If you haven't seen the movie and want everything to be a suprise, DON'T READ THIS THREAD.

OMG. Frogopus and I just got back from seeing 28 Weeks Later. I have a very positive opinion of the movie. I like gore and blood and it served my needs.

During and after I just can't believe how similar it is to L4D! If you haven't seen it, GO SEE IT! L4D has the same feel with the zombies and zombie parts flying everywhere etc.

Holy crap, the helicopter in the field scene has to be one of my favorite ever. That was just so awesome.. It has to be implemented in L4D I don't care how long it'll take!

Also, the nightvision scope at the end which I didn't think was a very well done part offered maybe some gameplay we could see later on. It'd be a really cool map, and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to mod in where one person has nightvision while the other 3 can't see a thing.

And for the end, I can't wait for the next one :D

I left with a different impression (just opinions not spoilers really):

First half was pretty weak and mostly cheap shock and gore, second half picks up a bit with some interesting character dynamics. There were a number of breaks from the first movie but those breaks seemed like they were right out of L4D so that was fun. Good movie if you like the genre, but 28 Days is much more my speed.

man that night vision part kinda scared me xD i thought there would be a lot more zombies down there though i mean u see loads of them rushing down there when they r on the trail of the survivors.. and did u see that baby's carrage in the sub way with all the dead bodies? Hope that wasn't an illegal baby or some thing cos the kid was 12 years old and i dont think i would go in a carrage and im only 15 xD . but any who i think the end was just showing (the part when u see the infected running around in Paris) that the infection was spreading all over the world again or some thing between those lines..

I dont quite get this movie, mostly because I wasnt paying attention in the beginning. How does the boy get chased down by infected if they're all dead? Also that Don guy, and the black dude who votes to kill the chick are like wow... stupid.

Come to think of it there are a lot of stupid things in this movie (not the movie stupid, but people in it), like... someone is pushing a car in a military uniform why the hell would you light them on fire? Its not like the first thing id do after getting infected would be to push a car around for the fun of it. Alteast you have to appreciate doyle and scarlett though, taking the initiative to acutally save those kids, next movie would have the whole world pwned if they didn;t find a cure.

that the infection was spreading all over the world again

It never got out of great britain (or britain in general dont remember) the first time.

05-14-2007, 04:46 PM

yah it did i just watched 28 days later again (today) :D and it said some thing about before all the news went down the infection got to Paris and New York so i was probably dead xD

i know its dumb but they had to exterminate any thing! they werent wearing the same gas clothes which meant he wasnt exactly with them or some thing.. idk.. but anyways im sure if he hadn't left his post he wouldnt have died

05-14-2007, 04:51 PM

Yeah but still, after killing the thousandth infected you have to wonder what someone is doing pushing around a car. A tiny difference and that NBC dude could have torched mankinds chances of survival.

frogopus

05-14-2007, 04:52 PM

dontleave, I got a similar feeling with some parts, although in my head I think I could rationalize them. Worth seeing just for the crazy similarity to L4D.

L4D > 28 Weeks imo

05-14-2007, 04:53 PM

Oh yeah, the helicopter scene was my favorite too, twas super. Oh yeah, about the end part, does Andy spread the infection or does it spread passed quarantine on its own?

05-14-2007, 07:29 PM

dontleave: I'm pretty sure Andy passes it to someone and it spreads like that. That little jerk is the cause of all of the problems.

Woops, that's all the main characters...

They are hopfuly making a "28 months later" because 28 weeks is still set in 2003 or 2004. Then "28 years later" Then "28 decades later" Finaly "28 Centries Later" O.O

After the movie my friends and I were talking about the infection and i said "It's seems to be a STD"

I think at the end that the sister kissed her brother and then she got infected and the people in europe didn't really know what it was untill almost everyone was infected, or they were running test on him and it got out or something. At the end it was france right? because my friend was like "No it's not!" I thought the movie was a little short.

I couldnt figure out if the wife meant to give Robert Carlyle Aids in the face when there was the whole I love you thing. At first when he was monging out she was just like yeah whatever then when he starts bashing his face against the window she decides its time for a right ol' scream.

Was I the only person to shout "Boom Headshot!" when the woman shot the guy breaking his face against the kids window?

And lets face it the whole thing wouldn't have happened if the wife listened to Robert Carlyle and either
a) Didn't let the kid in (Anyone spot the references to Hot Fuzz in the film? The kids from Sandford and the swan in the middle of the Road, there's others im sure)
b) Went with him out the window when he said

See women! listen to your men and you may escape Zombie apocalypse yet!

Or atleast not respread the disease..

Yeah what happened at the end? The helicopter seats were like ripped up and did andy get his sister and the pilot? I mean he doesnt turn into the rage form but does he like.. kiss one of them lol.

