28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter BluSteel2012
- Start date
I actually really loved this film, but two things were sorely missing for me.
Style and music. The way Boyle directs his films is always stylistically interesting, especially in the previous film. Even with a seriosuly great composer, I felt the music in Bone Temple was lacking.

Agreed. It was a great movie, but lacked that directorial voice that Boyle brings to his projects... But it was still great, and the music used in the closing scene really made up for a lack of score elsewhere
Yep. My thoughts exactly. It was a tonal mess, and aside from a few brief moments (and that awesome ending), I didn't like it at all.
I had goosebumps when that music kicked in at the end. Can't wait for part 3.Agreed. It was a great movie, but lacked that directorial voice that Boyle brings to his projects... But it was still great, and the music used in the closing scene really made up for a lack of score elsewhere
Watched this last night.
I agree that it really wasn't very cinematic at all. Apart from a few bodycam shots, there wasn't a great deal of creativity on show. It had the straight to TV feel about it for me and the plot could have been sliced in half or more and added to the first movie in some way instead. It just didn't feel all that relevant to me. It brought almost zero to the story as a trilogy (if this is indeed going to carry on as a trilogy) and apart from allowing Samson and his dangly dong to get their moment in the Sun (and Moon) it didn't really progress much.
Acting was solid though and of course the continuing forward setup was nice. Motivation for Jack O'Connell was a bit wishy-washy but he's always great to watch.
Definitely not as a good as 28 Years Later though and I was pretty mid on that too. I hope a third can bring it home. I want to see some serious rage virus horror again in there. Wrap it up with a massive bang.
Is it true there's a TV series in the works?
Also, do we know who's on to direct a third yet?

Danny Boyle is back on directing duties for the 3rd film with Alex Garland continuing the story
I would have to disagree with this movie bringing zero to the larger story... I mean, Samson? Where his character goes could be pretty seismic, but it wouldn't surprise me if that thread is left dangling (much like his dong
)I hadn't heard anything about a TV show, I don't know, would there be an appetite for it?

To be fair. I did mention Samson and his tiktok as the only real story progression and I'm calling it now, this evolution will almost certainly be one of the main drivers of plot for the third film.
It was more the Jimmy's the felt, err, soft. It was like a VERY middling, middle film in a trilogy. Placeholder to drive one important plot point through to the third.

All I could think of was Jimmy Shite's fate when I read this.
Passing on the steels and hoping they eventually do some sort of full collection set

Given how badly the fourth film bombed, are we even going to see the fifth?Passing on the steels and hoping they eventually do some sort of full collection set
I bloody hope so! Don't think it helped that Boyle wasn't directing... no disrespect to DaCosta, but she hasn't exactly got a great track record. Boyle is/was supposed to be returning for the fifth film though, so having his name attached again should hopefully bring in bigger numbers, plus the fact it'd be the final film... surely more folks would want to see how it all ends.
