28 Years Later

rotten

**It destroyed the franchise** 28 Years Later is another tired franchise revival that ruined its respective franchise. The film was akin to a hollow, uninspired cash grab, with zero respect for the original story. It started out good, but didn't know what it wanted to be, and the choices made by the characters were just too ridiculous to lead anyone to believe they survived for up to 28 years.…

28 Years Later: The Boring Temple. The first hour concerns people irrelevant to the final goal. The kid is cool. The mom is cool. Why do I have to watch the rest? Would rather the focus be on resolving whatever situation with the guy they stole the baby from. That guy was cool. Had a human baby. That's pretty wild. Could have been better and shorter.…

"What the !@#$ did I just watch?" **SPOILERS AHEAD!** The first hour and fourteen minutes of this movie is weird, stupid, and a colossal waste of time. Dean's 1/10 review is understandable. The first (17) minutes of this movie is damn near unbearable. I assume "Boots" has some historic significance, but all it does is take me out of the movie constantly.…

Don't believe those reviews that give this movie rating more than 4/10. They are paid reviews. There's no way that any normal, sane person would rate this movie more than 4. I watched 28 Days Later (first one) and 28 Weeks later (2nd one) and they were masterpieces in a zombie movies. They were brilliant. I would say, best zombie movies out there.…

"28 Years Later" is a very different film to its predecessors. This is humanist tale of what it means to inherit a world that's changed but at its core, remains unchanged. Remember, we all live and we all must die. In this sense, the tale of zombies, takes a back seat, as the protagonists have to face the reality of survival but just as importantly, the need to remain human. To live, love and accept loss.…

<em>'28 Years Later'</em> delivers a very good flick, I wouldn't rank it too far behind the (albeit superior) original in actuality. I admittedly did think it was going to be more in-your-face unsettling based on a trailer I saw, what with that terrifying (but great!) usage of Rudyard Kipling's "Boots".…

It’s almost thirty years since Cillian Murphy wandered around in his hospital gown; the so-called “rage” virus still shows no sign of abating and with Britain effectively quarantined from Europe there are few outposts untouched by it’s madness.…

I have waited for 18, painful, years since 28 weeks later was released for this sequel. So, as I am sure it is the case with many Zombie movie fans I had expectations very high. The movie is set 28 years after the infection in a, this time completely, quarantined UK and follow a family who lives in a secured village.…

***SPOILERS/STORY SUMMARY REVIEW*** What I will say about this movie is it's not all bad. This first half was really good, with an opening that was reminiscent of 28 Weeks Later. Afterwards though, it cuts to completely different characters for basically the rest of the film.…

Just a wealth of stupid, moronic, and ill-advised ideas. The film starts out with a fairly strong intro, but the central character here doesn't have any impact on the rest of the film, so it feels wasted. It switches plots halfway through after a strong start, inexplicably. I assume the new evolved infected were meant to be scary.…

**A beautiful film with a handful of odd choices.** I was hesitant going into this film. On one hand, it was a mainstream zombie film with a big budget and a competent crew. But on the other hand, it was in a franchise I have never loved, and it was the start of a new trilogy.…
