Summary: Great film in so many ways
Review: This movie is more than just a "zombie flick". I'm not going to go fanboy on you over it but I will say it's a solid film in it's genre. It's beginning leads us not only into the plight of the main character but also gives us a feeling of quiet desperation as he roams the streets looking for any sign of life in a world turned upside down while he was out of it. The "zombies" aren't actually zombies... the movie even deals with that by calling them infected. This movie ushered in a new era for the zombie flick featuring fast moving very contagious (one drop o' blood will do it) madmen contaminated with rage and willfully spreading the disease. In the slow moments, as all great horror movies must have to let the viewer check if their heart has yet exploded, they give us vital plot. More importantly than that, the cast gives you a realistic look at what someone who's going through a crisis of this magnitude might be thinking. We'd all try to make sence of it when we had the time to catch our breath. It was a very well done oridgional film in a genra which thrives on a lack of new ideas. On the DVD, there are a couple alternate endings. I think I enjoyed watching them as much as I did the movie. An absolute must own for anyone with a zombie collection.

Summary: Could this be a reality?
Review: 28 Days Later is without a doubt a 'thinking person's' horror flick, filled with plently of the future reality of 'what if' that keep the viewer on the edge of their seat.
The characters were more in-depth than I expected and it was wonderful to watch them grow and learn from each experience. I considered 28 Days Later more a movie of suspense than true horror and without doubt it was worth my attention, held my attention and the great care, editing, action and dialogoue are a tribute to its creaters. Set in a world beset with a plaque that fills that person with immediate rage (this is by no means a slow paced thriller) it has more in common with Stephen King's The Stand than it does with zombies. In truth it is basically a story of survival and commiment to others and what is learned along the path when your world or the world you know is taken away from you. A terrific thriller than doesn't rely on special effects but on the directions of its creators and the acting of its cast.

Summary: 28 Minutes Later
Review: What begins as a promising scenario of the apocalypse ultimately transforms into a brainless gore fest--it almost seems as if the director tried to both delight the intelligence and pander to the base, but did the work so sloppily that the combination merely splatters into a jumbled mess of indecisions. The early part of the movie--beautifully suffused with sepia tone and amateurish touch--portends ominous gloom, but once the point is streched an hour too long the movie becomes a repetitious bore; only to descend into a blood and flesh spurt-o-rama during its unmajestic ending. 28 minutes later into the story, we actually root for the zombies as they become a more animated and interesting presence than the wandering humans. If there is a saving grace to the film, it is its consistently cynical outlook. The take-home message, that humanity is capable of a force more pernicious than the most destructive epidemic, is a chilling proposition, yet seemingly true, if today's events are any measure of what awaits us in the near future. It is a scary world, indeed.

Summary: not bad
Review: Do people really like this movie because it was good or because it was done by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave)? I have to wonder because although it was okay, it was also incredibly over-rated. While it was fairly interesting, it definitly didn't add anything to the genre. However, it does come very close to plagiarizing George Romero's Dead series. I've heard a lot of people say that the similarities between these movies are an homage, but I just can't see it that way. When someone strings together several scenarios from another person's work and passes it off as their own that's either plagiarism or just lazy.
One thing that really bothered me about this "horror" movie was that it wasn't that scary. There were a few thrilling moments in the movie, but none of it was all that fear inducing. The scene where the characters were driving through the countryside was actually quite pleasent (like a greeting card). They had a picnic, for crying out loud! Considering that "the infected" couldn't go out in daylight, why not just find a secure building and stay there. Just lock the doors at night (which most people do anyway). Doesn't sound so terrible to me.
That isn't to say that the film was bad. It does seem to have an intellect absent from other movies like it and was definitly entertaining. I just think, as I said before, it's over-rated. I'd reccommend that you rent before you buy.

Summary: Hello? Hello? HELLO!!!
Review: When this movie came out, all I kept thinking about was, 'Not another zombie movie.'
Well again I was wrong. This wasn't a zombie flick at all,
this movie was only suppose to make you think of a few
things...
It was as the disease was called in the movie rage. Now thing about, rage hits the streets everyday, to some extent how far would a human mind go?
In this case '28 Days Later' the 'rage'of one person pent up feeling boiling over in to hate, anger, hurt, fear, and among other things.
It was paranoia, (we see this everyday) the paranoia of thinking what would it be like if you were the only one,
being alone, no one to care for you and to take care off,
the only person in the world, losing your mind, losing your state of being, and to or or what purpose?
And love, in any movie of any kind their is always the need for love. It's a sentiment that eases the hurt and suffer the pain (now that's an oxy moron, but think about it)
One thing that really got my attention was the fact that the director payed really close and minor attention to the main characters, Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris ....
Do watch, do enjoy, and stop comparing it to other Zombie movies.

Summary: HMMMM could this be a rip off from???
Review: I don't have much to say about this movie, but that whoever made it, ripped off the story line from do you remember, let see now... "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie?" The movie was dreadfully boring and can someone please tell me what in the name of zombie films was soooo scary about it? Yuck!

Summary: Intense
Review: This is a SCARY movie. The premise begins as a post-apocolyptic race through London, evading the biological terror that has consumed and destroyed the world, then shifts abruptly to an entirely new (but not unpredictable) enemy that brings some sense of closure to the horror of the film's premise. It took me several sittings to watch this movie in it's entirety, it's THAT scary. Enough gore to keep you squinting between your fingers, but very well done and the cast performs admirably in what could have very easily degraded into another b-movie sci-fi flick. Well directed, well-written, and well-acted. A unique classic in the sci-fi horror genre.

Summary: I'm in love... hardcore
Review: Seeing this movie in the theater was an amazing experience. The actors were so convincing, the music alone gave me chills, the camera shots left so much to the imagination... I was in shock. Afterwards, I could barely speak! Buying the DVD was a natural response, and I'm not disappointed. The film still packs a punch. Don't think that it's just another zombie movie, it's also a story about coming to the end of the world and having to fight for your sanity and your beliefs over everything else pushing you down. We the audience rely on Danny Boyle to make everything right in the end, and he does a few times over. Those who like zombie films must own this. Unlike most other films in the horror genre, this one is so well done that it could be a building block to better and more intellectual horror films. You must see this to believe it, truly!

Summary: What a pile of crap
Review: The title of this review pretty much sums it up...but lets not stop there. Never before have I seen a film where at the end of it I was actually ANGRY that I had sat through this uninspired pile of fesces. No joke... I hope that the director of this movie gets dragged away by wolves or savagly murdered in front of all the horror fans in the world. Quite possibly the worst movie ever.... EVER!!! i would rather sit down with every movie that Whoopi Goldberg has ever starred in and watch them in a 48 hour marathon than subject my poor eyes to this trivial garbage again. shame shame.

Summary: Rent it first.
Review: The ending killed this movie. I would have given it four stars if the ending had left a sour feeling in my stomach, but it didn't. The "what if" alternate ending is a little better, but, without giving anything away, the ending was just too happy. The first hour and a half of this movie were terrific, I was spellbound, but everything just fell apart in the last twenty minutes and the ending was just so typical. The ending was so bad that it reminded me of your average, run of the mill Hollywood horror movie. This brought to mind the bad ending of the novel "Hannibal" by Thomas Harris. I read 700 pages of pure bliss only to be totally let down in the last chapter. This is what 28 Days later did for me. I hope Danny Boyle's next movie is as good as "Trainspotting."
