I just got back from
"28 Weeks Later," which I highly recommend. (Peter Watts, damn him, has already nailed the salient points
here.) "Weeks" is slightly more "Hollywood" than its prequel, but that's not entirely bad; there are some genuinely affecting apocalyptic scenes that had me standing on the seat cushion pumping my fist in the air in approval.

ReplyDeleteApproval of the apocalyptic?
Why does that make me feel...perturbed?
I'm with perturbed. Saw the movie this weekend and didn't like it. Like Hostel, Saw, and so on are torture porn, this movie is apocalypse porn, gets people off by making them feel bad. Doesn't seem so positive to me.
ReplyDeleteRight on Mac!
ReplyDeleteApocalyptic imagery and marauding zombies!
The next one in the series should be "28 Months Later" in which homicidal mindless zombies take over the White House.
Nah, that could never happen....that's just crazy to even think such a thing...
Approval of the apocalyptic?
ReplyDeleteIt was skillfully done and I liked how it was handled. What's perturbing with that? I recommend taking in the new "Shrek" and getting off my back.
Nick--
Better yet, "28 YEARS Later"!
