"Could have been a GREAT movie, turned out OK"
"28 Days Later" could have been a great movie! Other reviews have covered the plot lines, so I'm not going to rehash them here. This movie had a lot going for it, including a strong plot, good actors, decent effects, and interesting twists. Where it fell down was in the editing and roundabout storytelling. In short, the movie was disjointed and just too long.

Only recommended for fans of the genre. The squeal, 28 Weeks Later (Widescreen Edition), is actual a better movie and worth seeing if you like this one.

"Lousy Picture Explained, but What about the Lousy Sound?"
Most of the other reviews on this Blu-ray release discuss and explain why the picture quality is considerably less than what we expect from high definition. I'll go along with that.

More annoying to me are the constant extremes in the sound track. There are any number of hushed conversations that I can't even hear, so I don't know what they're saying. Then a door will close and it's frighteningly loud, way beyond any half-way realistic sound mixing.

I was obliged to ride the volume control constantly, upping it to try (sometimes in vain) to hear the dialogue, downing it frantically when the sound would suddenly screech off the screen at me. I found this really obnoxious and amateurish in effect. The video may have been originally stylized such that hi def adds nothing to the experience, but there's no excuse for the wild mismatching of the sound effects, music and dialogue.

I like the movie very much though, and I'm looking forward now to watching 28 Weeks Later in Blu-ray, particularly after reading other reviews here that mention how good the sequel looks in hi def. I'm hoping the sound will be better, too.

"Thinker's Horror"
If you didn't like this movie, that's too bad, especially because that means you just cannot see a good movie even if it were to hit you in the face. The problem with this movie is that the zombies in the movie provide more of a backstory for the movie and the things that are happening.

Instead, what you get is a really smart and intelligent movie with a very good twist at the end that does actually make much better use of the zombies. Some of the images are praise-worthy as well, especially of the horses, the "bright sunny day" over the typical "doom-and-gloom" feel of most horror movies and just an odd soundtrack that, while it doesn't seem to fit in a horror movie only makes it that much creepier.

If you want a bloodbath, watch the sequel, 28 Weeks Later, which is much more intense, bloody, and violent, but just as intelligent and well made, with many hailing it as an on par sequel, a rarity in movies, especially.

If you like horror movies or intelligent movies, this movie is indeed a must-see, similar to, say, Rosemary's Baby, which is hardly scary at all.

*****5 stars*****

"Thoughtful and Terrifying"
Danny Boyle frightens and provokes in this Sci-Fi/horror/Armageddon thriller.

What if you woke up and everyone in London was gone? You are all alone in one of the most bustling cities in the entire world ...? Pretty scary. Now imagine finding out how that came to be ...? Also terrifying. Like a Lovecraft tale of terror, Boyle takes us on an adventure for truth and survival with the excellent Cillian Murphy.

Apocalyptic story lovers will not be disappointed with this film.

Highly recommend!

"Excellent movie"
If you like zombie movies then this is a must have in your movie collection. I like all things Blu-ray so I chose to replace my DVD version with this one for the HD look.

"28 Days Later", First off this film was NOT A ZOMBIE FILM. It was a film about an infection that made the carrier turn into a homicidal bezerker. They did not eat their victims they just tried to infect them by bleeding on them. Nothing zombie about that. The film was passable for what it was, a cutesy little horror film. I will forever be haunted by that idiot main caracter walking through the deserted streets yelling hello. I watched this saying to myself please kill him. I have never wanted the main character of a film to be killed faster than this guy. I just didn't like this poor attampt at horror movie making. P.S. 28 weeks later was even lamer than this film.

"blu-ray picture quality horrible", wow. i love this movie, BUT i rented (glad i did) this movie from netflix on blu ray. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE BLU-RAY VERSION OF THIS MOVIE.


there is probably a reason it only costs $20 on blu-ray. think about it. need i say more?

"A better Zombie movie", This is probably a better zombie movie that is out there, because in the beginning it tells you how the virus was started.

"A really terribly bad movie. ", Lousy premise, lousy acting, lousy filming techniques, lousy color and hues that didn't do anything to change the feeling of the movie. It wasn't scary, it wasn't thrilling. Tedious doesn't even begin to describe this movie. Was the director asleep? Did he just let the actors improvise all the scenes?

"Blu-Ray Quality is Horrible", Blu-Ray Quality is Horrible. Skip it skip it skip it. There's no excuse for this anymore, maybe if it was a hand held camera like Cloverfield it'd be fine.

