This is the most painfully average and uninteresting zombie movie I’ve ever seen. Literally any other zombie movie does something better than this.
>>217181307So you are just autoposting this? Who is the schizo anon?
>>217181295Not a zombie movie. Not zombiesNext
>>217181436the entirety of the movie follows established storytelling rules and world building of zombie films. The "infected" are not zombies but server in the exact same capacity as your traditional zombie. 28 Days Later or its sequels never delves into any science ficiton but remain squarely placed in the post-apocalyptic setting of a zombie outbreak you'll see in literally every zombie movie or book you can watch or read currently. I always see people make this argument for 28 Days later but never for The Last of Us, everyone that enjoys the Last of Us understand that the fungal infected are zombies with a real world -non-supernatural- explanation to their condition.
>>217181295Because you're brainrotted. It was unnerving back when it was released and long after. The infected were actually scary and even when they weren't on screen you were one edge. You are a brainrotted fatty. Go watch Fallout Season 2 with its tik tok shorts editing
Dear Zoomer,I don't doubt that this movie feels unoriginal to you watching it now, after you've seen fifteen billion seasons of the Walking Dead, and Zac Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, and The Last of Us, and approximately fifty thousand different Korean movies - all of which ripped it off as completely and shamelessly as anything has ever been ripped off...But doesn't the fact that it has been so utterly copied kind of demonstrate just how incredibly and SHOCKINGLY original it was when it came out? Maybe you can try to think things through yourself next time.Sincerely, every non-foetus
>>21718129528 days is to zombie movies what half life was to first person shooters. Also see >>217182064
I will skull fuck you to death zoomer
>>217181295The middle part had the best post-apocalypse vibes ever shown in a movie. The ending is... well it works as an action-finale I guess. I wish there was a movie about a scenario like that that had the balls to not go into the predictable "oh noes, zombie-horde RUN" direction but end on a somber note.Kinda like the road I guess.
>>217181295I'm always down for some fast zombie film/show recs
>>217181295I honestly enjoyed this a lot. For its age its well done and precursor to zombie genre.It's sequel though...
>>217182664>precursor to zombie genreI know zombies made a comeback a few years later but the most iconic zombie films of all time were made decades before this
>>217182664>It's sequel though...you mean the ten minute short film? everything after that doesn't count.
>>217182762I mean 28 weeks later
>>217182817yeah 28 weeks later, the 10 minute short film? followed by a couple hours of nonsense nobody watched
>>217182086Halo was what ruined fps. I can't even really think of anything that copied Half Life, it was more derivative of GoldenEye/Perfect Dark.
>>217182714romero movies have tons of charm and nostalgia but they arent scary in the way 28 days later is scary. in fact that was the general consensus at the time, that 28 days took the zombie genre to the next level and completely revitalized it - which, after 20 years of romero remakes and eight hundred walking dead shows, i can confidently say it did. someone earlier ITT said it was the genre's 'half life moment' and that is very accurate. everyone loves doom and quake and duke nukem but half life pushed beyond the then-limits of what the genre could be, just like 28 days.
Running zombies completely misses the point. Immigration is an ever looming unavoidable dread you can't escape from. There is literally nowhere left to go. People are looking to fucking Greenland now but even in the fairytale California science land where global temperatures increase to the average they once were, Greenland will still be an even more inhospitable shithole than even Canada.
>>217182864half life guy hereI'd argue the analogy also works in that both 28 days later, and half life, actually do hold up very very well in the present day, and OP is retarded. I remember watching 28 days for the first time a few years ago as a zoomer and it blew me away, I'm still passively obsessed with it to this day.btw my pitch for a movie - 28 hours later, close-to real time depiction showing the initial outbreak hitting london
>>217182933Nah let's do years instead with alpha zombies and completely retcon the infected dying instead :^)
>>217182848Halo? No that's was CoD 4
>>21718129528 days later is a great film but it does fall apart some when Cillian Murphy goes Rambo mode at the end
>>217181364Jimmmmmmmm, you have to let us breed with those women, jinmm. Drinking orangina is the answer to infection, jimmmmmmmm.
