Marines served no purpose in this film. Very lazy writing.
The first half was great, then it gets worse but forgivable, but soon as marine scene gets introduced...it becomes unforgivably bad. Completely random, that one remaining guy...they would have exploded in the gas station if that situation happened lol another lazy writing, then he provides that corny forced up comedy relief for a bit. I understand movies need some comedy once in a while, but not this bad.
The movie is less than two hours and already has some unnecessary scenes. Whatever they have in a sequel they should have just fit everything in less than 3 hours in one film and made it to movie theaters.

At the theater about to see this shyt and had to come bytch on the coli right quick because some stupid fukk is sitting in my seat so now I have to sit in someone else's seat until of course they come looking for their seat making me move so now I'm going to have to get my original seat back doing the fukkin shuffle in a dark theater when these stupid bytches could've just sat in the correct seats in the first fukkin place.
I hate people so much. I'm going to enjoy watching a lot of them die in surround sound on ultra screen

Do the world governments really want to deal with the potential radioactivity fallout spreading their way due to the wind and storm patterns? Because its going to take a couple of Nukes. Maybe it spreads as far as the East Coast of America and to the Caribbean? Its definitely spreading to the North Pole and anywhere close by East and South of the UK.
It's far cheaper and simpler to make it a no go zone.
nukes are expensive and those natives have no way to leave the area so why bother?
Feel the same as most in the thread.
First half had me like
Second half me like
let me guess the baby and bone monuments scared you off?[/spolier]

Precise and cold hearted
I've seen it twice now - I Wasn't able to rate it after a first viewing. Its the hardest time I've had rating a film maybe ever 
After all that hype and anticipation (28 Years Later is one of my top films ever), I had to actually pinch myself that I was watching 28 Years fukking Later after more than 2 decades. For me, this is one of those Holy shyt I'm playing Half Life 3 moments, but in film.
On my first viewing, for the first.. I'd say.. 45 minutes, this was legitimately an 11/10. Cinematography was fukking mind boggling, it looked different than any other film, there was crazy stop motion kill shots, the iPhone look was awesome. The soundtrack, the quick cuts to old War footage and .. That awesome fukking chase scene. If the whole movie was that .. Straight up 11/10.
But then the tone slowly, but surely started to change to something less .. Bleak and cold - Which to me is what made the first film so memorable. That world was dark as hell. terrifying.
In this, the community they had made it feel more Walking Deadish - everyone was safe behind those walls. That to me right away puts this at a disadvantage because the tone of the film to is right away going to be less bleak. I felt the doctor having a tranquilizer dart he spits at the Alpha was kind of cartoonish. On my first viewing.. All of these thoughts came into my mind while watching, and I was distracted.
I didn't know whether I thought it was 7/10 or 12/10. It was legitimately both.
Then.. On my second viewing.. I got none of that. Everything made sense, the tonal shift didn't bother me, because i felt it went along with the story this time.
Cinematography, chase scene, editing, acting (another great child actor) went up to a 12 - The other stuff now made sense.
So with that said
... 9/10.
Thats where I land finally.
Especially knowing theres a sequel dropping in January. That weird ending will make much more sense come January

Weeks is enjoyable for the intro scene & the tension but yea the movie was basically a popcorn straight to dvd flick.
I really don’t understand the heavy criticism of this movie after finally watching it a second time. Even the ending at first had me wtf, but It’s just a bridge to the sequel film.
The way this movie uses pace, is deliberate as opposed to other films that just slow it down or throw in action just because. People aren’t watching this in good faith because of how it was marketed and they wanted a tone to replicate 28 Weeks Later.
I’m gonna vent real quick.
Too many times moviegoers judge a film based on what they wanted instead of taking the vision of what the director gave them. Just because we got tonal shifts doesn’t mean it’s bad or inconsistent, it just means certain scenes required more frantic and other scenes required less of it. Movies are art, they aren’t these 1:1 assembly line products that you need perfect lighting, perfect plot structure, impeccable and flawless graphics, some of yall are turning into elitists. Relax with the movie terminology that you picked up in a YouTube video 10 years ago and just enjoy a movie instead of looking for flaws because you disagree with a vision.
Boyle really directed a masterclass & took liberties with a mainstream blockbuster that doesn’t happen anymore. Very sublime.
It felt like a book in how each tone made sense to the story, great job.
8.5
I'm really with you on almost everything you said but there were certain scenes that could have just been done better, flat out. The whole infected childbirth was pretty ridiculous and could have been executed better. Also you can't END the movie on a dumbass scene because it really leaves a sour taste in the viewers' mouths.
They could have bridged the movie in a more serious tone than having the mighty morphin zombie rangers flipping around being all comical n sht
I think 7/10 is fair, 7.5 at best.
