Loved 28 Days Later and I've yet to watch 28 Weeks Later past the point where he kills his wife, which I believe is one of the images above. It just....really disturbed me.

28 Days Later hits home a lot more for me than any recent zombie movie for the simple reason that it takes place in my home country. It's really bizarre how much more invested you can become in a character and their story and the scenario in general when it takes place over familiar terrain.

28 Weeks Later was a worthy sequel but it had a case of sheep syndrome - Many parts were am obvious homage to the way things happened in the first movie. The director went overboard whilst trying to emulate the shakey camerawork from the first movie (Which only worked well in the first movie because it was filmed on DV). My main gripe with the film was the cast. Not strictly the actors, but the way they were used. The first film had four distinct characters to cling on to but in "Weeks..." I didn't feel like I knew enough about anyone to be able to relate to their grief or emotions. Too many of the supposed 'key' characters were expendable, like Spoiler:

Sergeant Boyle and Scarlet (The female Doctor),

and the kids were mostly irritating and unemotive in their roles. The film would really have benefited from some stronger leads and more memorable characters in general. The scene i disliked the most is the scene which is pretty much everyone else's favourite part of the movie, the Helicopter VS the swarm of Infected. The rotary blades of the Copter chopping them to shreds looked utterly rediculous and had to be some of the worst CGI i've ever seen. Terrible!

On a more positive note, the film had all of the extreme style and all the intensity, violence and jump scares that are expected of any top horror movie and completely dwarfs 28 Days in terms of scale in that department. Seeing parts of Central London exploding under firebomb attack was extremely surreal, since i'd spent quite a lot of time there leading up to the movie's release and it really freaked me out - And I nearly had a heart attack during the opening scenes which are some of the most intense and amazing first scenes ever.

Weeks has only 1 moment which rivals the original overall for character and that is the opening sequence. That whole situation basically encompasses the idea of what sorts of decisions one may have to make against an angry mob of anyone. Its really good, which is why it's a shame the movie never reaches that level again.

The opening sequence for Weeks was brilliant.

I watched both, but I prefer 28 days cause I really got into the movie, really cool story.

I love that scene with this woman, is so romantic lol xD
If they release a "28 years" it would be like RE: Extinction cause the infection was spread worldwide lol

In the second movie, why would people go back to England? lol
I would stay as far as possible

i didnt like the story to it. hows that? i thought the story was shit but i thought it was more entertaining than Andersons RE films. oh yha those were really zombies. damn i didnt know that zombies ran track in the olympics.

but yha i thought the movie sucked. thats my opinion though.

Technically, they weren't zombies. They act like it sometimes, but they were just people "infected with rage".

umm yes i no that part that says "oh yha those were really zombies" is sarcasum

Not to be rude, but nobody here, at least none that I know of, said otherwise.

I loved 28 Days Later, Weeks was not as good, I was so pissed off by
the two kids.
Spoiler:

If my fucking kids went out and left the safe zone.... I would've struck them dead right there! I know they were looking for their old house and blahblahblah but DON'T LEAVE THE SAFE ZONE! Heavily armed military all around!
And the military was just as dumb for letting two dumb fucks get out in the first place. (T ^ T) It's their fault the virus got out for finding there mom! And all the decent character died for those little brats cause the little boy, "Andy's" blood MAY have been the cure....and look what he did infected Paris! >

I hated the kids... *heartless grumbles*

But Days .....
Cillian Murphy <3
He was wonderful and I love the zombies in that movie they scare
the living poo out of me.

I loved 28 days later. I love the score to the movie, expecially the long drawn out one when he is going to save selena. Overall the whole held up in a mansion really reminded me of the RE atmosphere, because you were lost inside of the place, with the sounds of the "zombie-esque " all around you.

[hellrizer]

I enjoyed this movie very much and could watch it almost everyday. 28 weeks later was okay, but they could have done a better job and such. Hehe, Now when I think about it. 28 days later kinda reminds me of Left 4 Dead just without all the special infected and the zombies just pretty much beats the living shit out of you instead of eating you. Overall, both movies were very good and I do hope they make another one. Are they?

[Weskers Flag]

Oh, so there is more likely than not going to be another one? I hope so. And hopefully it's at least marginally better than Weeks.
