Was anyone else confused as to why there were no shitskins in this movie? I mean, its placed in Europe, which is a brown continent

>>213294708
It's comic book writing. The whole movie makes more "sense" if you think of it as an Crossed adaptation but without the excessive vulgarity.

>>213294720
>All movies are advertised to get the most attention possible, it's on you if you keep falling for it

>>213294546

>>213294938
I know, but I've been trying to think of an answer for why this movie sucked balls and why it feels so weird. When you think of it as comic book panels it all suddenly makes sense. It's still shit though.

>>213294708
The doctor explained that Alphas have their own territory. They killed that (white) Alpha in the beginning of the movie and his pack, and it only became dangerous when they crossed over into Paki Alpha's territory

>>213295008
Same way they made this (Which also includes Rape)

>>213295156
I've read that Garth Ennis hasn't sold the movie rights to anyone because he wants a completely uncensored live action version. Even Sadness was way too tame in his opinion. It's not just going to be rape, it's going to be Caligula tier pornography and realistic gore akin to Hellraiser. I just have no cue why anyone would want to see it.

>>213294202
it was all so bad, starting with the retarded opening scene with the priest

>>213295445
Agreed. It all felt so 'off' from the beginning.

>>213295384
Because he wants to make a movie where the message is basically "This is what would actually happen to you if you were in a zombie apocalypse, nerds". And he wants to hammer that in as hard as possible

>>213294407
You understood nothing about the movie, you Christcuck larper.
Lay off TikTok next time and follow what's happening on screen.

>>213295445
The opening scene had really weird editing as well. The kids runs up the stairs but then he's seen running down the street?

I seriously need a zombie movie about the breakdown of society/the beginning of the outbreak. The first five minutes were absolute kino and I need more of it. Dawn of the Dead 1978 is the closest movie to scratching that itch but movies have this weird penchant for jumping forward in time to when zombies are already apparent and the world is over

>>213295156
That movie was tame as fuck compared to Martyrs, À l'interieur, Man Bites Dog, Salo, Irreversible,.Flaunders, and whole bunch of other movies that came out way before it.
I don't get all the hype behind it.

Sorry you were all filtered so badly and can't appreciate kino. Maybe the new Fantastic Four movie is up your alley. I hear it has lots of funny jokes and bright colors and superpowers and the good guys beat the bad guys!

I wrote it off when Garland made vague allusions to Brexit and that the film would address it in metaphor
what a fag

>>213295933
Or Garland and Boyle are just getting old, bitter and cynical and thus just can't hack it anymore. They know they can't make original movies anymore cause the industry is fucked so they just took 28 Days and turned it into something its not just so they can satisfy that itch of getting their "fresh, new" ideas out there, only to realize nobody cares and they're not young men anymore with that drive and creativity. They ruined the last legacy movie they both had. Well, except Dredd but that was never a success and only an internet favourite.

>muh headcanon

>>213293517 (OP)
zombie shit sucks after the initial outbreak. always. its your fault for watching.

>>213295933
I don't believe that Boyle even wanted to make this movie. It feels so forced, no ambition whatsoever. And I don't think that Boyle understands why 28 Days was so good either. It was a lightning in a bottle, Garland's fresh script on zombie / infected and Boyle's need for recognition. None of the original vibe was present.

>>213294380
>>213294407
>>213295959
Yeah, after watching this shitpile, I have to conclude that Boyle and Garland are some seriously twisted fucks.

the ending was hilarious in the best way possible. heres this kid thinking hes on some coming of age journey or something big and noble only to run into a random gang of people who worship a sex pest and nonce and then this really sinister music kicks in as the movie ends. Lol.

>>213293517 (OP)
Yeah, what the fuck was up with that? Fuck the mom, i want father and son zombie adventures.

>>213295959
yes, this movie should've been taylor johnson killing zombies, his character was fucked up for no reason (oh nos, he's having sex during the apocalypse), this kid shit is so annoying, you pull a knife at your own father for her but let some retard skin her because of what? because he's covered in iodine? ffs

>>213296156
I seriously doubt she didn't direct the first part too

To be fair, you did leave out the part where the dad hit the kid in the face out of impulse-anger. Seemed like things could have gone either way if not for that.

