Well done one and all. You were all brought up right. I'm easily distracted (yeah I know, that's a me problem) but it's the least annoying, most pleasurable cinema experience I've had in years. Not one late arrival, not one person who thought they were in their sitting room and it was time for a nice aul chat, and, shock horror, not one single person looked at their phone (and I was pretty high up in the rows) throughout the whole showing. Again, well done all, more of this please.👍

  3. This was a major turn off for me going to see any recent movies…might give cinemas another chance

  7. Saw it last night …. movie is great …. go see it …. practice your Swedish first 😉

  8. The quality of that image is about the same as 28 days later was

  9. It has been known to happen. I had a similarly pleasant experience watching Minecraft.

  11. To those asking, I really enjoyed it, my viewing partner less so. It’s very different from the other two installments, although more like the first in terms of tone and pacing. Starts off like a runaway train, and the new world building is well handled. Far more show than tell. It feels visceral and the world feels lived in. This opening section is absolutely gorgeous too. Some really wonderful night photography in particular. It gets slower, quieter and a more personal story on the second act. Young Alfie Williams and Jodie Comer really, really shine in this section (well, Williams is the standout of the whole film, kid actors can be so hit and miss, but this kid brings so much heart to the role, he’s great). And then ramps up again in the final act but not as much as you’d expect. This is the beginning of a trilogy after all.

    I hate rating a film but I’d go with 8/10 on this initial viewing. My mate said more like 6.5 for him.

    I’m spoilering the next bit: >!The final 5 mins is feckin bonkers. But it’s a call back to both the very beginning of the film and an act in the middle that will obviously be one pivotal as the series progresses. However, I did not expect Jimmy Saville velvet track suit wearing Power Ranger Ninjas to come to the rescue. As I said, an absolutely bonkers way to finish. Does wet the appetite to what to come next though.!<

  14. Ill go on:
    – the acting was poor. the young kid and sick mom couldnt carry the roles. felt no real chemisty.
    – the lore behind the island could have been better done.
    – how he went to save his mom but then is ok with placing her skull one scene later!!! Do me a favor!!
    – the the quickness of how he turned on his dad
    – that his dad didnt go after him and broke the village protocal (could have been a big ark)
    – why the alpha has a big dick.no need
    – how were the floor zombiea so fat on worms??
    – the sweedish guy and him trying to create comic relief… was done so poorly. you could have followed him from the start like following a full dif story so when it got to him and the kid meeting you were bought in!!

    honestly it was someone asleep behind the wheel

  15. I’ve always had a good experience in the Square cinema, even bringing kids to kids movies. I don’t know why it’s all more civilized than Liffey Valley or Cineworld, but it is! Maybe Tallaght people are proud about the square, I don’t know.
