Some things I liked some I did not.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This film had me on the edge of my seat.The film starts with a man waking up in a hospital room. He realizes that he is all alone and not a soul around. He will soon figure out that he woke up into a living nightmare. The story is well written and differs from the traditional "zombie" flicks. This horror film actually has the audience caring for the characters and keeps a good suspense trough out the film. What makes this film special from other zombie films is that the "zombies" are actually infected humans. There is no re-animate from the dead and the infected... Can run. If you like suspense, chase, horror flicks with a different approach to the traditional zombie film then I would recommend this film to you.

28 weeks later is a post-apocalyptic film directed by Danny Boyle. One of my favorite paintings on the theme of a zombie Apocalypse. Watched the tape a dozen times, including all additional materials, both in Russian and in original language. To this day, for me, this movie and the sequel 28 weeks later, but it is a little bit later, is the standard zombie-genre world of film. The film is set in what was once an amazingly beautiful country with a rich history of great Britain, stricken with an incurable virus, leading to instant infection. Upon contact with a human, the virus turns them into insane killers.Unlike other films of this genre the infected are alive. They are fast, rabid, angry, hungry and insatiable creature. Danny Boyle opened a new world of "living dead" is not only world cinema but for the interactive entertainment industry. The second important fact is that the Director, in most cases, refused to computer graphics and hand-drawn special effects. Instead, the gallons of fake blood, tons of makeup, and many non-professional actors in the role of fast zombies.Happy in the movie and memorable music written by the British composer and musician John Murphy, which complements the atmosphere of despair, of madness, of fear and impending doom brings to us what words cannot, and most importantly, doesn't distract from the movie itself.I advise to all, this cult film from the famous Director, ushered in a new wave of zombie horror in world cinema

If you love zombies & the whole post apocalyptic world thing, then this a movie for you. In this Classic(in my opinion) zombie flick you really get a sense of the terrifying yet very real struggles it might be like if we should ever be faced with an outbreak resulting in a zombie plagued world. It has everything from gory scenes, prodigious zombie battles, struggles of all sorts, & it even fits in some self growth aspects. As for those prodigious zombie battles, you won't be let down by non realistic survival skills that you hate to watch & roll your eyes at. There won't be any of that. It's as pretty close to what it might be like & what an everyday person could accomplish if faced with trying to survive a deadly zombie virus outbreak. I would have to say it's an amazing mix of blood & guts, human struggle & Zombies!

Danny Boyle's science fiction/horror film 28 Days Later was a critical and commercial success, which owes much, I suspect, to its post-apocalyptic theme, capturing a mood prevalent after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Many viewers noted the similarity of the kiosk in the film, covered with notices posted by people searching for lost friends and relatives, to the real ones posted in New York City after the fall of the World Trade Center towers -- a prescient touch on the part of the filmmakers, since the scene was shot before the terrorist attack and its aftermath. It has also been an influential film, helping spark an interest in "zombie"* movies and TV shows. After a prologue that shows how animal-rights activists attacked a research laboratory and unwittingly released a virus that causes uncontrollable rage in its victims and is spread by contact with blood and saliva, the film's protagonist, Jim (Cillian Murphy), wakes up from a coma in a London hospital to discover that he has been abandoned there and that the streets outside are empty. (The premise of someone waking up from a coma to discover a world depopulated by an incurable virus was repeated by the creators of The Walking Dead, first for the graphic novel published in 2003 and later for the TV series that began in 2010.) Jim soon discovers that he is not entirely alone: He is attacked by people infected with the virus and rescued by two who weren't: Selena (Naomie Harris) and Mark (Noah Huntley). Unfortunately, Mark gets bitten by one of the infected and has to be killed, allowing Selena to explain that the disease takes hold swiftly and is incurable. Naomie and Jim then discover two more survivors, Frank (Brendan Gleeson) and his daughter, Hannah (Megan Burns), who have a crank-operated radio that has picked up a signal from survivors north of Manchester calling for others to join them. Frank is infected and killed during their perilous drive northward, and Jim, Selena, and Hannah discover that the survivors are in a well-armed military outpost under the command of Maj. Henry West (Christopher Eccleston). It turns out that West has been sending out the signals especially to attract women to service his sex-starved troops, which means not only that Selena and Hannah are in danger of rape but also that Jim is expendable. Before he helps Selena and Hannah escape, Jim also hears the theory of a soldier opposed to West that the virus has not in fact spread worldwide: that it has been contained in other countries and that the island of Britain is quarantined -- a theory that Jim confirms for himself when he sees the contrails of a jet plane flying high overhead. The released film ends happily -- or at least hopefully -- when Jim, Selena, and Hannah, having escaped, construct a giant "HELLO" sign that is spotted by a plane flying reconnaissance over the cottage where they live. It's not the preferred ending of director Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland, who proposed a bleaker resolution of the story that failed with test audiences. Well-directed and -acted, 28 Days Later does what it's designed to do: build suspense and provide interesting characters. It also resonates nicely with our paranoia about pandemic infections in the age of HIV, Ebola, and the annual influenza scare . But it doesn't hold up well under the old test of Questions You're Not Supposed to Ask: like, why has Jim been abandoned, stark naked and comatose, in a hospital? If the hospital was attacked by the infected, why wasn't he attacked? If it was evacuated -- we see a newspaper headline, EVACUATION, at one point - - why was he left behind? How did he survive unattended for 28 days with only an IV drip that would have run out in a few hours? If the rest of the world is safe and only Britain is quarantined, why doesn't Frank's radio pick up international broadcasts? Where are the humanitarian operations like the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders? And so on....*The infected in 28 Days Later aren't technically zombies. i.e. animated dead people. They're still alive, and they can be killed by ordinary means like shooting or stabbing them.(charlesmatthews.blogspot.com)
