New Release Review - "28 Years Later"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-06-26

Following the conclusion of the original run of Planet of the Apes movies in the '70s, European cinemagoers were surprised to find a new batch of Planet of the Apes movies arriving in their local picture palaces. These new movies weren't actually movies at all, but two episodes of the Planet of the Apes TV show stitched together to fill a feature length running time. 28 Years Later, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland's belated (or five years early?) third instalment of their not-zombie franchise, might be mistaken for two episodes of The Walking Dead glued together and released into cinemas.

DS Special Projects

If you're looking for the place in Jersey City that is farthest from deep space, Hamilton Park would be that place. Everything about the neighborhood is intensely terrestrial. It's green, it's full of life, and it's the home of many people who are proximate to earthly power of one kind or another. Hamilton Park exudes a spirit of closeness, with street-level businesses and stoop-level life, the rest of the Downtown in walking distance, and New York City on the far side of the tunnel. Those who convene there do not seem like lost astronauts. There's too much at their fingertips for them to bother thinking about the void.

Loss, we've all suffered it. Some of us more than others,some less and still yet there are those of us who've not had loss of any significance to this point. Loss, like anything else, is directly related to perspective. What may seem like a huge loss to one, is insignificant to another. People pass away, bad days do the same, they fade into the night or disappear at the bottom of one's favorite drink until they are swept away by the morning's sunrise and things are new. Some loss stays a bit longer, adding scars to our bodies until they become topographical maps of memories; reminders of what not to do or what we didn't do or should've done.
