28 Years Later

upon rewatch my opinion hasn't changed much, its still really good but it could be more polished and in a sense i liked how the bone temple was a lot more focused where in this, all of its ideas just lay on the floor for the film to randomly pick up.

but i also think some of the strenghts i mentioned in my bone temple review but didn't mention in my first review for THIS film is that the film also portrays a very humanistic idea of how the infectious actually works.
its views on death and how its terrifying and sad, we should also keep moving forward and cherish the memories we have of the people we have lost near and dear to our hearts.

danny boyle directs most of the film really great but also i think some of the editing and technique's he used kinda baffles me because they are cool but also really jarring when your in the middle of an action scene and the film decides to do a 360 spin around an infected like a mini video game cutscene.

While i don't think it rises above the original and allot of people are gonna be put off by the story which isn't amazing but i think overall its a good first film that contains some strong characters.

I really like the family, aaron taylor johnson is not in the 2nd or 3rd act but the reason why and why spike and his mother go outside their village is good.
Again i don't think the narrative is perfect but i also thinks its good in other ways.

I love ralph fiennes character, he's got some good dialogue and he's apart of the films strongest emotional part.
And overall his performance his the 2nd best of the film.
Jodie comer is amazing aswell but i really wanna give props to alfie williams who while not perfect, gives a pretty good performance as a kid actor.

There was also a minor character, Erik who was pretty funny and bounced off spike pretty well.
The cinematography is beautifull at times, it's not always a frame you wanna hang on your wall but the fact this film was recorded on iPhone is astounding.

Also im just a sucker for zombie films lol.
