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

[Poetical Poltergeist]

The third act was pretty bad (I will admit) but I always hated the 3rd act of the original movie as well. Overall though? I was impressed.... But that ending in this current film? Nah.....

Is it just an ending that provides no closure or is it a ridiculous kind of ending where you scratch your head and question what were they thinking?

This film was all over the place. Felt like a bunch of interesting ideas strung together. The world building here is weak and raises more questions than it answers. I really enjoyed the first hour, great tension and great camera work. But then it got weird and I just didn’t buy many of the decisions that the characters made, which took me out of the movie. I also did not like the stylistic direction Boyle took with the kills and inter mixing of old images and film within new scenes. Again those things took me out of the movie because they felt too heavy handed. And the last two minutes were ridiculous, but it did make me laugh so I guess that’s something. Really disappointed though overall. 5/10

Damn. So I should just wait for it to hit FX now yall ripping this to shreds I thought Danny did it again

Should have had the ending be the post credit scene instead.

...... the ending is not a cliffhanger . . . it just feels like a scene from a completely different movie / genre . . . kills the vibe that was established up to that point . .

Im supposed to see this tonite but seeing a lot of people saying the 3rd act is wack.

I think ima wait till hits the streams. Idk. Gonna be a game time decision.

I think you see it on streams and form the opinion off that.

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

I agree with some of those nitpicks I will say tho that doesn’t necessarily make it a bad film because you disagree with the creative direction. Objectively the only thing bad was

Spoiler

the sudden & convenient inclusion of the soldiers, the tonal shift of the ending and the CGI in the water

when they were trying to get back home.

bro.. i had the EXACT same feeling lol i never felt the urge to leave a movie more in my life

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

That last 10 mins felt out of place. Everything before felt somewhat grounded but that last 10 mins felt like something out of a Guy Ritchie movie.

Film going Zack Synder terrority with the 2 hour 1st act disguised as a film

 

[Jazzy B.]

It's a good movie.


But it lacks an ICONIC moment like the first two movies had.

But then again the last 3 minutes might make it iconic but for the wrong reasons

just not what I desire from a zombie movie, not enough zombie action, story got wierd

This had the most zombie action of all three movies breh

 

[FlyRy]

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.

I thought they were going for a John Wick 2 style ending.

Then you know what happened which felt like it was from alternate reality
