The hype is insane
>>217234222So what exactly happened in 28 yearsZombies would’ve starved out so now “the real monster: MAN” is the new plot point??
>>217234242No Rape Feinnes hasn't gotten laid in 28 years. That's the plot point.
>>217234276There are some anons here that have gone longer
>>217234222Should've just been one movie, splitting it in two just for extra cash is shameful
>>217234305I once had to go a whole month without sex once, I felt like I was turning into the Joker
>>217234242>Zombies would’ve starved outThey didn't, as shown in the film 28 Years Later
>>217234312It's a different director and looks like it will be different in tone
>>217234324I once went 1 whole weekThe flashbacks were haunting
boner temple
They were waiting to see how well this film does before they decided to greenlight the 3rd film but it looks like it's happening.
>>217234332Qrd? I didn’t watch this How did the zombos surivive? Eating each other? After a few decades you’d think all the people that would be good at avoiding and killing zombies would be impossible for them to prey on
there is actually little to no hype for this though
>>217234222the fact the marketing has shifted to "you HAVE to watch and see the CRAZY ending" means the numbers aren't looking good
>>217234373They eat animals and bugs
>>217234242They retconned out them starving and just had them evolvethey also more or less pretend 28 Weeks Later didn't happen either
>>217234401Oh, even the deer are getting jobbed by mobs of retarded infected that only use their bare hands? Interesting At least in Garth Ennis’ Crossed, the murder hobo infected could make use of guns and the ones that survived and reproduced a century later were the ones that were smart enough to at least band together, assign jobs and prioritize (somewhat) raising their babies
>>217234414>evolveHow? I hope it’s not anything stupid lol
>>217234449It's like crossed in the fact they are slowly evolving and banding together now. They are breeding too with one of the infected having a kid in the film who is not infected lol
>>217234471it''s straight up not explainedjust like it's not elaborated on why the entire world left England to die instead of attempting rescue or just glassing the entire countrythe writer just wanted a sandbox he could use to write some heavy-handed Brexit metaphors and Threads-inspired imagery
>>217234305I get it but I didn't build a temple of bone mines more like a temple of splooge.
>>217234242pretty much what happened in doomsday 2008the infected are led by "alphas" that become alphas by the virus simply being more like a steroid when they get infected. if you've read crossed then it's like that fireman issue they hunt deer for food
>>217234373They eat animals, and they've evolved into different forms, such as the Fat Fuck variety, which is obese and slow and crawls along the ground eating bugs.
>>217234504>who is not infectedHow? LolDid this kids wear a hazmat suit growing up? Just breast feeding as an infant alone would’ve infected this kid
>>217234518Cool, thanks for explainingThis would be a fun B movie, but it is taking itself rather seriously. So these holes don’t really seem justified
>>217234518>heavy-handed Brexit metaphorPerfect summary of years
>>217234546The implication is natural immunity but they're likely still carrierswhich is important if you watch the movie, but you didn't watch it, so OK
>>217234546It's not even explained. Basically the infected mom dies giving birth and the human cast take it with them. That's all we know.
>>217234222>28 Years later>28 winters>28 UK wintersthey're all frozen and dead, they don't use tools or clothes, they're all dead.
>>217234546The magic of the placenta :^)
>>217234591>>217234595I see. I’m surprised the humans aren’t like “I hate the antichrist” and just yeet the little bastard I’m looking way too deep into this lollll
>>217234518"Threads, but Brexit" is the perfect summary of this movie
>>217234312>twodoes he know
>>217234617nigga, it barely drops below zero in Britain
>>217234591If they'd actually said the remaining British populace were non-symptomatic carriers I'd have totally bought in to the idea that the rest of the world abandoned them and then lied about survivors to prevent bleeding hearts from attempting rescuebut they didn't, so there's no reason why the UN wouldn't have gotten survivors out within the first year
>>217234663Nah, years isn't nihilistic enough to be compared to threads
>>217234695
>>217234373apparently now humans can catch and kill deer with no weapons because uhhh the rage virus evolved! :^)
>>217234729>In 15 yearsYeah you're just proving his point that the cold is newsworthy
>>217234747>humans can catch and kill deer with no weaponsDepends if the infected can track and pursue the deer til the deer hits exhaustion
>>217234222none of these films were good. not a single one. it's entirely memed all to hell about using "consumer grade digital cameras" with 500x the cost in lenses and the rest of the rig on top of the actual digital camera cost.
