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

[FlyRy]

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

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.

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.

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

Because to make the movie a standalone

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

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.

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.

Very well done sequel. It was tense, it was funny, it was weird and I liked it. I don’t know about Jimmy though

Spending money on the ticket + possible food and drink? You might piss yourself off.

Cineclub member. Used my points, only paid a dollar for the ticket. Snuck two beef patties in with me.

Audience score on RT is 65% , Critics now at 89%(was 90% earlier). 3.6 on letterboxd and 7.2 on IMDB. critics love it, audiences are mixed. I've seen tons of glowing reviews on twitter. those who love this movie, LOVE it

Gave up halfway through

 

[Lootpack]

This went from a 4.5 to a 4 to a 3.5/5 for me. shyt was maddening. That first half pulled me in, then the second half hits and the film came across like it was leaning too much into setting up what’s to come in the next films. Boyle’s chaotic camerawork and visual flare is keeping me from feeling entirely sour on the film overall.

That sound design was , even when the Dolby audio had me on the verge of a crying headache.

Not a fan of the ending, but what happened there wasn’t out of the ordinary with Boyle given his past work. Really did feel like some shyt out of Trainspotting, lmao. That being said, it’s an undeniable tonal whiplash coming off of what was supposedly an emotional moment.

Spoiler

Jodie did her thing but I didn’t feel much for Isla’s death.

One second Spike is saying his goodbyes to his mother and the next second he sees Fiennes returning with her sterilized skull talm bout pick the best of the best spot. shyt had me with how much of a speed-run the scene felt.

It really did sell me with its world-building though. Theatrical vs. TV budgets be damned, it’s what I wanted for the latest season of TLOU. There were pieces here tho that had me highly entertained and others that made me question my excitement for the rest of the trilogy, which is sadly not much…but of course I’ll be there anyway.

100% the opposite. Coli loves to immediately deem a mediocre film/show classic, and a bag of trash, treasure. Then get angry if someone offers a reasoned explanation for why the thing isn't good. Several posts in here were essentially like " this was one of the best films of the year brehs" and the movie was pure slop.

Script was comically lazy and incoherent, the kid's performance was sub-par and maudlin, the movie moved at a glacial pace and the terror was mostly nonexistent, the "evolution" of the virus brought us Steven Adams sized zombies that ran fast with their enormous penises inexplicably flopping around - and even their "fast" was actually slow compared to the original zombies. The village was dull and the gratuitously inserted footage of historical flashbacks pointless, and the skull collector was a pseudo-philosophical clown of a character: "memento mori!" A pregnant zombie with her titties out squata and gives birth to an uninfected and the tardish mother hold her hands



Then the garish Euro Ninjas do some B-Movie acrobatics


You can't be fukkin serious with this slapdash bullshyt

Sounds like it’s ridiculous

I googled Jimmy Savile and now I know Aaron Taylor-Johnson's character is gonna have to

save his dumb ass son from a cult of weirdos. The upside down body we only saw I M Y carved into his body but its most likely the J was cut in his genitals to spell J I M Y.

Spike was taught to respect the dead by Dr. Kelson. The cult he joined defiles and disrespects the dead.
