Danny Boyle's "28 years later" approaches being one of Best movies with zombies ever done (yes, I know that the ghosts of the screen are not technically Zombies, but "infected", but for all intentions and purposes, they are zombies). Then the end arrives. Do not worry: I will not give spoilers in this review, but it is almost impossible to talk about "28 years later", without noting that the end of the land with a strange spirit.

Because studios cannot be satisfied just to make One Film already, "28 years later" is the first of a brand new trilogy (the second film, titled "28 Years Later: Bone Temple", is expected in January 2026). Thanks to this approach, "28 years later" simply cannot end - Must set the next story. And that's unfortunate, because everything that leads to that moment of setting up the extension table is extraordinary and efficient, resulting in a frightening, horrible and surprising emotional experience. It then arrives an extremely confusing, delirectically stormy coda and leaves bad taste in the mouth.

Are the last minutes of the film enough to sabotage the rest? No, fortunately. But I'm sure I wished they weren't there. I wish Boyle and writer Alex Garland thought to leave well enough and let us just sit down with a powerful saga for horror. Also, I cannot help, but I do not wonder how this region will be played with audience members who do not realize that this is assumed to be the first installment of the trilogy; I could say that some people on my screening, clearly not inserted into this, were extremely confused.

However, practically everything that leads to that moment works and works too well. "28 years later" is the third entrance to a story that began in 2002, where Boyle and Garland teamed up to make "28 days later", post-apocalyptic saga for Britain to be exceeded by blood-produced lunatics infected with something called anger. Those who are attacked by other infected people are infected almost immediately - their eyes are red, they spray blood from their mouths, and immediately begin to attack and kill an unhappy enough to be in their general proximity. "28 days later" was lowered and dirty horror imageShot by Anthony Dodd Mantl's digital digital, with Silian Murphy walking around the eerie abandoned London. "28 days later" was followed by the "28 weeks later" sequel. Boyle did not return to direct that film, and Garland only contributed to a copy.

Now, the original team (including mantle) has come back, and they have just improved in the formula. While "28 years later" does not have the same grainy digital vibration as the original, Boyle and coat become creative, using all kinds of tricks and visual hand to catch the viewer from the guard. Boyle and editor Jonon Harris will often split up in stock shots and footage of other films in the middle of the scene, and there are times of violence calling for the "bullet time" effect used so unforgettable in the "matrix", where the image will freeze, so that the camera can froze. It is tricky and unique, and it was constantly making me uncomfortable in the best possible way.

After the brutal prologue that does not waste time to release the heinous images, "28 years later" decreases at the heart of matter. As the title suggests, it has been 28 years since the virus was released, and the outbreak is contained by quarantine the UK and cutting off the rest of the world (Garland's script later haules home the point that the outside world has essentially moved like a zombie horde).

An island community has learned to live in harmony, cut off from the mainland. Helps that the island is only available through a highway that disappears when the tide enters. It leaves the bed.

The community has a custom in which young people are heading to the land for hunting trip. However, they do not hunt the game - they are infected. Spike and Jameimi head, bows and arrows in hand, and the trip does not go exactly as planned. Through this first hour of the film, Boyle builds almost unbearable tension, stabbed by bursts with bloody violence. The infected evolved overtime, and they became alive, naked Astsons' waking up, guided by Hulking's leaders known as Alpha. They also seem to be more intelligent than previous films they released.

During the hunting expedition, Spike learns of a mysterious, potentially crazy doctor (eventually playing perfectly by Ralph Fienne) who lives in isolation, and the boy gets him in the head that this medical man can cure whatever his mother is affected. Hence the second trip begins, with Spike and Isla going out to find the doctor, risking life and limbs in the process. All said, "28 years later" is a surprisingly simple affair: there is no fierce scheme, except for Spike's hope that she can save his mother.

This sets a disarming emotional bow that you really don't see in movies like this. Comer, one of the best actors around now, is not enough to do here, but there is tenderness between the mother and the son who carry the film away. Don't be surprised if "28 years later" made you cry. This mixture of incessant fuss and real, honest emotion is so unlike everything I have used to watch in a zombie movie, and the "28 years later" at the heights I didn't expect. What is the reason why the last moments So damn frustrating.

Again: No spoilers, I swear. All I say is that the tone of these last moments is completely contrary to everything that came before, to the point that we felt as if we were stumbled into a completely different movie. Maybe that's the point, from the upcoming sequel "28 years later: Bone Temple" is A completely different movie, with a different director (Rebooting director "Candiman" Nia Dacosta stays). Deliberately or not, this scene is discouraging, to the point that I wish Boyle would be stuck later as a post-credit scene instead of stuck in the main film.

The end is a massive disappointment, but it can't get everything that came before. Boyle and his team created a kind of sensory overload-mixture of violence, mixed media and often a nasty soundtrack turning along with a feverish effect. "28 years later" is also scary And Touching, and it's not easy to achieve. It is impressive, efficient and memorable. But one had to tell Boyle to kneak that final.
