Who has seen 28 Days?
To me it was very disappointing. Typical end-of-the-world-as-we-know- it film.

1. wouldn't simply cutting off a toe end the world as you know it?
/phrase gripe

As far as the movie goes, it had its moments, but it's still just another zombie movie in the end.

4. I enjoyed it...
it was not as gratuitous as most american horror/sci-fi flicks though it had some gore. The sub-plot such as the racial/sexual tension between the heroine and hero also added depth to the movie. Overall I found it quite good.

5. Did you watch it on DVD and see the alternative ending?
Very interesting. A rooster took the place of the hero.

8. I found it quite enjoyable.
I didn't get the feeling that the director was trying to manipulate the
audience as much as other films I've seen (in that genre)

9. I liked the shots in deserted London
that was really creepy. I loved the acting, and thought the movie was super entertaining.

Some of them reminded me of freepers...

11. It was okay.
I flew up to Detroit back in August, the morning after the big blackout occurred, when almost no power was back on. I have never before flown over a large city that was so utterly deserted. It reminded me of 28 Days Later.

13. I saw it a few weeks ago.
Thought it was rather boring. Pretty predictable and while the cinematography was well done in many places, the acting wasn't.

Whaddya gonna do?

=)
