28 Weeks Later - Blu-ray Forum

blitz6speed · 05-12-2007, 08:09 AM

Just watched this in the theater and didn't realize it was a Fox movie. Well, i thought the first one was OK, but this one was WAY better and scared the crap out of me big time. Everyone who saw it with me liked it as well, theater was nearly packed for the last showing of the night. Some of the scenes in the movie were just AMAZING and will make this a great demo disc for audio once it hits BD. It was terrifying tho, thats for sure. I hope fox releases both 28 Days later and 28 Weeks later together soon.

I love 28 days later and thought this wasnt a good idea,But I was completely wrong,this film is AMAZING and I like it even better then the first.I cant say that with many films,especially Horror Films.
I also hope they release both films together on Bluray later this year.

I hope both films are released on BR.. I would pick them up with no hesitation!

I liked how they mood was kept by using a lot of the same music from the first one.

Have not seen the movie, but was stoked to learn that a "sequel" to 28days was coming out. Saw the trailer for 28weeks later and thought it looked really good. At least, it looked as tho it had that eerie, apocalyptic, horror feeling.

I will buy it. Along with 28 days.

Loved the first one - with reservations about the ending. I guess I'll have to check it out.

The alternate ending they never filmed would have made the film much better, in my opinion, although I already think it's F'n great! Of the endings they filmed, my favorite was the one where Cillian Murhpy's character dies, and the doors close as the two women walk down the hospital hallway with guns in hand.

I'm gonna go see this today. I don't get scared very often, so this one should be just as good as the first. I'm excited!

There was a group of huge chicano gangsters that entered the theater, yelling, screaming, acting tough. As soon as the movie started, all i heard was screams that sounded like a little girl from their general direction. Its freakin scary lol.

The first was so crappy looking that there is no way it would look remotely good on BD.
It was actually so bad looking that it took away from the movie itself....which was just so-so.

Deciazulado · 05-13-2007, 09:02 PM

Wasn't that the movie made on DV or something? (I haven't seen it)

lupin23rd · 05-13-2007, 09:35 PM

I believe at least some parts of it were filmed with DV, yeah.

I can't see the original looking very good on BD either. I'll be picking up Weeks on BD when it comes out. Movie had some nice scares and I really enjoyed it.

The matinee I saw today had 3 other people in attendance. I'm not expecting a 28 Months Later.

jermwhl · 05-14-2007, 12:26 AM

I didn't really think the movie was that great. Saw it last night, and I wasn't thoroughly impressed. It wasn't bad, but I didn't think it was great either.

kaliraver · 05-14-2007, 12:27 AM

This is a pretty damn good movie. I didn't think it was that scary but I thought it had a decent amount of jumpy scenes. Overall a must but for me on Blu-Ray.