>>213295530

The whole script written by a tranny.

I loved it.
It's easily the best in the series no contest.
It had so many 11/10 scenes I'm rewatching again and again.
The only problem is the stitching of these scenes together is a bit rough to me, but this is a subjective view.

>>213294492
What was the point of the twink Swedish soldier?

Better question.
In the 28 week later we can see the infected reaching the Eiffel tower, the main land. How the fuck remaining any civilization after that?

>>213294708
It makes sense if you consider that Spike and his dad thinned the area of several infected. It would take time for more infected to repopulate the area.

Also they did run into a group and nearly died at the gas station.

>>213293517 (OP)
The entire movie is garbage, every scene felt like it was tested and approved by leftist redditfags.

>>213294910

>>213294808
Probably the background actors doing it for free. Just like the jannies.

so what was the deal with the mask? I was starting to think there was gonna be some cult thing in the community or they were somehow hallucinations or supernatural shit, but then nothing happened

>>213300980
The whole movie are a paper-mache.
It's looks promising in the box but when you watch it from close it's a
full disappointment .

>>213300980
not a cult, the mask was worn to trivialise death
the same girl was shown in a different scene, after Spike and his dad killed a group of infected. she was standing there almost like a spectre haunting the village
now ask yourself why a young blonde haired, blue eyed girl is wearing a mask where she's bleeding out her eyes with an arrow through her head?

Yeah, true. But I actually felt like the kid and dad could die during the first venture. I never felt that with the sick mom. You knew she couldn't die until whatever silly point they were trying to make.
I know this is a pretty subjective complaint.

Yea the shift was drastic, I understand what you're saying.
I will say however that the second time he went out he went with resolve, purpose, and desperation and that usually changes everything.
I also have anecdotes where I'm less competent when I'm following the orders of less competent men whom I defer to to instruct me (though that probably doesn't apply to James) but I'm hyper-competent when I'm dictating things. Like when I'm following someone else on a fishing trip or a holiday trip we inevitably run into trouble, but when I'm on a solo excursion it's always smooth sailing.

>>213295008
They made The Boys with all the crass violence and sex gore like the dude who shrinks and goes inside a man's penis then accidentally unshrinks and explodes him from the inside in a scene which is presented comically, they will have no trouble showing insane super-intelligent hyper-sadist zombies carving people up while cackling and smacking each other with actual horse cocks for fun in a Crossed adaptation. They just have to drop any pretense of it being serious and it will be unironic kino.

>>213302995
Yeah I’m not English so I didn’t get the pop culture references but I felt a vibe they were trying to mock those “backwards” rural hicks. However I just decided to turn my media literacy off and enjoy the comfy pre-industrial village full of honest people venerating the ghost of their last monarch, celebrating the heroic deeds of their warrior class, and developing unique folk customs which reflect the new world they live in. I feel like Garland did the worldbuilding well in that sense, even if I disagree with his satirization of it.

>>213303078
Are you referring to the bloody mask person? Interwoven footage, you mean the trail cam shots of infected and the like? I just write those parts off as arthouse bait, care to explain the deeper meaning behind it?

Okay, I’m not that smart so I just asked ChatGPT since you’re being cryptic:

The poster is likely suggesting:
This image is not just edgy horror design, but intentional symbolism.
The girl represents the next generation, being indoctrinated or shaped by a system built on death, just like the old one.
Even the “new world” after the collapse isn’t free—it’s repeating the same sickness, but dressing it in ritual and myth.

>>213302011
Why do midwits embrace death so vapidly if there's a clock ticking down? The only difference between a terminal patient cancer and anyone else in this brutal setting is that mom can willingly prepare and teach her son to take proper care of the adopted infected child she just saved instead of pissing her time left away to make a frivolous and shallow point to the audience.

