28 weeks later, what did people think?

Question

I loved it, different to the first but i loved the opening scene. Really intense and it was cool to see a short bit about what happened between the virus initial outbreak and Jim waking up. When you compare it to 2005 'Land of the Dead' theres no comparison. British films have a good way of making a story about real people and not absurd movie characters. Land of the dead was not in the least bit scary and someone needs to tell Romero its not the 60's anymore. Audiences have changed. 28 weeks later was awesome, cant wait for 28 months later!

Answer 1

I loved it. I was a bit skeptical when I first went into the theater to see it because I've seen so many bad horror film sequels, and bad sequels in general. But I thought this director did a really good job with "Weeks"; I was very impressed with the whole film. I especially liked how not everyone featured in the film survived (can't stand those typical "happy ever after" endings where all the "good" people somehow miraculously survive). When a horror film has a rather downbeat ending I think it makes for a more realistic and better quality film.

And I know what you mean about British films. Look what the U.S. distributors did to the U.K. film "The Descent" when they put it in theaters. They cut off the original ending because they thought it was "too downbeat". Give me a break! The original ending was much better, and thank goodness they reinstated it when the movie came out on DVD.

Hey, "28 Months Later". I didn't even think of that! Hope they make that one too! :-)

Answer 2

I liked the first better, even though it didn't have half of the action of this movie, it had a better feel to it... This movie was just a bunch of blood, gore and violence with not much of a real plot or direction. I was disappointed that the original characters were not in it at all.

Overall it was a good movie but I enjoyed the first better.

Answer 3

i enjoyed the film, its not every day that you see london get blown up and suffer chemical attacks, but in some ways the first was better because the distinct lack of americans (no offence to anyone) gave it a refreshing feel, but i did like the film and im looking forward to the next one

Answer 4

To be honest I was a bit dissapointed with it. It was no where near as good as I thought it was going to be, and it wasnt a patch on the first one. It was a good film in itself, and I did enjoy it, but I was expecting a lot more

Answer 5

Loved it. Action packed and entertaining from start to finish. And scarily real, I went home from the cinema thinking about survival strategies...

Answer 6

I seriously loved this film! It was neck and neck with "Days". It had all the elements of a great film...
Suspense
Drama
Love
Humor

I can't wait for "Months", "Years", etc. :-)

Answer 7

Answer 8
