What's with the cheap video quality in recent films?
Anyway, 28 Days Later isn't original as it's a rehash of
Night of the Living Dead,
Dawn of the Dead,
and mostly Day of the Dead. The premise is simple:
the lead character wakes up confused and doesn't realize he's now in
the middle of a post-apocalyptic world that's filled with aggressive "zombies."
What bothers me the most is the lingering questions. There are many that have gone unanswered. "What happened?" is
the first question I'll ask, but nobody attempts to. So, basically the whole movie is about survival. I understand, but
it's boring. There are impossible moments showing the ability of human beings to react quickly to the attacking speed of
the Infected. We can do a small experiment here and now with tigers and lions and observe how human beings will fare with them
in a steel cage match.
When the characters found the supermarket, I thought to myself, "Now, that's a perfect place to hole up." But they decide to
skip it. There goes logic in the toilet. If there's anything I'm surprised by besides the oft-busy empty locations in London,
it's Brendan Gleeson showing up for such a shitty horror film. Really, he's a better actor than that.
Hey, Jim...just stop screaming HELLO all the time; obviously, everywhere is dead as a doornail. What an idiot. He should've
been infected earlier because of the blood on his eyes after he got attacked by one of the "zombies." That's why I suggest
"goggles" for the longtime survivors. More ridiculous is when Jim was transformed into Rambo in mere minutes. It's impossible.
He has to be trained for it first.
All in all, 28 Days Later is mostly a rip-off of
Day of the Dead.
