28 Days Later is one of my favorite 'zombie movie'..
When I first opening the packaging of this BluRay disc, I was wondering just how great would the picture quality be..
But I was full of dissapointment when the film starts.. The picture quality is not much better than the DVD version..
I can notice the digital compression at work.. especially on dark scenes..
Then I remember that this movie was shot on Canon XL-1 MiniDV camera..
No wonder.. :)
And the sound,
The dialogue level is so low so I had to pump up the volume of my AV Receiver (I'm using Onkyo TX-SR 606), but when it comes to the high-tense scenes, the music and sound FX is like blowing up my speaker set.. So I had to decrease the volume..
It only have 5.1 DTS Master Audio for English language, no 5.1 Dolby Digital; so I can't watch with the 'Night Mode' on..
I have argued it for years and it seems that there are still people out there who think this is a zombie when it is clearly not. This film is no were near being a zombie flick as the INFECTED are not dead they are just INFECTED with a virus that was put into monkeys. I don't know why people think of this as a zombie flick but what ever. This is indeed a great film and when it was released one of the scariest films in recent years. I remember seeing this and thinking man this is pretty intense as I was not expecting it. Still I found it to be a wonderful film experience and thought that it was deserving of the praise it was getting, most of the time movies are not.
For those who have yet to see this for some reason it is about a man who wakes up 28 days after a virus has struck the UK and turned most of the population into raging killers. The virus which is called rage I guess makes a person go back to their animalistic instincts and want to survive and kill, nothing else. At first the guy has no idea what is going on until a few infected come his way but luckily for him a few other survivors are there to help out. These survivors are a tough bunch and are just out looking for food and supplies and have no problem leaving our lead behind. As time goes on a people get picked off a father and daughter come into the mix and the film turns into a road movie. They make their way across the country looking for salvation based on a radio signal they picked up.
Writer Alex Garland did a great job with this movie taking a nice end of the world type idea and making it feel very fresh and very real. Director Danny Boyle did a great job converting the script and idea onto the screen. This film while not at least to me jump out of your seat scary it is still a very intense feeling film or at least it was when it came out. Acting wise one of my favorites ever Cillian Murphy is perfect for this film and did a marvelous job. Naomie Harris was excellent as well and did a great job as did Brendan Gleeson and Megan Burns. Every one in this movie did a great job and I can't stress that enough, great movie I think.
I had a lot of fun watching this when it first came out and still it is fun to watch right now, that's just me. Is this a perfect movie, that is up to you but I have a great time watching it. If you have not seen this then I highly recommend it to you, I say buy it and skip a rental. The look and style of this film is great and the road story that is involved in this is my favorite part of the film. The first part of the movie is the end of the world "we have to survive" which is defiantly the horror aspect of the film. Then we get the road flick that is the "we have hope now" part of the film which is the fun part of the film. Then we close it out with the dramatic thriller/suspense part of the movie when the army holds them captive. Could you ask for in a film, I think not.
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1
Theatrical soundtrack: Dolby Digital
Survivors of a virus which turns infected victims into murderous zombie-like creatures struggle to stay alive amidst the chaos.
High-concept horror from TRAINSPOTTING director Danny Boyle and novelist-cum-screenwriter Alex Garland (THE BEACH), produced on a modest budget and filmed with digital video cameras (transferred to 35mm for theatrical exhibition). Cillian Murphy is the hapless hero, compelled to join forces with a motley band of survivors (including Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson and Noah Huntley) who run afoul of an Army encampment run by well-meaning - but deluded - military officer Christopher Eccleston, whose rash behavior unleashes a fresh wave of horror.
Comparisons with the work of George A. Romero are inevitable, though the film's impact is blunted by rapid editing which curtails the violence and renders some of the action scenes incomprehensible in places. However, Boyle uses edgy visuals to keep the audience off-guard at all times, and the narrative builds to a satisfying conclusion. The opening sequence, in which Murphy stumbles through deserted London streets, is truly haunting.
Followed by 28 WEEKS LATER (2007).

"Buenisima Pelicula. Pero no en BluRay"

La vi en el por primera vez en el cine y fue una de las mejores en ese año. La compre en DVD y no decepciona para nada tenerla cada vez que se antoje verla. Pero no le di 4 0 5 estrellas por la versión en BluRay. Viendo las dos versiones en una HDTV me refiero al DVD y BluRay, la diferencia es muy poca o casi nada. Yo tengo como reproductor de DVD y BD a la consola PS3, y mejora mucho la versión en DVD pero esperaba mucho en BD. Mi HDTV es Bravia con 24p y 120Hz. Y con todas las configuraciones que intenté con la pantalla para mejorarla no estuvo al nivel de mis otras películas en BD. Dicho esto, me que quedo con la versión en DVD.

I wish I read the reviews before I bought this, The blu ray quality is worse than most dvd quality movies I've seen. I thought it was an issue with my TV but I tried on 3 different set ups and all looked horrible. Do not buy the blu ray version!!!!