Sucks that doyle died.. hes cool!

lol yah when i didnt think Doyle would have died :*(

frogopus

05-15-2007, 10:54 AM

No Shelter, I'm pretty positive he was immune and that the mother was as distraught/zombie like because of the horror/abandonment/eating maggot-ridden food. Basically, we're left with the assumption that the kids offer a chance for a cure (we assume the girl has the gene passed on but don't know/its not relevant). He may be able to spread the disease but I think the sister realized what everything meant by the end.

I was actually very surprised that Doyle and the doctor died and it was pretty disappointing because Doyle's time on screen was one of the highlights for me

Tarron

05-15-2007, 11:47 AM

yeah he was kinda immune like his mum,

what i didnt like about the movie was that their dad when infected seemed to have no intelligance, just barbaric mindless violence, and bashed their mum's head in (wince at eye gouge) but what i didnt like was there was a scene were you saw him stood still looking at the kid, then the next minute he was gone.... i didnt like that, cause infected are not meant to think, he was meant to run at them and attack them... but he dissapeared, wtf? (or is it just me that thinks that...

also have a hard time beliving that basically... a janitor, or care taker burser, or whatever, would have the clearance to a medical facility... and why would you have a quaranty place with like minimal security, esp with someone you suspect has the virus... that didnt make snse to me... then again it wouldnt of been much of a movie if he couldnt get to her :)

I kinda thought it was cheesy that zombie dad survived the whole thing.
Doyle kicked so much ass and he died in such a lame why. Really really disappointed me.
how much did it rock in the beginning when the dad was running to the boat? I just thought "L4D L4D!!!!!" the whole time. If the country maps are like that its gonna own.
Chopper scene rocked and I was so happy that whiney guy died. The movie was a lot more fast paced than the first and I thought it was a blast

Im still waiting on my idea for a movie. "28 Seconds Later"
Oh look a zombie
28 Seconds Later
*zombie dead on floor*
Well. That was anticlimatic.

Hey do you guys think that eventually it's gonna hit the US? It's a British film but it spread to France so unless they quarentined Europe there's a chance someone could carry it via a boat or plane or something.

dontleave

05-15-2007, 05:09 PM

Maybe, maybe not, US seems to be taking the initiative. It depends... US have TIME, the virus cant go passed an ocean unless someone brings it through, thats probably what they're going to stop as soon as infection goes passed Great Britain (which means someone crossed the isle into mainland Europe).

In my opinion though, if it makes it passed Europe and into Russia, it'll spread all over that giant land mass that is Asia,India,ME, Europe. It'll probably spread easily over Africa.

Safest are the island countries like Japan and New Zealand, probably New Zealand though, as its cleaner in my opinion than Japan. People go to and from Japan a lot, and its so very close to China, which if it reaches will spread the virus like wild fire same with Russia just because of their populations, and the state Russia is in.

I've taken your advice Tarron and now this whole thread is Spoilers.. the forum monster has carefully removed all of the SPOILER warnings!

I agree with you Tarron, Frogopus and I were saying the same thing during it. It's dumb how he's like a mindless crazy guy that kills his wife and then suddenly he can choose whether or not to attack people.

Tarron

05-16-2007, 05:01 AM

yeah man exactly. i dont think it would of taken alot more to edit the plot a little.... but hay im not the one making those decisions :P rock on 28 months :)

i was shocked when he killed his wife.... because she was infected... the infected don't beat each other up... i didnt understand why he would attack her... because im prettry sure she couldnt of escaped from the house in the beginning with all the infected raiding it... so confused on how she escaped and not pwned by the infected.

:D

flavaflav

05-16-2007, 08:23 AM

the gayest thing about 28 weeks is that the infected woman wasnt being guarded as she shoud've ..that was gay and Don had to pass to get in there too,,,wtf?i was shocked when he killed his wife.... because she was infected... the infected don't beat each other up... i didnt understand why he would attack her... because im prettry sure she couldnt of escaped from the house in the beginning with all the infected raiding it... so confused on how she
the kid bit her but she managed to run away

i saw that mate, but in one of the first scenes you see her at the window and the infected was storming the house... i couldnt see her getting out easily, and it really wasnt shown how she escaped :)

Prometheus

I had only two major problems with this movie, otherwise I thought it was great.

They didn't guard the only person in the world capable of causing another outbreak. Not one single guard.

The fact that there were seemingly unnoticed door/hallway that their father breaks in through to infect all of the quarantined people.

Other than that, there were only some minor details that bothered me. I thought it was overall a fantastic film.

Babylinda

05-17-2007, 06:42 AM

Omg the movie got me even more hyped for Left 4 Dead! That is all I was saying in the movie! All those zombies after you and shooting that many ! It was insane! I may be a zombie in the game also! Why not!

squerl

05-17-2007, 06:57 AM

Yeah, the movie definitely got me in the zombie-killing mood.

