I don’t understand 28 Weeks Later. Why is there somber music playing when they raze London?

    scene with the raven

    is that the scene with the drop of blood that falls into someone’s eye from a raven or something? (my memories of the movie are a little unclear) because that’s the same point where I lost interest

      is that the scene

      Yes.

      that’s the same point where I lost interest

      It’s weird. It’s like a two part miniseries where the plot tanked because the writer didn’t know what to do in the second episode and it shows. I watched Garland’s Sunshine more than a decade ago and all I can remember is how much I hated the second half. It had a similar lurch in tone.

      spoiler

      From what I remember - it basically becomes a slasher movie. Why have a sci-fi movie with a crew going all the way to the sun to have that???

      If Garland wasn’t involved - I’d love to see the rest of the 28 Days Later franchise. The idea of a jump to 28 years later is fascinating. But he is involved so I’m skipping it.
