Typical attempt to exploit the fears of a potential biological attack on America, the film is a waste. Could have been more intense and active, but I got bored about 15 minutes into it.

This was a really well made movie, and it wasn't even advertised that heavily. When I saw this, we went to the theatre to see Terminator III, and 28 Days Later looked interesting, so we watched it as well. T-3 was your typical action/sci-fi movie that was entertaining enough, but 28 Days Later was a real find.

This was not what I expected, but after watching it a couple times, it was hard not to give it at least 4 stars. It's a good movie with good acting and some shocking scenes, and it's as different as any movie in the "zombie genre" can hope to be (although this isn't technically a zombie film; it's more of a people-gone-crazy-from-a-virus film). Lots of people think that "zombies" (or whatever they are) that run instead of slowly lumber along are a rediculous concept, but I think it worked well in this film. Worth checking out if you want to see something different.

I loved this movie. My favorite thing about it though was the lead actor...YuM!! I also thought the use of 35mm film for this movie really made a difference in the emotional effect.

Distracting CGI effects aside, this movie is more of a sci-fi thriller than a pure horror film. Good twists but those special effects bothered me.

This was definetly different. I thought the story was well thought out. I really could of done without the crotch shot of the lead actor, whoever he was, but other than that, a good effort. I think the concept of running dead was first brought to life here in this film, so cudos for that. The whole movie kept me guessing, I didn't know what to expect from the advertisement. When I went to see this movie, it was an accident, because I went to see Freddy vs. Jason and it was sold out and this was the only other horror movie on at that perticular theater. All in all, I own it, I liked it enough to watch it twice in the theater. So check it out!

As someone else said - great plot, potential - boring as an eternity in hell and acting that makes you want to claw your eyes out. Not British films best - however, Shaun of the dead is great. Would recommend not seeing 28 Days Later - it embarasses us Brits even more. Oh, and British soldiers are not like that.

28 Days Later was a good movie, but in many instances, it was lacking. The story line was decent, but the writing was horrible. There were only a few scary moments. But the extra footage and stuff on the DVD were excellent. The Radical Alternate Ending was very interesting. And one of the alternate endings had a bit of humor in it. Overall, it was an average movie.

I'll have to disagree with my mentor PBeavr on this one - I thought this movie was pretty damn good. I'm a big Alex Garland fan (the guy who wrote the screenplay), so admittedly, i was a little biased in the film's favor going in. I thought the early scenes in an empty London, with buzzing indy rock blaring in the background were effective, and I really liked the plot. I thought the no name actors were passable, but the movie is made by the cinematography and really cool storyline. There are all kinds of allegories you can read into the plot - how sometimes protection from the danger can be worse than the danger itself. Read into that as you may.

I didn't see what was so scary about this one. The scariest thing was the full frontal nude of the leading male. I found myself laughing half the time but other than that it was very well done considering they worked with a limited budget.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with every single one of these comments. Maybe if the ads for this movie were different the rating would be a 3. Everyone was saying this was the scariest movie since The Excorsist. Yeah, right. This is a zombie movie that was not scary at all. It seemed like every scene was pitch black. Its very difficult to find out what was happening. I love zombie movies, but this one showed how many zombies? 5? The zombies looked like normal people just with a little blood on thier face. The movie starts off horrid; animal rights activists cause the disease to spread. After that its good until the action starts, which is where it gets all dark. Finally, too many questions were unanswered. I hate that. This was a good idea at a modern day Night of the Living Dead, but turns out to be a non-scary, pitch black mess of a movie. Night of the Living Dead lives on!

The film was a little too dark in its cinematography. I got the point, but I don't really enjoy the look, especially when you're watching a DVD, and you're not in a theater. It had an ingenious plot: 12 Monkeys meets Dawn of the Dead. I'm glad the message (We were killing each other before; we're killing each other now -- what's the difference?) was naive and thankfully short and sweet. But the mayhem that followed was fabulous! If he had used more light, I would have given it a 5.

As far as horror flicks go, this one is mediocre. A few very scary scenes, but the plot began to bore me. Granted, the story was original and had a lot of psychologically deep meaning, but the plot could have been presented in a more suspenseful way. Overall, I would call this one average.

Although not a completely original concept, "28 Days Later..." is definately a thought-provoking movie. I was relieved also to find out it wasn't another "Final Destination"-like, teenie bopper killing fest. It is actually very intelligent and suspensful, with lots of subtlties (showing often rather then telling) with great visuals (the digital filming). However if you have a short attention span, and/or just want some cheap thrills, this movie isn't for you. This modern apocalyptic tale had me clinging to my boyfriend quite a few times, cringing with what was happen next. Afterward, my mind was happy to delve into the concepts the movie had presented-- something I think any good movie should make us do. Highly recommended!

I give this film five stars, not basing it on the entire world horror films, but the horror films of today. It's hard for a horror fan to find a good flick nowaday. The concept of survival is portrayed very well, and the originality of the zombies' behavior, as compared to George Romero's, was incredible. Finally, a new take on old material.

At last, a film that the British movie indusrty can be proud of. We certainly wasn't expecting it to be popular in America. The film has a fantastic plotline, amazing music and some of the scenes take your breath away. It was very strange seeing London without any people or traffic there, especially since I live in London. The action is kept up very well and the fact that the entire film was shot in digital makes a noticable difference, especially when it is raining. The DVD is good as well as you can see the alternative endings and documentaries. Bloody fantastic.

I really enjoyed this movie. True it stuck to the old zombie flick/end of the world formula. But it is the first movie in a long time that has felt like a horror flick and not a prime time teen flick.

I was reading an ad in the paper and it said that you will be looking for the exit at the 5 min mark and thats exactly what I did. The movie was very well made,shot,and acted.The disturbing factor of this movie was through the roof.Many unexpected events and happenings in this movie to keep you on edge at all times.If you want to see somthing push the boundaries of movie making go see it.

Very graphic film (full frontal nudity, lots of language and lots of blood) about a horrific virus which infects people in a matter of seconds, leaving England with only a few survivors and a LOT of zombie-like creatures. Interesting, grainy cinematography, one of the few movies which aren't jam-packed with a ton of special effects (kept to a minimum), and an "okay" storyline. If you can't handle the nude male figure, a lot of cursing, or a lot of blood, then this isn't for you. Otherwise, I recommend it.

A gory, creepy thriller from the director of "Trainspotting." Remarkable acting and frantic cinematography make up for what may lack in terms of plot. Ultimately, this is a fierce critique of the nature of humanity, masked in blood and trauma. If you're looking for more than a mindless action flick, you won't regret seeing this film. But don't see it alone...
