's islamophobic.

>>212315052
It's pretty creepy

>>212314471
Yeah the priest part was stupid and the first clue that the whole movie would be like a dumb comic book overlaid with the thin veneer of a more serious movie. Huge shifts in tone can be well done but 28 Years Later feels like 2 or 3 different concepts mashed haphazardly together into a single script

>>212302294
This. It's supposed to be a coming of age movie but Garland can't write for shit. The only thing that made it tolerable was Boyle's direction. Good soundtrack as well.

>>212313089
>Viruses mutate,
not only that, these kind of hyper aggressive viruses self terminate as they kill their hosts way too fast. Like ebola is or the coof did at the start

rage virus is so fast it really does not have any time to mutate or adopt with its hosts. where upon real viruses always mellow out since they want to survive and keeping the host alive is part of it

>>212315726
Why was the priest part stupid?
A genuinely devout Christcuck would either relish the possibility of being torn limb from limb by demons and made a martyr to sit on the elect or would be ecstatic that the apocalypse had finally come to pass.
I don’t see why it’s anti christian or cartoonish to depict a devout priest behaving as you’d expect them to.

>>212309928
I thought they handled it pretty well, but people keep whining about this, so I guess they should have just made her suffering even more in-your-face than it already was. People can't extrapolate that she spends 95% of her time in agony and in bed and has no quality of life, not to mention that she's worsening just over the course of the film, and continue to ask why she didn't want to live out her remaining time with her son when she was already incapable of spending worthwhile time with him. I'm also sure half her decision isn't just to take the opportunity, but knowing that she'll get him killed if she even tries to return home with him. They barely made it all the way out with luck and unexpected aid, she knows she won't make it back and he won't leave her behind if needed.

>>212316593
NTA but I had zero problem with her wanting to go out before her pain got even worse and so her teenage son wouldnt have to see her in an even worse state while dying. The only thing I found odd was when they were sleeping in the abandoned church ruins and she just fucked up that one zombie that was crawling slowly towards Spike.
I'm not saying that the twist should've been that she was a carrier like the mom in 28 weeks, because it wouldn't have made sense with how she stayed in Holy Island for so long without anyone realizing. But it was a bizarre burst of energy that was shown off and I still have no clue if I missed something like one anon explaining that Alpha's didnt control the crows, the infected and crows just seemed to develop a symbiotic creation or not. (like one anon explaining that Alpha's didnt control the crows, the infected and crows just seemed to develop a symbiotic creation) or not.

>>212316548
I never said it was anti-Christian, I said it was stupid. It's an Anglican parish priest in the UK, not some zealous bible thumping American evangelist. It was cartoonish and not naturalistic or believable at all, in contrast with the opening scene and how the mother behaves. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with stupid cartoonish horror, it's just that this movie messy and veered all over the place

>>212300492 (OP)
Because Days was a great fucking movie and this one is on par with Weeks.

t. became a pharmacist, so I can qualify as a chemist

>The only thing I found odd was when they were sleeping in the abandoned church ruins and she just fucked up that one zombie that was crawling slowly towards Spike.
I could buy that. Moms can get insane adrenaline/strength boosts when they have to protect their kids.

>>212315052
*most anti-white film made ever

>>212317465
It would be church of Scotland presbyterian no? I’ve met a few religious nutters from Scotland and the presbyterians share a few characteristics with their whacko evangelical cousins in the states.
Hell, the entire premise of The Wicker Man is that a deeply religious jock comes face to face with paganism and pops a blood vessel over it.

>>212316548
>Christcuck
Hi, r/atheism is over there

>>212310854
Same, especially since my own mom has been struggling with health issues that she refuses to address. Been too ashamed to admit it since the threads have been filled with people shitting on the movie, but I've realized over the past week or so that there's definitely a maturity aspect at play here.

I hope the people who dislike and can't understand Spike'd actions haven't undergone personal hardship themselves and that's why the second half falls so flat for them, and I certainly hope they don't ever relate instead of revisiting it 5-10 years from now with more understanding.

>>212318346
You being able to identify with the movie is fine. There are places for those deeper kinds of movies that can really address that. A follow up to the 28 series of movies just isn't the right movie. The same way a touching romance movie in the Terminator franchise makes no sense. It's a completely tone deaf shift. Not to mention relating to one aspect of a movie doesn't change all the other flaws with it. You're being too generous because it struck a chord that was personal to you.

