28 Days Later

I did not like 28 Days Later at all. The plot was a bit interesting, but it didn't involve me in any way. I felt generally bored for a lot of the movie. It wasn't scary in the least. I also felt the end was a bit abrupt. None of my friends liked it either, so maybe that contributes to my opinion...but either way, I didn't like it very much.

Holden, did you ever give this film a grade? Am I just not seeing it?

I liked the first two acts a lot, but the third was a bit of a letdown.

B+

I've seen it well over a dozen times, and I just plain like it. Good genre fun. Well made little flick.

well, dah!!!

I agree. Also one of the best examples of DV filmmaking.
A solid *** out of **** from me.

Meanwhile, out of interest, how many movies do you watch in a day, Holden? I remember it wasn't that long ago [or maybe it was] that you were getting the 28 Days Later DVD, and you've already seen the film over a dozen times? And I'm assuming, of course, that it's not the only movie you've purchased and watched countless times in the past number of months. Not to mention every other way you can see a movie...

I wish I had the time, man. I really do.

I dunno. Depends on the day.

Was 28 Days Later actually shot on DV? I hadn't heard about that.

All accept the last sequence.

28 Days later is a great film, one of my favourites this century. Danny Boyle is a great director, always managing to find interesting projects.

Yeah, couldn't you tell? Very gritty, very glaring. It was most obvious in the climax, especially in the rain.

lol n7of9 - you know what I meant...

You make a good point...the purpose of that seen wasn't a pleasure meter...the purpose was to set a gritty real life tone to the movie...And besides, the was 100 different things to look at during that scene, why they couldnt take their eyes off that one little area, is on them, not the director...

Their don't resemble zombies at all, zombies are walking dead corpses with rotting flesh...in this movie, the people are alive and breathing...and just have a bad case of rabies, like Cujo did in Stephen Kings movie.

Yes, their not zombies, I think we were all just conditioned to do that...

I wouldn't even say insane, just 'driven'...the virus just seems to change their natures...a virus invented in a labrotrory...maybe for war fare or something...to make the ultimate fighting soldier...the movie never really explores that aspect...

Rule #1. If you want to get scared watching a movie, always watch it alone...watching a scary movie with friends or a friend will lesson the effect...
Always watch alone and at night for full effect...
