"I remember details.
Events and people. But what it was actually like to live with
shops and fridges and telephones and personal computers? I have
no real memory of that at all. That said, I do remember there
was a sense of certainty. The world had an order. A way about
it." – Dr. Kelson
Why watch this?
This 28 Days Late sequel is as good as the original.
Plot Summary:
Following the events of 28
Years Later (2025), a young survivor, Spike, is forced
into a brutal cult led by a fanatical leader who views the
post-apocalyptic landscape as a Satanic domain. Meanwhile, a
dedicated researcher in a nearby sanctuary makes unexpected,
potentially world-altering breakthroughs regarding the nature of
the infected. As these two storylines converge, the remaining
humans must face threats that are far more disturbing than the
infected hordes themselves.

Dad's Preview: This film is
elevated thanks to several things. I can simply watch
Ralph Fiennes act all day. He's perhaps the greatest
actor of his generation, and he takes career chances, as
evidenced by this role. There are also two simultaneous
plots at play: The first centers on Spike's kidnapping
by the Jimmy gang, led by Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal. These
thugs terrorize any human survivors, while adeptly
slaughtering the undead. These brutes are definitely
channeling A Clockwork Orange. The other plot
sees Dr. Kelson's contact with the alpha zombie he calls
Samson. Using morphine darts, he's able to reconnect
with the man's humanity. I wasn't expecting to be so
touched by this, but I was... and that's good
filmmaking. |
