28 Years Later Review

Beschreibung:

28 Years Later finds Danny Boyle and Alex Garland mining the last two decades of cultural strife to build a timely coming‑of‑age story full of beauty and brutality in equal measure. Newcomer Alfie Williams ably shoulders the harrowing plot, flanked on either side by similarly strong performances from Aaron Taylor‑Johnson and Jodie Comer. Boyle has plenty of new tricks up his sleeves for how to shoot 28 Years Later in a way that evokes the spirit of the original without copying it, and the same goes for the action, which feels more like an evolution of 28 Days Later’s self‑assured perspective on infected carnage rather than an attempt to outdo the running, biting hordes of imitators it inspired. Its scope is much more narrow than 28 Days Later’s, but its message is just as powerful.
