Warning: there will be adult censored language and I will be bringing up a very uncomfortable topic or/and topics at some point in this content.

Real Talking Time:

What the hell are you thinking?: So if you are from my generation, basically in your early 40's or slightly younger or/and older you have been waiting to see if they would make this film, to finish off this trilogy as it has been 18 years since 28 Weeks Later, so as you can see it is finally here and it did we get what we were waiting for?... Did we hollicks! Instead what we got was a beginning of a story, but don't worry they didn't give us that instead we got sent/dropped off somewhere else to have this origin/back story; where we haven't got a fudgin' clue on what is actually happening, because as I have already indicated we have spent almost 2 decades away from this world, so you know you may want to fill it in a bit... No okay then, so we will just be getting confused okey-dokey.

On top of that; let's talk about this incredibly large elephant in the room; let's depict terminal cancer and assisted death; it's not like that is a hot topic at the moment within the UK and it has been for some time now; this was absolutely tone deaf, as someone that has dealt with the situation of cancer for roughly 4 years with the possibility of assisted death in my future [having said that I am seriously hoping not, but I am wise enough to understand that this may be an outcome.] I was infuriated by this section of this instalment and it shouldn't be any surprise to anyone but the air around me was full of adult language references, including but not limited to the person that I watch some of this content with asking me if I wanted to leave, which I declined.

Because at this time I was under the idea that this was the conclusion of the trilogy; which after doing some research I was so, so fudgin' unbelievably wrong as this is possibly just the beginning of a trilogy in itself: you see after doing some research I can now drop the bombshell if you don't know: we are guaranteed to get a sequel at the beginning of 2026, I know it's guaranteed because we have a title  28 Years Later: The Bone Temple 2026, some of the cast list and a release date 16/01/2026 [to cover my back: I'm going to give myself a little bit of leeway by saying subject to change possibly] and as far as I can tell the general idea as of this content being first created is; there is a wanting to do a sequel after this as well.

Now as I am a cynical old goat yes this current instalment is doing incredibly well at the box office from a budget of $60 million; it has made $60 million at the box office [this figure is subject to change obviously.] But I have some major concerns; for this franchise going forward; if you were like me as I said earlier you may have shown up to see what you believe as did I see the conclusion of this trilogy; which obviously would have helped getting butts in seats. But instead of that some people left confused and I know this because I have hearing like a bat from the row behind me; they were laughing and to broadly bring their words together; there were some good bits but it made no sense, so hypothetically speaking good luck trying to get them to come back for possibly another two instalments, let's be really real about this situation; they have left it about a decade too long for this manure. Because I have been around films long enough, I feel I have heard the right to say this; things happen in cycles meaning if you cultivate a full on in one generation for your franchise you are lucky and grateful, but to leave it for almost 2 decades, when your original generation has moved on in life I mean for an example it isn’t like something like Marvel or/and Star Wars which can be possibly passed down from generation to generation; but for this franchise it isn't unheard-of for them to come back, but all of them to come back there is going to be very difficult; case in point I was talking to a friend today which is much younger than I am; this individual at first didn't have a clue what I was talking about but after some reminding they understood which this individual also pointed out that in their titles they had missed out on instalment for months which the person I also watch some of this content with highlights this as well. But I digress: my point is clearly this; before and especially after this instalment it is going to be an uphill struggle to get those people to possibly come back especially with what I have discussed about the storyline and the potential of a trilogy and just for the record they should have come up with 28 years Later: A Dawn of a New Day, you know to indicate that we are taking this franchise somewhere new/different and this final bit will be based on purely speculation: what happens if this third instalment does not get green light? Straight away I want to say I am sure it will, but what if it doesn't? We will never have an ending for this ongoing saga which I will be absolutely furious with if it transpires this way, I just think that this is highly unnecessary they should have just finished off with this trilogy here and now.
