This film is one of the most bonkers in the franchise and is filledwith thrilling fun. It is crazy in the way it explores how the plague has evolved and how it causes people to act out. At the same time, the science behind the cure fuels the film. Written by Alex Garland and directed by Nia DaCosta, this is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple which is the fourth film of the franchise. This time, however, even though the cure is around the corner the danger is more ravenous. The most spellbindingcharacter in the film is played by Ralph Fiennes in his role as Dr. Kelson.

The criminal in the plagued world is Sir Jimmy Crystal, played by Jack O’Connell. He inducts the young boy Spike (Alfie Williams) into his gang. They are focused on being harmful and stealing anything they can to survive on. Throughout the many wooded areas of the United Kingdom, the plague is still viral. Dr. Kelson does not lose hope and creates a mutated friend who he refers to as Samson (Chi Lewis-Perry). Dr. Kelson has been hiding in make-up for years and finding medicines to combat the virus that has been a continuous and lingering disease throughout the franchise.

For Spike, the violence of Sir Jimmy Crystal is too much to take. Yet, with how faith and humanity are suffering, he finds himself with limited choices. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple exemplifies how keeping those close during difficult times is what really matters, but it is a major challenge when they engage in ravenous attacks just to get by. Dr. Kelson is likely connected to the fate of Spike and those who wish to live because he knows where the resources are. Given how limited they are, their discovery and distribution matters for the future in this rapidly evolving environment.

I found this film to be like a surreal circus. There is a scene in which Fiennes’ performance has him in make-up and going throughout the temple he created to look like a demeaning sacrifice. Everything that goes around comes around in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. It all comes down to choices and moral judgments. At the same time, the lives lost are ones that are gone forever. Yet, building a new world where there is a cure is still lying just below the surface.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple thrives due to the way it wasdirected. Even though Danny Boyle did not direct it, he is in talks to continue with the franchise. The film is set in a perilous landscape in a world that is going off track. There are moments of treachery and moments where life is lacking. Overall, the theme of the movie speaks. The virus has not given up, but neither have those who have lived through it and just keep fighting. Fiennes is the star of the show in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Three-and-a-half out of four stars.

This is a film where adventures and the past are revisited. It is contemporary and extraordinary. The story involves two strangers who are trying to deal with loneliness, and they do so by revisiting various fragments of their life. Directed by Kogonda, this movie really is A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. I rate it as one of the most creative, enticing, and artistic films my eyes have seen. The story is filled full of doors on a path from the past to the present which combine into a puzzle of happiness. It explores the ups and downs of life but also delves into the question of why we are human.

The film begins with David (Colin Farell). He is on his way to a wedding when he meets Sarah (Margot Robbie). They hit it off after exchanging some initial flirtatious and loving vibes. Surprisingly, they find themselves on the same type of road trip when the GPS’s in their cars ask them if they would like to both go on, “A big bold beautiful journey!” Together, David and Sarah embark on a unique adventure. Moments in each of their lives are revisited. Their journey includes solitude, but there is also a powerful exhibit of appreciation for the life that they are both living in the present.

The film has lots of open roads and destinations which lead tosurprises. Many of the scenes are memories from ages ago that occurred in the lives of David and Sarah. With the differentfragments of specific life challenges, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has an innovative pattern of weaving experiences from their past lives with the current journey of David and Sarah together. The chemistry in the performances of Farell and Robbie is outstanding. This fantasy film almost feels like a theatre production utilizing elements of light and illuminating angles to create superb humanistic and artistic value.

What I loved most about the film were the scenes when the characters revisited moments they lived through in prior parts of their lives. There is a moment in which David says, “Sometimes we have to perform to see the truth!” I could relate to that sentiment and many others during A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. The darkness of the past is what causes the film to have an unsettling vibe. There is another quote by David, where he says, “Life is better when you are open!” The lives of David and Sarah are revealed in a very open manner as they open up to each other and relive the errors they’ve made in their lives. It is an intriguing ride while these characters learn more about the inevitable aspects and human benefits of love.

The themes of appreciation, acceptance, and self-discovery are highlighted in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. This is a gem of a movie that fuels lots of emotions and channels deep feelings which result in a grandeur of happiness. I believe this is one of the most thought-provoking films of 2025. Three-and-a-half out of four stars.
