I loved the subtle hints that 28 Days Later dropped regarding the plot throughout the movie, also. For example, in the opening scene, when the scientist tells one of the activists that the chimps are infected with Rage, the activitist looks down at the ground with a worried expression on his face, as though he knows exactly what that means. This, coupled with the fact that the group of activists used an access card to enter the facility, could mean that that particular activist was an employee there, which is how the group knew about the chimps and were able to enter so easily. The fact that the movie never mentions any of this and leaves it to audience interpretation is a sign of fantastic writing.

They were also human and weak. They gave into human frailties and temptations like greed, lust, jealousy, violence. They lost their moral compass, which the military had provided but when that institution failed, there was nothing left. I think their behavior is a good example of why humans need a guiding moral force that does not come from institutions such as government. It could be religion or philosophy But the soldiers behavior shows what happens when all we have are external human controls to guide our behavior.

As a former British army soldier. Our officer would never act like their officer. The dinner service tho is a great touch as that’s what officers really do each meal. But what’s most unrealistic about the army part. I doubt we would fail to first execute him. Then get over run by one man. When theirs danger all around none stop you form you own rage virus. AdrenlIne 10 years from Afghanistan is still pumped for me. But I get the writing of the soldiers when the girls came. In Afghanistan 4 months on the front fighting daily in a small check point, without seeing a woman except the local you gain a different level of woman wanting. But I doubt after 28 days you would decide to rebuild Britain with two girls. Soldiers aren’t just evil like it makes out. It would a lot more people against the officers plan. Even tho he promised us woman. But it’s end of the world in their mind. Killing reach night I get why the officer promised them woman. The level of stress would be insane. But it’s been days since the check point had gone and he would of been thinking no one’s going to turn up

28 months first…

Even with 28 years later coming, I think they probably know that this film will still never be topped, at least in my opinion. Some of the shots in this film, are some of those ‘you were either smart enough to do that in the moment, or it would/will never have been done by anybody else’. No matter what zombie film has come after this one, they’ve never topped a 20 second sequence of Jim saying ‘hello’ to a crowd of corpses followed by two infected perching up and looking DIRECTLY at him, jaws wide open in almost a state of shock that he’s even there. The only scene in a zombie film that rivals 28 days later is probably the opening scene to 28 weeks, which was directed by Danny Boyle but he was mainly a producer, which is probably why the rest of the film is kinda ass. It was almost as if Danny Boyle was like ‘I never got to show audiences what it would’ve been like before Jim woke up’ and was then like ‘right, now you can proceed with this shit contrived story’ 😂

Being a huge George Romero and resident evil fan I was pleasantly surprised and it scared the Sh!!t out of me when I saw those zombies pop up in the church. It caught me off guard. But once I realized we are watching a zombie movie I was mad excited. That scene is iconic

Im definitely interested in your take of 28 weeks later 👍🐾💜

Last night my gf was telling me something that I can’t remember, but whatever she said, she used the word infected. So naturally I didn’t listen to what she said and I blurted out the first movie quote that came to mind instead and yelled “infected wiv wot?!?!?” ….Rage. Lol she looked at me like 😑 perfect timing for you to put out this video lol

Very well done! I saw this in the theater and I was absolutely blown away. It's an exquisite and deeply moral film in so many ways, beyond the horror. Subscribed.

Nice dive into that incredible film. I was not even aware that there was a sequel on the way but I look forward to it greatly. However I will say I thought 28 Weeks Later was a pretty reasonable successor. Certainly not up to the standard of the original but still pretty immersive.

@kamakazilee6066

28 weeks later suffers from a very annoying problem, which is ‘try to top the first with absurd action and the introduction to immunity’, instead of trying to add to the first film. Imagine you keep the opening scene, but have John be the main character of the film, instead of him being infected in the stupidest way imaginable. U.S military have this one single immune woman, yeah let’s give John THE HUSBAND, access to that exact facility with no armed security to deny him 😂. Imagine John going through the film, maybe even lies to the kids, and is then met with another scenario of ‘save my kids or save myself’. I think you can clearly tell that Danny Boyle directed the opening sequence, given the fact that it’s a 10/10 scene. 28 weeks later feels like every other ‘zombie’ film which is a letdown in and of itself

Wow......what a superb and amazingly profound analysis of this movie! Spectacular job tying in the relevance of it's message about our current society and elaborating on how all of it's themes regarding anger, rage, love, power/control, and morality transcend past this fictional story and straight into the real world and each of our own personal lives. It's by far the best commentary I've ever seen on the movie "28 days later." It gave me goosebumps, and it put tears in my eyes to watch.

Jim is one of the most underrated characters in this type of movie, so often the people left just don’t seem to get it or are idiotic tough guys and it always costs them…. I’ve always found that a bit simplistic, Jim brought a new dimension to that type of character and it made for great movie.

This is such a good analysis of a brilliant movie.

28 Weeks later is problematic because there, the infected are pretty clearly undead zombies.

Very Romero-esque.
