[Ulysses 31]

Spoiler

The ending was ridiculous. Kinda took me out of it. Totally unnecessary.

The alphas were also over the top. Making them intelligent was dumb. The whole point of the virus is it makes you super scary and mindless. I didn't like that addition either. And then ripping heads off was a little lame.

Was hoping they'd show more of the village. Even though this was Spike's story. I wanted to know more about the people. And know why ATJ was so cold toward Isla. I wonder if Spike wasn't her son at all. Or if he just wanted her to die so he could be with that other girl Rosey.

A pretty big stretch that a woman in the state Isla was in could make that journey the way she did. And not only that, but kill the one infected on her own with brute physical force. Wtf was that about?

The birth scene was ridiculous. I was like c'mon.

But overall I thought it was a sweet story that still had plenty of tense infected moments and scares.

Or what about Isla somehow ending ahead of the guys where they just can't catch up to her coz she's just that fast...
Or the chasing Alpha they incapacitate several times but don't kill.

Movie was decent enough but the soundtrack and the Kipling poem

I watched it again and I have a nitpick with continuity.

Spoiler: 28 Days Later and Weeks Later Spoilers

So a big component of Days Later was how long the infected take to starve to death. By the end of the movie they show them already dying off and starving and frail and thin laying on the ground. Then in the beginning of 28 Weeks Later they tell us they die in a number of weeks and starve off. 28 Weeks Later is obviously less than a year after Days Later. So there's no way the infected would have evolved that fast to where they all starved off after 28 Days Later and then after the breakout of 28 Weeks Later which took place in under a year, learned how to cannibalize and eat other things to survive. The infected in Weeks Later would have starved off too.

And it's not like the UK was teeming with people. The entire island was wiped out by the virus, and they only reintegrated a few thousand in Weeks Later. There simply shouldn't still be around 28 Years Later let alone more than a few weeks after the events of 28 Weeks Later. They should have all died off. And 28 Years Later never explains how they are still around other than just showing them having evolved.

That's one of the things I hate about 28 Years. Not only it wastes the potential of 28 Weeks ending, but it also doesn't make sense that the infected are still there. And they didn't even bother with a more elaborate explanation of why is the threat from them still a thing. This is an even bigger stretch than coming up with a solution to start a new outbreak in 28 Weeks.
