28 Years Later edit ideas. (Spoilers)

I saw the 3rd film in the series. Loved it. A beautiful film about loss and mortality through the eyes of a child. The only things that spoil it are the curses of modern cinema, rememberberries and the necessity to end with a set up for the sequel. The last two minutes creates such a tonal whiplash that it almost spoils a very good film.

So I thought perfect fan edit material.

My suggestions thus far, splice in footage from a suitable film to give a more clear introduction to the Swiss marines

Cut the rememberberries from Eric about his friend the delivery driver (oh yes…just like the guy in first film.ha ha ha…no).

Stop the film with the islanders reading the letter and Spike’s dad distressed or maybe with Spike cooking the fish pondering his next move but no Jim’ll Fix It scene.

Possibly some sort of montage that explains how the French halted their outbreak from the previous film.

It’s a very watchable film in its current state, not as horrific as the first one but more melancholic and poignant. It just needs a little TLC.

Any other observations and suggestions?

Remember this is an alternate timeline where the UK ended in the 90’s…okay a different timeline where the UK ended in the 90s so presumably the Jimmy plot is about the corruption of youth as Sir Jim hadn’t been officially exposed yet. It’s good each film has something to say about the contemporary world. Just wish they had left that for the next film.

If sourcing material to establish the Swiss soldiers is impossible cutting their introductory action scene might have a similar effect. It is a good sequence but if we only ever meet Eric he explains how he got there anyway making the earlier scene narratively redunant. We know what alphas are, we have seen them rip the head off a stag as a trophy. As is their sudden appearance is kind of confusing without any establishment.