>>213302262
There's nothing natural about hasting the time you have left in this world. In fact, I'd say it is modern "progressive" man that faced with the futility of overcoming mortality would rather control the terms over it to shield his fragile and pathetic ego with a sense of greatness, which is sad because nothing fruitful is accomplished by it.

>>213303564

>>213304257
The mask was just how they teach kids about the infected. It turned into a ritual symbol which became part of their folk customs. Nothing deep about that, it’s just spooky worldbuilding.

>>213304245
The mom wasn't lucid. She mistook Spike for her dad like five times throughout the film and obviously felt like a burden. It was the only logical conclusion at that point.

But nobody asked her to die away. Everyone else still accepted and took care of her while she was sick and she was still capable of doing good things as evidenced when she saved her son during their journey and when she rescued the infected child from the terrible fate that awaited it. She could still ingrain and part the knowledge of being a "mother" to her son so he would not fail in providing the role of paternal and maternal figure of the child she just saved (which ironically is ditched by her son the second he can to go off unto his retarded adventures) and she never once considers or reconciles that her time left might be used for a greater purpose than paint the audience with a "powerful" message. The movie wants to celebrate death in a setting where life is too precious for that shit.

>>213303939
I get it now, this movie really is 2deep4u shit

>>213304570
I think they should have used it for every kill Spike made during the first act. Boyle used freeze frames in Trainspotting 2 for important character moments.

>>213304364
Yet she somehow survived travelling a zombie wasteland. Curious
Almost like it's bad w

>>213304599
Ohhh I get it.
humanity is returning to a state of innocence pre-Original sin. The infected represent a return to monke. This is why the first half of the movie, in which the characters operate as agents of civilization, contrasts with the whimsical second half, where Spike goes on a “quest” for personal/spiritual reasons like a primitive human would have.

>>213304545
Imagine getting washed up in zombie hell territory and using your last source of contact with the civilized world for some 12 year old tribal kid to say that your gf got bogged

Have to give his dad some credit, he raised Spike into a capable survivor (but also he got lucky in the encounter with Erik). James is a terrible father objectively, but the point is he is the father that world creates.

I would have liked the movie if it was just more of James and Spike surviving the wild, but that wouldn't be anything worth talking about. But I will not forget the commentary on life, death, and love that it instead tries to tell. Kelson's scenes are where the movie does what it really wants, and I think it works brilliantly as three parts, marked ditinctly by the three times Spike sleeps:
>Spike's dad teaches him about death. How to kill, how to avoid death, how to run from the reality of the world. Evidenced by the focus on James' lying. He isn't just trying to keep Spike in the dark, he is himself avoiding the truth. Spike has a confusing nightmare and wakes up to keep running from death.
>Spike's mother teaches him about life. Her love always perseveres through her condition and instead of trying to harden him and tell him what to do, she tells real stories, reinforces his kind nature and protects his innocence (best evidenced by the scene of her killing the infected while Spike is asleep but not waking him at all).
>Kelson teaches him a synthesis of both. Death is not something to be afraid of, and life is something to be loved even after it ends. Spike falls asleep watching his mother depart to her death, but holding new life in his hands, showing that life does go on. Life can't beat death, but death can't beat love.

lolololo
and what exactly is that commentary, skin your mother if she gets cancer, because that's painless death

It was the worst part of the first half, seizure inducing pseudointellectual crap

>>213309025
idk I guess I'm just an angloboo and hate frogs

Why is /tv/ so media illiterate? 28 Years Later is a simple yet good movie, an easy message to understand, yet just like every other good movie the dumb idiots on /tv/ don't get it. I swear, everyone here is just a Jeet worshipping Zack Snyder.

>>213309136
fuck off boyle, you suck, next time don't use ai to make a movie

>>213294708
They killed many of the infected and the alpha who was stalking that area when Dad and Boy went out on their run. It was also Boy's first time actually seeing these things. Boy is also motivated by love for his mother and hatred for his father, fuelling him forward the second time he goes out. Boy and Mother saved by infected from Soldier and then eventually Doctor. Boy has no fear after Mother dies because he has nothing except his own life now. Having less fear makes his aim better.

