She looks like she fucking hates everything about the West while simultaneously bringing in her 98 cousins and siblings.
Oh. Ive seen this one. A pregnant black woman will be carrying a baby that is immune. The hope for peoplekind. and peepo gotta escort her. Probably some evil predominantly white christian cult tries to eliminate her.
That's a ridiculous caricature of a DIE writer's output.
Obviously, the Christian cult would be exclusively white. It'll just be predominantly male.
Its like that clive olsen, movie children of men.
Owens, Clive Owens
Black women the masters of failing upwards.
All while screaming about white privilege..
"28 Weeks Later ended on a major cliffhanger, hinting at a third film, which many started calling 28 Months Later. Now, almost 17 years after the release of the previous film, the third movie has finally been announced with a new name: 28 Years Later."
Haha, entire franchise sucks. The first movie had a good set up but had a middling ending. The rest is just Americans trolling and everyone moving on.
28 days later "white men are you the real monsters"
Sunshine was pretty great until it turned into "religion is bad" moralizing at the midpoint.
If you're watching a Boyle movie just turn it off halfway through.
I remember Sunshine having a disappointing ending but it's been so long. :')
To be fair, this was the result of Boyle and the other lead writer butting heads big time about the direction of the movie. It was kind of the Bruce Strayley vs Neil Druckmann situation. But I can't remember which one was in favour of ruining the film for the religious messaging? But Boyle and the other guy had a big falling out about it. First half was definitely awesome -- if memory serves, I think Boyle wanted to do away with the Hellraiser/Event Horizon evil captain and focus on the sun stuff.
couldn't agree more. they were not good movies. the setup was not good.
28 Current Years Later
I really lost interest after 28 weeks, there were too many dumb decisions to just cause action scenes to happen that it threw me out of it.
28 days was a lot better since the decisions actually made sense and were believable.
I remember that the military respond to the containment breach (which happens because the one guy gets infected from his wife who is a carrier) by forcing everyone out of their apartments and into one big room where, IIRC, they also then turn the lights off for some reason. Naturally, that big room gets attacked and since everyone is confined into it, the rage virus spreads like wild. It was some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen in a movie trying to be serious.
Yeah especially when THEY HAVE SNIPERS ON THE ROOFTOPS!
You have them barricade in their apartments as they sweep floor to floor, the snipers can kill any infected that manage to break through to the apartments.
Or leaving the carrier unguarded so her partner can just come in and get infected.
I know right, the amount of women who would die during pregnancy and childbirth, along with infant mortality, would go back up to 1800s levels without basic medical care. The odds of a pregnant woman surviving the apocalypse and then surviving birth would be pretty low. I also think about half of all children used to die before age 5, so back to survival of the fittest.
The dumbest part is the lack of security around the lone found survivor who looks immune. The caretaker just walks in and kisses her without anyone providing resistance? I mean the scientist in the first movie provided greater resistance to the animal activist.
Except the ending sucked.
It was meh, the alternate ending was he died in a hospital after escaping the military and they had another ending but they actually stopped it at storyboarding as it required draining all the blood and putting in new blood and they actually went 'how the fuck are you going to do that?!?'
Second installment of the trilogy? So 28 days later wasn't the first and 28 weeks later wasn't it's sequel, making this one the third and final installment?
You know... If you can't even get that info right, why should anyone else care.
Yeah it's confusing and stupid but apparently they're making a "new trilogy" even though there have already been 2 movies, and she is directing the 2nd of that new trilogy (e.g. the 4th overall)
Okay, that does make more sense.
Although honestly, this movie series died off with the first one, and most of us were just curious about how they would continue the character's story, and how long it'd take the zombies to starve to death in the second one.
To my knowledge they didn't even answer either one of those in a fulfilling way. But it has been a few years since I've seen 28 weeks later, so I could be remembering wrong.
If it's any consolation, it was never going to be good. Not every movie needs to be turned into a goddamn trilogy or franchise. Especially zombie movies. And this is coming from someone who liked 28 Days Later.
Just assume everything modern is going to be woke trash by default and you'll never be disappointed
Entertaining how they're immediately trying to bring it back straight into a trilogy.
They don't even know how the "first" Danny Boyle one will be received, 28 days was an exceptional film (let down only by them filming it in a digital format) with 28 weeks being a bit of a weaker sequel. It should've ended there.
If the first one flops, I doubt she'd direct the sequel.
The second one was garbage. The entire plot was only moved forward by characters being retarded. Character motivation was solely defined by them doing whatever retarded bullshit was needed to make the story happen.
My co-worker said that last Candyman was horrible. She is another director who can’t shut up about race or girl power. I could’ve respected her if she would’ve admitted the Marvels bombed because they don’t understand the audience.
Don't know about the film, but the giant tarantula on her head is scary enough.
Oh it looks diseased enough. Like a plague could ooze out of it.
Sheeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...
I understand the naming convention but according to the rules established by the films 28 years later shouldn't happen.
What does “directing” even mean nowadays?
Make everything the same except worse and use a black lesbian as lead actor and all the baddies are huwhitey nazis.
There, you are a modern movie director.
"We waz zombie hunters and sheet!"
