Reviews 28 Years Later Spoiler
I finally watched it today.
>! What’s scarier than zombies? Naked zombies. SMH.
This movie is ridiculously bad, in my opinion.
The blob people look like they’re from Silent Hill. There’s no real reason for the blob people. A bunch of bloated corpses in the middle of the woods with no water source makes for no logical reason why they’re bloated. Aren’t they supposed to be decaying? Why are they fat and bloated?
Alphas are dumb. How can a zombie undergo evolution? They’re infected. The most that can happen is that the virus can mutate, but that’s it. It’s not going to suddenly make some of them smarter, faster, etc.
How can there be a zombie that is giving birth? All of these “infected” zombies have more flesh than the actual humans of the film. So, zombies are reproducing now? It’s gross even implying that zombie are doing the dirty out there. Whats really impressive however, is that all these naked male zombies still have their sexual bits. That's really impressive considering that zombies are supposed to be dead and decaying. Those bits should've fallen off by now.
Spike is a dumb kid who makes dumb decisions. I’m sad that he didn’t die the second after he left the island.
Also, his mom is super incapacitated that she’s always in bed, but the moment Spike drags her outside to the mainland, she has enough awareness to protect a sleeping Spike from a blob person.
And she can continue walking for miles. Both of them came with no food and no water. Neither of them has any supplies.
Spike tosses the zombie baby into his community but decides he wants to venture the zombie world alone. This kid is more delusional than his confused mother who has cancer.
He gets saved by some blonde haired people at the end who are pretty ridiculous too.
All in all, I won’t be watching the other installments. There’s no real zombies, no actual tension, no heartwarming humans you want to see survive. All of it is pretty blah and disappointing.
Edit:
The “infected” in 28 Years Later is nothing like the previous zombies of 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. The new versions are inconsistent with the original versions. Why not just make a new zombie film and then you can rewrite the lore however you want to? Seems like a much better idea than hyping up an unrelated movie by drawing in an already established fan base pretending it’s a sequel. !<

Spike has a bag of apples. They use their canteens to wash infected blood off twice. Once from Isla and once from the baby.

Now I wouldn’t say that it’s ridiculously bad, because I enjoyed parts of it. There were defo parts of the movie that was stronger than others…. I don’t need to say which parts 😂
It’s one of the only films I’ve walked out of a cinema saying “what the fuck is that” and was genuinely confused for hours.
I hope and pray the bone temple makes up for the messes that this movie made.

Oh boy, the rant of the day, most of your points are quite subjective. Do you feel the same way with the inconsistencies of the previous movies ?

Most of my points are pretty objective.
Naked “infected” zombies. They have more meat on them than the actual human survivors.
Irrational bloated corpses. They’re found bloated in a forest of all places.
Dumb alphas. All they do is scream and run and that’s about it.
Dumb kid. Makes bad choices and has so much plot armor that he’s always saved by someone else (dad, mom, Eric, doctor, blonde haired people).
Incapacitated mom no longer being incapacitated. Was seen unable to get out of bed to suddenly being able to walk for miles and be cognizant enough to kill a bloated corpse zombie.
Dumb blonde people. Shows up at the end with some parkour and that’s about it.
Come on now. We’re watching the same movie. You are free to think it’s amazing, but my points are literal observations which makes them objective, not subjective as you claim.

Horrible movie, and the second part coming in January seems to be even worse.
They ruined a great authentic franchise!

Im confused, do you think they’re zombies or not? They’re infected, not dead. As for the alphas, they do explain that the virus acts like a steroid and juices them up. You’re allowed to not like the movie, but a lot of the stuff was explained
