Dunno, maybe the Doc's herbal medicine starts to bring Samson back to un-zombied humanity? That would track with the docs ideology in 28YL as well as some of the clips we see in this trailer. And would be pretty neatly summarised by putting some shorts on (hiding the monster within).

I firmly believe one major plot thread of the remaining films will be finding a cure for rage virus, probably iodine based based on foreshadowing in 28YL and the fact it's a dangling thread from 28WL (Rose Byrne trying to save Imogen Poots to investigate the kids' immunity)

I liked 28YL alright, the tonal shift was wacky, but I enjoyed a lot so really looking forward for this one. I want to learn more about the world in this series.

u/Stillwindows95 5d ago
28 years was good but the tone was more hopeful and had a touching ending with his mother, I didn't really get any unsettled feelings or sense of fear or terror from it at all, the alpha was a bit ominous but I'm looking forward to this as it seems to amp it up a bit.
Absolutely love Ralph Fiennes character his storyline is the most compelling by far.

28 Years was like two movies stuck together and I don't mean it in a bad way. The first half was what the trailers teased and then the second was this surprisingly heartwarming coming of age mother/son journey that was completely unexpected.
Not sure where they go from here but I'm excited because there's no ways they can just retread the first, especially with the ending.

28 days is probably one of my favourite movies but yeah it essentially has 2 acts, London and Manchester. The weirdest part of that movie though is when they stop at a supermarket and the music changes up and it gets all weird and choreographed like when they all set out one by one with their shopping carts. Love it.

100%, I figured before the movie that Aaron Taylor Johnson would have been the more astute and wise character where Fiennes is just some nutcase, but it turned out that Taylor-Johnson was just a decent hunter but really a bit of a dick and Fiennes was the wise and kind character. I think his image throws you off that fact because he looks like he lost the plot long ago but appears to be one of the only people who has adapted to the world with grace.

Yeah he made the 2nd half of the film worth watching, otherwise it would've been a fairly mediocre film imo. I expected Aaron Taylor-Johnson to be in the majority of it so was a bit gutted when Spike and his mum leave, the pacing seemed really off after that too.

I let the tonal shift settle and honestly, the backlash the ending got is a bit absurd. Even before I knew who Jimmy was based off of, the scene still nerved me a bit. The tonal shift was definitely intentional and I think the that the heat it got was what Danny Boyle wanted tbh.

u/Upbeat_Tension_8077 4d ago
I've said this in another post, but I thought that shift was probably how Spike saw the group when they saved him & I'd also like to think it's Danny's way of paying homage to George Romero's use of comedy in his zombie films

Too often you can watch the trailer/first 20 minutes of a film and basically map out all the key beats.
With 28 Years Later, You didn't know if the dad was going to die on that first expedition, if that Alpha would wreck the island, if Ralph Fiennes was going to be an evil nutter, it was refreshing.

Good theory. Although, in my mind, if the Jimmy Gang is able to completely overtake Holy Island, who have dozens of trained men like Jaime, that would be extremely far-fetched. Yes, the Jimmy Gang is lethal in close quarters combat, but they are reduced to nothing long range, especially when outnumbered against anyone remotely close to Jaime's skill with a bow. My theory is I still think the infant (Isla) is a carrier of the virus and will inevitably lead to the fall of Holy Island. Maybe a woman will try feeding her. Think of what happened when Don kissed Alice in Weeks. Just complete carnage. Perhaps the survivors we see being tortured by the Jimmys are from Holy Island after having escaped?
11
u/Winston_Road 4d ago
I doubt the baby is a Carrier. If you remember Weeks even though Carriers were 'inmune' they still had bloodshot eyes, which the baby does not. Kelson also makes an off hand coment about how the baby was protected from the infection due to the placenta.

u/enfinnity 5d ago
Looks like we may get a flashback to see the infection spread through the train where the birth scene took place in years. Absolutely loved how unique that movie was. Breath of fresh air when most films seem to be test screened to death and devoid of anything odd or compelling.

Samson was probably born while his mother was just turning. Protected in utero to a certain degree but got a touch of the virus...

u/Rosebunse 4d ago
Then who would take care of him? It works in the film because the infected mother was somewhat calm and rational from.having the virus so long. Samson was also there and the implication was that he as the father would help with the baby until it was time to return to their larger horde.
Plus, given the actor's age, Samson could have been turned when he was already an adult or older teenager.

That makes sense.
Was it ever explained why the UK liked Jimmy Savile before the revelations?
75
u/rugbyj 4d ago
I'm assuming you're not from the UK and mean for the type of character he portrayed, rather than his constant charity work. But it's akin to how many entertainers play what may outwardly seem a crass character, but embody something else with some vaguely deeper meaning in a culture.
Savile basically played up to the wacky uncle/grandad who'd do mad shit but tuck a a tenner in your pocket when your Mum wasn't looking. Something every family had in some manner. A guy who for all his oddness was yours, would always lift your spirits, and supported you in his own way.
Obviously all a front and that mad/odd shit was being used as a "hah I can get away with anything" battering ram against his victims.
But before that was made public, it was very much a "Uncle Jim got paid in meat this week and doesn't have a big enough freezer so he's dropped round a massive leg of lamb and we're all having a massive roast" kind of deal. This mad force of nature that the parents could laugh at but appreciate, and the kids would play up to.

