    28 Days Later

    Anyone else seen this, missed it at the cinema, but play turned up the dvd yesterday, and can i say i'm quite impressed. Storyline was much darker than i expected.

    It kept me on the edge of my seat for about 45mins, which is quite frankly difficult to do with me.

    I didn't think much of it tbh, it could have been so much better, for me it started to go downhill in two places, where they get a puncture in a tunnel and a load of zombies turn up and when they take refuge in that old house with the mad army rapists. Just needed a little more money spent on it and it could have been fantastic.

    Nope, its the virus that wipes out the country.

    Watched it and loved it.

    I was impressed with some of the shots in London - how the heck did they shoot them?

    Awesome film TBH. They had to stop the traffic for a while I think, to film the Empty London shots.

    Great film, shame about the ending.

    The bits in London were totally surreal, reminds of when I once wandered around Oxford Street at 5:30am on Sunday.

    And any film that uses music by Godspeed You Black Emperor! has got to be good, in my books.

    Good film, pity alot of the action scenes only came into play because of some ruddy stupid decisions (would you drive through a tunnel with a road block, or stay above ground in this situation? )

    The bit where they see a passenger plane fly overhead was a thinking moment.

    Haha, and the Army men, get a grip you lot, its been 28 days!

    I saw 28 days later at the cinema. I didn't know what it was about, but my girlfriend said she wanted to see it. I really enjoyed it!

    Have to say I agree with Event Horizon and say it wasnt all that. though I dont think it had anything to do with the budget, but it wasnt that captivating once you sat down to watch it - the trailer looked immense though and I really wanted to see it.

    The empty London shots were fine though Shame London aint always like that

    I thought this was a great film. I heard from somewhere that this was a very low budget film so people are right in saying they could make it better.

    But I also loved the shots of London, they were wicked!