>>213309159
You're literally a Jeet.

>>213309136
>yet good movie
damn how low are your standards?

>>213300515
Because you just shoot them. 28Days Zombies are literally no more dangerous than a rabid person. You shoot the crazy person running at you and they die. There's no requirement for a difficult headshot, no undeath to keep them operating at peak capacity after days with no food. They are literally just a rowdy person who has additionally lost the ability to use weapons, protect themselves or strategize. Any moderately armed force could put them down in hours. Like what do you think would happen if you got a gang of people in t-shirts to charge across an open field at an army unit? Much less one armed with automatic weapons? They'd get mulched.

That would make sense if he was a few years older. He's literally 12/13

>>213309599
It makes more sense in a small isolated island community in what is essentially medieval Britain. it's a coming of age movie

>>213309680

How did you even get that out of it? Dr Kelson named the alpha, but it's not a major theme of the movie.
>>213294808
Not confused, just pleasantly surprised.
>>213296336
The ending was hilarious, but then I remembered it was tying in to a sequel which I have no intention of seeing because it's directed by the lovely Nia. It's also setup in the opening, which I had completely forgot. Overall those bookend parts are the weakest parts of the movie, I would have liked it better if it was just a standalone story.
>>213308890
>anyone else think the BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS part was kino as fuck?
Yes, it was. It really helped drive the point that them going on the scavenger hunt is like going off to war. The editing in general was really well done.
>>213309136
This. It's just a simple coming of age story.

Opening scene with the teletubbies and church was the best scene I've watched in 2025 and the "wacky" ending was just the icing on the cake

>>213309819
Better turn it off at the 0 mark, but yeah, if you can swallow pretentious directing and shit like megazombies that control flocks of birds, the first 40 minutes look like a movie

>>213309792
they chickened out on showing the little girls get killed however

>>213309819
Watch the entire movie because it's kino

>>213309964
It insists upon itself

>>213309805
>toxic masculinity
Sure, but for something Alex Garland wrote, that theme isn't really as prevalent as his other movies. The most obvious thing I can think of is that conversation with the Swede where the mom calls him a dick.
>hating your father
It's not exactly hating your father, it's more like the kid realizing his father is flawed and making his own decisions, which is part of what coming of age is.
>euthanasia
I think you're being ironic. I don't think the film is making a political case for euthanasia. Even if it is, I'm not personally blanket opposed to euthanasia, I think the scenario the film presents is one where its use is justified.
In any case, I wasn't really trying to say the movie is a based and redpilled right wing film or anything like that, obviously it's not, I just enjoyed it for what it is. The lack of diversity was probably not intentional, but was welcome nonetheless.

>>213308772
its true, "trivializing" death is useful for any warrior based society.
i think trivializing is a bad word for it though, its more like honoring it.
its why militaries put skulls on their insignia. because death is a part of their life.

Absolute weakest part, tryhard edgy garbage. At least the rest of the movie is good, but that opening does nothing to get you hyped for it.

>>213309136
it's not equal to 28 days later. it doesn't share the same quality.
the bullet time effect was retarded
the son getting mad at the dad was retarded.

the doctor living among the zombies was retarded.

It's Eden. Spike rejects eternal ignorance and the safety of the cage in favor of the harsh world.

the atj scenes are all that is watchable in this shitshow, even ralph fiennes is drowned in all the edginess writers decided to imbue him with

>>213310495
first exposure to the infected for these dudes. probably first military contact, ever.
have you never had a spike of adrenaline before?
running becomes awkward, like youre in a dream, falling. youre watching a teammate get his limb torn open, your stamina is fucked. you try to aim and your scope shakes. shits moving too fast to hipfire, you'd shoot your own buddy. soldiers arent rambo IRL, they're basically wagies that operate expensive deadly machines.

>>213310562

Atj is cringey because he thinks he's way better looking than he is and he has a nasally jew voice.

>>213310710
the guns and shit just made it worse for them most likely, howd they get such a horde on them in the first place, right?
the kid and mom are just lucky, and they survive because theyre low key.
the lamer plot armor imo is ralph fiennes jab where he can immobilize them instantly.

