28 Weeks Later: Spoilers

[erisi236]

Am I the only one that watched this flick and couldn't really tell if it was good or not?

I finally got to see it today and I dunno, I'll say I liked it as a really violent "they're not really zombies" zombie movie, but damn some of the stuff irritates me like a cold sore you just can't stop rubbing with your tongue.

The beginning for instance, pretty cool in it's own right, crazy and violent, but then they do a "what happened after that crawl" and it's all messed up, cuz what happened in the opener must have happened at least a week or two after the outbreak, but that crawl tells us otherwise.

Then theres the surviving mom, ok, so she somehow lived after that first attack cuz shes got some immunity to the Rage, and for some reason the not-zombies didn't tear the crap out out of her, only took a little nibble, but then she also survived 28 weeks after that? I suppose, but damn.

The Military seems to have an awesome containment plan, cram everyone into a small space, lock the the front door, and not bother with the rear door. Surprise, it doesn't work and a not-zombie gets in.

How many people were in that complex, a million? There must have been to be able to run past all those gun emplacements with heavy caliber machine guns rattling away.

Speaking of the Military, they've really got to stop buying "Seld-M-Break" fences on the cheap, 10 guys are apparently are enough to bring them down.

Oh, and whats up with that Dad not-zombie somehow being the first one made and the last to go, it's one of those "roll eyes I guess the Daughter will have to kill him" type of things that bug me in movies.

It's a kind of movie that I hate to pick apart like that, but all that stuff somehow brings me out of the movie, making a movie I should really like, something that makes me make a face.

I still liked the good stuff though, the music being consistent with the first one was cool, I also like how they weren't afraid to brutally kill main characters. Theres also something about running "zombies" thats just damn scary, you'd never survive that, the World is f***ed.

So yeah, what did other people think of this movie?

Liked it, but not as much as I liked the first movie.

However, that helicopter kill sequence may just be one of the most violent things I have ever seen in a movie. Sheer, gore splattered goodness!

I agree it was good but not as good as the first one. And the daughter f***ed everyone over.

They're doing a third one, hopefully they'll bring back Cillian Murphy as Jim somehow.

Ok...but can someone explain the ending then?

Are they all dead? Did that chopper crash land? And that shot of the Eiffel Tower....wtf?

Like I said, the daughter (Tammy) f***ed everyone over. Her brother (Andy) was infected with the virus. Even though Andy was immune, he was still a carrier of the virus. By her not telling Flynn, and lying to Andy, she screws everyone. That allows the virus to get out the containment area.

I'm guessing Flynn, Tammy and Andy are all dead.

it was awesome.

But I like almost anything with zombies.

I hope it was better than the first movie. The first movie I thought was terrible.

What I always wondered is, what happens once everyone becomes a zombie? Do they all die off when there is nobody left? Or does the virus die off and they go back to humans? Or do they start killing each other to survive? Or do they evolve and start killing animals?

Man I LOVED the last shot. You see all the quick camera movements and then you see the infected running towards the Eiffel Tower. That was cool. Only thing I woulda changed is the music. I woulda kept the same, but like had it start and end at a different time. I woulda had the music reach its climax as you see the Tower from in the tunnel.

And actually it was the peoples who mad the RAGE diseases' fault. The monkey was just a pawn. If you want a more direct person to blame, then blame them stupid animal rights people who wouldnt shut up and leave.

Only thing I really hated, like alot of others did, was the way the RAGE started again. I know the guys a pretty big name there, but come on. Only people that would be allowed to see this lady who could cure in the infection all together would be the biggest top level people and scientists.

Another thing I didnt get was: why were the guys in suits shooting the cars? You would think they would know that the infected are too blind with rage to actually drive.

But yeah for real the running zombies is the scariest kind. Screw that "oh there slow but they're ominous and you know there coming and in large groups they could overtake a Wal-Mart" crap. Id rather be trapped in a building with 50 slow zombies over like 3 fast ones any day. Slow zombies would never take over the world, unless it was that "everyone who dies, becomes one stuff", thats the only chance for them. But eventually they would fix that. What makes the fasts ones WAY scarier is that its realistic and not hard to imagine them taking over the world. Because of the fact that just ONE is dangerous. One slow zombie stumbling towards you aint dangerous, trip him and jump on his head. Run and find a weapon, you got plenty of time. The fast zombies, they run just as fast as anyone, and the infection spreads in like 10 seconds. That could be thousands of people a day, just starting with ONE. The only realistic way to take out an entire group of people like that would be to blow up the country, and if ONE, just ONE happened to be far enough, theres a huge chance he could bite one more person, and it could start all over again...

Yeah, that was another WTF moment for me. This chick is more then likely a carrier of the plague but they just leave her in that room with no guards or scientists watching her 24/7. Crazy ole' Dad just waltzes right in.

Anyone notice that one of the commercials has a huge spoiler in it? Like, Fangoria posting a picture of Zombie Ed From Shaun Of The Dead on the friggin' cover-type spoiler?

It was okay. I liked the infection scene with the Scottish bloke. The Full Monty guy ruined it for me though. I hate him in movies.