>>212318346
I coudn't give a single shit for the mother because the bitch is bed-ridden most of the time. also the first hour has spike with his father, they had a compelling dynamic, then decided to just write him out. That's not on the audience, thats on the writing

Oldfag who saw the first two in the theaters and is fan of the first two. Saw this last night and actually liked it a lot despite some serious plot holes and "wtf" moments as well as qualms with the writers' questioning of religion and human morality. The thread is already going off the rails with critique on this, but to answer this >>212316548 anon, the whole "hurr durr, Skydaddy faggots are insane cultists" fedora shit is cool if you're 12 or a troon, and that's about it in 2025. Notice none of these movies will never play this same shit on Islam or Judaism (lol), especially considering for decades the UK has basically been Pakistan-lite. It is anti-Christian, but I can deal with these played out tropes because I'm a grown ass man and not 12 and mentally ill, and I can enjoy media without having to buy into everything it's trying to convince me.


Pros:
>lots of eye candy, vivid color palette, interesting shots
>cool set pieces
>actors are good and well cast
>takes the infected in a slightly different direction

Cons
>massive fucking plot holes and things that just don't seem plausible, especially from a series of films known for being relatively grounded in reality (Natofags get rekt, kid goes from shitting his pants to fearless in a day, etc).
>last 2 acts of the movie plunge further and further into disbelief, and the whole baby on the train thing absolutely did not have to be in the film.
>"cool, doc, the circle of life, thanks for boiling the flesh off my mom's head so I can put it on your skull stack."

If they were trying to push these themes of "good parts of humanity" and "love" they could have written in some pregnant woman on the NATO boat that was with the soldiers and I'd have bought that before the "pregnant infected getting fucked by giant Chad zombie and looking for his babby taken by the child and mom". Also the Jimmy Saville thing at the end wasn't even that bad, desu. Especially if we're supposed to suspend our disbelief.

What happened to the immune boy from 28 Weeks Later?

>>212318807
The beginning of the film is set in rural Scotland circa 2002.
For context, in 2001 IRL Scotland was 0.8% muslim and 98% white. So no, it isn’t ant christian to depict a priest behaving that way lmao.
The film is also like 99% white because - once again - the UK has been in quarantine since 2002 so the demographics are effectively frozen.

It would have been so much more jarring and painful to watch if they inserted modern 2025 demographics into a film about a Britain which has been under lockdown since 2002.

>>212317956
Pretty sure a Scottish Presbyterian parish priest would be even more practical minded and down to earth. Literally nothing like American evangelists. The priest acting like an over-the-top religious nut was pure camp.

>>212319155
The opening shot of the film establishes that Jimmy is one of like 10 kids - all likely siblings. It’s an immediate sign that they aren’t a normal family - even by 2002 standards.
I’m sure we’ll explore more of it in January, but it really isn’t that far fetched.
Would you have preferred they show a boring normal priest?

>>212319155

>>212316548
Never try to write about anything, anon. The memes in your head are trash. A priest could be a complex character with complex reasons for being a priest that are agitated by the horror situation.

>>212317602
>t. became a pharmacist, so I can qualify as a chemist
Kek, same. And I still remember explaining why I'm even doing the practice to my then-boss back in 2009. The fucking look she gave me. I think that might be the reason I wasn't kept after my apprenticeship was over, but no other drug store had any issues with why I'm in this field.

>>212319229
I'd prefer if the movie had picked a side of either being campy or more grounded. Maybe the kids were siblings, maybe they were cousins, I don't think a large family automatically broadcasts that the dad would be nutter. I'm sure in the 2nd movie the priest's craziness will be explained as part of Jimmy's character arc, like I'm sure it was there for a reason I just think it was all very hamfisted and unevenly done.

>>212319262
Yeah, that's the point retard. The movie had a lot camp mixed with more serious, grounded scenes and the two didn't mesh together well at all. I literally said the priest scene was the signal that it's going to be a lot more cartoonish than the trailer or the original movie would lead the audience to expect.

>>212318807
The NAFO soldiers getting rekt was believable. Fighting infected isn't like fighting other humans and it's not something they can pick up from watching a few videos. If they even have combat experience it wouldn't be a 1 to 1 carry over. They would also be demoralized knowing that setting foot on Ingerlund means they are stuck there forever and rescue isn't coming.

>>212305427

As an actual /x/ schizo, no.

I do think it's softly suggesting a return to self-sufficiency and druidism though, and I appreciate it for bringing the topic to public awareness.

>>212313077
What the fuck...

>>212317638
This. It's weird because she doesn't seem conscious/sentient and has no recollection afterwards, but for all we know it may be leading to something more in the sequels.

>>212318439
These movies have always had strong themes of human connection as well as death. I'm sure the stupid birth scene is going to be important later too.

>>212318952
>immune boy
He wasn't and he sparks the epidemic across the mainland in the after credits scene. Narratively this would have sunk them into a repetitive hole of never ending zombie struggles, so they literally write it off in Years.

>>212318807
>Notice none of these movies will never play this same shit on Islam or Judaism
Holy shit!

The teletubbies sun baby is the god of the Jimmy Savile clan/cult.
