28 Weeks Later.
 
Remember the 1st movie; 28 days? Yeah, this is the sequel.

A Sequel Entitled "28 Weeks Later..."..

Plot Summary: The British Isles that were once infested with ravenous, bloodthirsty maniacs, are now almost completely void of life. Six months after the outbreak of the deadly Rage Virus annihilated the land, London is ready to be repopulated and reconstruction of the country can begin. Under the strict supervision of the U.S. Military, the first wave of refugees is allowed back into the city. Among them are Don (Robert Carlyle), his new girlfriend Scarlett (Rose Byrne), and Don’s two children. Don lost his wife during the original infection, while Scarlett lost her entire family. All seems under control until a new carrier of the virus makes his way within the quarantined area. As the only known live specimen, he becomes a vital tool to the scientists who hope to learn from their discovery. Call it carelessness or call it bad luck, but the virus eventually spreads once again and now may be even more difficult to contain than the first time around.

So what do you think? See any potential in this? I liked the 1st one well enough.

I love Zombie movies, and 28 days later is one of my favorites. The best part of Pathfinder was seeing a trailer for this, so yeah, it looks good.

Funky Fly 04-21-2007 08:35 PM

First one was kinda cool, so I might check it out.

Downunder 04-21-2007 09:52 PM

28 Days later is one of the best zombies movies ever made.

Also Robert Carlyle is the man, so I'll be seeing this one fo sho

YOUR Hero 04-21-2007 10:33 PM

I'd say 28 Day Later was the best of all Zombie movies. I know that's saying a lot when there are the vanguard of them out there, but being objective here...

PapaGeorgio 04-21-2007 11:05 PM

Still laugh whenever I heard guy who did 28 Days Later, him saying that wasn't a Zombie flick. But yeah was damn good.

Shaggy 04-22-2007 01:18 AM

Oddly enough this is probably one of the few movies that I own that I really have never seen.

My cousin is always talking about it and how good it is but I just havnt had the time to watch it. I guess I will make some time now because the sequel looks pretty good from what Ive seen in previews.

El Fangel 04-22-2007 01:30 AM

Im a sucker for zombie flicks and this looks good.

Boondock Saint 04-22-2007 03:53 AM

Looking forward to it.

Blitz 04-22-2007 04:15 AM

I'll see it.

'twill suck tho.

Downunder 04-22-2007 07:03 AM

Blitz is wrong


very very wrong

Mr Regal 04-22-2007 09:27 AM

Yeah i saw the railer for this last week.

Loved 28 days later.

However i am always sceptical when the director changes for the sequel. Danny Boyle didn't want anything to do with it which kind of speaks for its' self.

I will go and see it though, and hopefully it will kick arse:y:

KillerWolf 04-22-2007 02:26 PM

this is the problem with movies and entertainment (particularly in America). they cant just leave a good thing alone. if it is successful, they will make a sequel. and if that is successful, they will make another sequel. and so on and so on. television shows too. they milk shit until it's dry.

i honestly never expected them to make a sequel to 28 Days Later, and bad sequels have a way of undermining the original movie. i'm not saying that this will be a "bad sequel" but there is no way it will be as good as the original. i really enjoyed the original movie. it is IMO the best zombie genre movie of all time, especially due to it's originality. i hate to see this great movie become a franchise due to lack of originality in Hollywood.

here are some examples of other needless sequels that have undermined good original movies: The Matrix sequels. the Saw sequels. the Jurasic Park sequels. the Crow sequels. the Rocky sequels

ironically, if the sequels are really, really bad, they tend to disappear without tainting the legacy of the original to as great extent- ie Mortal Kombat sequel(s), From Dusk Til Dawn sequel(s)

Destor 04-22-2007 02:37 PM

Kinda crazy how you can capitalize a movie title and not a sentence.

Mr Regal 04-22-2007 02:52 PM

yes, really crazry:wtf:

KillerWolf 04-22-2007 03:04 PM

well....thank you for that.

Actually Boyle is heavily involved with the film going so far as to shoot parts of it himself and hand picking the director.

Skippord 04-23-2007 12:19 AM

Saw 3 > the other two

Yeah i have since read that in an article. That is a plus point:y:

Dave Youell 04-23-2007 06:36 AM

Most of the producers of the first have stuck around also, and given the amount of time between the first and this one, I'd like to think it was made for the right reasons and not just to make a quick buck

Mr Regal 04-23-2007 09:10 AM

Yeah saying that producers tend to stay around, if the first film banked them money ten times out of ten they will stay around. Boyle will make a tidy sum as i am sure this will make money.....just saying. It's not exactly about the art is it:lol:

The Mackem 04-23-2007 10:29 AM

Saw the first one at the pictures when it came out over here, good times. Except when the car alarm went off, it gave me a right shock :mad:

Will wait and see what it's like but much like the other guy further up, I would have been ok if they had left it at 28 days later.

Ninti the Mad 05-20-2007 02:01 AM

Good movie.

Real gritty and brutal.

Blitz 05-20-2007 02:05 AM

Probably better than the first.

I don't know about being better than the first - I honestly think they are as good as each other.

Little bit sceptical about a third tho.

28 Days in Paris could mean anything these days...

Gonzo 05-20-2007 10:52 AM

It was okay. Its been so long since I've seen the first that I don't really remember it that well. This one ended at the right time though.

*SPOILER*
As soon as they went into the subway tunnel near the end you could guess what would happen. I was getting a little bored at that point and hoped they wouldn't drag out the scene.

It was okay though.


Rammsteinmad 05-20-2007 11:20 AM

I liked the first one, so I'll see this one.

Not as good as Dawn Of The Dead 2004 imo though.

Evil Vito 05-20-2007 11:36 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I liked the movie alot. Nice and brutal. Also, I'm willing to bet that:</font> <font color=black>When one of the survivors said "this is madness", everyone in the theater collectively thought "This is Sparta"

The scene where the dad kisses the mom and then goes bezerk is immense</font>

<font color=goldenrod>But yeah, great movie.</font>

PapaGeorgio 05-21-2007 01:29 AM

I really liked how it started. Like way it was going you thought it would be slow till things picked up then BAM things went crazy and you got a huge adrenaline rush. Sadly it did slow down after that until the Mother/Father kiss scene Big Vito mentioned. Overall was pretty good though.

haha I was drunk and actually yelled that out loud...I couldn't help myself...but people lol'd so it was alright.

Good follow up to the first film. I liked the addition of Begby from Trainspotting and Michael from Lost. The helicopter part, though pretty implausible I think, was really fucking cool. Also the daughter in the movie was kinda hot...hopefully she's of age :shifty:
