I never liked 28 Days Later. There was something about it that....bothered me.

We shall see...

I just didnt like the start with the chimp watching all the violent things, seemed corny.

The first half of 28 days was good, but the second half was a completely different movie which sucked balls.

Did you expect Jim to wander the empty streets screaming "Hello!?" and running from the infected the entire time?
I personally enjoyed the movie throughout... I didn't even have a problem with the ending, not all zombie infestations have to temporarily (given the genre's history of multiple sequels) end with a nuclear blast, powerful electric discharges, multiple shots to multiple brains as carried out by the army or a militia, or the deaths of all the main characters (either by zombie or militia)...

28 weeks later... *strokes chin*... It's being released by Fox Atomic. So far they've published Turistas and The Hills Have Eyes 2...
Yeah... They appear to be Fox's version of Sony's Screen Gems... I'm not getting my hopes up...

The thing most people overlook about 28 Days Later is that even though it has zombies in it, the zombies aren't the main focus.

The film was more about surviving in a civilization that has collapsed and gone mad. And also, they have to run from zombies.

The first time I watched it, I was really put off by the final act with the military outpost. But upon watching it again recently, I've decided I like it. It shows how far their society has really collapsed. The main characters get to somewhere they are supposed to feel safe, but these soldiers try to hungrily devour (sexually this time) the women folk and have objectors killed.

Not safe from zombies, not safe from people in a zombie filled world.

I thought it was a nice departure from how most zombie movies go which DH already summed up.
