He didn't die on the DVD version. In the theatrical version, he died. Sadly. They have the alternate ending on the special features. Really?! I'm getting confused...a friend of mine saw the movie at the cinema and he told me there was the same ending (he survives) of the dvd version I have (where among the extras there is the alternate ending where he dies), that is the same of the VHS version and the version I saw on tv before I bought the dvd...so...I'm confused...theatrical version is the cinema version or not??! Help meee |

I probably won't see it. Personally, I think it looked horrible. The only possible way I might have seen the movie was if Cillian way in it. But he isn't, so thank god I have no incentive to see it.

Help meee I'm pretty sure that the movie was released showing Jim surviving, and then the alternate ending one was released a bit later, with the ending where he dies. (Or it might be the opposite way around, I don't remember.) I only know that they did that in the US, they might have used the ending where he dies in the UK, since there's less of a need for happy endings there. & 28 Weeks Later just made my day, since there's an ad for it on the myspace homepage, and before the trailer they show the clip of 28 DL where Jim's walking around deserted London. My favorite part ;D |

I finally saw the trailer for 28 Days Later.
Guh. I withdraw my earlier comments.
As many people have stated, the movie does look like crap. It's hardly even *Innovative* It seriously looks like everything we *didn't* see in 28 Days Later before Jim woke up, but with a lot of American-Hollywood explosions thrown into the mix. 28 Weeks Later just looks like 28 Days Later if America made it first, only Hollywood had 28DL as the predicessor, so that 's kinda cheating to begin with.
I'll say it again. Guh. Just, guh.

I don't really know if I want to see this. I mean, 28 Days was pretty amazing. Zombie-like people and Cillian shirtless... You can't get much better than that. Hah. But... I don't know. Sequels always seem to ruin the original for you. -shrug- We'll see.

The family and I went to watch this and it was kinda okay. Not really good, but okay. I liked the music for it though. =/

SPOILERS for 28 days....although i'm sure you all have seen it  From what I've read, Danny Boyle originally intended to use the ending where Jim dies as the "real" ending, but the studios were pressuring for a happier ending, so when it was released in the US, half of the showings had the bleak ending and half had the happy ending. I remember because I was discussing the movie with a friend of mine who saw it but didn't see it with me, and we had disagreed over the ending. I saw the happy ending, so when she kept insisting that jim had died, i was like WTF haha This is kinda like what they did for The Descent (multiple endings). I always thought the ending with Jim dying made the most sense. The happy ending was nice, but was a little too cookie-cutter for me. In any case, i saw 28 weeks later last night and despite hearing some very good thngs about it, was not impressed. You don't really give a sh*t about any of the characters because nothing about them is fleshed out, so to speak. The focus was definitely OFF of the infected, i think. You felt like the military posed more of a threat than the infected. At least this movie didn't manage to embarrass its' predecessor (I'm looking at at you, Spider-man 3). |

Pukkina~ I knew it! But true, very true that Muse is great band. :3
I was thinking the same thing about the military part. It makes the infected look (sorta) like the innocence ones compared to the military. What I thought was really cheesy was the idea of the boy and mother being immue to the disease. Don't know why, but yeah. :/

I saw it on Saterday night. And I personnally enjoyed it, but then again people puking up blood and having limbs torn off is cool and amusing. so yeah. I really liked it. But the ending scene had me go, "no! NOT ANOUTHER ONE! DONT MAKE ANOUTHER MOVIE! AHHH" cause they left it wide up, thats all I am saying. but yeah.
7.5/10 from me

I really didn't expect to enjoy it, but I did. Of course I didn't love it like I LOVE 28DL, and the kids got to my nerves, but it still turned out to be a decent sequel. However I'm all for the petition... NO MORE SEQUELS! PLEASE, it just doesn't feel right to turn it into a trilogy, if it wasn't meant to be one. Hell even movies that were meant as a trilogy from the beginning have failed miserably in the second and third sequel (cough Matrix).

I was reading an interview in EW, and their perspective was about the same as you guys'. (bad grammar, I know, sue me). They said it was decent and bloody and all, but they mentioned that it just wasn't the same without Cillian and his gaze. |

I've seen this twice now. I couldn't wait for until my friend could go to the cinema with me so I made my mum go with me (and she's the biggest wimp, ever). And then I went to see it again with my friend this week, when she could go, for really cheap. I was a little disappointed the first time cos I wanted it to be better than the first, but it was still good. My mum thought it was better than the first, as did my friend. Now that I've seen it twice, I got to notice some really smart devices within the film. I know they've thrown in some big explosions- at first I thought it'd ruin the Britishness of the film, but now I think they pulled it off rather well. I don't really know why I like to see London being blown up (that's not a spoiler, if you've seen the trailer), but the effects (blood and explosion-wise) were rather realistic. The music was bang on, and I actually cried a few times. I love how dark the film is, like the first- i.e. that no-one is safe, because in most horror films you get children being spared, which isn't very realistic, because they should be the most vulnerable. Some people have said that 28WL is pretty anti-American, but I disagree.
It got a bit tiring near the end, but the first part is amazing. Robert Carlyle is hilarious, upsetting and shocking at the same time. One part with the kids annoyed me. And a few things didn't make sense, scientifically. Apart from that, good- it's worth seeing. But I still miss Cillian. And 28 Days Later is far better, in my opinion.
I don't mind another sequel, as long as they make it good.
