Yes. Some people are enthusing about it, some are less keen on it. What is interesting is that this is very much the first part of a trilogy of new '28' films, the second has already been filmed and will come out next year.
Might wait for the DVD.

I’ve enjoyed the earlier 28 series. Won’t pay at the theatre to see it, but when it’s on prime or wherever it shows up, I’m game.

Liked the earlier films. Can't say this one interests me.

I liked the first one, went into that one almost cold, so full of surprises.

Second not so much.

Looking forward to this (Alex Garland and Danny Boyle, what not to like)

I missed 28 Weeks Later, so will have to go back and watch it. I enjoyed 28 Days Later.

I like a good zombie film, but I thought the zombies were all staving at the end of 28 weeks later?

Just saw this. It is not what many folks would think of as a zombie film. There are zombies, there is running and sudden death, but the movie is more existential and about what survival means. It pairs well with 40 Acres, a recent Canadian film.

Enjoyed the film, its gone down the Omega Man / I am Legend route. It'll be interesting to see how the next 2 films pan out the storyline
I should make more time for the things I love to do

It was almost like two films by different directors- a coming of age film with literally odd bits of other films (including Henry V) and a quest story.

I am looking forward to the next one.

Saw it the other week and quite liked it. Some genuine artistic merit in the cinematography and good acting and plot. Enjoyed the cameo from the Swedish sailor.

The use of the Kipling poem (apparently the recording comes from 1915) and the Henry V footage to harken back to an England that may never really have existed (other than in the mind) is particularly effective.

Spoiler below (sort of)











Genuine question: If you're a kid who is saved from a pack of rage zombies by a gang of Jimmy Saville look alikes - has your situation improved?
