Summary: Not much of a zombie movie but it's worth watching
Review: It is hard to descride this movie to be a zombie movie. First they hardly show the zombies it is freaky and when they dont it's good. I do not call this a zombie movie I just call it a Survivle movie. The puking of the zombie's was a nice cool thing but dont call it a zombie movie. It has zombies in it but only 70% of the movie. The best part in the movie is the final battle.

Summary: Not for fangirls or those wanting a slasher zombie flick
Review: 28 Days Later" is not simply a zombie/horror flick for those who are hoping for blood, gore and information thrown at them. The level at which one must watch this movie is far different from the level needed to watch teen slashers such as "Scream" or other zombie movies. First of all, nowhere is there a mention of zombies. They are infected. That is what is truly frightening about this film. They are humans, they are alive. They are simply incapable of feeling any other emotion but blinding, crippling rage.This is not by any means a horror in the traditional sense. Rather, it is a psychological horror. The idea of the movie is terrifying. Awakening in a hospital, completely alone and disoriented, knowing only that something has wiped out the civilization of such a large city as London. This is a truly foreshadowing movie, in the wake of the deadly diseases overcoming the world in recent times. One must watch this movie with a complete open mind, ready to accept that this is what society could very well revert to. The soldiers, in particular, are a proper example. They have given up hope after such a short time. They have already convinced themselves that there is no other way. The film does not contain any well known actors (save for Christopher Eccleston, although here in the US many have not heard of him). Therefore, you are not drawn to any character because of the actor portraying them. You are drawn to them for the way Alex Garland has written them. Do not watch "28 Days Later" expecting to cower beneath your seat with a soiled pair of pants. The fear inflicted from this movie is a much more real fear. Solitude. Desolation. Destruction. No blood and gore could do the same.

Summary: Oh my god!
Review: Haven't seen such terrible movie for a long time!! The idea is old. You can pretty much predict what's gonna happen next which is terrible for an action movie. The worst is this kinda stories usually end up with no where to go and so does this movie. I believe those people who made the film still wandering around what they gonna do for the end during the hooting and that's why you can see the alternative endings in the DVD. I don't even what to see those endings because they will still lead NO WHERE! Bottom line: Don't waste your time.

Summary: one of the worst movies I have ever seen
Review: One of the worst movies I have ever seen. It seems to suggest that rage is a dangerous thing, but even the humans in this movie is full of a lot of rage. And then there is very bad acting: it is near end of the world, and the humans went into a grocery store, and the girl Selena had a merry grin on her face because she can take anything without paying. Give me a break. And even though they kept on running away, Selena always had a just-after-salon hairstyle. [warning: spoiler ahead...] Also, why would Jim know that releasing the infected in the army house would not affect the two girls? It is pretty much a senseless heroic, "oh, he is the one" type of movie.

Summary: Wow.
Review: Man, I loved this movie! At first, when I read the back of the box, I thought it would only be so-so, but was I blown away. I've found that people other love this movie, or hate it. I was impressed that the zombies ran instead of just walked, it made it twice as creepy. Great movie, definitely worth buying!

Summary: Boring and not scary at all...
Review: Dare I say it? Bordello of Blood was a better movie than this. The director has some talent for camera angles and scenery, but it stops there. Even a supporting actor from Braveheart can't save this steaming pile. The virus is never explained. You only see a snippet of its origins, then the rest is supposed to be 28 days later, after the virus wipes out most of the population. What's not explained is how a person can instantly be turned into a zombie that vomits blood and has red eyes. Nor does it explain what exactly the infected do to their victims. You never see the zombies eat anyone, only attacking and vomiting. So I ask you, what's the whole purpose of this movie? The plot is thinner than a dime. Then there's the European angle on the movie. The musical choices are odd. In the end it's a B movie hyped up to be the scariest movie you've ever seen. It's not scary at all. The virus concept just has no depth or explanation, therefore it's just plain mindless. It's sad these actors wasted their talents on this movie. Maybe this passes for horror in Europe, but here in the US it's subpar.

Summary: Great Movie If...
Review: I really liked this movie, but I also like bleak endings. I would say this is a very good remake of Omega Man, and also Last Man on Earth. This does not come up to the bleakness of LMOE (which is one of my Top 10 of all time), but beats the heck out of Omega Man. If your into thinking films and don't need to be babysat through a movie (directors leading you to all your assumptions), by all means purchase this movie. If you like your movies in the Julia Roberts/Wil Smith vein, you probably should look elsewhere.

Summary: EXCELLENT movie, if you pay attention!
Review: I've read SO many negative comments about this movie that are totally off the mark!! People complain that there is "no plot" or that it's thin because the environment is unoriginal. I agree that the premise has been told time and time again, but this film has a STORY - not a thin one about zombies and the end of the world - but a very emotional and complex one about four people who have to cope in it. The character development is absolutely brilliant, with stylish, natural comedy. This movie isn't meant as a pop-corn horror flick, but a "thinker thriller". And the plot has 0 holes, contrary to what other people might tell you. The infection is in England alone (a soldier goes crazy and yells "Just imagine, right now, the rest of the world is continuing as normal! They quarentined us! What are we supposed to do on a little diseased island?!"). So everyone who thinks they have all the answers as to why this movie should be "bad", watch the movie again and pay attention. Everyone who thinks it was boring, thin, pointless and dumb, watch the movie again and PAY ATTENTION. This is one of the deepest and most emotionally involving films I have ever seen.

Summary: Wonderful Fantasy/Science Fiction
Review: I am a huge fan of the Fantasy/Science Fiction genre--LOGAN'S RUN, BUFFY, ANGEL, FARSCAPE, STAR TREK (of course my favorites: LORD OF THE RINGS and HARRY POTTER) just to name a few. Subsequently, I watched this film planning to like it and I was not disappointed! I loved the concept: young man wakes from a coma to discover that everyone (he thinks) in London is gone. Eventually he discovers that creepy, monster-like humans (all infected with a 'rage' virus) do exist as they roam the streets at night. Naturally, he is chased throughout the city and is rescued by a couple of non-infected humans. This movie is a thrilling, fast moving ride with the good over evil theme. It is about relationships and loyalties and light at the end of the tunnel! It is also a very entertaining couple of hours!

Summary: Yummy
Review: I have to say that I was expecting a terribly scary movie, this wasn't it. I wasn't disapointed in the least, however. I thought this a great film, and am still enjoying what it did to me. I love it. There is nothing to get in the way of experiancing it, there are no stars, a simply and somewhat predicatable plot with enough twists to keep you guessing but never confused, beautiful and startlingly cinematography, nifty photography...Good stuff...
If you aren't a fan of the apocalyptic film, or just don't like zombies, give this a try. Alex Garland's writing is as physchological as it is action intense...just try to put yourself in the shoes of Jim and his entourage as they traipse around a hostile world...It'll leave your heart beating harder than you might expect.
