Movie Review: '28 Years Later' Takes Ambitious, Dubious Risks
- The movie '28 Years Later' will debut in theaters across the UK on June 19, continuing the story of the rage virus outbreak nearly three decades after it first struck Britain.
- The film follows a survivor enclave on Holy Island that has lived without electricity or modern medicine for three decades due to a ruthless quarantine.
- The story centers on Jamie and his son Spike, who embark on a perilous rite-of-passage trip to the mainland to seek treatment for Spike’s ailing mother, Isla.
- Director Danny Boyle reunites with writer Alex Garland to present harrowing encounters with naked, feral infected, using bold but divisive techniques described as "equal parts bold, inappropriate and preposterous."
- '28 Years Later' explores themes of loss of innocence and survival against a decayed landscape but is not seen as the definitive final chapter of the rage virus saga.
