28 Years Later Review – with a Dead Meat & Wuz Good Cameo! The long-awaited third entry in Danny Boyle’s post-apocalyptic zombie trilogy is finally here. Set decades after 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007), 28 Years Later delivers a chilling, action-packed, and emotional return to a Rage-infected world. Directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) and written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation, The Last of Us video game influence), the film brings back the gritty realism and raw energy that helped redefine the zombie genre. The cast features Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train, Kick-Ass) as the lead survivor, Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy), Jack O'Connell (Unbroken, Skins), Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter, The Grand Budapest Hotel), and the return of Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer, Peaky Blinders) as Jim. In this video, we dive into first impressions, standout performances, jaw-dropping scenes, the terrifying evolution of the Rage virus, and how 28 Years Later stacks up against modern survival horror hits like The Last of Us and A Quiet Place. We also reflect on the full trilogy’s progression—from the raw chaos of 28 Days Later, the military dread of 28 Weeks Later, to the emotional weight and larger scale of 28 Years Later. Is this the best zombie movie since The Last of Us? Did it live up to the massive expectations? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—and which scene left you breathless!

I just got home from this. My heart was in my throat for most of it, and through THAT entire sequence with Jodie Comer (KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK), I. Bawled. My. Eyes. Out. I appreciate creative filmmaking and a story that has something to say. This series always says something about humanity/ human nature/ the human condition, and everything else is bonus.

This feels like a setup for the next film, and ones for the franchise. It gives us a new protagonist. We follow his journey and the people around him.

You're in the lobby of my local theater! I was there yesterday (seeing HTTYD) as they were checking people in for the screening of 28 Years Later. Great to hear good reactions from you and Dead Meat. Will be seeing it tomorrow.

The thing that struck me while watching it was how dirty and grungy and nasty the decaying "old world" stuff looked, in contrast with the BEAUTIFUL shots of the English countryside. Set design and decoration was absolutely top notch.

So happy they cast Jack O'Connell as Jimmy. Loved him as Remick in Sinners so it's cool seeing him go from a vampire/cult leader figure to perhaps an even crazier cult leader in a zombie infested apocalypse 😂.
