"For many viewers hoping for a non-stop thrill ride with 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's long-awaited return to the zombie franchise that began with the wildly influential 28 Days Later, its somber third-act turn may have been a bit of a headscratcher. The brawny battle of humans versus Infected was replaced with a meditative tribute to life, memory, and whatever is left of our dwindling humanity."
"A direct sequel to 28 Years Later, The Bone Temple focuses on the story of Spike (Alfie Williams) as he gets inducted into the cult of Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal (Jack O'Connell), whose gang of psychopathic children gleefully hunt Infected for sport while terrorizing any human survivors who cross their paths. Sir Lord Jimmy was the child we saw in the terrifying prologue in 28 Years Later, who witnessed the outbreak"
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple continues the franchise's focus on the aftermath of the Rage Virus, centering on Spike's induction into Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal's cult of psychopathic children who hunt Infected for sport and terrorize survivors. Sir Lord Jimmy witnessed the outbreak as a child and formed a devil-worshipping, apocalyptic worldview. The sequel foregrounds Ralph Fiennes' Dr. Ian Kelson and his Bone Temple, which symbolizes dedication to memory, life, and dwindling humanity. The film balances bombastic action and gore with contemplative themes about the degradation of humanity, faith, and the moral costs of survival.
