Screens

A place to talk about movies, TV and videos on Farcaster.

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.

28 YEARS LATER tldr review:
Did the screenwriter die mid-movie?
Verdict: 5/10

On a longer note, 

The first 1/2 of the film:
had me at the edge of my seat
10/10 tension
10/10 cinematography 
10/10 story

The second 1/2 of the film, 
1/10 tension
10/10 cinematography 
2/10 story 

WTAF was that godawful ending??

This will be a popular opinion -- and it's not wrong. The first half of the movie is more-or-less what you'd expect, and it's good, and it's satisfying. Then it shifts and becomes something else, which will add a whole new layer for some audiences, and annoy others. Personally, I liked the shift; that's when it became a real film in my mind, and not just a solid zombie movie sequel. But then there's an even starker shift at the very end that I'm taking a "wait-and-see" approach to. I'm also a little worried that Danny Boyle isn't directing the next sequel (because he was busy wrapping this one), so it could really feel out-of-place. This is what happened from '28 Days' to '28 Weeks Later' -- a different director and a very different vibe.