>>217183013The whole point of that scene is to show Jim(Humans) are just as crazy as the infected. Have fun in school this week buddy.
>>217181295I enjoy it up until they get to the army base and find out HUMANS ARE LE REAL MONSTERS!!
>>217183038see>>217183226I get it. Doesn’t mean I enjoy it
>>217182664>Films have an expiration dateKys faggot
>>217182064This, it remains the best zombie film I've watched. Filming most of it on a handheld recorder really gives it a unique film. As if it's almost found footage and a product of it's time. 28 years is dogshit in comparison.>>217182762>>217182834based
>>217183248never said that. But when you look at a movie you need to keep in mind when it was produced
>>217182978Halo was the slow motion handicap accessible fps. Go compare it to Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 which came before it. It brought in the people not smart enough for computers.
>>217183013Every Boyle movie falls apart at the end.
28 weeks later is the best movie in this semen slurping franchise. I tried watching Years last night and it put me to sleep.
>>217183567>t. la creatura abominable de los estados unidos
>>217183514Col Kurtz and his consequences have been a disaster for Boyle/Garland filmography
>>217183494Halo was a great game. CoD 4 was the start of the same game over and over. I guess you never played Halo 1 because that was huge on PC and took a lot of skill lol
>>217181436Based. Blew OP out of the fuckin water
>>217181436God you just prolapsed OP to oblivion. OP crawling on the floor while he proboscis anal tube drags in agony
>>217181436Just SMASHED OP to SMITHEREENS
>>217181436This, fucking OP.
>>217181295Just a ripoff of Day of the Triffids that replaced cool plant monsters with generic "infected."
>>217181295I tried showing someone this movie the other week, and holy fuck the intro is just SO fucking boring. Plus, the movie feels old as shit. Unironically it's not as good as people remember.
>>217181295Wasn't it shot on a budget?
>>217182064Very based post, OP is a fucking retard
>>217182933>>217182864You both need to watch more zombie movies, it's painfully obvious you haven't seen much. There is more than just Romero dating long before 28DL. It didn't revitalize the genre at all, that was ShaunOTD (which is mid). 28DL is still good tho, and truthfully still not a zombie movie either.This is a bit loaded as it's coming from someone who had the largest zombie movie collection of all time, I do understand there's a lot missed probably for the average viewer.
Finally someone said itDawn of the Dead (2004) mogs this shit so hard
>>217182064Good post. Is it an autistic trait to be unable to watch an older movie with consideration for its place in history? Probably.
>>217187127Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead is good, but 28 Days Later inarguably popularized the notion of 'fast zombies' in movies and video games.
>>217182064Its just boring dude
>>217187288You can find it boring but nothing he said is wrong.
>>217187103>painfully obvious
>>217187103See >>217187226
>>217187334not an argument, I won
>>217187301I disagree, nothing the OP said was wrong
>>217182762Years is kino
>>217182064based
>>217187408>>217187202
28 Years Later is better
>>217187380Debatable since fast zombies go back to NotLD. Even before when zombies weren't zombies yet. The amount of fast zombies after 28DL didn't skyrocket either. It would be years after. Too much emphasis being put on this movie in the zombie genre. It's good, great even, a staple of the genre imo. It just isn't as important to the genre as people like to think it is.
>>217187547Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake featured running zombies only two years later. You are 100% full of shit, anon.
>>217187442>>217187495Years was irredeemable after zombie baby>Le placenta
>>217187619One movie, fast zombies in the independent scene of zombie movies took off in late 2000s, like 2009 I'd say. Both of those featured fast zombies, neither made it a staple of the genre nor created the concept.
Jewish scientist injecting "monkeys" with "rage"
>>217187620Why?
>>217187547>it’s not actually a zombie movie! They’re infected by a virus that is passed via bites and other wounds Don’t be silly, anon. It’s a zombie movie.