Prometheus: I was also wondering how he got out of the room after he turned infected (the dad).. that door should have had an automatic close on it (I thought it was closed), and should have been locked. They wouldn't let that door be open from the inside.

dontleave

05-20-2007, 09:37 PM

Anyone know what gun Doyle was using on rooftops?

Something else stupid about the movie: Protocols, I hope they didn't base these off of real life situations, the first thing they do after getting people in quarantine is turn off the lights so infected cant see, but none of their soldiers are equipped with night vision?

MarxismIsOk

05-21-2007, 01:10 PM

I LOVED this movie. I do think its interesting how quickly a person can become infected, though, that is a huge departure from the tradition zombie bite8-48 hours scenario. We're talking, complete infection in under a minute. So thats why I think the rage virus spreading to the US wouldnt be plausible, unless there are other carriers(I guess a boat scenario would work too...now THAT scares the crap outta me).
Frog; I walked away with a completely different idea of the end. I think the whole differential iris discussion in the beginning was to show that the son inherited more genes from his mother than the girl did, there no reason to think she couldn't become infected, provided she had more of her good ol' zed dad's genes than her mum's. Also, there is no way the bad-ass black helo dude would abandon his chopper, he barely wanted to take the kids at all. I defintely got the idea that Andy cause a second outbreak in Paris, just like his mom cause a second outbreak in London. Though if he survived and showed up in the third movie....that would be interesting.
But anyhow; we know that the infection will basically wear itself out after five weeks before they all starve to death, so there really shouldnt have still been an infection in Paris; it would have had to been a fresher one. By the way; did anyone notice the still living infected in the aftermath of the chopper; I'm talking the upper half of an infected flailing about, and an infected with a HUGE chunk of its side completely gne, guts hanging out, heading towards the survivors; the first glimpse we've seen of infected being able to take more damage than humans.....perhaps Andy and his Mom have mutated the strain, making them a little more undead than before? Heh.

Squerl, I totally agree with you; mebbe he left his pass card in the slot..I dunno...but Prometheus was referring to the basement level the survivors were locked in. apparantly they did not check for a back door, that was pretty obviously there, nor did they umm....lock it. lol

dontleave

05-21-2007, 04:13 PM

28 Days was WAY better come to think of it, I hope 28 months does good though.

Prometheus

05-22-2007, 01:25 PM

While I agree that 28 days was better than months, I don't like to compare the two because they had different actors in them. (I'd still like to find out what happened to them though.)

Of course, I don't see it being unreasonable that the infection could have spread to Paris the traditional way as long as a good number of infected made it to mainland Europe. Paris isn't that far away.

Evilferret

05-22-2007, 02:36 PM

Maybe 28 months later will have the people from days. maybe they moved to somewhere in europe (paris maybe?) and the infection gets back and they try to survive but then they meet up with andy (some how if he is alive) and they figure stuff out (maybe vaccaine made somehow?) The americas and Australia (maybe japan) and antartica, iceland, green land, are safe?

28 Weeks later

05-22-2007, 02:56 PM

yah it did i just watched 28 days later again (today) :D and it said some thing about before all the news went down the infection got to Paris and New York so i was probably dead xD

That was just a rumor to stop people from escaping the UK cause you figure whats the point if your going to a country with more people that means more infected better chance of survival if you stay where you are hiding.

Anyway I loved this movie its my favorite next to the first I cant see how it got a C in some reviews I could see a B or A but I give it a A+++++++ also I dont think this movie was supposed to be truly amazing I thinks its more of a bridge that links the amazing first movie to the prolly Greatest horror movie ever which is the third one, if Im right thats why there wasn't to much character development and such.

sb_andrew

05-22-2007, 03:35 PM

First half was pretty weak

Did you not like the opening scene? That was freakin amazing. My mouth was open the whole time with the words "Oh shit!" dangling off my tongue. And besides, didn't they have to build up the story? I actually wish there was more character development (IE: more "quiet" time getting to know the characters). That's one of the reasons 28DL was so great, you really were attached to the main characters.

Doyle kicked so much ass and he died in such a lame why. Really really disappointed me.

How was it lame? He sacrificed himself to save the kids, isn't self-sacrifice a definition of a good hero? I thought that was pretty chilling scene (if you can get past how the gas didn't enter the car). But yeah, burning to death does suck.

Btw, I thought it was this movie's 'thing' (like how in 28DL each character searching for something (Jim a father figure, Selena for more than just survival, etc.) how everyone who tried to do something good got killed and some of the people who were "bad" survived.. Example: Doyle dying trying to save kids, Scarlet dying trying to save the kids, the heli pilot spreading the infection to Paris trying to save the kids.

the bad: Don surviving even though he ditched his wife (I know he gets killed later, but for that 'bad' action he did survive), the General issuing a Code Red, etc...

yah it did i just watched 28 days later again (today) :D and it said some thing about before all the news went down the infection got to Paris and New York so i was probably dead xD

Actually, later on in the movie the soldier who was going to get executed points out how Britain is an island and it would have been quarantined right away, and he complains how the rest of the world is still functioning while Britain is, well, infected. Plus Jim sees the plane in the sky before the mansion scene, and at the end of the movie they get spotted by a foreign fighter pilot.

