28 Weeks Later

Saw this tonight, as a last hooray with my fellow Resident Assistants at school.

What a fantastic movie. Sure it wasn't 28 days later, but it had the same feel, with more flair.

I had a few gripes

Spoiler:
They took out Doyle winking when pushing the car. I think that would have given more charisma to his death, and more closure to it. I hate that he died, but that wouldn have made it easier to swallow.


Anyone else?

It doesn't really ruin the first, Its gotta be one of my favorite sequels,

And honestly
Spoiler:
I enjoy how drastically more dark the film is in comparison to DAYS. Like Days had a happy ending, this has a terribly, terribly downer ending (though meant for a sequel). great contrast.

the great thing about how the movie begins right near the end of the first one with a different character.. this movie is more scarier than the first one.. you see the rage infested people more in this one and the budget is better this time around.. Also the camera still does that jerkiness feeling to it and there's a sh*tload of running more now.

Yes.

However the movie is more a bigger one this time around.

Don't listen to donny, the later thing of the two you mentioned is more right than the first.

But not entirely.

I want to see this. I LOVED the first one (of course, we all know of my love of the zombiefied and zombie-like).

isn't it great that 28 days later was around the time when the zombie genre started to come alive again.

anyways, the first one was fantastic.. the 2nd makes it better and more scarier and trust me, you will love every moment of it.

Anyways, the infected in these 2 movies are not zombies! they may eat flesh but they are people infected with rage and they do die of starvation.

28 Days late was never a zombie movie. It was inspired (if memory serves) by Resident evil and Day of the triffids.

The people are infected not undead.

Hehe, hence why I said 'zombie-like'. I'm disgustingly well-versed in such things. (Have about every game that includes such things and looove the movies).



...Unless that wasn't meant for me... and in that case... Yay, I just got another post in the post count!

Alright now this might surprised you all, but I liked it.

Now it wasn't as good as #1 but it wasn't bad. And had I not seen #1 first I would have totally loved it. It was insane and one of the most F'ed up movies I've seen in awhile.
