Yup. This is like a big budget art house film especially in the first half of the film. The style of the arrow kills were sick as hell and the camera he used during the early bed scenes with the mother looked like it was shot on a shaky camera from 2003. It’s subtle but you can tell, it’s really dope how he mixed that in with the camera techniques, it was sublime. The second half rolls in and it’s like the studio said Iite we gave you 30 mins now cut all that artsy shyt out and shoot it like we gave you $60 million
The pacing in that 2nd half also was a direct successor to 28 Days Later, the deliberate slowed pacing, the focus on human interaction, It takes a lot of balls to do that when marketing suggests a pacing in mind of 28 Weeks Later. I would watch it again honestly.

Until I saw her name in the credits I could not place where I knew her from.
I‘d rank these in the order they were released. It’s still really good but I think the other 2 were better. I think it’s because I wanted more zombies.

No spoilers.
The first 25 minutes of the film? Great.
The rest of the film until the last two minutes? Terrible.
The last two minutes of the film? I'm not exaggerating—dead serious—when I say this is probably one of the worst endings of any film of all time. I mean it. The shift in tone during those last two minutes, relative to the rest of the movie, is truly unbelievable. I don't understand what they were thinking. It literally felt like a completely different movie.
I really wanted to like this.

Not gonna lie that ending had me
Your whole post is also true but I give it grace because I remember 28 Days having a very slowed pace & Boyle wanted to get back to the spirit of that…. but objectively there is a clear distinctive quality difference from what you get the first 30 mins and everything after.
There’s a lot of shyt I looked the other way with this film now that I think about lol
I enjoyed the journey he had with ______, but they could’ve kept it.
the sudden scenes with thee soldiers seemed extremely convenient
& honestly it’s a bait and switch. It’s very toned down compared to the trailer. It seems like they want to give the viewers high action but not until the sequel so you get this ambitious project instead.

This is what I was coming back to post about.
A bunch of parkour zombie killing Swedes?
They looked like a gang from The Warriors

In...what regard??Well..unless the story itself is a spoiler never mind then. That definitely gives me
Not the r**e stuff from Crossed
but more
Wilderness/cave man like infected who are organized, work in groups, communicate and have their own society and culture
.... shyt felt like a scene out of the Twisted Metal series . . .. i was looking forward to the sequel up to that point . ..
