28 Years Later Breaks Records with Stunning Rotten Tomatoes Score!

by

28 Years Later has broken the Rotten Tomatoes record, with 28 Days Later standing out as a groundbreaking film in the horror and zombie genre. This influential piece of media, often credited for propelling the zombie genre into new territories, was largely the brainchild of director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland. For decades, zombies had been portrayed as slow, dim-witted masses feeding on brains in various forms of media. However, Boyle and Garland introduced an innovative concept that would make zombies more contemporary, scarier, and intense. These undead creatures moved swiftly and exhibited a wild, feral nature, which became the blueprint for many future zombie movies, video games, and television shows. Additionally, it showcased emerging talent like Cillian Murphy, boasted a distinct style, and offered much more.

As a die-hard fan of “28 Days Later”, I’ve been eagerly waiting for more from this gripping series. Five years ago, a sequel was unleashed, and whispers of a potential third film began to circulate. However, bringing this threequel to life has proven to be a long and arduous process, spanning almost two decades. There were countless discussions about its potential, but it always seemed to hit a roadblock. But then, something miraculous happened! A few years ago, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland conceived an idea not just for a third movie, but for a whole new trilogy of “28 Days Later” sequels. They’ve dived headfirst into this project, as the sequel has already wrapped up filming and is set to hit theaters in January. However, the fate of the third movie will depend on the success of the first two installments.

28 Years Later Is Danny Boyle’s Highest Rated Film

28 Years Later, originally titled, has received outstanding reviews, praised not just for its terror but also its emotional depth and thoughtfulness. This gripping horror film, currently dominating the box office, boasts an impressive 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 77 reviews, breaking records as it marks a new career high for director Danny Boyle. Known for blockbusters like Best Picture winner Slumdog Millionaire, Boyle’s second-highest rated movie is 127 Hours starring James Franco, a true story about a mountaineer trapped for five days with an arm pinned between a rock and a wall, which holds a 93% score. Following closely behind are Slumdog Millionaire at 91% and Trainspotting at 90%.

It’s still fairly new, so whether the response to “28 Years Later” improves or worsens in the upcoming weeks is yet to be seen. However, what we can say for sure is that “28 Years Later” has been a major critical success, ranking as one of the top-rated blockbusters of the year thus far. Even if its score takes a slight dip, it’s likely to still place among Danny Boyle’s top 5 or even top 3 highest-rated films in his career.

Spencer Perry from egmr.ru awarded 28 Years Later a 4 out of 5 stars in his review, praising it as something new and invigorating amidst the abundance of zombie content over the past two decades. However, he pointed out that for its sequels to truly feel satisfying, they must deliver a strong conclusion to create a cohesive whole.

The original “28 Days Later” significantly contributed to rejuvenating the zombie genre when it debuted, and since then, numerous concepts have been applied to this theme in movies, TV shows, and video games. What sets “28 Years Later” apart is that it manages to distinguish itself even amidst this influx of undead media. “28 Years Later” isn’t just an engaging blockbuster; it’s one that offers depth, sparking conversations until the sequel arrives – if only there was a sequel! On its own, “28 Years Later” seems incomplete without what comes next, yet even the existing content is still incredibly enjoyable.

28 Years Later hits theaters this Friday.
