28 Years Later

I saw this last night in an almost empty theater. It was interesting to say the least... really focused on the human element more than the infected. They did drive the story forward appropriately enough. I was really hoping to see what life was like outside the quarantine zone, but not much added there. The last 45 min of the movie was very different. I understand they filmed a sequel at the same time this movie was being filmed. Very interesting setting and character... looking forward to seeing that explored more. 7/10

No spoilers, but the last 2 minutes almost seemed to belong to another movie. I wouldn't say it ruined the movie for me, but it was completely out of left field. I know they'll explore that in the sequel too, but less excited for that. 1/10
 
Went to see it yesterday, it was very quiet in the cinema.
I enjoyed the fact this film did something a bit different to the other two films. I think we got the real shoot 'em up type entry into the 28 franchise with the second film, 28 Weeks Later that very American, guns and gung ho type film. I think 28 Years Later told a more human story and it worked well.

I agree the last few minutes were a huge tonal shift. I think I will have to wait for the next film to really decide whether it works.
 
I love these movies and also saw the film in an almost empty theater. My biggest question is how are there still any infected left in Britain? It's been 30 years of quarantine so there shouldn't be any new people to infect. Realistically I think they all would have died off long ago. But that's a nit-pick with every zombie movie but this one in particular since the infected are trapped on an island.
