Thrilling, stylistic, and infected with fun! Boyle amazingly captures the true gravity of death and loneliness. The cast is remarkable amidst the intensity of a new-age apocalypse. Boyle's direction creates a flawless canvas painted with a... (read full)

2.5/4  Outstanding starting half, horrible final half.
This movie started off amazing. The isolation was perfect, very creepy and even scary. But the second half of this movie ABSOLUTELY BLEW. It went from a great isolation post disaster zombie movie to some generic action zombie flick. So i... (read full)

4/4  28 Days Later
This ALONE used to hold "The Best Zombie Movie Ever Made" throne but then "28 Weeks Later" came long. An awesome movie--great use of suspense and atmosphere. I wouldn't change a single detail about it. Cillian Murphy is perfect as a guy wh... (read full)

2.5/4  Good zombie movie
The ideas behind this movie are great. The plot really works and I thought it had a good level of intensity that pulled people in pretty quick. I like the fact that the zombies are not just these lumbering bodies that slowly swarm an area.... (read full)

4/4  28 Days Later Quick Review
This is the best zombie film that Romero didn't make. It has everything great and more. Although, I really didn't want to see Cillian Murphy's penis at the beggining.

i think this is scarry.

4/4  28 Days Later Quick Review
This movie really revolutionized zombie films. It was the first to incorporate zombies that could run after you, and not just limp along slowly, making them THAT much more dangerous. BY FAR one of my favorite films of all time.

3.5/4  28 Days Later Quick Review
After a long time of zombie mush, this one brings us back something good. Original to a certain degree but creepy is a better way to put it. The sense one gets from viewing it is frightening. This one is as good as Night of the Living Dead!

3/4  28 Days Later Quick Review
A raw and refreshing zombie movie. The alternate ending is the best one to watch, don't bother with the US theatrical released version.

1/5 Great film HORRIBLE BLU-RAY
  by S. Mirza (USA)
The film is 5 stars, my complaint is the transfer. Despite the higher resolution it only looks marginally better than on DVD. I even played it on my 1080p computer monitor thinking the problem might have been my 720p television but it had the same problems. The picture is too soft, almost as if it wasn't filmed in HD (but of course it was) and there were specs on the screen as if I was watching it in an old movie house. Hopefully they will release a better transfer of the DVD and give those of us who bought this a discount on it :)

5/5 what do you think you know about zombies?

28 Days Later (blu-ray)

9.2 THE FILM ITSELF
8.7 VISUALS
9.1 SOUND
8.5 PACKAGING
8.5 EXTRAS

When I first saw 28 Days Later I was instantly stunned. It was like no other "horror / zombie" film I had seen before. It was more based on human interactions and the complexity of staying alive. It seemed like it was based on actual human interactions and what they would actually do. It just seems so real. And so brutally frightening. The film, which revolves around an outbreak of a rage virus in London (and surrounding areas) follows Jim as he awakes in a hospital and tries to figure out what has happened. Seeing the eerie, quiet and abandoned big cities sends a chill up your spine - and I can imagine it would be even more amazing if you live there and see how busy it actually is (me being American, I have never seen these places in person).

SPECIAL FEATURES
1. commentary w/ Danny Boyle and Alex Garland
2. 6 Deleted scenes w/ optional commentary
3. 4 Alternative Endings w/ optional commentary
4. Pure Rage: The Making of 28 Days Later
5. Jacknife Lee music video
6. Production Still Gallery w/ commentary by Danny Boyle
7. Running Polaroid Gallery w/ commentary intro by Danny Boyle
8. Animated Storyboards

The feature commentary is pretty good as Danny Boyle talks about some scenes getting cut and how difficult some of the production was. The alternative endings are a great treat. The "extreme" ending (or whatever it's "officially" called) really showed a massively different ending to the film. And hearing Boyle talk about how it would be impossible to pull that off and have it make sense was hysterical.

I was most impressed by the number of items that had a commentary. We learn why deleted scenes got cut, and the commentary on the production still made it much more interesting to watch.

