Product Description
Product Description
A virus is accidentally released from a British research facility. Those infected with the virus develop uncontrollable fits of killing rage. Twenty-eight days later, humanity is on the verge of extinction and a small group of survivors in London battle other survivors while avoiding the deadly virus.
Amazon.com
The director/producer team that created Trainspotting turn their dynamic cinematic imaginations to the classic science fiction scenario of the last people on Earth. Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma to find London deserted--until he runs into a mob of crazed plague victims. He gradually finds other still-human survivors (including Naomie Harris), with whom he heads off across the abandoned countryside to find the source of a radio broadcast that promises salvation. 28 Days Later is basically an updated version of The Omega Man and other post-apocalyptic visions; but while the movie may lack originality, it makes up for it in vivid details and creepy paranoid atmosphere. 28 Days Later's portrait of how people behave in extreme circumstances--written by novelist Alex Garland (The Beach)--will haunt you afterward. Also featuring Brendan Gleeson (The General, Gangs of New York) and Christopher Eccleston (Shallow Grave, The Others). --Bret Fetzer

*Spoilers ahead...*
To those who are saying this movie was predictable and boring: I respectfully disagree. The plot could have gone many ways. The pacing and action were on point, with the right amount of relaxing and action packed scenes interlaced. It kept you engaged the entire way through - waiting to see what would happen next. Yes it was more of a 'good conquers' plot. But this doesn't mean predictable. To be honest it made the movie more enjoyable with a bit of redemption.
Another review complained about them not knowing that this base was going to basically be a rape situation. There was no way they could know this would happen. They first arrived with high hopes. Then with the death, they were a bit shell shocked. I'm sure they were just hopeful they could have a safe place to stay. They had not encountered that many live people before. And all the other people they met were helpful and generally kind. I don't see how they could expect to know how these soldiers would treat them. There could have been a bigger group of people waiting who were not all soldiers. And even if not, it makes sense that they might initially think it's better to be in a military base than out on their own.
And the part where they are trying to get rescued again after the deal with the officers: Another review said they were stupid or unbelievable to look to be rescued. No it isn't stupid. Because there are people who are in airplanes. They likely are part of civilized society outside of that place. And one can't blame them for hoping there is more to life than "just surviving, alone in this wasteland with just 3 human beings for the rest of their lives." So of course they would try to find a better sort of life.
I felt the characters were very believable and convincing. The most unbelievable part to me was when our MC was able to take down all of those officers, and they were all able to evade the zombies when these trained men couldn't. I mean, this was just some guy who had no military experience. He hadn't even really had to survive that long in the apocalypse. He didn't seem like he should be particularly skilled. Yet he became a sort of mini super ninja for a bit. I mean it wasn't completely out of the realm of possibility.. But it was a bit far fetched. I still was glad the way it went though. the redemption was sweet.
Yes the Walking Dead series, which came much later, had some better scenarios (in the early seasons.) Though this movie was older than that.
I do not agree with the nay sayers here. I think must have been spoiled lately, only watching the greatest of movies, and forgot how there are so many truly awful movies out there. This one was a breath of fresh air compared to all of the sub-par, badly written movies, which make up most of what's out there. This movie was engaging, immersive, and had a great deal of world and plot integrity.
The acting was great too, as well as the casting. Great flick. I'd say the sequel 28 Weeks Later is even better.
After the outbreak we meet Jim (Cillian Murphy aka Scarecrow from Batman Begins) who wakes up completely naked (why completely naked I don't know) in a hospital room and it seems he's just been through some surgery. After calling for help, Jim comes to realize he's the last person alive on Earth. Ok not really, but it really does seem like it at first. They did a great job of showing deserted cities and roads and making it seem like he is legend (see what I did there?!). After some walking, he comes across a church filled with what seems to be a mass suicide. This was definitely a scene I cant forget mainly due to when he says `Hello?' and two infected look up at him really quickly and just stare. CREEPY. Plus lets not forget the priest. As he runs away he comes across a couple of uninfected who help him out. Together they try to survive and come across a radio signal broadcasting help and safety. Together they try to make it to this so called safety.
Some might consider the movie a little slow, but I enjoyed the pacing because I really did start to connect with Jim and some of the others. Watching it the first I thought there could've been a bit more action scenes, but after my second sitting, I believe I was wrong. I actually enjoyed just about every minute of it. Also the video quality is not great. Not horrible by no means either, but just not great.
The special edition I watched had 3 alternate endings. The first 2 were really dumb and could've been easily just ONE alternate ending. The third though was really good actually. But you have to sit through a story board and not live action scenes, but I promise you it was still good. It basically picks up where the military comes in, but there is no military. Instead they head to a hospital with their little rag tag group and try to save one of their own since the person has been infected. They are told that to cure the person, you have to take out all of his blood and replace it. But this was the problem the director (Danny Boyle) had. How the heck do you clean out all of the blood when one drop could infect you. It was funny to hear how Danny says it though. Nice idea though.
In the end I would say to definitely give this movie a shot, especially if you are a zombie fan (even though they aren't zombies) or an `end of the world movie' fan.
P.S. - Anyone read `The Walking Dead'? Great, great, great read for us zombie lovers. I always wanted to see a movie for this series, but considering how in depth it's become, I'd much rather see a TV series for it. Like on HBO so we could see the gore. Plus I love how the story starts off in my home town back in Georgia. To cool!

The scenes of Cillian Murphy wandering around a completely deserted London are stunning and utterly chilling at the same time. The film is worth watching for that alone: seeing those iconic London locations entirely devoid of people. Similarly fascinating are the shots of that lone London taxi cab driving along the deserted motorway with the windmills silently churning away in the background. Knowing that all this was filmed for real rather than being created inside a computer makes it all the more remarkable. And then, just once in a while, inbetween the scenes of utter desolation and frightening attacks by the infected, there are seemingly incogruous moments of relief like the myriad of colourful buckets on the roof or the horses in the field. Inspired directing by Danny Boyle. Even the intentionally grainy picture quality, criticised by many reviewers, works very well for me. It fits in with the story.
The cast including Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson and Christopher Eccleston alongside Cillian Murphy is great, with them all turning in very solid performances. It was this cast that made me buy the DVD and I'm glad I ventured outside my comfort zone and watched the film. Along with great performances from some of my favourite actors, I got an intelligent and compelling story.
