28 Years Later
Directed by Danny BoyleHet is bijna drie decennia geleden dat het Rage-virus ontsnapte uit een laboratorium voor biologische wapens, en er is nog steeds een strikt voorgeschreven quarantaine van kracht. Sommige mensen hebben manieren gevonden om te midden van de geïnfecteerden te bestaan. Een van die groepen overlevenden woont op een klein eiland dat met het vasteland is verbonden door een enkele, zwaar verdedigde verhoogde weg. Wanneer een van de bewoners het eiland verlaat om het donkere binnenland van het vasteland binnen te dringen, ontdekt hij geheimen, wonderen en verschrikkingen en dat niet alleen de geïnfecteerden, maar ook de overlevenden zijn gemuteerd.
28 Years Later Ratings & Reviews
- OdinTheRavenKing3 dgn geleden## Synopsis 28 years after the rage virus has devastated the UK, survivors live on an island just off the cost. A father and son go to the mainland for supplies which allowed the son to see secrets, wonders, and the mutated horrors. ## Review For a series that is based pure on the fear of zombies and jump scenes, this movie is not in line with that. The tension is the thing that is done so very well. You have the alphas that are incredibly smart and strong with a drive you don't get from the other zombies. Actually, I don't think they ever called them zombies in the previous movies so that is for sure a change. The story is what feels off. You can feel that it is written for a trilogy rather than just a single movie. This means that this is a slow movie. I have a feeling that it is designed to set up the world, which much like [[Captain America The First Avenger]], it has to happen, but I don't like it. In a world where cell phones are attached to our hips, the pacing of this movie makes people look to their phone listening rather than watching. Thankfully I was stuck on a plane. I think the acting is outstanding. I really think that each person we see we get a real sense of who they are and their beliefs in the world. The belief of drive of a child who only thinks through the next step and not all the next ones. The Dad who has seen horror and isn't thinking about anything than himself. Then there is the Mom who is doing their best to keep their mind in place. ## [My Rating] My chief complaint is the style and story. It is written for a longer story rather than telling a single story. Trilogies movies like [[Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace]] and [[Batman Begins]] being one part of a trilogy, it tells a complete story. You can watch that, finish it, and feel satisfied about what you got. This doesn't do that. The style also has snippets of [[28 Days Later]], but doesn't deliver on the fear and horror that that movie put on everyone that allowed for the rest of them. Was I entertained? Yeah, I am interested in the story and want to continue it, but it isn't a complete story. Wildly, I am giving it an 8 as it is well shot, well told, and well acted, but the story is for sure missing some items. ## [Parental Rating] Tons of language, a quick sex scene with nothing shown, and the obvious excessive violence and blood. There is also a live birth scene, which is something I did not expect to see or write, but it does play a part in this. Of yeah, I almost forgot, nudity everywhere. Just a bunch of naked people running around the UK basically. Lots of things swinging around. This is another easy recognition of rejected by both.

- RipLinesMan29 april 2025Event Horizon (1997) may have carved its legacy with cosmic horror and madness aboard a haunted spaceship, but 28 Years Later proves that terror can evolve just as savagely on Earth. Danny Boyle returns to the virus-ravaged world he helped define, and the result is a masterclass in tension, world-building, and dread that eclipses its predecessors. Jodie Comer leads with steely brilliance as Isla, anchoring a cast that includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s driven Jamie and Jack O’Connell as the tormented Jimmy Crystal. But it’s the young Alfie Williams as Spike who unexpectedly steals scenes with raw vulnerability. Ralph Fiennes brings gravitas as Dr. Kelson, and Erin Kellyman’s mysterious Jimmy Ink adds fire and unpredictability. Where Event Horizon dives inward—into the psyche and the soul—28 Years Later expands outward, exploring a world scarred by the rage virus, now mutated in ways both terrifying and tragic. The mainland holds more than infected threats; it’s a broken mirror of humanity, reflecting what survives after decades of ruin. With a haunting score, unflinching violence, and existential questions layered beneath the bloodshed, this film is both a brutal survival story and an emotional epic.
- Splitvision8916 april 2026I will never understand the hype of this series. This one is better that the first two but that's not saying much. I lol'ed when I saw the track suit wearing parkour zombie hunter.
- diegodarn25 maart 2026Prob one of the worst movies ive seen in decades
- Lasse Viinikainen23 maart 2026Fills an acute 28 something -need.
- DJMOK22 juni 2025Waited 18yrs for this pile trash?! Holy crap this movie was sooo bad. I honestly don’t know what the hell i just watched. The music played during intense scenes were so out of place. It looks like the whole movie was filmed using a phone. The story made no sense and it was so confusing.
