Thought this was awesome, but nowhere near as impactful as the last. By design, I suppose, just the nature of the script. Still rad. The scene where Ralph and jack meet is electric. Also, Ralph hangs dong!
Prefer the 28 years later from last summer but this was alright. Couldn’t stand the Jimmy main character. Liked the progress of Samson’s character. Of course the highlight was the last few minutes.
this was incredible, loved every second of it. will never hear the word charity the same again, every scene with Fiennes and O'Connell was an acting clinic. "there's just us" hit like a punch to the chest only thing that took me out of it was the Radiohead song, surely Kid A doesn't exist if the apocalypse has been going for 28 years
Liked this a lot. Maybe not as much as 28YL, but very strong. Climax felt kind of abrupt, but how do you follow up that routine by Fiennes? The tag to it felt pretty earned and a nice bookend to it.
Also, ballsy of them to do a second part where the previous main character is basically a supporting character at best.
I quite like how they're cycling through characters actually, makes it feel like a full world and its more impactful when that character shows up at the end
Was a little surprised by them electing to not show anything at all from the island or ATJ. this certainly didn't need it but i imagine Jamie will come back into this at some point?
Honestly think I enjoyed this movie more than any of the big horror movies from 2025, so we’re off to a great start. It’s not perfect but I had an absolute blast and just love how weird they’ve gotten with this franchise. Might have to rewatch Years tonight and go see this again soon.
I think someone at my screening didn’t see 28YL because they were gone from the theater within 20 minutes of it starting.
Preferred 28YL but The Bone Temple rocks. DaCosta didn't bother emulating Boyle's innovative cinematography and that's fine. Still has the humanity of the last one. Only January but this contains an early needle drop of the year contender. This is such a fascinating way to work the franchise machine in your favor to get a hollywood budget to tell unique stories
I'd have to A/B them to be certain but I'm pretty sure the farmhouse where the redheaded girl's family lived was the same house from the start of Weeks?