Isn't the director a black lady who makes zog propaganda?This will be nothing like the first movie.
>>217234767To be fair (NTA) even early hominids used rocks at the very least to bash the exhausted animals head it and sharp edges to cut the skin off I’m talking about the ancestors of even homo erectus
>>217234729that's it? -2f is your coldest?it's been -20f within the last 5 years where i'm at
>>217234796Going off the movie's retard logic alphas would have no problem ripping it's spine out at that point so they probably wouldn't need tools if there's an alpha with them to kill and rip it apart
>>217234824Oh I’m, understood~MOVIE MAGIC~
>>217234729>in one part of the tip of northern scotland where they have a weather station for research
>>217234305They are called wizards. Have some fucking respect for crying out loud
>>217234830The magic of movies & the placenta
>>217234796if youre going with the persistence hunting hypothesis you still have to assume that the rage virus makes then superhuman because even a perfectly trained human can't persistence hunt a deer in temperate climates. the persistence hunting theory relies on the animals experiencing heat exhaustion. also, the persistence hunting hypothesis itself is completely retarded and if you know literally ANYTHING about the physiology of running you would realize why it would be fucking impossible to persistence hunt an animal. It has only ever been done in very specific circumstances where the animal got confused and ended up running in circles. people literally have to lie to support the persistence hunting hypothesis, for example the idea that only humans sweat is simply made up, horses actually sweat way more than humans.
>>217234332okay but what film
>it's a brexit metaphor because... there's an island that put a gate upcan you retards just shut the fuck up and enjoy the zombie movie? The jimmy saville connection at least makes sense
>>217234528Low key I genuinely loved Doomsday when it came out, used to watch it all the time
>>217234868There are people in Africa that still hunt this way thoughHadza in Tanzania and the San people
>>217234868Why are you in here arguing this shit when you haven't seen the film? Go watch the film, and it will contain the answers to your questions. Also you're a nigger and you are retarded.
>>217234591the 28 weeks retcon brigade won't acknowledge that this is a direct reference to the second movie either
>>217234915He might’ve, I’m og skeptic that started this line of questioning with the first post, and a different anon
>>217234903the hadza eat and hunt bonobos or mandrills or something, not antelopes. I don't know what the san people do, but it's almost certainly ambush hunting if anything where you use group tactics to cut off the animal and kill it with a spear or bow, that is not only physiologically possible but far more efficient and superior to persistence hunting anyway. also some of those documentaries that claim to show persistence hunting have been proven to be fake, one was exposed for the documentarians literally giving the 'hunters' rides in their jeep.
>>217234915>>217234962yeah I just have a bone to pick with persistence hunting theory, I do not care about whether the movie makes sense (I have seen it though)
>>217234968riding in a jeep is just a more efficient persistance hunting tactic
>>217234222I remember seeing the original 28 Days Later in theaters. I remember it seeming shocking and visceral. It basically revived the zombie genre. I was pretty excited for 28years and watching it, it was okay. It seemed more of a coming of age story, than a horror story.
>>217234811that's because you're a coon
>>217234791Yep and the living embodiment of the concept of failing upwards
>>217235033>coming of age story>'saved' by acrobatic rape ganggrim story from england as usual
my favorite thing about this new "trilogy" is that in the trailer for the last one, it went>28 Days>28 Weeks>28 Yearsas if that's the totally natural progression
>>217235069yeah28 years is a long time
>>217235069do europeans really not grasp the idea of months?
