28 YEARS LATER



28 Years Later (2025) directed by Danny Boyle. The strongest film of the three 28 films is still Days. I'll rank this second. The big difference is that in Days Jim and the others were just trying to survive, while in Years characters are placing themselves into harms way when they don't have to. There is a large set piece later in the film that is intriguing, setting up some echoes of Apocalypse Now for me. Are we in the "heart of darkness" of the Rage Virus, even nearly three decades later? Perhaps. Ultimately, this movie is a meditation on death.

There is a zombie that looks a lot like Jim from Days, but apparently it isn't him. Hmm.

Watched on DVD checked out from the Library.