28 Days Later after its release in 2003 I think has raised the bar and the quality of standard to zombie-ridden movies. But it's not a typical horror/zombie film. There are no cheesy characters, no easy ways out and no common "been there, done that" type of feel that you see in most American horror / zombie films. The atmosphere is terrific and the suspense is held amazingly throughout

If you want a smartly made horror / zombie / sci-fi film, then invest in 28 Days Later. Oh, and since this is the blu-ray review, it looks wonderful. Some scenes are fuzzy and grainy, but that's because of the types of cameras they use. But it still looks great, for those who wanted to know.

BLU-RAY SCORE
9.3/10 "OUTSTANDING"

1/5 bad blu-ray DO NOT BUY!
  by Mike M (Omaha)
Great movie, terrible transfer to blu-ray. I bought this when it originally came out on dvd and loved it. Picked it up when it was released on BR hoping to have a brand new experience but I was wrong. I've seen better quality video on VCR recordings left over from the early nineties. It's absolutely disgusting that the blu-ray community keeps paying high dollar for trash transfers like this. DO NOT BUY ON BLU-RAY!!

3/5 picture quality
  by Wahyu Tri Purnomo (Indonesia)
28 Days Later is one of my favorite 'zombie movie'..

When I first opening the packaging of this BluRay disc, I was wondering just how great would the picture quality be..
But I was full of dissapointment when the film starts.. The picture quality is not much better than the DVD version..
I can notice the digital compression at work.. especially on dark scenes..

Then I remember that this movie was shot on Canon XL-1 MiniDV camera..
No wonder.. :)

And the sound,
The dialogue level is so low so I had to pump up the volume of my AV Receiver (I'm using Onkyo TX-SR 606), but when it comes to the high-tense scenes, the music and sound FX is like blowing up my speaker set.. So I had to decrease the volume..
It only have 5.1 DTS Master Audio for English language, no 5.1 Dolby Digital; so I can't watch with the 'Night Mode' on..

5/5 HORROR/ROAD/THRILLER/SUSPENSE FLICK
  by fmwaalex (Austin, TX USA)
28 DAYS LATER

I have argued it for years and it seems that there are still people out there who think this is a zombie when it is clearly not. This film is no were near being a zombie flick as the INFECTED are not dead they are just INFECTED with a virus that was put into monkeys. I don't know why people think of this as a zombie flick but what ever. This is indeed a great film and when it was released one of the scariest films in recent years. I remember seeing this and thinking man this is pretty intense as I was not expecting it. Still I found it to be a wonderful film experience and thought that it was deserving of the praise it was getting, most of the time movies are not.

For those who have yet to see this for some reason it is about a man who wakes up 28 days after a virus has struck the UK and turned most of the population into raging killers. The virus which is called rage I guess makes a person go back to their animalistic instincts and want to survive and kill, nothing else. At first the guy has no idea what is going on until a few infected come his way but luckily for him a few other survivors are there to help out. These survivors are a tough bunch and are just out looking for food and supplies and have no problem leaving our lead behind. As time goes on a people get picked off a father and daughter come into the mix and the film turns into a road movie. They make their way across the country looking for salvation based on a radio signal they picked up.

Writer Alex Garland did a great job with this movie taking a nice end of the world type idea and making it feel very fresh and very real. Director Danny Boyle did a great job converting the script and idea onto the screen. This film while not at least to me jump out of your seat scary it is still a very intense feeling film or at least it was when it came out. Acting wise one of my favorites ever Cillian Murphy is perfect for this film and did a marvelous job. Naomie Harris was excellent as well and did a great job as did Brendan Gleeson and Megan Burns. Every one in this movie did a great job and I can't stress that enough, great movie I think.

I had a lot of fun watching this when it first came out and still it is fun to watch right now, that's just me. Is this a perfect movie, that is up to you but I have a great time watching it. If you have not seen this then I highly recommend it to you, I say buy it and skip a rental. The look and style of this film is great and the road story that is involved in this is my favorite part of the film. The first part of the movie is the end of the world "we have to survive" which is defiantly the horror aspect of the film. Then we get the road flick that is the "we have hope now" part of the film which is the fun part of the film. Then we close it out with the dramatic thriller/suspense part of the movie when the army holds them captive. Could you ask for in a film, I think not.
