DVD Reviews of 28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: zombie flick
Summary: 4 Stars
this is a great movie one of the better zombie flicks the isolation and the loneliness of london and the quiet you feel when the main character walks through dead streets gives you a feeling of dread would recommend this movie to those who like dawn of the dead a very intelligent and well written script for a movie which has been done before in other sorts of screen playsDVD Review: Alright already about the Grainy Visual/Tecs... Transfers .. Etc......
Summary: 5 Stars
It was grainy..It was Low Light..looked home made..They were Zombies,no they werent...How about the movie and story line? This movie Really scared me and still does, and all this quable about movie visuals, poor quality etc. actually made it seem more real to me...The jerky movments of the "infected ones", was done very effectivelly, and I saw this again, in the New Remake Of, Dawn Of The Dead...The editing of the movie as a whole, was what made it so good, it gives you a clastrafobic feeling that just really draws you in....The hideout, Military Camp, where life is just Peachy Keen, was an homage to "THE MALL", of the Dawn Of The Dead movies, where evrything that could go wrong-Does..It wasant excessivlly gory, but the feeling of Gloom and Dread is so, strongly telgraphed to the viewer, that it seems to permeate your TV screen, and fill the room your in.. It had good character development so you really felt alot of the Horror they did, and sympathise with their flight from the "infected ones" AND the non- infected Military soldiers, gone bad.. The ending was like, waking up from a bad nightmare, everything looks, and is, lighter, up beat, and the dark Gloom lifts, and you feel greatful that you made it through ok... I still cant see this movie with the lights off.DVD Review: What A Stinker!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this movie and its sequel; both were highly recommended as "really scary zombie flicks." The terms "disappointed," "bewildered," and "angry at where my money went" can't begin to say how much I hate this movie. It's much too dark - can't see anything that's going on. I'm pretty good with accents, but I couldn't understand what was being said. The infected were barely there, and when they were, it was fleeting and boring. The plotline was missing in non-action. I think that when the apocalypse comes, it will be in the form of having to survive watching this movie over and over and over......DVD Review: Zombie apocalypse
Summary: 3 Stars
A man groggily wakes up alone in a hospital in London and wonders where the nursing staff is. He wanders about a bit and quickly realizes that the hospital is completely deserted. A quick recce outside the hospital shows that the entire city is deserted. What happened to all the people? Where did they go? The truth is quickly revealed that a devastating plague (termed the Rage virus) has struck the UK that turns its victims into insanely aggressive zombies that relentlessly attack any uninfected people around them. The virus is transmitted through body fluids, so that even a small bite is like to infect the victim.
The film is effectively broken into two parts. In the first, our brave survivor discovers the truth about the plague and finds a few hearty souls who have also avoided the zombie mobs. He returns home in an effort to try to find out what happened to his family. Like many great films in this genre, there is the classic scene of the survivors strolling through the grocery store (packed with food, but devoid of customers) selecting a wide range of delicacies. The first half of this movie is extremely well done, the atmosphere and the tension are perfect, an all time classic in the post-holocaust/zombie film genre. In the second part of the film, the small band of survivors departs London following a radio signal purportedly broadcast by the Army. The film really loses its way at this point. The commanding officer of the small army unit is crazy and the plot degenerates into a fairly ordinary chase/evasion story where the heroes are trying to avoid both the soldiers and the zombies. The latter half of the film has none of the atmosphere or pathos of the first half.
One interesting fact that struck me about this film is that had it been set in the US, the lone survivors would have quickly armed themselves to the teeth with shotguns, hunting rifles, and perhaps even AR-15s. This film is a great argument against gun control: if there is ever a zombie infestation, we'll need to be armed to deal with it! Don't take away our guns!
Seriously, this is a decent post-apocalyptic film that is undone by a poor and unimaginative ending. Definitely worth a look by anyone with interest in the zombie genre, but not uniquely outstanding.
DVD Review: That was longer than a heartbeat...
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw 28 Days Later, I was really shocked at how good it was. I thought I was going to be watching a zombie movie, but it's really not one (even though you can pretend they are, which a lot of people tend to do). In actuality, England has just been infected with a rage virus thanks to some PETA activists trying to rescue some test subject chimps. Ok maybe they don't work for PETA but you get the gist. And like the title says, within 28 days, all hell breaks lose and England is ravaged and destroyed by people who really should take a chill pill.
After the outbreak we meet Jim (Cillian Murphy aka Scarecrow from Batman Begins) who wakes up completely naked (why completely naked I don't know) in a hospital room and it seems he's just been through some surgery. After calling for help, Jim comes to realize he's the last person alive on Earth. Ok not really, but it really does seem like it at first. They did a great job of showing deserted cities and roads and making it seem like he is legend (see what I did there?!). After some walking, he comes across a church filled with what seems to be a mass suicide. This was definitely a scene I cant forget mainly due to when he says `Hello?' and two infected look up at him really quickly and just stare. CREEPY. Plus lets not forget the priest. As he runs away he comes across a couple of uninfected who help him out. Together they try to survive and come across a radio signal broadcasting help and safety. Together they try to make it to this so called safety.
Some might consider the movie a little slow, but I enjoyed the pacing because I really did start to connect with Jim and some of the others. Watching it the first I thought there could've been a bit more action scenes, but after my second sitting, I believe I was wrong. I actually enjoyed just about every minute of it. Also the video quality is not great. Not horrible by no means either, but just not great.
The special edition I watched had 3 alternate endings. The first 2 were really dumb and could've been easily just ONE alternate ending. The third though was really good actually. But you have to sit through a story board and not live action scenes, but I promise you it was still good. It basically picks up where the military comes in, but there is no military. Instead they head to a hospital with their little rag tag group and try to save one of their own since the person has been infected. They are told that to cure the person, you have to take out all of his blood and replace it. But this was the problem the director (Danny Boyle) had. How the heck do you clean out all of the blood when one drop could infect you. It was funny to hear how Danny says it though. Nice idea though.
In the end I would say to definitely give this movie a shot, especially if you are a zombie fan (even though they aren't zombies) or an `end of the world movie' fan.
P.S. - Anyone read `The Walking Dead'? Great, great, great read for us zombie lovers. I always wanted to see a movie for this series, but considering how in depth it's become, I'd much rather see a TV series for it. Like on HBO so we could see the gore. Plus I love how the story starts off in my home town back in Georgia. To cool!
Description of 28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)
Hailed as the most frightening film since The Exorcist, acclaimed Director Danny Boyle's visionary take on zombie horror "isn't just scary.it's absolutely terrifying" (Access Hollywood).An infirmary patient awakens from a coma to an empty room.in a vacant hospital.in a deserted city. A powerful virus, which locks victims into a permanent state of murderous rage, has transformed the world around him into a seemingly desolate wasteland. Now a handful of survivors must fight to stay alive, unaware that the worst is yet to come.
The director/producer team that created Trainspotting turn their dynamic cinematic imaginations to the classic science fiction scenario of the last people on Earth. Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma to find London deserted--until he runs into a mob of crazed plague victims. He gradually finds other still-human survivors (including Naomie Harris), with whom he heads off across the abandoned countryside to find the source of a radio broadcast that promises salvation. 28 Days Later is basically an updated version of The Omega Man and other post-apocalyptic visions; but while the movie may lack originality, it makes up for it in vivid details and creepy paranoid atmosphere. 28 Days Later's portrait of how people behave in extreme circumstances--written by novelist Alex Garland (The Beach)--will haunt you afterward. Also featuring Brendan Gleeson (The General, Gangs of New York) and Christopher Eccleston (Shallow Grave, The Others). --Bret Fetzer
