Like some other reviews said it's not exactly a sequel but then again it's 28 years later. Things have become weirder. It's strange and weird but I still loved it and hearing God Speed You Black Emperor was a nice icing on the cake. It's not fast, and the main focus is not action or even zombies. It's deeper and more philosophical.

I can see how some folks who are more used to conventional films have problems understanding it. I totally get it.

Edit: First, I said it was not a proper sequel but then I watched the previous two movies and I realised how wrong I was. I think the problem is that we don't actually remember the previous movies well because we saw them a long time ago. So after watching both movies I can confidently say that this in fact is a real sequel. Go watch the previous movies again if you really want to compare them.

It's a commentary on how messed up society is, how thirsty for a good shot of violence we have become and how desensitized we have become to it. The final scene makes this clear by servings as a poignant culmination of this theme. It likely underscores how violence has become both a commodity and a source of voyeuristic satisfaction. Garland seems to be asking viewers to reflect on the dangerous implications of this desensitization, where the line between reality and entertainment is increasingly blurred. The fact that society consumes violence without questioning its impact is a sobering reflection on our collective moral decay.

Definitely a great film. Acting performance is superb and pacing hits the sweet spot.
