It's definitely more like the first. And it's pretty good. The only thing is some characters (that are left alive by the end) don't really get full arcs, presumably because they figure they can get around to them in 28 Years Later Part II or Part III.

I was wondering about the bit of news that this movie was shot exclusively on iPhones, and why that was. Then I rewatched 28 Days Later and saw what sh** quality was, then I read that Boyle shot 28 Days Later on the Canon XL1, which is basically just a consumer grade camera you could buy anywhere back in the early 2000s for a few hundred dollars that only shoots at a 480p that looks like crap. He did that intentionally to make the movie look like a found footage thing, and now with 28 Years Later and iPhones he's semi-doing that again.

But to my eyes, I can TELL it's shot on iPhones, especially when there's low light. Lots of weird motion blurring and other blurring to give things artificial clarity.
