28 Years Later

Erik Bates: “It sucked.”

Something about this movie just felt disjointed from its predecessors. It was a decent film, yes. And I always enjoy seeing Ralph Feinnes in a role.

I discovered afterward that there will be a 2nd installment - 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. I mean, it was clearly obvious considering the appearance of Jimmy, who I spent the entire film thinking was actually Jamie (Spike's dad). But in retrospect I que$tion the need to $plit thi$ into $eparate in$tallment$.

This was essentially a 2-hour first act. Far too much needless exposition, and an overly dramatized McGuffin with Spike's mom's illness to get us to see Dr. Kelson could have been easily done without the entire B-plot that accompanied it.

This comment from an IMDB review sums up the ending nicely:

"The ending with a dollar store looking version of Luna Lovegood's father and his party of power ranger-esque bandits still takes the cake. Anything but this ending would have been better."This review contains spoilers. Reveal it.
