28 Years Later is finally here. And it's not just a return, it's the beginning of something new. What indeed caught me off guard, in the best way, is that this isn't a direct sequel. Instead, it launches a whole new trilogy.

Rather than picking up where 28 Days or 28 Weeks left off, this one takes a step forward to explore what decades of isolation have done to a quarantined Britain. We're not, at this point at least, reuniting with old characters nor storylines introduced earlier; It's about showing the long shadow the Rage virus has cast over time.

The pacing is slow and deliberate, and the story only gives you glimpses of the bigger picture. It becomes obvious from early on that this is just the beginning, and by the end, we still know very little. That might frustrate some people, but I found it totally gripping.

Visually, the film is stunning. The cinematography feels fresh, the editing is sharp and innovative, and the direction is confident. The cast does a fantastic job. The movie gets gory at times, in the most pleasant way possible. What also surprised me, was how emotionally driven the film was.

The trailer didn't give much away - thankfully.

All in all, this is a strong entry that respects what came before but isn't afraid to try something different. I'd put it at a solid 8/10. I'm already counting down to January 2026 to see where they take it next.

Trainwreck: Poop Cruise (2025) starts off with a weirdly intriguing premise; enough to make you press play out of morbid curiosity. But it doesn't take long to realize there's not much beneath the surface. The documentary feels like typical Netflix filler: shallow, rushed, and you could say, somewhat intellectually insulting.

The incident itself is so anticlimactic, many might've been better off never hearing about it.

The documentary is just short enough to keep you watching, only to leave you wondering why you bothered.

Hopefully this is just throwaway content, and Netflix has something better cooking.

Passengers (2016) kicks off with a promising setup: A man wakes up too early on a spaceship and faces a huge moral choice. The movie feels like it could dive into big questions about loneliness and what it means to be human.

But halfway through, the movie shifts gears into a predictable romance and never quite recovers. The space setting ends up feeling more like a backdrop than a meaningful part of the story.

Visually, the movie looks great, and the main actors do a decent job, though Laurence Fishburne deserved way more screen time.

I did enjoy the movie at times, but it feels kind of a letdown in the end.
