28 Days Later (the movie)
 
Did anybody see this movie? I loved it, bought it a few days later, but I noticed everybody I know that has seen the movie absolutely hated it, said it started too slow and whatever

if you have seen it what did you think? i'm curious

I thought it was an interesting production with some clever style, worth watching. The storyline was a little conventional, i would have liked to have seen some deeper stranger crisis than just the old "must protect females of breeding age, keep for myself..." theme.

Some compelling scenes, like when the father gets infected by the droplet, even tho you had to stretch believability, it had an alternate believeability, the awareness of the little thing that comes out of nowhere and destroys you.

I don't get a lot of conventional horror anymore but when you add a science fiction spin I usually enjoy it, even when it's pretty bad, like The Core or Underworld.

Actually Underworld was pretty good, I didn't structure that last sentence right. ;-}

Well I gotta agree with your other friends. It a BAAAD movie :D
Its been a while since I saw it... but I was absolutely not impressed. I don't even remeber why exactly... most be because I am subconciously trying to forget the whole thing LOL

I'm planning on ordering DOGMA, heard some good things about it here. Is it really a great movie or were you just kidding? :)

Mental Ernie AKA Hotlinker 2004-02-26 09:49 AM

28 days later is a nice watch but nothing really special.

Fonz - Dogma is good, buy it. Funny shit

jscott 2004-02-26 11:35 AM

Fonz: no i'm serious :P

and i agree, the ending kinda gets a little stupid with the "breeding" of the few girls, but still, the picture and the storyline overall is good imo

there is another movie coming out sort of like it, i just seen the preview for it and it looks pretty good too (forgot the name of it tho)

I watched the movie but to tell you the truth, I can't remember a thing about it :) For me, that is never a good sign.
