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
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
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.

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 :mjlol:

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 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 :dahell:

:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

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 ":banderas: 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

:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

Then the garish Euro Ninjas do some B-Movie acrobatics
:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

You can't be fukkin serious with this slapdash bullshyt