>>217235069Next>28 DECADESAll done via AI
>>217235096it's funny that they planned this new thing as a trilogy when they couldn't even make a third one the first time around
>>217234997The movie extensively shows that the Alphas are bigger, stronger and have better endurance than a baseline human
>>217234242>Zombies would’ve starved outif they couldn't drink they would have died of thirst within a week. but why can they drink if they can't eat. so the first movie wasn't consistent eitherit's completely reasonable to just go: the virus evolved to survive, multiple strains developed almost immediately creating different levels of lobotomization, some are closer to very angry primitive humans.
>>217235056>those flopsMore like Nia DaCostastudioalottamoney lol
>>217234312Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back should have been one movie too. refute me, oh wait you can't.
>>217235161which means their bodies would actually shut down faster because they'd need more sustenance to sustain that state of being, making it even dumber than if they'd turned into like the cave people from the Descent or something
>>217235069>>217235126>>217235107I don't think autism about dates was really on Alex Garland's mind when he picked "Years" as an interval lmao
>>217235191>movie is unrealistic because uhhhh they would have to eat a lotfuck off retard
>>217235204It should’ve been. Now there will be a 28 CENTURIES LATER, and it will entirely be his fault >:(
>28 hours later(essentially what 28 years opening is)>28 months later(sequel to 28 weeks) army pushing back the virus to bongistan>28 years(final flick) this is what they should have done if they really had to be a trilogy
>>217234687He doesn't know.
>>217235173
>>217235204I understand, but it's still very funny when the trailer listed those consecutively as if the concept of months didn't even exist
>>217234571Modern writers hate continuity and consequences. Stories to them are disposable slop where nothing matters. Their permanent revolution demands a vacuum.
>>217235271I can see thatProbably because regardless of how consistent a story is, people will watch it and it will make money
>>217235107The 28 Million Years Before prequel is going to be insane.
>>217235229>28 hours later(essentially what 28 years opening is)the lab in the first movie is meant to be in Cambridge. it would take longer than 28 hours for the virus to reach scotland, even with asymptomatic carriers. timeframe on the poster is more realistic, and suggests Garland actually thought about this.
>>217235254>>217234687>anons aren't used to filmakers actually planning ahead because so much slop happens>when a creator actually plans ahead they don't appreciate itDark managed it and I think the same is going to be true here.
>>217235270no it isn't. you and other retards ITT just have a very low standard of what makes you feel clever.
>>217235300>the dinosaurs are still dead at that pointThanks for reminding me asshole, now my day is ruinedAnd NO, CHICKENS DO NOT CLUCKING COUNT
>>217235344What are you even talking about? I can't even comprehend why you're defensive about something so flippant.Have you not interacted with anyone in real life today? That's almost always the explanation for drawn-out, pointless arguments here.
I got a Fun Fact note in a christmas cracker this year that said Saturn's rings are younger than the dinosaurs. Isn't that crazy?
>>217234901I didn't realise until like last year that the Doomsday virus is a metaphor for Thatcherism. It's not even subtle
>>217234222mfw
>>217234528Doomsday was actually fun kino and was not some le White man bad bullshit.
>>217236238Fair enough, but it was entertaining. Hollywood at least tried to patronize the audiences with a storyline instead of the preachy shit we get now.
>>217235390leave the fat retard alone, he's fat and retarded so he needs sympathy
>>217236270>le White man badHere we go
'ello anon. Fancy a position in me posse?
Drones now make a zombie apocalypse irrelevant we need to move on to a new genreImagine 1000 drones with machine guns attached being remote controlled by the military and then having armored ground troops cleaning up the rest. Thats not even mentioning everything else.
>>217236301Not a criticism at all. I think the correct way to do political commentary is intercut between deep frying people for food and random unexplained medieval gladiator fights and hot women fighting with swords and shit. It's rad
>>217234347Black lady director LMFAO
>>217236390how about.......ZOMBIE DRONES
>>217235056Jesus Christ it's over
>>217234791>>217235056I just don't understand why Alex Garland wasn't the director if Danny decided not to be, he was the most obvious choice.
