28 Days Later was a great film and was a cute reminder of how basic we could be; Creme De Menthe and candles, Budgens booze counter, say no more. As for the film, great! To film London deserted was a feat in itself. The storyline was conventional (zombies/virus), but the way it was portrayed was exceptional. As for 28 Weeks Later, well, it was definitely a follow-on, but with it's own twist. The ending being the destruction of Europe by those saved at all costs was good. Will we see a third film..? Watch this space.

It is the year 2057. The sun is about to peter-out in about 50years. A mission was sent seven years ago to reignite the sun; the ship disappeared. Now a new mission and last chance.

We are now introduced to the standard crew mix over the obligatory eating scene. The mission is reviled. We learn of each person's personality and quirks. And it takes a long slow time. (For people with Blu-ray you can fast-forward with sound on, it does not sound Mickey Mouse.) Soon we find the fate of the previous ship. We also suffer from an accident caused by miscalculation. Will these mishaps jeopardize the mission and the human fate?

The film is a tad slow probably by design and there are lots of flashy visuals. Many look like they ... Read More:

It's a pity but this film doe's not live up to expectations.It is nothing but a montage of scenes tacked together without rhyme or reason,mixed with stupid camera tricks.Some of the directors of today seem to use this approach when they lack talent or fresh ideas.All in all, one of the top three worst movies of all time.I gave it one star only because the synopsis had potential(until they actually made the film).

as someone from Edinburgh who lived and went to plenty of the places mentioned in Trainspotting i have to say read the book the book instead which has the full content and message rather than just a comic short hand for what was happening at the time. It made fashionista fools think that taking hard drugs was a nice activity and gave them kudos and brought in too many people too Edinburgh looking for that lifestyle.
I have never managed it all the way through and think it is just an alternative advert for Britain for the naively trendy or people who misguided enough to think that the pathos and dark humor wasn't there to balance the story...great cast though and on the whole well acted but an overrated footnote to late 90's Britain

I wasnt very sure about getting this DVD but I'm glad I did. Its an original feelgood movie with some moral lessons included. Sure it's whacky and offbeat at times and the storyline is a bit wobbly in places, but its heart is in the right place, and most viewers will therefore be won over in the end and will be left with a smile on their faces and a brighter outlook on life.

Buy it and see.

You see, when a film is made of a book, you expect more than just some similarities. While we still have most of the Garland characters and the general pretense of a hidden community on paradise island, we lack the biting story to go with it. Imagine a 'Lord of the Flies' remake without the kids going kill crackers. This film has great cinematography, but lacks the moral fibre the book oozed. Shame really, as they knacked the beaches up while they filmed it too.

This is amazing, the first blu-ray movie that i really thought sucked qualitywise. The movie itself is really good and i give the sound 5/5.

Keep the DVD version until a better one is released- yes- they do look the same at the moment.

Has a lot wrong with it, mainly credibility wise, but the dialogue is sharply written and the roles are sharply played by up and coming actors who make their presence known here. Also has that edgy feel of an ambitious new wave cinema piece. Very watchable.
