28 Weeks Later (Impressions, Hopes)

[Magician]

Planning to see it tonight, if not, this weekend.

Reviews say the directing focuses less on style and more on gore.

Sounds like fun.

 

[Mark of the Wolves]

My friend saw it Wednesday night. He said it had some wtf moments, but it was still awesome. His impression with the clips shown on FX got me a little excited about it.

 

[DevilRedeemed]

sh!t this is out in the US already?

 

[Average Joe]

I almost wrote this film off entirely, but it's getting some really solid reviews.

A lot of them make mention of the impressive and excessive gore.

Which is all I really need to hear to get my in a theater seat.

It comes out today? I'm interested --not sure I'll be able to see it this weekend though.

 

[GregN]

Color me surprised this is out too. I'll try to catch it this weekend if I have time.

Looks like the reviews can be summarized as "smart and very violent"

I'm gonna give Paul and Mike jingle when I get home, find out if they're down for seeing this tonight at Southdale. If not, maybe tomorrow with delly and pink.

 

[Blue Steel]

The commercials just show fire spreading everywhere. It's for that reason that it looks gay and I won't be seeing it. Saw the first one and thought it was very boring "omfg zombies!" - actually I don't think I actually finished watching it, I stopped somewhere near when they got to that apartment with the Christmas lights on or a house out in the middle of nowhere, I forget.

 

[Michael Yagami]

I hold no hope for this movie. No one from the original is involved. Its just greedy bastards treading on name value hoping to cash in.

 

[Gameoz]

I had a topic like this back in late April but it has dropped back many pages since then.

I want to like this movie but with no key players from the first being involved, I have a feeling it won't be that great.

The NYT review has a nice video clip that shows some of the flick. I'm very interested now.

I just got back from seeing it. I enjoyed it ALOT.
It does not have the same style as the first, but it definitely holds its own.
They do a little too much with that shaky cam crap (think Borne Supremacy). But it was not too obtrusive. Other than that I thought it was very good. A+

It is kinda sad knowing this movie is going to be overlooked due to the huge blockbusters on the horizon. I think it is way better then Spiderman 3. But I know it won't take in even a fraction of what that movie has made.

And for what it's worth Danny Boyle was an executive producer for this.

i thought it was good, but why the bloody hell did they end it the way they did?

another one maybe?

This movie doesn't have a chance. Spider-man, Pirates and Shrek will make sure of that.

 

[Electric Grave]

It was OK, very nice cinematography, and a very intense score. Damn those brits have some fucked up teeth .

The colors were pretty uniform throught out most of the movie, except for the intro, which was the best part of the movie.

Night of the Living Death (1990), and Dawn of The Dead (The remake) kick the shit out of this movie anyway.

 

[Average Joe]

Night of the Living Death (1990)

This was a remake as well.

 

[Electric Grave]

This was a remake as well.

Well fucking duh! That's way I put the year on it. WHo in hell doesn't know this!

Seriously though, not trying to be offensive, just don't take me for a ride.

It struck me as odd that you would put the year for Night then put "remake" instead of the year for Dawn... just a curious lack of continuity is all.

The truth is that I didn't remember the year that DOTD was remade. 2002 isn't it?

28 Years Later

You skipped months.

Can't wait to download this mofo

 

[GregN]

Saw it with a buddy. All I can say is I'm glad I paid the matinee price.

 

[jeff bogard]

I wasn't really thrilled when the 1st one came out, and im not again for this one. but many people are. Hope you guys enjoy it, for some reason it just never caught my attention.
