Very different movies. I probably enjoyed 28 Weeks Later a bit more though from a pure entertainment perspective.

you got me, I liked 28 days later.

28 days. The scene with the infected preacher still gives me the willies.

 

[FoBoT]

which one had the most explosions and highest body count?

28 Days Later, unquestionably.

28 Weeks pissed me off for various reasons. I cheered when the kid FINALLY got nibbled on, which took way, way too long. I'd have expected the army doctor to tell the kid WHY he's so important that everyone is willing to sacrifice themselves for him, especially after the stunt with the sniper. The father was a tool and the script disgusted me in how it "punished" him for leaving his wife to be eaten. Given the circumstances, there wasn't anything he could do but join her. Lastly was what they did with the father; the rage virus does not turn you into a b-movie slasher and equip you with offscreen teleportation! Oh, and too much shaky cam.

Though the chopper scene in the park was damned cool.

days.

 

[Chiropteran]

I Am Legend

 

[BrownTown]

There really isn't any contest here, days > weeks

 

[warmodder]

I didn't like the characters in 28 weeks later. I also thought the plot was rather weak. The first movie was really good though--it really provided a sense of realism.

 

[compbuilder00]

28 days later .... Cillian Murphy is a great actor.

 

[gorcorps]

I haven't seen 28 days later yet, just weeks

Surprisingly that is not the winner! ATOT, :thumbsup: for picking the better movie and not the most action-packed movie with annoying characters and a crappy plot.

 

[legoman666]

28 weeks later doesnt have shit on 28 days later. 28 days later has atmosphere, 28 weeks later is a mindless action flick that is too dark.

 

[mordantmonkey]

28days later was definitely better.

but 28 weeks later was far better than i expected... man the first 10 minutes... jeebus!
unfortunately it flagged a bit at the end, plus some of the voice over (military comm) and stock shots came off as cheezy. having the original director on 2nd unit helped considerably.

Agreed, the father as a zombie was a really stupid feature of the film. All of the other zombies at least behaved like they were supposed to.

On the bright side, if they make another sequel it will probably be a real zombie movie again. It seems like 28 weeks later was kind of the only way to make a sequel to 28 days later... it could have been a lot better, but it couldn't be a true zombie survival movie and a true sequel at the same time (or at least the first half of the movie would have had to be some sort of new outbreak... in any case, half of the movie would not be survival horror, which is what 28 days later was so good at)

 

[UberNeuman]

28 days later was a mean lean little film, but suffered from a disconnect once they became captives of the Troops and the menace of the infected was lessened...

28 Weeks later was a great action film, but suffered from forced plot points.....

I'd gladly watch both again - both have weak moments, but they don't detract from their overall greatness....

 

[Platypus]

I think 28 Weeks later was one of the worst movies I've ever seen and that's saying a lot. That entire fucking movie would have been over in 15 seconds had the characters used their brains. Absolutely mind-blowingly frustrating and tedious to sit through.

 

[krunchykrome]

Gotta go with the 28 weeks later, although they were both awesome.

 

[Capitalizt]

28 weeks sucked...the "hollywood'ed" it. Took away the campy creepiness of the first and replaced it with big blockbuster special effects...meh

QFT. Though the chopper scene in Planet Terror was more awesomer. But then again Planet Terror was pretty much badass all the way through.
