Great flick. One of the few good movies to come out of the horror genre in several years. The ending wasn't as strong as it could have been but other than that.......golden all the way.
weren't scared one bit? No offense dude.......but if you are over the age of ten years old and you still get scared by ANY movie you need to seek a psychiatrist.

what cheap thrills? The movie had several original ideas. Character development, aggressive zombiez, social issues. Should we just consider you a slasher fan or what ?

Who thinks they are crappy? They got better every time. Less predictable, more enjoyable. 28 Days Later certainly isn't original, not in all aspects, anyway.
Ok the idea that People are infected/zombified was not an original core plot. But there are many original aspects in the cinematography. How can you guys bash this movie when it totally destroyed most of its competition? You guys are weak

I'm not talkin' core plots. I am talking entire stories. Again, anyone not seen "Dawn of the Dead" & "The Omega Man"?
Robert Neville, a doctor,due to an experimental vaccine, is the only survivor of an apocalyptic war waged with biological weapons. The plague caused by the war has killed everyone else except for a few hundred deformed, nocturnal people calling themselves "The Family". The plague has caused them to become sensitive to light, as well as homicidally psychotic.
Lone survivor, plague takes over the world, infected people who are also homocidally psychotic? This starting to sound familiar?
Just add the totally ****ing preposterous idea that monkeys can get a virus by watching violent images on television, and there you have it.
I think that Danny Boyle was trying to make some statement about violence, and how it's some kind of communicable disease. This isn't the first movie about isolation, the exploitation of human nature in extreme situations, or what have you. It's just a conglomeration that just so happened to work.
I'll give credit where credit is due, and that it was a cool story, which could have made a little more sense had stupid simians not been involved. That said, it's not original. It's not scary.
As for the "cinematography", are we talking about the brilliant use of a handheld camera er..? 😮 Sure, it adds to the authenticity of the movie, but this isn't the first time it's ever been done.
um........in the Omega Man, the mutants aren't psychotic at all........who the hell did you quote that from Cinema? They (much like the last PoTA movie) simply detest technology and those who use it. They blame it for the downfall of the human race. They actually have a very logical and civilized society with a political order.
