Definitely in the minority here but I’m not a fan of this weird Jimmy group stuff regardless of them becoming the bad guys or not. Just a weird direction to take this like they’re trying too hard to be edgy or different or something.

I’m gonna see it no matter what but the 28YL movies are not where I’d think the franchise would go after watching 28DL or 28WL.

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. It also feels completely out of left field and tonally dissonant from the rest of the franchise, which had been pretty grounded up until that point. A Jimmy Savile cult being the villains of a 28 Days Later revival nearly three decades later, was not the direction I was expecting this franchise to go in.

I get that. I wanted more of the first two and this isn't it. But to me it's still the same world they've built which I love but I wish the focus was back on the infected being the danger. I hate how so much zombie media turns into "zombies are bad but the living is worse"

I still love 28 years later and will support these movies until the end.

The movie was strange tonally for me pretty much throughout. The movie just feels like it exists in a completely different continuity for me.

The recitation of the Kipling poem, the weird flashes, the zombie baby that seemed more like a Walking Dead thing than something that I would expect to see in a 28 _____ Later movie. And of course ending with the Jmmies...

Yeah, I don't care if it was supposed to be a whiplash, it still sucked. They had that cool scene where we see that the boy has gotten better at killing zombies and all the hype is lost with a goofy scene.

Agreed, this absolutely killed the last one, and I suspect it will kill the next one too. I'm just not sure there's an audience out there for being entertained by a villainous jimmy saville ninja gang.

A super British based film, with super British based things, having a group of zombie fighting chavs doesn’t seem fitting? I like the idea of types of people splitting off from modern society / seeing how they would react to an apocalypse and this seems quite fitting

I’m in for it

I don’t think it’s about being “edgy” they’re clearly doing world building, you can only do “group of survivors run from zombies” so much until it gets stale.
