28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

This movie is a direct sequel to the first "28 years later" of the new trilogy, thus you‘ll need to have seen that one to understand this one (not so much the two earlier movies in the series). It feels more conventional than the previous sequel and has two very different threads: One expands on Dr. Kelson and Samson and is quite beautiful to watch; the other are the Jimmy‘s, which doesn’t really seem to serve any purpose other than demonstrating the degradation of society after a catastrophic event. Somewhat disappointing, Alfie Williams had a very convincing performance as Spike in the previous sequel, but his character is quite subdued in this movie, so he doesn’t get much of a chance to show his talent but mostly has to play the intimidated and frightened kid. Great chemistry between him and Jimmy Ink, though. The dance scene towards the end - yes, Ralph Fiennes is gorgeous and it’s the highlight of the movie. As in the previous sequel, there is a 1-minute preview of the next movie, feels again rather out of place, but if you have seen the original "28 days later", it will give you a deja vu. Overall, despite a few of shortcomings compared to it’s predecessors, still a nice movie to watch.
