Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 I am a Horror Film Buff and I enjoy ZOMMMMBIE Flims, BUT i'm not sold on it yet. I was only planning on seeing Full Throttle, but I keep seeing the TV Spots for this movie. I don't know much about Danny Boyle. I've never seen Trainspotting, and I HATED The Beach. Anyway, sell me on it.
Guest HHH123007 Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 I've read about 20 reviews of it now (half movie-goer/half critic), and haven't heard a negative thing about it yet....
Guest ShamRock Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 What's it about? BTW, the Beach was kinda cool.
Guest Marshall Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Here's something negitive about it: IT SUCKS BALLS!
Guest Zack Malibu Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 NBT, just download it. I just did the other day, but am yet to watch anything past the first 5 minutes. I feared it would be a mislabeled film and I'd wind up with Sandra Bullock's "28 Days", but I did get the real deal. Check it out that way.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 The previews make it look like Omega Man redux.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Essentially, it is just another version of I Am Legend (the novel that The Omega Man was based on). But it's a more zombie-oriented version, whereas Omega has them as a highly structured order of freaks. Basically, think Omega Man means Dawn Of The Dead. That's the gist I get from it, anyways. Sell you on it? It's the first zombie movie to be marketed as a ZOMBIE MOVIE in nearly a decade and a half. Go see it, fucky.
Guest El Satanico Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 If you're a zombie fan like you said, we shouldn't need to sell you on it and you'd forget all about Charlie Angels this week.

I was only planning on seeing Full Throttle, but I keep seeing the TV Spots for this movie. I don't know much about Danny Boyle. I've never seen Trainspotting, and I HATED The Beach. Anyway, sell me on it. if it has to compete with the charlie's angels sequel for your attention, you don't deserve to see anything by danny boyle. therefore, i will tell you that it sucks anyway and isn't worth your time.
Guest Kid Kablam Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 If you want really good Danny Boyle, rent "Shallow Grave" and you will be sold. If you still need a bit more convincing, rent "Trainspotting' but SHallow Grave should be enough
Guest DVD Spree Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 I know I should know this as the DVD guy, but has anyone picked up the new Trainspotting Definitive DVD yet? WHat are the extras like?
Guest the 1inch punch Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 I liked The Beach Go see 28DL, its a truely different and imaginative film where a character doesnt resort to ripping out a gun. Plus i know the main guy in it and Chris Eccleston is in it
Guest NoCalMike Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 I watched the 6 minutes of footage the other day online and it got me pumped for this weekend. It looks good to me.

Um... What ? It's not competing with anything. I can see both. Thanks anyway...
Guest HBK16 Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 I get pumped up for this movie everytime I see the preview on TV. I am going to see it first thing Friday. Cant wait.
Guest Vyce Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 I've had it on my hard drive for about 3 weeks now. It's worth it, if you're into zombie flicks.
Mrnoitaull Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 I actusllt thought the Beach was pretty good; great narration, cinmatography.. but that's just me
Guest Ravenbomb Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 just because a zombie movie is a zombie movie doesn't mean a zombie movie fan will love it, like it, even tolerate it. I saw this movie called "The Dead Rise" or something, and it sucked SO BAD. Anywho, it may be the poor screen quality, but 28 Days Later bored me. I'll give it a look see on DVD, maybe off Netflix, but I can't sell you on something I have very little interest in myself
Guest El Satanico Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 As long as zombies are involved I'll like that movie on some level.
Guest Big_Jay101 Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 it really isnt zombies is it i thought they got messe dup by some medicine or something or some disease
Guest converge241 Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 i am so psyched for this and "the Eye" this weekend at the movies
Guest Vyce Posted June 27, 2003 Report Posted June 27, 2003 I actusllt thought the Beach was pretty good; great narration, cinmatography.. but that's just me Beach WAS a good flick. I've not seen, really, a lot of hate expressed for the movie. I think some people were just disappointed. Personally, I liked the film. I thought Leo did a good job (no small feat for me to think this, as I'm not his biggest fan). And the film fortunately had good source material, as Alex Garland's (who wrote this screenplay) novel, "The Beach", is pretty damn solid. Whomever ever said that these are not "true" zombies - yes, that's correct. The "zombies" in the film are humans infected with the disease "Rage" who have become post-human savages who wish to only kill or consume the non-infected.
Guest El Satanico Posted June 27, 2003 Report Posted June 27, 2003 I'd consider them to be scientific zombies, but zombies none the less.
Guest Legend Posted June 27, 2003 Report Posted June 27, 2003 The film starts really well, but the ending is quite poor. When hes walking around London on his own is a classic scene. The film has an excellent original storyline but the ending ruined it. Watch it for the first half at least
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 The film starts really well, but the ending is quite poor. When hes walking around London on his own is a classic scene. The film has an excellent original storyline but the ending ruined it. Watch it for the first half at least Exactly what I was thinking. I enjoyed the movie. I am one to see very few horror movies. I wasn't sure going in, but I went with a big group of friends. I enjoyed it. It was different and pretty good. The ending will kinda just leave you hanging though. Everyone in the theater pretty much had a "What the hell?" reaction when it ended.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 I thought the ending was great. Me and my friend Petone, who are pretty much the experts in our town on zombie films, agree that 28 Days Later not only is perhaps the greatest mainstream horror film in a LONG time (beats the fuck out of The Ring, believe me), but it's also a somewhat modernized version of Dawn Of The Dead and Day Of The Dead. The ending especially reminds me of Day Of The Dead.
Guest SP-1 Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 I thought it was a FINE film. The build for the main character and his actions in the end are superb and not overly-done. It has a realistic grit to it all the way around. Hell, it's not even a horror movie as far as I'm concerned. It's a study in human nature. And a good one at that. Go see it. Just make sure you're in a theater with people who don't have to be told what to like and dislike. I had to see it with retarded middle-schoolers in grown-up bodies. I wanted to kill.
Guest SweetNSexyDiva Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 The trailer I saw in the theater didn't really do it for me. I'll wait unitl it comes out on video.. and even then I might not watch it. I am just not into the cinematography I saw on the trailer.
Guest justsoyouknow Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 My friends and I all left the theatre shaking our heads, saying, "That was fan-fucking-tastic!". This was, quite possibly, the best film to come out so far this year. There were parts of the movie, that, thinking back on on the ride home, gave me goosebumps. It wasn't a straight-up zombie movie, either, it was, as already mentioned, an examination of human nature. And a great one at that. I whole heartedly reccomend seeing this film, stat.
Guest y2jailbait Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 The soundtrack is awesome. The first 15 minutes offers a slow-build background track that just explodes towards the end. I wish I knew who that was. The main character also bares an odd resemblence to Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin (notably from the "Yellow" video). As far as Zombie flicks go, if you don't mind sitting through a couple of dead scences and some minor plot holes, I'd recommend it.