>>217187849By it's most simple definition, far before Romero created the zombie we know (and still after) zombies are *the living dead*. Nothing in 28DL is dead, they are alive, just mindless. It's not zombies. I don't mind putting it into the zombie collection tho, I have it and some other non zombies there (The Crazies, The Plague, REC, etc) but by definition it's really not one.
>>217187960Let’s be real. They’re zombies.
>>217187620I thought the baby was just immune
>>217187960Lots of monsters are living dead, that doesn't make them zombies.
>28 Decades Later>The infected have learned how to drive cars>They like to race the cars>They no longer eat people, they eat >regular food>Everyone not infected is nude>Everyone not infected is trans
>>217188100Agreed, but that's why subgenres exist. Frankenstein is the living dead, but not a zombie. Most Frank movies do not belong in a zombie collection. 28DL is not the living dead, but do belong in a zombie collection. Neither are zombies tho.
The zombie genre was made pointless after Return of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead. It's been the same shit reheated ever since.
>>217188351The point is that your criteria for zombies only looked at a single element: that zombies are the walking dead. Clearly this is insufficient, and so the question becomes where do you draw the line. 28 Days Later zombies look like zombies, behave like zombies, the disease is communicated in the same manner as zombies, the scenarios survivors find themselves in are the same as in most zombie fiction. These all seem more relevant to whether they are zombies than that they aren't corpses, which is an element you can apply to Vampire, Frankenstein, Mummies, Skeletons, etc. May as well be arguing that the only real zombies are those with voodoo involved.
>>217188567Because the single element is what by definition it is. All that flare is added elements that formed over a century. They can be put into or taken out of something, but they aren't what categorizes the definition itself. 28DL is a zombie collection movie, but it's not movie about zombies. There are so many other movies like this, it doesn't detract from them.
>>217188812>Because the single element is what by definition it isIt absolutely is not. Otherwise Frankenstein, Skeletons, and Vampires would all actually be zombies. You've already conceded that Frankenstein is not a zombie. Ergo, there are necessarily other elements that define the genre.
>>217181295>This is the most painfully average and uninteresting zombie movie I’ve ever seenDanny Boyle (the director) said himself that it's not a zombie movie though?
>>217181295You loved when Jim went crazy
>>217188543>The zombie genre was made pointless after Return of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead. It's been the same shit reheated ever since.Bizarre cope. Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake mogged both those movies so hard that it literally revitalised the genre and George Romero's career.
Fast ravenous zombies are gayWe need big numbers of shamblers, bring back the real fear
>>217181295You think it's average because it redefined what average is, kid
>>217183226AND the fact that the white soldiers chained up a Black soldier that wasn't even infected..
>Less than a month of no pussy>The British army resorts to female slavesThis is pretty much the only part of the movie I disliked. Like, these retards have no communications with the rest of the country, how do they know they NEED to start raping to save the human race or whatever.
>>217191033They are infantry. They started rapey.
>>217187620Placentas are based though
>>217181295You have bad taste, sorry.
>>217182064Based
>>217190734i did. dont know why people disliked the ending, jim going full feral was awesome.
>>217191033they were military, they knew they were not getting evacuated. the whole island was quarantined due to an apocalyptic plague that threatened the entire world, they assumed it had never been more over.
>>217182064I have listened to music and thought "this music sounds so fucking generic" and I appreciated that a lot of much music was inspired by it, but I still couldn't enjoy it.
>>217191639If it was that level of quarantine, they would be hunted from the sky.
