Webomatica: Movie Notes: 28 Days Later

  • Amanda · 1 year ago
    Now I am curious about this movie. It's been a long time since I'm not at the cinemas to see a movie like that!

    This flick came out way back around 2002 or so - I'm pretty late to the
    party. You can surely rent it as i did :)

    Amanda, if you're in the U.S. (or can spoof a U.S. ip address), you can watch the full movie legally on hulu.com (limited commercial interruption):

    Jason - the sequel is worth seeing even though Danny Boyle was not involved and it features a completely different cast. 28 Weeks Later is not as good as the original film, but at the very least it is very distinct from the original and explores a host of other themes (rather than just rehash). I'd liken it to the differences between Alien and Aliens (which isn't too far off since 28 Weeks Later presents what would happen if the U.S. military arrived and tried to manage the quarantine).

    Cool, I've already added 28 Weeks Later to my netflix queue (Hulu had some
    excerpts, but I'd rather not watch them and spoil the flick. Based on your
    description and what I've heard elsewhere, it sounds more "actiony" but
    ought to be a decent rental.
