28 Days Later...


Recommended Posts

I have a fetish for understated movies. This is one-a-them. Yes, there are zombies, and yes, it is "scary" - but it is miraculously free of great many trite conventions of the scary zombie genre. A good, subtle movie.

 

Hey, remember that Half-Life movie we were senselessly speculating about? How about Danny Boyle for director? 28 Days Later and Half-Life have some superficially similar stories too... T'would be ****ing wicked!

i saw this a few weeks ago. liked it, especially the sequences with the tense music (i.e. when he's walking around at the beginning at can't find anyone, and near the end when the zombie sh*t is happening in the bunker).

 

the main character's hot, too. although there were some teenagers in the audience who kept snickering when they saw him naked.

I agree with you, but the last 25 minutes are anything but subtle. That's where I think the movie goes wrong. It turns into just a mindless action movie, completely different than the rest of the movie.

I don't think it becomes a true mindless action movie. The very end:

...seems like a play of the annalist who wasn't too happy with the historical ending so he improvised.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

I've learned not to let the ending of a movie spoil it for me if the rest of the movie is salvagable. :}P

 

In the end, it must be a good movie because I am still thinking about it....