>>217187620>meanwhile in dawn of the deadhttps://youtu.be/KLcv2qsX4ow?si=xveuPikTJocwrOsP&t=34
>>217191033they didn't need to rap, they wanted to rape
>>217191033I always assumed that part of why you're meant to hate them is that the situation they're in and the amount of time that has elapsed DOESN'T justify their actions, hence why they're antagonists and not just tragic victims of circumstance. What I find more unrealistic is that a highly competent british army unit (or at least presumably competent given they're the only ones that managed to survive) would resort to such cruelty in the first place. If you really want an explanation for their actions that isn't just "men bad and rapey" I'd argue a much better justification could be that the major believed his men needed some form of encouragement / (sexual) relief in order to stop them from going completely nuts and thus maintain the combat effectiveness of the unit. Which as horrific as it is for the women isn't entirely a wrong idea.
>>217191872Their leader was nuts. Some of them were rapey retards and some wernt.
The chainsaw scene in dawn of the dead
>>217191919people (rightfully) meme this whole segment based on the whole "28 days without sex is enough to turn people into deranged rapists" thing, but when you consider how horrific the rage outbreak and the breakdown of society in the uk was (based on how people in the film describe it) it makes perfect sense to me that the soldiers and especially their commanding officer would go nuts.
>>217192057Yes the part where someone described people climbing over each other in train stations with fists full of money that was worth nothing was pretty good at setting the scene.
>>217182064None of this actually makes it a good movie though. It's like the novel Frankenstein raising interesting questions about horror and what it means to be a man, knowing it was the first to broach the subject doesn't mean that it is a good story itself, nor does it mean that it hasn't been surpassed by subsequent attempts to carry the torch.
>>217192201ttps://youtu.be/mxuavn5-Tk0this is that specific scene. for some reason it's stuck with me more than almost any other part of the film
I loved it personally and never had a problem with the camera work, as i think it complemented the tone. Also, it gave us l4d1&2
>>217181295but they're not zombies

>>217182064Thoroughly good movies don't age. There are countless older movies that are not only as good today, but shine especially bright when compared to the slop served now. I am not entirely unsympathetic to the notion of 'you had to be there' type films, I certainly have those. But I wouldn't begrudge anyone watching later for not getting it. They are in their own category separate from the rest.
>>217192391The difference is that Frankenstein is actually good though, but I agree with the spirit of the post.
>>21719585628 days later is great if you aren't enamored by cheap imitators. If you think the imitations are better because they're new then you're still in favor of the lesser imitations.It's okay if you feel that way, just don't act like you're a voice for anything pure.Cosmic brownies taste good but don't taste as good as homemade brownies, objectively. If you wanna die on the hill of a turd tasting just as good as piece of chocolate, die on it. Take pride in it.
>>217192477The only thing that sucks is that 28 Days just does not scale well for viewing on HD displays, it really is meant to be viewed on something like a cheap CRT or presumably a good theatre set up from a distance. >>217192727I'm going to give Bone Temple one last chance to see if the Jimmy's can save the story.
>>217181295I saw this opening night it was edge of your seat stuff maybe not now when we've had so many others inspired by it.
>>217181295The fact that it still looks exactly the way it did when it was shot on a cheap ass camera only makes it scarier to watch today. It looks like a real piece of lost media from a doomed timeline. This is genuinely the last good contagion film ever made. Although I really prefer the ending where he dies in the hospital he woke up in.
>>217191700we see an entire city get insta-napalmed in the sequel as soon as the infection breaks out again so, yeah, i'd say they were hunting infected from the sky
>>217181364The most impressive part about this film is that it managed to keep things interesting without introducing this character and internal struggle subplot until the very end of the film. Every quiet moment feels like an anxiety inducing ambush until the soldiers show up.
>>217197748>Although I really prefer the ending where he dies in the hospital he woke up in.QRD?
>>217197748>It looks like a real piece of lost media from a doomed timelineThat was Boyle's exact intention, and then shooting the ending on 35mm to indicate the passage of time.
>>217197843There's an alt ending where he doesn't make it after getting shot and it just ends after the scene where they try to resuscitate him. I think it's a kino and bittersweet ending. Like he went back to sleep after a nightmare.Too bad the plebbitor test audience got too le sad.
>>217197843Jim gets shot and dies at the hospital, leaving the girls as the only survivors.
