The long-awaited film 28 Years Later has made a flying start with an impressive score on Rotten Tomatoes. The third film in the iconic 28 Days Later franchise premiered on Friday, June 20, and is set nearly thirty years after the events of the original. The film is once again directed by Danny Boyle, who also directed the first two parts.
The cast of 28 Years Later includes big names such as Jodie Comer as Isla, Ralph Fiennes as Dr. Ian Kelson, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Jamie. Cillian Murphy, who starred in the original 2002 film, is back as an executive producer and will also appear in the upcoming sequels. Alex Garland wrote the script.
The film debuts with an impressive 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 73 reviews. Critics particularly praise the strong performances and the nuanced approach to horror and gore. The artistic choices of director Boyle are praised as bold and emotionally charged.
Despite the acclaim, there are also some critical voices. Some reviewers feel that the experimental style somewhat undermines the core of the story. Nevertheless, the appreciation for the creative risks the film takes within the post-apocalyptic genre prevails.
With its 95% score, 28 Years Later is currently the highest-rated film in the franchise. For comparison, 28 Days Later scored 87% and 28 Weeks Later 72%. It is, however, important to note that these scores are based on a larger number of reviews, which means that the score of the new film may still fluctuate.
The original film from 2002 was praised as an innovative zombie film with a unique mix of British humor and science fiction. The sequel from 2007 chose a more large-scale approach with more tension. 28 Years Later seems to take another step forward, with a creative and profound approach to the genre.
According to critics, the new film feels like a kind of reboot. The film is said to integrate elements of contemporary horror films, with a focus on grief and emotional depth.
