Despite numerous positive reviews, there are also some negative ones.

This film is directed by Danny Boyle and scripted by Alex Garland, featuring a stellar cast that includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, Cillian Murphy, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Edvin Ryding. Set on the ‘Holy Island,’ the geographical landscape provides a haven for establishing a secure society against external threats. However, the absence of further conditions to ensure safety of life leads the protagonists to venture into the mainland in search of new opportunities, confronting the challenges posed by those infected with a rage virus.
