Well, it is like this. The good old science community has
been working a rage virus that sets monkeys feral with a need
to kill. Some even more sensible animal-rights activists ignore
the appeals of those scientists and release the infected monkeys.
Within minutes they are all dead and within 28 so is most
of Britain.
Stumbling through an eerily deserted London (and haven't
we all thought how great that would be while fighting through
crowds and traffic) Jim is saved from the zombies by two people,
one of whom is Selena (Naomie Harris).
They discover a father and daughter - Frank (Brendan Gleeson)
and Hannah (Megan Burns) - who have also managed to survive
and after hearing an emergency radio broadcast embark on a
risky journey seeking safety.
28 Days Later is an excellent, thoughtful post-apocalyptic
thriller that admittedly does have more than a touch of Resident
Evil. But it is good stuff and will bring out the chills both
physically and mentally as you ponder "could it really
happen?".
The transfer is deliberately shot in a documentary style
so don't expect bright colours and razor-sharpness. The sound
is not a major player in the movie.
Conclusion: 80% Extras: 75%.
