could 28 days later get dumber?
 

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...

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?

agreed about as dumb as star wars, star trek, blade runner, 2001 space odessy etc etc etc

its called fiction for entertainment purposes ;)

i walked outta that bitch in 20 minutes

:1orglaugh

no dumber than most other horrible movies of late

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.

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 :2 cents: for what it's worth.

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.

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

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

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.

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 :thumbsup :thumbsup

It sucked.

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

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?

it was pretty good movie...

*eyes up SykkBoy*

Hmm.. :Graucho

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.

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

dont be skerred

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. :)

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.

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

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

I wouldn't know about 28 days later coz I never bothered to watch that film! :1orglaugh

I actually enjoyed both Cabin Fever and 28 Days Later and don't tell anyone, but the more I watch Wrong Turn, the more I love that flick too.....

Ah, ya lost me there.. *sigh*

That movie is a waste of time.

I didnt like 28 days later..

However, I think "The day after tommorrow" is going to kick ass

I haven't watched that movie. :1orglaugh

Is that your qualified medical opinion doctor?

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

I thought it was an awesome movie!

How many alternate endings are there?

Summarize them please!

I liked it for what ever reason, now the tunnel part was a bit lame but other than that it was ok.

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

lol :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

its been on hbo like 100 times...keep watching it cause believe it or not...its the only good thing on :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i find it entertaining.. not bad at all.. a bit naive but all in all i give it a :thumbsup

i thought it was a great horror flick. really liked the music throughout the movie as well...
