This has to be one of the most over rated films I have ever seen. 28 Days later had nothing more then a cool concept going for it. Sure it had a few very awesome scenes, but the majority of the movie is very boring. Not boring because there is no action, but boring because there is no story. If you are not going to give a good story at least give out some fun mindless zombie action. The story in this is about as deep as the story to Resident Evil, but at least RE knew what it was and tried to give a fun ride. But 28 Days Later tries to pretend it is something it is not. I did enjoyed the first hour, it was a little slow but I was expecting all this to go somewhere. It never did, and where it ended up just ruined everything good this film had going for it. I do give credit to Danny Boyle for doing a very good job with directing, but all of the problems in this movie come from the very bad script. It is badly written and is completely rehashed from every zombie flick that came before it. Basically this movie is just a bad zombie movie with a good director trying to dress it up as best he could. I am a huge fan of the zombie sub-genre, and I wanted to like this movie so much. But in the end I left the theater very, very disappointed. 28 Days Later – 5/10 |