>>213310737
>28 years later
>2002
common core math

>>213309588
Education was already this movie.
Spike got a guiding hand and a community.
Jimmy presumably didn't and had to fend for himself in the wilderness. Though it's pretty impressive he has managed to survive this far and form an infected killing cult. Though as suggested by the movie his cult probably uses the infected to attack other people by leading them to them.
>>213310212
Not fully decked out. They were 8 man survivors of a lifeguard patrol. They probably had suboptimal outfit to begin with, we don't know how many roving infected groups they've already encountered and spent ammunition on, and maybe half the men we saw in the canal when they were running away were already out of ammo.
Their presence and distracting/killing of infected might also be why Spike and his mom had an easier time of it.
It all makes sense.

>>213310729
Wouldn't work, covid is airborne rage is bloodborne.

>>213310900
>Though as suggested by the movie his cult probably uses the infected to attack other people by leading them to them.
suggested just by him crouching on the cliff observing/scouting while his teams chilling nearby?

worst part about this whole movie is the direction it went they could of went anywhere with it and actually write a compelling story but instead went the slop route its actually laughable how these directors muddy there own name by not giving a single fuck about what there putting on the screen

Wouldn't it be funny if the world stages a liberation of the UK, only to find the island clear of infected, to be replaced entirely by hostile blond-haired Jimmy's.
And then they revealed that this place exists irl and it's called Australia.
South Africa would be a case where the chavs lost

>>213310933
so it's not 2002 technical standard you idiot, it's 2030 technical standard

>>213311033
yeah, most probably agree it shouldve just been the initial woods survival kino. its not like you couldnt have told compelling stories with that "simple" plot either.

When Spike is cooking the fish there are shrill whoops and calls from the brush that sound like some form of communication we haven't heard from the infected who tend to just howl and scream. Then he gets ambushed by a group of infected shortly after, and gets 'saved'.

I thought the film was great. The audience reaction to it really shows how they're unable to deal with anything challenging.

So was this one big joke?

>>213311457
Speaking of that movie, how come there were zero cameras monitoring the mom? There were like a million cameras overseeing the streets, but not a single one in that entire lab

>>213302995
Because from spike's POV his dad is not telling the truth and also ends up with another lady while his wife is home. Spike doesn't feel like he earned it + gets sick on their booze. You could argue the dad doing that was for morale, to build up everyone's spirits and make his son's role as a new hunter solidified but spike's too honest for it to matter to him. To everyone else it was a victory.

Evidence points to the looming threat of a real life zombie apocalypse.

The first adverse reaction listed in the pfizer documents released by FOIA for their vaccine is 1p36 deletion syndrome. If you look up the symptoms of that you will find it is the elimination of the frontal cortex and gives the propensity to bite. What's very odd is this was the symptom post vaccination. 1p36 gene disease is a congenital disease which means you're born with it. So how is it possible that this is the first serious adverse event from the Pfizer shots? They wanted to lock this information up for 75 years.

Media has been released with predictive programming of corporations and government bioweapons getting out of control creating the zombie apocalypse.

The US Military has wargamed a plan against a zombie invasion. FEMA has put out zombie commercials and CONOPS. CONPLAN-8888 was created by Stratcom in 2011. On page 2 it says the plan uses examples just for demonstration, don't worry about it so we don't offend other countries. When you look through, it's all about five different types of zombies. There isn't anything in the plan about opposition forces. There isn't anything in the plan about winning political battles or counter insurgencies. It is only about a zombie apocalypse and defending it.

Every NIMS (National Incident Management System) compliant agency federal, state and local has already had their zombie apocalypse training. They've already done their practice. The CDC has had a zombie apocalypse preparedness website up for the last five years. Now they've reduced it to a PDF cartoon.

In the Amazon services contract, section 42.10, states that they are not liable for damages in case there is a zombie apocalypse.

It's here frens… the happening.

