could 28 days later get dumber? - GoFuckYourself.com

bluedevil · 05-31-2004, 10:40 PM

its almost over...It's just... so dumb did anyone else think so?

i just think the premise is dumb, you can infect someone with "Rage" or even turn it into a virus or disease...

CDSmith · 05-31-2004, 10:49 PM

It had it's moments, but I found that it could have had a bit more originality to it.

The part where the idiot lights the candle in that house.... I thought "DUH, don't light a fucking candle or the bad fuckers'l see you right away, idiot"..... sure enough he lights up a candle.

I do like "end of the world" movies like that though. Ever see Omega Man? What about Damnation Alley?

Strife · 05-31-2004, 11:09 PM

no dumber than most other horrible movies of late

Rictor · 05-31-2004, 11:45 PM

It was probably the best horror movie of last year. Most of the rest were terrible and flopped at the box office. 28 Days Later was an international hit.

lux_interior · 05-31-2004, 11:50 PM

This is an on going argument with me and my good friend Dave. He hails this as the best movie of last year while I disagree and think Cabin Fever was way cooler.

Being a kid of the 80's and growing up with all the cool slasher shit like Halloween, Friday 13th, Nightmare on Elm St, Last House on the Left etc. I loved the way Cabin Fever paid homage to loads of them. I suppose 28 days later does too in a way but I just think Cabin Fever looked slicker. Danny Boyles cinematography was cool though considering the budget.

My

I personally liked 28 Days Later. Im really glad that they didn't stick to the original script.

Anybody see the original Script. It was fuckin gay. There were no soldiers and they went to this lab. In the lab there was this guy who was waiting out the infection.

Anyway the main character does some kind of blood transfusion to take the virus into himself so he could cure the guy with the daughter.

BRISK · 05-31-2004, 11:57 PM

The first half of the movie was good, but the last half was crap.

riosluts · 05-31-2004, 11:59 PM

the movie is good because if you watch it in the theatre it scares the shit outta you. The plot aint that good though

Jon · 06-01-2004, 12:08 AM

The empty cities were great. The plot itself was just another zombie movie, similar to Dawn of the Dead. There were some parts that were done VERY well to give that whole creepy eerie feeling. One of those parts was when they went into the tunnel, and the crowd of infected people started making their way towards them from a distance. Creeped me out, done well. Realism shots rock.

Elli · 06-01-2004, 12:10 AM

Awesome movie, and I love the alternate endings. I watched it three times, and it's still one of my faves of last year.

But then, I tend to like weird movies like 21 Grams and Blade Runner and Secretary.

I give it

eiht_98 · 06-01-2004, 12:16 AM

It sucked.

Napolean · 06-01-2004, 12:18 AM

I just watched Bubba Hotep.. so in comparison 28 days later is grammy award material.

SykkBoy · 06-01-2004, 12:29 AM

I loved 28 Days Later, one of the better movies of last year...I'm also glad they didn't go with the original ending, I liked the army ending better..

also, did anyone see a PMS/menstrual cycle subtext to the movie?

klinton · 06-01-2004, 12:38 AM

it was pretty good movie...

*eyes up SykkBoy*

Hmm..

I noticed the 28 days cycle, but I interpreted it more as a nature cycle, like the waxing and waning of the moon and the tides.

sicone · 06-01-2004, 12:42 AM

The movie kept my interest for a while... but then it got predictable and boring so I changed the channel

well, yeah the 28 days cycle, but look how the color red was represented in the movie...as well as the sudden rage of the virus "rage" which is simialr to the stereotype of a PMS rant

the color red was a marker of sorts, example, there is almost no red during the fist part of the movie, then you have the grls in red dresses, the red color of the eyes of the rage victims

I'll have to watch it again as there was a lot of subtext to it in my head while watching the movie, hehehe

Yeah, I noticed the red dresses, too. And the blood is the method of infection, as well. Not only that, but the women were the key to survival of the species (as far as they knew) whether they were willing or not.

You may be on to something.

twistyneck · 06-01-2004, 12:54 AM

I thought it was pretty good but a lot could have been edited out once they were at that army base.

And it's not a zombie movie you pinheads. Zombies, by definition, have to be dead first.

dd2 · 06-01-2004, 01:27 AM

How anyone could compare it to Cabin Fever I don't know

I thought 28 days later was an awesome film, the empty city shots were fantastic and it was very enjoyable all the way through, cabin fever made cringe it was so poor.

IMO anyway

Cabin Fever....that movie was horrible..total waste of time.

Adent007 · 06-01-2004, 07:41 AM

your not alone......it was crap

thankfully i only paid 5 bucks for a previously viewed dvd to watch it. the previews didnt look good to me but i got it because it was touted as "the most original movie ever" obviously whoever said that hadnt seen "omega man" or .....brain fart....the one with Vincent Price...."last man on earth" or something like that i think...... other than the virus being called "rage".....same movie no originality whatsoever

like hollywood pumping out another tom cruise flick.....
his character is the best at what he does.....he falls on hard times......he meets a girl.....and everything is better

only this was.....something wipes out the human race....and theres one guy left.....(almost) and then he finds more people and everything is ok

Dirty D · 06-01-2004, 08:05 AM

I thought it was an awesome movie!

How many alternate endings are there?

crockett · 06-01-2004, 08:13 AM

well that would be a kind of dumb premise, but as i understood it it was just the effect of the infection, they weren't literally turning "rage" into a virus.

.....and that is my qualified opinion

I loved the nods to the great 70's flicks in Cabin Fever and the occasional nod to similar movies in Wrong Turn...

I admit it, sometimes it makes me feel intellectually superior when I pick up a reference others miss (like the music cues in cabin Fever that were part of Last House On The Left ;-))

I might even bring out some of my obscurest titles to San Diego....I'm getting in a day early, so might hold an impromptu film festival in my room, hehehe

mmm, a public screening of Samson Vs. The Supreme Dictator FromOuter Space and the Guinnea Pig movies....

bluedevil · 06-01-2004, 10:57 AM

let me ask...its supposed to be an infection

what do the zombies feed on...not flesh, cause how would the dead become zombies instantly...

if they were really FEEDING wouldnt it take a while

or are they feeding on like, DNA or something

technically, they weren't zombies....the virus turned them into lunatics, almost primal beasts...

they weren't feeding at all, that's why the only thing the survivors could do was wait it out until they starved to death. This virus consumed all of their emotions and returned them to primal beings.

When Major West is discussing the infected he has on the tether, he talks about the lack of skills (he's telling me "I can never bake bread or grow a crop", etc.) and he's just waiting for him to starve to death.