- Michael Heimgartner6 juli 2025A Disappointing Return After So Many Years – Missed Potential Everywhere Danny Boyle is back in the director’s chair. Alex Garland on the script. On paper, that sounds like a dream team for 28 Years Later. What could go wrong, right? Well… apparently a lot. I know the international reviews are largely positive, but after my screening, the audience’s reaction was pretty clear: disappointment. And I’m right there with them. This just didn’t work for me at all. Let’s start with the premise itself. We’ve waited so long for a sequel. Boyle and Garland always said they’d only return if they had the right script. This is the story they landed on? Seriously? It feels like such a letdown. The infected (and yes, they’re not zombies, I know) are basically window dressing this time. There’s no real tension or threat like in the previous films. The father-son dynamic, with Jamie as the lead, just fell flat for me. Jamie is consistently unsympathetic, making it hard to care about his journey at all. The island group is equally bland, with motivations that make them difficult to root for or even understand. Spike, one of the main characters, acts so unbelievably stupid at times that I genuinely facepalmed in the theater. As for the mother-son subplot? Totally forgettable and emotionally hollow. Ralph Fiennes was the highlight for me – his character is cryptic, magnetic, and actually interesting. But even he’s criminally underused. The pacing is a huge issue. The first act drags like old chewing gum stuck to a shoe. When the story finally "gets going," it does so with such an eye-rollingly dumb inciting event that it completely took me out of it. The climax is worse: it descends into tonal chaos that feels like a total misfire. I just sat there at the end thinking: What the hell did I just watch? Then there’s the visual style. I get that Boyle loves his grainy, raw aesthetic. But the iPhone-level film quality? The weird, wannabe-artsy interludes? They clashed horribly with the supposed gritty realism. Instead of feeling immersive, it felt cheap and jarring. And don’t get me started on the infected scenes – they looked almost trashy, lacking the visceral intensity and detail that made the originals so iconic. Where 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later excelled in mood, dread, and world-building, this film remains vague, half-baked, and unfocused. After a 28-year time jump, I expected more exploration of what had changed in that world. Instead, we get empty suggestions and lots of open questions with no satisfying answers. Honestly, this is my biggest disappointment of the year so far. The trailer was incredible, and my expectations were sky-high. But this sequel feels like a rushed, underdeveloped cash-in that squanders the talent involved. There was so much potential here – and they missed it completely.

- Mr720 maart 2026Possibly the most misunderstood and miss-marketed sequels of ALL time. I disliked this movie so much I almost didn't watch The Bone Temple. I'm glad I did. I now think The Bone Temple should have been released first. Watching it and then coming back and watching this made it so much better. Like most I was marketed a direct sequel by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. That's not what this is. Not at least until you watch The Bone Temple. Which ties both movies together and ties them to the original. It also makes you care about the characters in this movie and makes it feel more developed. This should have been a prequel/sequel. I now love this movie. Better written, directed, acted and shot than Sinners and by FAR. I would recommend to everyone if you have not seen this and you have not seen The Bone Temple, watch The Bone Temple first and go into it with the mindset it's a spin off more than a sequel.
- Niztradamus20 augustus 2025This is not a 28 movie. This is a coming of age movie with zombies. I don't know what to tell you other than it's entertaining enough to keep you to the end but it's not particularly good. There is no logic in this movie either. There is a benzine explosion happening within an inclosed space yet the explosion somehow doesn't travel three feet (about one meter) down. That is not how physics work and there are endless examples like that in this movie. The ending is nothing short of grotesque too. It's setting up a sequel while also completely changing the tone which is what made this franchise special in the first place. It's like a DJ in a night club plays hard street rap and then shifts to classical the next song. By now I expect the sequel to be more a Scott Pilgrim movie than an 28 movie. I want to give it 2.5 stars since it was somewhat entertaining though I think an average rating is giving the movie too much credit. 2 stars.
- Marcelo Scatena23 juli 2025It did what it wanted to do really well. Beautifully shot and has a few wonderful and subtle messages. I didn't connect with it, but I loved what it stood for.
- macaronz17 maart 2026Somehow I liked it something fresh into Zombies franchise. Let's see how's the second part.
- j.pete616 maart 2026Lmao that ending. Where the hell is this going. Idk, but I'm along for the ride. The multiple angles on the phone cameras make for some weird shots/edits, but hey I like the experiment. Could've held off a bit on the constant jumpcuts though.
- Tyco30 september 2025Nothing like the original. For me it was a waste of time.