>>217234242>the real monster: MANNew plot point is memento mori. You should honour the dead regardless if they were clean or infected
>>217238653why would you honour dead zombies?>looks at the state of britain todayoh, i see
>>217234242It's a secret right wing movie.Boy+Father leave safety of the commune and risk danger and violence as a masculine right of passage.Zombies are allegory for invasion of third world apes.Boy is troubled his father's infidelity, spoiling the innocence of his family, but its because his mother is deeply ill and near death.He abandons his father and the safety of his commune to bring his mother to a witchdoctor who teaches him about mortality and acceptance of death, and helps his mother with euthanasia.Instead of returning home, he joins a random gang we see in the trailer.The new movie was handed off to a black lady who makes jew propaganda, so they're going to intentionally make it shit and ruin it because its right wing.
>>217238598He said he wrote the trilogy for other people to direct, plus he was gonna be busy with Elden Ring.
what even is the point of the quarantine now. why not just send in drones and helicopters to kill the remaining infected.
>>217234242It's Heart of Darkness (Apocalypse Now) but instead of Kurtz being a psychotic nihilist he's a hippie cuck.
>>217238816>It's a secret right wing movie.>He abandons his father and the safety of his commune to bring his mother to a witchdoctor>and helps his mother with euthanasia.what is right wing about this?
>>217238929zombies are just a plot device to tell a storythere's not a single one out there that doesn't fall apart with some thought put into itit's just the fear of death incarnated that's it
>>217239168Left and Center have fully abandoned masculinity.The framing of danger/risk of violence as rite of passage, as a means of learning to support oneself and community.Both the allegory of violent goblins infesting your home nation.And in the son's coming of age and development of his own individualistic agency apart from his now tainted family and communal structure.He assumed responsibility for his mom in the midst of this collapsed family, a burden that is beyond him, but manages to protect and provide for her.His interaction with the witchdoctor is a means of coming to terms with the grief of his mother and family's death before they truly happen.The Hero's Journey itself is honestly now rightwing coded.
>28 Year Later gets almost universally criticised>everyone is now hyped for the sequelNothing you read online is real anymore.>>217238816The director absolutely despises England, his social commentary is always quite hamfisted. The heroes of his films will be Irish, Scottish or some other minority he views as being persecuted by the crown. Comically English man is the bad guy. Is there a point to be made? Not really. He's also an atheist and is tackling christianity in 28 years.Serious parental issues on this guy are coming through hard.All of that said, Fiennes is great and I will be watching this at cinemas day one
>>217234546Presumably the babies of infected would normally get infected through various means shortly after birth, but this one was immediately taken from the mother and cleaned before that could happen
>>217234222I've been a massive fan of the first movie since it came out but I had zero hype over 28YL and I've got zero hype for this sequel as well.Weirdly enough, the same thing applies to GTA6. Maybe I'm just too old for movies/vidya now.
>>217239292i ask again, what is right wing about abandoning your father and euthanizing your mother?
>>217239821the assumption of self-responsibility and individualistic agencygood luck
>>217239852i don't think i've ever seen any right wing anything support euthanasia
>>217234222oh yay a zombie movie NOT
>>217234242that was the plot of the first one
>>217240377theyre doing something new and interesting this time, in this one the HUMANS are the real monsters!
>>217234222>the first movie existing is because they wanted to make a realistic "zombie" movie but not actually using zombies. the ragers are just alive humans with animal minds.>28 Years just turns them into zombies with different shapes and sizes and the entire point of the franchise existing as a dark and gritty and realistic exploration of what the closest approximate to real-life zombies would be is now lost and mootBRAVO BOYLEBRAVO GARLAND
>>217240377Only Weeks has the zombies as the main focus since it's an action movie.
>>217238816Direction brained nigger.
>>217234222Don't get. Not gonna watch. Haven't even seen the last one.
>>217234898its not a zombie movie you retard
