28 weeks later..

28 days later was amazing, 28 weeks later was just entertaining.

The guy that directed 28 days and the lead male in it just made a movie, Sunshine, that was pretty damn good too.
 

are you hitting on me? :ill:

The beginning of 28 weeks later ruled, the movie went downhill FAST after that.
The plot holes and lapses in logic were large enough to drive an aircraft carrier through.


But overall it was a " decent " movie, not amazing or spectacular, just decent.
 
I thought it was very well executed. Alot of the direction is pretty awesome, seemless and pretty hard hitting. It's a very different beast from Days, and void of the Boyle special touch (except for some 2nd unit direction, I believe) but I really enjoyed it.

I'm firmly against the "1st is better" theory that has been rooted in the Western psyche since Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. I thought technically each film was as good as the other, but I certainly enjoyed weeks more.

First is only better when the second/third, &c. are rush jobs. In theory, a novelist, director, or what have you would be trying to surpass himself through each cycle. The key factors here are greed and deadlines.
 
Not necessarily. People have a thing for enjoying the 1st of anything, despite the sequels perhaps having more merit.

I'm talking about the cases where the sequels are genuinely worse. Though, critics and fans often do think it's their sacred duty to be jaded.

Do you speak this way all the time, or only when you're trying to impress us with your prowess of ancient cultures? :goggly:
