If one year of COVID quarantine made us weird, imagine 28 plus rage zombies. ‘Days’ reinvented the genre. ‘Weeks’ did nothing. ‘Years’ is Danny Boyle & Alex Garland getting freaky with the franchise. The ending will divide audiences, but it tees up a sequel set for Jan 2026, and a 3rd if these 2 make money.

I give it a 7. The ending is a jarring tonal shift, but I’m open to seeing where it leads. If the sequel isn’t great, it might retroactively lower this one’s score. I’d give ‘Days’ an 8.5 and ‘Weeks’ a 4 — to compare. I rewatched both recently and enjoyed ‘Weeks’ much more than I remembered. I think it suffered from high expectations coming out of ‘Days’, but, going into it with low expectations and a fuzzy memory, it was fine; its opening scene is, perhaps, the franchise peak, despite the rest of the movie falling far short of that standard.
