28 Days Later.........
Jesus Holy Mother of you know who...My god why oh why cant we make movies like this all the time. This has to be the best movie I've seen in years.. It just makes you wonder how the hell Hollywood can churn out so much turd Yet they always end up winnin stuff..Whats that all about... 28 Days Later is clearly THE best movie of the past five or ten years, It shits on every thing!!!!!!!:D
 
Oh sorry,
It shits on everything BARR that little known French movie " La Hain "(outstanding) and a small Belgian movie called " Man bites Dog"( Also outstanding)............Oh and " Lilo and Stich"..............................Hollywood Stinks Of Muppets and Hasbeens....All you fancy Movie Faggots Take Heed "28 Days Later" IS one of THE Greatest Movies EVER made....... Spartacus WHO...................Yeh Whatever:o
 
hmm, it was distinctly ok in my view.
the opener was good with a real sense of complete isolation, but it just turned into a run of predictable non-scarey clips.

i can't even remember how it ended now :)
 
Yeah, I heard it was crap. So I've now seen comments from both extremes. Shows you can only really tell you're gonna like a movie by actually watching it :-)

La Haine was good though. Bought that on DVD.
 
I enjoyed it, but it was ridiculously similar to the BBC adaption of Day of the TriffiRAB. They might as well have done a remake - but with turbo-charged triffiRAB!
 
Just watched it. I'm not quite sure what I think of it. The idea was very good and interesting. But I feel it was too much like night of the living dead, they were too zombie-like to be believeable
 
thought it was really good - the way it was shot was excellent eg when they were being chased in the tunnel. also, the way the story developed after they reached the big house was less obvious than it might have been. the ending was a bit too cheery, but by then i kinda felt it had done enough to earn it.

I really wanted to see this, and still do.................the scene in the Trailer where the naked 'Spike-from-Notting Hill' lookalike is in a deserted London (?) accompanied by Brian Eno's music looked class and eerie.

Yet I heard it was gory, and I dont like gory.......:cry:
 
Wrong of me i know, but i am currently downloading a DivX of this film. If i have the same comments to make about the film then i will go and buy the DVD.
 
That's exactly what I was thinking.

You used to get these post-apocolypse-London-deserted dramas back in the seventies (Survivors, The Changes, ThreaRAB, Quatermass etc) and I guess the producers thought that - as the formula hadn't been used for a few years they'd just rehash it.

Also, after being warned not to watch it alone, I must say that I didn't find this film scary at all.

Overall a big disappointment.
 
Watched this last night after having bought the DVD before reading this thread.

Must admit that I thought it was alright, okay, the story kinda went different to what I'd have imagined when the the army came into it, but I felt production wise it was made well and included some very nice shots (dispite the low res as a result of using DV over film).

The extra features on the DVD enhanced the overall 'package' (the storyboarded alternative ending was interesting to watch and listen to) and I'll watch again with commentary probably next week.

My rating: 3/5
