28 Years Later Trilogy
- Thread starter Kyo
- Start date
Think this was announced before 28 Years Later actually released.
Next one is out January 2026 - 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. And then a 3rd film will be out at some point after that.
They've turned a trilogy into another trilogy unfortunately.
Can't wait for the trilogyilogyilogy.
And it will also mean seeing the Jimmy Saviles again, so no thanks.

ow's about that, then
Now then, now then, now then. I’ve got a letter here from Spike from Lindisfarne, and he says “Dear Jim, I’ve just been chased up and down Scotland by a zombie with a big dong and then a mad doctor cremated my mum and put her skull on his ossuary. Please can you fix it for me to get rescued from all this malarkey by a gang of multicoloured tracksuit ninjas.”
That scene with his mum, I half expected there to be a microwave ping. Such nonsense. ‘Oh, thanks for that.’
I seriously wonder whether anybody actually enjoyed this film. Hyped in the run up to the film release, which resulted in a disappointment of the year.
I enjoyed the opening, tailed off in the middle and less said about the end the better.
It was garbage.
Yup yep yeppers. Nia DaCosta directed this one though, but still I don't think DB's direction was the issue.

What happened at the end? It was fine for me? Did you sit on the remote and change channels to 'Jim'll Fix It Ninja Warriors' or something?

Interest certainly waned in the franchise now, especially after being able to rewatch this on small screen. Hell, I'm feeling far less negative about 28 Weeks Later now despite its faults!
At least that still felt like a proper "28" film, they seem to have went in an odd direction with this universe. Almost like they took it personally that "Weeks" felt less British and more American film and went full wanna be cult gritty Trainspotting/Orange Clockwork vibe.
Except none of that worked at all, I found camera work odd, cinematography and editing questionable with random cuts and music interjecting in places. Story just ended up a poor coming of age tale that happens to have "infected" in it? Really wasn't as deep as it was trying to be, could see what they were trying to do but none of it landed.
I could pick plenty of scenes apart but ultimately the feel of first 2 films is completely gone.
Biggest flaws for me is the scenes with the infected, encounters actually felt ferrying and visceral in nature with that primal fear and rage from either side. Apart from maybe the start, here those scenes ranged from comical to what in the Jimmy Saville is going on.
