28 Years Later (2025) Reviews: What Critics Said

Critics largely welcomed 28 Years Later as a bold, strange and often moving return for Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, though several found its lurching tone and sequel-minded ending uneven.

Most critics say yes: 28 Years Later is a daring, visually inventive horror film anchored by Alfie Williams, though its tonal swerves and open ending divided some. This is a roundup of published reviews; Celluloid has not rated it.
