And then there are movies people want to see.

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have reunited for “28 Years Later” and critics are eating it up.

Opening tomorrow night, “28 Years Later” — the sequel to “28 Days Later” — looks like it will be big.

On Rotten Tomatoes the critics score is a stunning 95%.

The AP says: “an unusually soulful coming-of-age movie considering the number of spinal cords that get ripped right out of bodies.”

Time Out: “Boyle reinvents the zombie movie as a bloody pop-art installation.”

Not everyone is in agreement. There are three or four ”rotten” reviews, and some “fresh” that are mixed. But for the most part, “28 Years Later” should be a hit this weekend.

Boyle is the beloved, award winning director “Slumdog Millionaire,” as well as “127 Hours,” “Yesterday,” “Trainspotting,”

Jodie Comer, potential new James Bond Aaron Taylor Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and Jack O’Connell star in this one.