"28 days later", A definite must see movie if you had not seen either 28 days later or 28 weeks later before. It makes a great leading movie into 28 weeks later. Shows how a mad rage virus can alter a whole country.

"ONE OF THE BEST SUSPENSE MOVIES EVER!", I call it suspense because I don't think it was meant to be horror, or at least not the kind of horror Hollywood usually gives us (which I do not like at all, but unfortunately a lot of people were expecting). It is NOT about zombies, it is about people infected with a virus, so deadly and contagious it goes beyond control.

And I totally agree with another reviewer, what I loved about this movie is that it's something that could definitely happen, and that's what makes it terrifying (at least for me). If you pay attention to the first couple of minutes of the movie, it is very clear where the virus comes from (and that's why I am sure this could definitely happen if they keep doing stupid experiments on animals).

Anyway back to the movie! The acting is great, even though the actors are relatively unknown. It's one of those movies that has so much going on that it seems much longer than it actually is. If your brain cannot process a lot of information then you probably won't like it. But if you enjoy a more serious plot and psychological suspense instead of million-dollars-worth-of-destruction kind of action, then this is a great option!

"Excellent contemporary "zombie" flick", There are very few zombie movies made nowadays. This is considered one of the better ones. Although in this movie, people are induced into attacking others by a virus. It communicates the importance between maintaining vigilance and caring for others. Both points are brought across in different ways. Another Rackworthy movie.

"Still Don't Understand...", Why did this movie get rave reviews? It was too long, too boring, and DID NOT rewrite the "zombie genre" which so many people claimed it did. I found the the plot jumpy and inconsistent. There was no real "feel" of terror. All that being said, I think the main thing that failed this movie was the outside over-hype. It was nothing that I expected, because if it had been, then it would have been good. Sorry, can't recommend this one.

"Horror at its best and most frightening", For me, the best horror is that which touches on those things which, whether in reality or in the mind's eye, could be true. Some people find blood and gore, the ability to invoke the best (or worst, depending upon how you look at it) gross out reactions, as the definition of great horror. And while 28 Weeks Later, like it's predecessor, 28 Days Later, has enough gore to satisfy those with a love of such things, the movie is one of those seemingly all too rare gems in which the very story itself, and not the special effects or the star power of the lead actors, carries this film.

The story picks up six months after the previous film, during a time when humanity is picking up the pieces after the "Rage virus" decimated Britain, a horrible plague that turned anyone infected into a raging, zombie-like menace in a matter of seconds. It begins with a flashback to the time period of the previous film, where we find a man, his wife, and some friends being trapped in he infected zone trying to survive the plague-ravaged landscape around them. Not so surprisingly, their luck quickly runs out, and as most everyone is killed, the husband, in what I thought was a disgusting act of cowardice, leaves his wife at the mercy of these monsters and runs to save his own neck. Then we flash to six months later, the jumping off point for this film, when the man is reunited with his son and daughter, who had somehow been saved from the danger zone prior to the incident with his wife. The man tells the kids that their mother is dead, which is a reasonable expectation considering the predicament he left her in. But later, after the kids sneak back into the danger zone to retrieve mementos from their former home, shocks, surprises, and more await, setting in motion the tragic adventures that befalls these kids throughout the rest of the film.

28 Weeks Later is, on the surface, just a well-made zombie flick. But it's more than that. In the film, we explore the possible ramifications of what might happen if a virus like the Bird Flu, or some other unstoppable plague (natural or manmade) were to emerge into the global arena. No, we won't see some mysterious disease that will miraculous transform man into beast at the blink of an eye, but in 28 Weeks Later we see the panic, the confusion, the brutal forms of martial law where many might be sacrificed to save many more. Imagine having to decide whether to save a human life begging for help, or to slaughter this person because you can't take the risk of getting infected by them, should they be a carrier themselves. Unlike this mystical "Rage" virus, a real plague won't manifest itself in such an obvious way, so how will we know who is safe and who is not? How will we choose whom to save and whom to forsake for the greater good? This world has faced such plagues before, and scientists say that it will eventually happen again. We hope and pray that with today's modern technology and techniques that we can head off any potential disaster in time, but the very same technology could be used to create such a plague, one specially built to defy the very measures we have in place to stop such a thing.

When a horror movie leaves me with these kinds of deep thoughts long after having watched it, that's when I know that the movie was good. If you like visual horror, this film has plenty (in my opinion, more than it needs) to satisfy you. But beware. You might come away not so much afraid of the monster hiding under the bed, but fearing the ticking time bomb lurking in the inevitability of our far too real future.