The latest dose of predictive programming: 28 Years Later

SPOILER ALERT

The opening scene features a room full of children being slaughtered by rage zombies.

The main character is a young kid named "Spike" (spike protein?) who enters manhood and ventures out of the safe village of survivors with his father in order to experience the dangers of the quarantined mainland.

His mother is sick, he later sneaks out of the village with her to protect her from turning. A young swedish soldier rescues them from a horde of rage zombies. He boasts about 'being like a viking' shortly before the alpha zombie beheads him.

Spike stays on the mainland instead of returning to the village and at the end of the film is cornered by a horde of zombies. He is rescued by a character named "Jimmy", who is a spitting image reference to Jimmy Saville, and his band of chav ninjas. Seriously.

The filmmakers even got cheeky with Red Deer scenes shown to the audience.

>believing in zombies

>then it ramps it up to 11 with ninja chavs by the end

you can already see how it's gonna go between Sir Jimmy and Spike. the start of the movie is like a warped and condensed story of Spike. kid was saved by the selfless mother, basically doomed by his shitter father thinking it's the second coming. guess there will be some "dad's suck" bonding before Spike realizes he's a psycho

Spike says it himself, that's not what happened and his dad rolls with it anyway. Even if no one cares too much it's a booze fest for the island so everyone is having a good time and those are probably few and far between. Dunno how you can't understand that at least. It's pretty easy to see why spike wouldn't like it, he cares about his mom and everyone, even his dad is out drinking besides that old guy watching the mom at home. Plus the dad's infidelity.

>>213313084
>realizes that his dad is a liar who cheats on his mom
>finds out that the guy that his dad is scared of like you are one dumb motherfucker if you don't see that the kid was trying to think rationally about this. everyone in the encampment were perfectly fine with his mother just suffering every single day and you're trying to make him going off on his own with his mother for a possible cure as the irrational choice

>>213313108

Why does everything need to be deconstructed?
They did the same thing with DMC. As soon as Netflix got a hold of the IP, they immediately began exploring how the demons were actually misunderstood and had families of their own, and they are actually the victims of an evil American billionaire empire.
Same as Rings of Power - what if the Orcs were actually relatable with compassion and empathy?
Ridiculous demoralisations.

That's a meaningless statement

>>213313303
Because of his mom doofus.
He didn't have any self-preservation, his thoughts were entirely about saving his mom. His dad lied to him about the bonfire so there was an element of curiosity too.

Desperation+ curiosity I've doubled down on danger before too.

The first time he went out was his first time ever leaving the island and they walked into a trap set up by the alpha zombie. Second time he had experience and there was no alpha deliberately waiting for a group of people to leave the island.

>>213314097
I notice you posted a real image of the night sky and not the one in the movie which is obviously a bad CG job, it doesn't even track correctly with the (badly lit) foreground, you slop enjoying ignoramus

Has he even made a movie that doesn't completely fall apart at the end?

>>213306486
>hits his kid out of anger because he was trying to get through his lies
>cheats on his dying wife
>makes up stories about his son without considering his opinion, ironically treating him less like a man
I like James and think he was even right in the end (taking Isla to Kelson was stupid and a waste of time), and it's clear he is a very good protector and guide to his son, but he is a bad father.

>>213310179
The opening scene is mainly just to reintroduce you to the setting and establish the basics if you haven't seen the previous films:
>We are in Britain and it's the early 2000s
>The virus makes people rabid
>It spreads absurdly quickly, making the kid's family and the priest turn within seconds
that's all it is really

>>213314413
Obviously he didn't know the little retard would kidnap her, but keeping the cancer a secret when he's meant to be becoming a man is asking for trouble

>>213311033

explain. "slop" means nothing, either write some actual words about what the film does in your opinion or fuck off. you said literally nothing.

>>213313442
i also love my mother but in this specific case you end up with two half eaten rotting corpses instead of one, if it wasn't for the script
one of those "turn your brain off" moments. yeah sure a 12 year old and his mother with late stage cancer surely can make it. when they don't some magical character comes out of nowhere, more than once

>>213314219
