28 Years Later

Great first half, full of tension, beautiful cinematography, although those zombie kill shots where scene pauses and camera angle rotates was annoying and looked like a video game scene.

Super boring second half where movie switches tone to comedy drama and predictable scenes were dragged too much.

Completely stupid ending, nothing like what you would expect from this movie series.

28 days later was such an amazing movie with constant tension throughout, great ending and awesome camera work showing aggressiveness of zombies that you felt through screen. This movie however is disappointing. Alphas just look like Jason Mamoa with makeup. Would have been nice if they kept rest of the movie similar to the first half with focus on horror and intense tension to keep viewers edge of their seat instead of making viewers fall asleep.

As a huge fan of the first 2 films, it's pains me to say it but I found this really disappointing.

Should have guessed from the 15 certificate that it would lack the horror and the edge of the earlier films. I don't want to spoil the plot but there are 2 or 3 plot lines that really don't make sense. The ending I felt was particularly bad.

I get that the story is a very blunt metaphor for Brexit and the theme of rebirth (literally in one case) is very clear but just didn't gel or work as a story for me.

If you are looking for a continuance of the earlier, darker, scarier films I fear you may also leave the cinema disappointed.

I truly don't think this is the story the writers wanted to tell. Something interfered or tampered, perhaps the studio executives forcing it to be a trilogy. I think this was originally intended to be one story but the writer and director were forced to change it. While the first act was strong, the second and third act just felt odd, both rushed and stretched out at the same time. The characters just make weird, fruitless decisions. A plot device happens in the third act that is completely pointless and adds nothing to the depth of the story, and for what the previous installments were there isn't really a climax. At some points I felt like I was watching the Walking Dead where the infected are secondary to the plot. Idk, I just hope Cillian can redeem the series in the next entry.

Having watched this movie, it made me realize that the second installment was the best one. The first one was still better than this one, but 28 Years Later for me was the least enjoyable of the three.

The story is very weak, and you are waiting for something bigger to start happening. But it never does. It seems that the trailer had us all captivated and was masterfully done, but then when you watch this movie you wonder if you're watching something different. I was expecting something a lot more powerful.

Another thing that I found a little bothersome, was the frequent display of nudity on the zombies. Yeah I get it, they don't wear clothes. But there seemed to be an awful lot of private parts on full display, especially of the male zombies. I wonder if the director and or screenwriter had some kind of fetish for that. I thought it was inappropriate and unnecessary, and not really adding to the story.

I won't be rushing out to buy this DVD that's for sure. The first two were classics, this third one will be one of those watch-one-time only movies.

Some cool moments, a lot of random choices. I would guess they were going for the experimental alternative factor buuut not quite successfully.

My biggest "why" is this movie being attached to the 28 series. Completely unnecessary and misleading. It was probably done to attract a wider audience; otherwise, it would have fallen into the unpopular indie horror film category with little financial success.

As a 28 fan, I was disappointed, however, in the first 15 minutes I realised I should forget I'm watching a 28 movie to have a chance of enjoying it.

The cinematography and art direction were out of the box in a good way. The cast and acting were good.
