Another user wrote, “Rating (4.25/5) #28YearsLater...An extremely bold and technically brilliant film with 10/10 cinematography and score. However, it will have polarising reactions for sure. (1/6)”

"28 Years Later Review:28 Years Later is one of the strongest zombie movies I’ve seen in some time. Took some getting used to, but it had a cool natural style, great acting, and lots of fun zombie gore! Some pacing issues but I’m excited for more, go see it...9/10 | 4.5 Stars", wrote the third user.

Another user wrote, "#28YearsLater both subverted and exceeded all my expectations. Gorgeously shot, full of outstanding performances and the type of nail-biting thrills and dynamic editing we’ve come to expect from this franchise, it still manages to be surprising in all the best ways. 5/5".

28 Years Later is the third installment after 28 Days Later in 2002 and 28 Weeks Later in 2007. 28 Years Later tells the story of a group of survivors who have escaped from the rage virus and are living on a small island.