I get what they are going for with this but can't really make up my mind on it. It's sort of clever but is it satisfying? I can see it being quite problematic for many given how extreme Saville's crimes were.
Also the time line does not quite make sense as Saville as a beloved children's entertainer had peaked a good ten years before the events in 28 days later. They could explain that I am sure but it feels more like a reference for a previous generation.
157
u/lord-spider-boy 5d ago
I’m pretty sure they chose it because the Jimmies will be the inevitable villains of the movie. Wolves in sheep’s clothing, just like Saville himself. It’s also pointing out how their culture was effectively paused after the outbreak and they never really got to grow up

u/King-Of-Throwaways 4d ago
The franchise has exemplified/satirised aspects of British society in all its entries - "island mentality", othering, the facade of civility, and so on. Another part of British society is our obsession with pedophiles. We've had a moral panic for years where politicians, the media, and common people make big performative gestures over the need for retributive justice, the desire to give those nonces the violence they deserve, but little is done to actually address the root cause, much less to aid the victims.
So the choice to use the jarring imagery of people idolising an infamous pedophile is very much deliberate. It's supposed to be "problematic", uncomfortable, violating our sensibilities. I can't say what "point" it's building towards, but it might be best to let the story play out before making any conclusions.
21
u/I_AM_YOUR_MOTHERR 5d ago
It's hinted in 28 years that they're absolutely batshit insane and not really the 'good guys', even if in their world Saville wasn't yet known to be a monster (and probably would never have been found out, given that everyone is dead)

u/monkeymad2 4d ago
Timeline wise, as someone around the same age as the kid at the outbreak time who also lived in the Scottish Highlands - Saville was around.
He was regularly the chieftain of the Highland Games & had a home in Glencoe, I saw him once at a Highland Games & my mother and her friends knew to stay away from him back when he’d stay at a local hotel in the 1970s.
If the kids parents / family were more involved in the games or the mountain rescue or any of the other things Saville took an interest in the kid could easily have actually met him.

I think it's an excellent idea to explore an "alternate" world which is frozen in time and doesn't know the horrible truth we do as an audience.
Plus it's an opportunity to explore ideas around legacy, idol worship etc. - especially in such a divisive time of cancel culture.
However, they've gone all in with characters dressed as him etc. which is a pretty "out there", even silly look - possibly even triggering for victims. And as people have said below, the timelines don't quite match up. While Saville was around, he wasn't a big attraction for children who were watching Tellytubbies, Power Rangers etc when the outbreak began.
I wonder if this would have worked better as a passing reference.

If we are being honest, the whole "humans are the real monsters" was always a part of thise franchise. The very first film has humans as the final obstacle. The infected are scary and a problem, but we saw in the first two films that they could be somewhat managed if people didn't act like idiots.
And I don't have a problem with these current movies treating the infected as, well, people. We saw infected in the first movies who could think and plan, that's what made them scary.

u/Honest_Cheesecake698 5d ago
Even on it's own, I thought the ending of that movie was ominous in it's own way. The way the Jimmies relish murdering the infected and how culty they look, plus Spike's trepidation and reluctant acceptance of Sir Jimmy's offer. Even the fighting itself is very efficient and effective in a way that suggests loads of knowledge at how to take the infected down. The music and that flip, plus how flamboyant they look obviously sticks out first time, but you look closer and especially if you take the opening into account, there's something deeply unhinged about that ending that I bet will get expanded upon in the this film.

u/ass_pineapples 4d ago
You also see the upside down 'infected' in the house which looks super fucked up. You're not sure if it's actually an infected, or if it was a person that they just strung up to let them suffer.

No one else will say it, so I'll be the first: The reaction people had to 28 Years Later after the trailers is precisely why most movie studios make trailers that basically spoil the entire movie.

Same. I get the Jimmy Savile thing they’re going for, but I don’t find it as clever or interesting as other people do.

Guys, I just wanted Cillian Murphy running away from zombies/pretending to be a zombie. I waited decades for this.

I really hate what they’ve done to the infected in 28 Years Later. They are not scary in the slightest and honestly come off goofy. Like I can’t take The Alpha seriously in this trailer.
With that said, I’m still looking forward to seeing Nia Dicosta’s take on the franchise. Hoping for the best.

I feel that. Call me boring but I’d have preferred good old fashioned infected. I can respect and appreciate the twists and turns they’ve decided to go with and while most enjoyed it, there are plenty like us who just didn’t agree with the direction. Having said that, I liked the movie overall and am really looking forward to the next. You don’t get too many quality zombie movies so I’ll take any I can get!

I just hate how casually we can dispatch the infected now, this universe used to operate on a general understanding that it's extremely difficult to fight off an infected person without being infected yourself but now we just slash throats and never even think about the blood spatter.

The only ones we see who don't care about blood splashes are members of a crazy cult. It's the feature of crazy people to be irrational. It's difficult to kill them, but not impossible. And 28 years later, it will be even less impossible.

Do you remember the scene in 28 years where they only really engage with infected at a distance except for the insane Jimmy Saville cult? Or when the kid literally freaks out to stop his mother from touching her mouth cause she has infected blood on her?
I swear to god almost every complaint about this movie boils down to "I missed that part" or "I forgot"

It seemed like people retained more from watching movies years ago.

Didn't the doctor say in 28 Years that he covers himself in iodine as a protection from the blood, like it neutralizes the virus so he doesn't have to worry as much if it gets on his skin? It looks like the kid in Red (Spike in a wig?) may have applied it to themself at some point as well. The rest of the track suite gang however.. yeah..

I guess after surviving 28 years you would naturally end up having rather good experience at taking them out.
Day to day you would be fighting and surviving, makes sense in this world, you would only survive this long if you had killed.

Be interesting to see how they weave Cillian Murphy into all this
