【28 Years Later' is like watching The Emperor's New Clothes play out in modern movie marketing】 I'm a huge fan of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, and 28 Days Later is hands-down one of my all-time favorite zombie films. It's a classic-gritty, deeply British in its storytelling, and almost carries a disdain for traditional commercial cinema. I still remember that moment in the film when the characters are traveling through the countryside, and Ave Maria plays in the background. It's hauntingly beautiful, spiritual even-offering a breath of calm and reflection in a story soaked with blood and brutality. But 28 Years Later… the problem isn't just that it looks like it was shot on a smartphone. It's that the entire plot feels like a zombie-themed fairy tale for adults-or maybe even a mutated cousin of Wicked: Part I? Maybe this is meant to be the first act of a bigger trilogy, and maybe the next two films will blow us away with some wild narrative expansion… but honestly? I'm just exhausted. The way Sony Pictures has been hyping this film across all media platforms, like they're trying to convince us it's a masterpiece-it's insulting. Do they think the audience is blind? I didn't expect that in 2025, we'd still be getting force-fed films like this. And writing all this just makes me miss the raw, uncompromising brilliance of 28 Days Later even more. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
