Just saw 28 weeks later, my thoughts.

I went tonight with a friend of mine, and saw 28 weeks later. I enjoyed it more so than I did 28 days later, although both films are very different and still very similar, lots of good action, a decent story line and a wierd ending that'll make ya wonder. This isn't really a zombie movie, the most common bitch about the films is that they go fast or blah blah blah. It's a virus transmitted by saliva or blood, very similar to HIV and it causes people to go insane, they are very much alove, just basically brain dead, they can be killed by bullet wounds, starvation and poison gas unlike zombies who are immune to most anything. I liked it, anyone else seen it? any thoughts?

I'll have to check that one out

 

[GrimJack]

Saw it, and I wasn't impressed. The first one was filmed on a $5000 pound budget... and they did a better job with the camera. Too much shaky cam work in the new one. And a few extra plot holes... like the fact that the kid has infected blood and brains spattered all over his shirt for half the movie, but does anyone get infected from it? Hell no... Or the other big one - the car isn't starting (it cranks, which is a miracle, considering that it hasn't been used in 6 months) but it won't fire. So, naturally, you should push start it, right? Oh, and the killer gas will stay out of a car if you close the windows and vents. Suuuure. Worse, you can jump out, close the door, and the toxic gas won't just kill the other occupants of the car. And an attack chopper can't hit a Volvo driving along the road.

Anyway, I'll stop.

I am a sucker for any good post apoc movie, I havent seen it but I LOVED 28 days later, did they keep the gritty/real feel of the first one?

 

[Wills7MGTE]

The shaky camera was intentional to create a sense of panic, anxiety, etc. Thats a personal taste issue some of us love it some don't, it wasn't prevalant the entire film. I totally agree on the gas getting into the car, kinda like a t shirt is not gonna stop it from getting into your eyes nose or mouth either. The car starting isn't realistic but its not completely nuts either, if it had been a mk3 I'd have agreed LOL. The boy had dried blood on him and nobody really touched him a lot, although it is a bit exagerated I guess, the gunship thing, well lets just say you give too much credit to the gunner of the helicopter. It was a machine gun being fired not a heat seeking missle so it can miss especially when the choppers doing 100+ the cars doing maybe 50 or 60 and zig zagging in an urban enviroment.

Sorry you disliked it but I liked it a lot I liked the first one a lot too. Call me crazy

I loved the film. I haven't seen the first one but the immunity thing was pretty cool

 

[SupraOfDoom]

I loved it... I'd have to tie it with the first one.... now I'm waiting for the sequel.

 

[bigunitpitcher22]

Was it better than the movie Doom?

Or how the military didn't notice that guy was cruising around the entire day in their helicopter chasing his friend who left his post.

I'm a big nitpicker too:icon_bigg lol

Are you nucking futs? Doom was like watching a blank screen. Boring as fuck...

though it was pretty cool when they went into FPS mode.

I'm probably gunna check it out next week once when my brother is visiting

The beginning of the movie scared the shit out of me. I was very impressed with the film, and although there were some things that just made you go

"What the F^$%!"

it was still a very good movie in my book. I like the idea of a crazy virus like that rather then zombahz.

[Wills7MGTE]

The movie wins!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA besides the ending I did not see coming, I was thing it would be a typical nuke em situation. Volvo Wagon 1 Apache Longbow 0

 

[SupraOfDoom]

The Doom movie could have been good... but of course they made it not based on the games story, added a wrestler in it ect. For those of you looking for some good SCI FI books, you need Doom 1-4... they are awesome.. my fav books. They were written by a Star Trek novel writer.

 

[Striker]

whos idea was it to put a wrestler into a movie anyways? you would think they had already known he was a bad actor.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I just saw it. I enjoyed it a lot.
It wasn't as good as the first one imo. Kept me interested until the end.
Some of the shaky camera work got on my nerves too, there was just a bit too much.
