your honest opinion? please be detailed
Saw this on Saturday.

Legitimately the hardest movie ever for me to give a score to.

I have to see it again before I rate it.

The first 45 minutes or so I had it at an 11/10. Then it dropped down to a 7/10.

It lies somewhere in between.

Going to see it again tomorrow, this time .. High as fukk.

Final score coming then.

But this movie is DIFFERENT.

will rate it tonight.

They really bait and switch you with a nonsensical art house movie after the 1st 45 minutes.

So many plot holes, needed another 45 minutes, and turned out to be 1 hour 55 minute advert for the sequel.

I enjoyed it, but I will not argue with anyone if they felt super disappointed by it. I think when part 2 comes out. It'll probably feel evident that they didn't need to be two separate films.

This film doesn't do enough to stand on its own as a new trilogy. I hope the sequel can make up for it in January

We just got back. I'm cross posting a little bit here but I enjoyed it for what it was and once we

Get deeper into it and Murphy comes in...

I think it'll fall into place. I did not know this information beforehand so she had to tell me afterwards lol I was about to get pissed in there.

I have enjoyed the worldbuilding. I think it's a definite step up from '28 Weeks Later' which I think is just "ok"

some clockwork orange fukery? cause that sh!t reminded me of the cat lady scene
Jimmy Savile was a famous English TV host that was exposed as a PDF file, with hundreds of abuse allegations against that the BBC allegedly covered up. I’m guessing that the writer interprets the scene as chilling as a Spike who’s only 12 years old comes across a group that clearly idolise him. Not sure if this would work in this timeline as Jimmy Savile was exposed as a PDF file in 2012 and in the 28 days/years later universe, the UK has gone to shyt for a long time by 2012 so Savile may not have been exposed. But it is a weird thing to put in the film considering how toxic his name is now.

Upon rewatching it a second time... 9/10.

Cinematography is the best and most unique i've seen in years
