I got this movie because I recently got into Cillian Murphy. I will admit this movie has its high points, and I'm not just talking about the part where Jim (Cillian Murphy) is naked. The plot to this movie is rather sketchy and the ending could have used some work and a little closure. The story starts off will a bunch of animal rights activists breaking into a chimp testing lab. The chimps are infected with "rage" a type of infection that is fast acting and turns humans into blood spewing zombies. (Ugh..) Anyway or should I say 28 days later Jim wakes up in the hospital, he walks around, and there is no one in sight. He makes his way to a church only to be found by the "infected". He runs and is saved by two of the uninfected, Selena (Naomie Harris) and Mark (Noah Huntley). Jim wants to find his parents, they go to his house, his parents are dead, they get attacked, and Selena kills Mark before he becomes infected, blah, blah, blah... Selena and Jim make it back to a city; they meet Frank (Brendan Gleeson) and his daughter Hannah (Megan Burns). All four leave the hideout to go to a military "sanctuary". They make it but Frank becomes infected and is killed. At the army base Jim, Selena, and Hannah find out the little group of military men only want women, they try to kill Jim, he escapes, and slowly the officers are killed off by Jim, Selena, Hannah, and the infected. Our three Heroes survive, go out to the country side, and are presumably rescued. Overall this movie has those make-you-want-to-jump-out-of-your-chair moments but other than that it's so-so. I wouldn't spend more than five bucks on this movie if I were you.Read full review
Danny Boyle has really put out some great movies. Danny is not just known for horror. He also recently did a film called "Sunshine" (a sci-fi thriller) which won an award even. Wow, what's the body count on this one? 100 million, I think. British animal rights activists break into a science laboratory to free chimpanzees being used for medical research. Disregarding the warnings of the local scientist, the activists free the Rage virus subjects, which attack and infect the activists and scientist and later everyone else. A month later, a bicyclist, Jim (Cillian Murphy) awakens from a coma in a deserted hospital. As he leaves the hospital, he discovers London is completely deserted and rife with signs of catastrophe. Jim is chased through the streets by infected people before being rescued by two survivors, Selena (Naomie Harris) and Mark (Noah Huntley), who rush him to their hideout in the London Underground. They reveal that while Jim was comatose, the virus spread uncontrollably among the populace, turning most people into vicious monsters ("the Infected") and resulting in a societal collapse. I'm going to give this a 5/5 for originality and follow through. IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW BY VOTING. THANKS.Read full review
I’m not sure if it was supposed to be scary but I consider it more of a thriller. As that, I thought it was pretty good. There have been similar storylines but I thought this was done well in that this could possibly happen. Some movies are so far fetched that it takes out all the thrill of it, but this isn’t one of those. This was the first time I noticed sexy leading man, Cillian Murphy and I’ve been a big fan since. I thought that he, and the rest of the cast, did a good job.
One of my favorite movies
