28 Days Later

I thought 28 Days Later was pretty damn good. There were some cheesy scenes, but they were more than outdone by the vast city shots of a virtually empty London, and while it wasn't exactly scary, a lot of scenes were pretty damn intense. Great music too. Trainspotting was a cool movie too, so I sorta expected this...

Yay someone actually replied to the original subject and liked the movie (^_^

But yes... vast city shots of a virtually empty London = Neat
Intenseness = Great
Music = Sexy

My sister was in britain last year cuz of university and she saw it(28 days later). Sounding like a pretty sweet movie. I'll probably see it on sunday night.

Sorry for bringing up an old movie thread again

I saw this movie yesterday, I liked it.
The last scenes with the marines were awesome!
Ending was sweet.

Dawn of the Dead was much better, but I like any movie with zombies so it gets a thumbs up from me.

Hrmm.. 28 days had a better story line there was actually an experiment gone awry I never did see what caused the people to go crazy in dawn of the dead...

Ugh, I thought 28 Days Later was total rubbish. The "zombies" do nothing more than hiss, gurgle, and kinda slap you around when they finally catch you. Musta been the girliest pack of zombies I'd ever seen. And don't even get me started on the ending. JETS. HELLO. END. It was the "punch yourself in the face" kind of stupid.

Return of the Living Dead is the pinnacle of zombie movies anyway. "Send more cops"

28 Dyas Later's storyline was that they were infected by "rage"... and you think thats good? I actually thought the storyboard ending they had was much better than the one's that made it to film.

In none of the "...of the dead" movies is it ever explained why they come back to life. Thats the point. You have to understand the inspiration for the film. George Romero is a socialist. He made the Dead movies as a metaphor for the inevitable rise of the proletariat over the upper classes. The remake kept this theme.

Also, Dawn of the Dead had much better character development and it was more about the people who were surrounded by the zombies than the zombies themselves.
