Cillian Murphy Stimulus | 28 Years Later Discussion | Directed by Danny Boy

[PoorAndDangerous]

seeing the reviews for this and then coming into this thread is wild lmao

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

Not everyone knew that. I didn’t going into the film.

Even then if someone’s seen a lot of movies in their life they should tell by the end of the film we’re getting another one.


This feels like a film that’s getting heat early on by fans that will be received better when the other movies are released.


I saw this movie as a foundation to what’s to come

 

[Jazzy B.]

it's interesting to me this is so divisive. did people forget the ending to the original film? i didn't like it back then. it switched to real cameras after the blurriness and became a completely different film with the army storyline.

i fukked with it, but that last scene felt like nia dacosta directed it. she makes bad movies so she might flop the franchise so bad with the 2nd one that we don't get the third one that's supposed to be directed by danny boyle.

The ending was NOTHING like the original movie


What happened at the end felt like it was from a completely different movie universe ENTIRELY



Reminds me of the BULLshyt they did in The Walking Dead when they started throwing in GOOFY shyt like junkyward people and Amazonians for no damn reason

It's a weird ending that felt so out of place compared to the tone of the film, which is why I mentioned that the ending scene should have been moved to post credit.

tone shifts can absolutely ruin a film. I'll have to check it out.

 

[Barney Rubble]

shyt felt like a condensed later season of The Walking Dead The cinematography was the best part, by far.

I mean it was just a 3 min introduction to new characters. I get the “tone shift” but that shift might not even be in the second film.

It just seems like the audience doesn’t know how to take it, and like you said a lot of people don’t know we’re getting more films.

I knew going in So my viewing experience is different

Overall, I really didn't like the film was expecting more zombie stuff to go down. The first part of the movie was good, lots of suspense and action.

Spoiler

The second part of the movie and the ending lost it for me. I understand what they were trying to do but it just didn't work for me. I really felt that it could have used the dad was well so he could have made peace with the lies he told and losing his wife. He seemed to really care for his son so it didn't make sense to me that he didn't go looking for him, or at least make an attempt. It's not like he didn't have an idea of where his son was going. He wasn't the best husband but it had to be tough seeing your wife wilt away and there was nothing you could do about it.

I think the final scene should have been dad, army creh, son, and doc somehow taking do n the alpha. Dad and son head home but the son runs away and leaves a note.

Also, I have no clue why they included the zombie birth...felt like filler.

Reading is fundamental breh. I never said it was like the original. I said the original also switched it up in the third act. They used real film cameras instead of that early digital video shyt and moreso the tone and story shifted. In fact boyle and garland have this problem in all their movies they've done together(sunshine being the biggest offender).

The movie strait up ignored the final scene in 28 weeks later. It claims the virus never made it to mainland europe, but in 28 weeks later , a horde of them ran by the eiffle tower

They literally shows clips from 28 weeks later breh.

I thought that too but they couldn’t really do that without cutting parts of the movie.

Because to make the movie a standalone

Spoiler

They had to explain what happened to the young boy at the start of the movie. And then also explain why there was a tied up human with carvings . At the end we find out the boy is now a leader of a group, along with his crew being responsible for the tied up man. So everything is pretty much resolved

Thought you meant Danny Boy - the Death Row Records singer.

28 weeks isn't completely cannon.

Just getting back from seeing this and overall really enjoyed it . Reading the comments about the very end of the film and I agree it was abrupt, but just took it as setup for the next film and it didn't really bother me as much as some.

Co-sign on the cinematography being beautiful and there were some great moments of tension, and some things I hadn't seen before .

Some moments reminded me of Attack on Titan, specially with the

Yeah that final scene should have been bushed. Its silly and undercuts the rest of the movie.

The movie is a mess either way. The scenes with Ralph Fiennes, Spike and his mother are fantastic but theres too much stuff that misses the mark for suspension of disbelief and character development. Without going into detail, some of the character's choices don't make sense.

Too much goes unexplained, and it feels like the movie is rushing so it can fit everything in. Its entertaining while its on, but it should have been much better given the filmmakers involved.
