ok i talk spoilers here
the SOUNDTRACK, Young Fathers fucking killed it
Ralph Fiennes fucking doing his thing as the mad bone doctor, saying memento mori, memento amoris actually made me cry
the bit where the kid and the dad are being chased interspersed with clips of the battle of agincourt, how the british survivors all use bows. This harkening back to old Britannia to survive the new brutal world
Scavenging ruins for supplies, living a brutal hard life while above you can see vapor trails from airplanes flying over head. The dad talking about boats and stuff to a son who has never known the world before the virus, who has never left the Holy Island
the JIMMIES. how a kid who survived an apocalypse in 2002 of course he would idolize jimmy saville and nobody would know about the shit he did.
the kid and his mum sheltering in the ruins of Fountains Abbey, surrounded by medieval stone statues.
The scene on the causeway, walking across the sea with the aurora above after surviving his first outing on the mainland
The alpha zombie standing on the hill underneath the lone tree in the green field. The giant stampedes of deer.
It felt like it was so much more than a zombie film. It was a meditation on british identity at its most raw and brutal, not in a gammony brexit patriot way, but in a who are we really, on this shitty diseased island. How the survivors only survived by banding together and working together, contrast w/ the soldiers at the end of 28 days who can barely keep their shit together without someone to shag.

This film gave me faith of some bizarre kind. Shelf material.

I enjoyed it even more than the new Jurassic World which was kind just okay! my ONLY critique is it did not feel like 28 days later at all. It was entirely it's own vibe but it was a good vibe. I think that's what disappointed a lot of people. They also changed the zombie rules a bit I think?

lots of really cool stuff. I thought the Agincourt stuff and Boots were such inspired choices. The night time shots of the infected hunting were so creepy. Danny still got it. I am kinda sad they didn't reprise the theme from days and weeks but the soundtrack was great regardless