Besides, if America was infected in the first movie, how the hell would they have the resources to re-populate Britain? I think its pretty clear that infection stayed in Britain during 28DL and for most of 28WL.

I really liked this movie. Thought it was really intense and I left the theater pumped and I couldn't stop talking about what happened in the movie. I did notice those silly things like how Don had access to the medical center, and so on, but I managed to just ignore them and enjoy the movie!. Glad I did.

I noticed a lot of people seemed to think 28DL was better. I just think they are two different movies. Especially considering how 28DL isn't really an experience you can reproduce in a sequel. I mean for one thing, who wants to see the same movie they saw in 2003? I thought that 28WL was a great movie, but different than 28DL. Certainly a lot more action!

Also, I don't think its fair comparing this movie to L4D. I mean for on thing, they are on two different mediums, and are not based on each other. Sure L4D zombies were inspired by 28DL, but that was before this movie came out...

Oooo, oooh, did anyone else notice how they used that song from the mansion scene in 28DL like 3 times in this movie?

Evilferret

05-23-2007, 10:24 AM

Wow...if you google 28 months later there so many things about it! It said "The director has announced that he will make a third "28 months later" but did not give specific detail"

WOOT! I CANT WAIT!

edit. I remember right after the movie we made fun of how horror movies the characters drop the keeps and my firends and i would be like "hurry start the car" and my dad would drop them and be panicky lol.. and also after the movie at the hotel we were at "for my b-day" we played infection it was fun and scary.

Neeto

06-01-2007, 07:12 PM

What made me think of Left 4 Dead was when Doyle appears in the shop after the virus spread, trying to get the civilians to a safe location. When they were in the allyway creeping around, single file (pwned the sniper dude) etc. That would be so kool though, if you and a few others had to protect civilians "hostages" and get them to the extraction point without them getting injured. Now that'd be a challenge. You could also give them orders to go hide in a room/shop etc. while you pwn all the zombies in the area...And if one of them somehow gets infected you have to like kill that guy before he infects the others... I dunno but that one little section of the film gave me that L4D essence with the street/allyway setup. But hey I can't wait for game to come out!

06-01-2007, 07:54 PM

Hmmm, is L4D based off 28DL/WL? The way Mike Booth tells it, they noticed it was fun to play against CS:S bots armed only with knives.

I also noticed this, but I am only 1 guy, and not able to produce a game. =/

IMO the two developed separately.

I realize that, but I also remember them saying the zombies from L4D (their movements, looks, etc.) were inspired by the infected from 28DL. Not the whole game, just the characteristics of the zombies.

Sorry that I don't remember exactly were I read that.

They're fast and thats the only similarity.L4D has smart zombies that don't run straight at you when you're holding a shotgun.

They share similar appearances, you cannot deny that. The way they run flailing their arms, how can you deny this? It's even in the wikipedia page (which cites an interview as its source) for L4D that the appearance of the infected were inspired by 28DL.

And they don't run into shotguns? Want to explain the clip from the 1up preview were an infected runs straight at a player holding a shotgun? It seems like your taking this personally?

Look, I'm not saying everything about these rabies infected people was inspired by 28DL, just their basic appearance.

Well no shit they look alike, they're people.

28 Days the zombies run straight no matter what.

L4D they don't. Watch that video again. In L4D, they dont flail around senslessly like in 28 days going "Boo" around corners, they're just over exagerate arm movements as they run.

Anyways I'm just going to try and settle this by saying we should agree to disagree.

Agreed?

I enjoyed it overall. Unfortunate that the first true infected of the new outbreak (Don) had an All Access pass to EVERYWHERE. Also, was that a Volkswagon they boosted? Damn thing must've been sitting there abandoned for ... well ... 28 weeks. 7 months? And it still managed a rolling start? Good craftsmanship! Crazy German automobiles ...

I really enjoyed it, I liked the grand scale of things, a different perspective from 28 days later. I thought the entire night-vision scene was a cheap scare, but I loved the fire bombing/gassing scenes.

And did anyone notice that the helicopter scene (which was awesome), the helicopter does the EXACT same thing as in the movie Grindhouse? Anyone?

Edit: Also, in regards to the argument about the infected, I'd have to say that L4D infected are almost an exact copy of 28 days/weeks later infected. Since when did the L4D infected avoid your gunshots? They're just like the ones in 28 weeks later, they'll run at any living thing no matter what.
