28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter BluSteel2012
- Start date
Like it, keeping the skull theme of the previous steel too... But would it really kill them to put the flippin' title on the front??
It is quite dark, as in macabre gruesome. Not from a zombie perspective either. It's the behaviour of a group of remaining human inhabitants of the mainland that the story follows. Just as an fyi, as my partner wasn't expecting that and didn't like it.Nice. I'm seeing it tomorrow
Jack O'Connell's character in particular is just bizzarely played. You got a hint of it at the end of 28YL, but it just gets more bizzare. Not badly acted as such (if you like him, as he essentially always plays "himself" in films. Forever the jack the lad Cook from skins), but it was like a halfway take on a Schizophrenic. As if Sony asked him to dial it back for the mainstream. The same could be said for all of his group's behaviour. Stops one step short of actual crazed post apocalyptic antics we've seen in other films. Which is an odd choice, given this one is an 18.
I preferred 28YL, even though that didn't go the way most fans wanted, but as I said, the end promotes high hopes for part 3.
I did hear it goes quite hard... It must do to earn the 18 cert. They don't seem to hand those out as often these days.
Going back to the red theme I see. Makes the previous steel look outta place
God dammit, spoiler alert with them images...
Be careful in setting peoples expectation of this movie
There is a chair still used 28 years later...

I was wondering that... Did they realise it can't possibly be upgradeable and are backpedaling behind the scenes?
The remastered version has been available for a while now. It was shown theatrically and it was on iplayer. So, the work has been done, so to speak, but maybe it does look beyond sh!t on disc and they've gone back to the drawing board, as steelbook production wouldn't have caused this length of a release delay.
I didn't know about any remastered version, will check iPlayer tomorrow to see if it's still there
just saw it, thought the story was weak but well made. danny boyle should of directed this one.
Well, alex garland apparently still wrote it, which surprised me given the weak and meandering plot. I don't know if boyle would have made much difference if that genuinely was all there was to work with. Boyle has said he will be back to direct the 3rd and final part, though. So that's something to hope for.
It was last year, around the time the theatrical release was out again and the steel was up for order. It's obviously compressed all to hell, but you can tell it's a new master vs the blu. I think it had a sony logo at the start too, which was a dead giveaway.I didn't know about any remastered version, will check iPlayer tomorrow to see if it's still there
It was on BBC 3 or 4 again last night and a 4k upscale would do it no favours. Cancelled my order on a rewatch, time has not been kind to this one.
