I'm watching 28 Weeks Later right now and it just now occurred to me that Selena from 28 Days Later is the hawt/dirty santaria bitch in Pirates of the Carribean.
She looks different without all of the blood and valium.
Early thoughts on 28 Weeks Later.
Begbie from Trainspotting manages to play an even douchier character than Begbie. It's unclear if Michael from Lost's character is douchier than Michael, so far.
Thank fucking God that they got the composer from the first movie to work on this. It means something when I actually pay attention to a score.
You can really tell when Danny Boyle directed the second unit shots. I miss him and his deserted, blue filtered city scenes. And Cillian Murphy.
What's with all of the extra gore? That's the only thing I'm unimpressed with along with the overdone love affair with sped up drop frame (I'm at a loss for the actual technique name, I'm sure J will help a brotha out), there really was no need to try to top the gore from the first film. It's schlocky.
Imogen Poots is gorgeous, and saddled with an unfortunate name.
Edity edit now that I've finished the film.
It's a worthy sequel, and I now realize it's pretty unfair for me to try to look at it like the second half of the first movie. The story is interesting even if some of the execution is questionable. It tries really hard to feel like the first movie and it succeeds in some ways, but ultimately lacks the finesse and poetic beauty of the first film. Just the fact that I'm comparing minutia rather than finding shit to really baww about pretty much proves that 28 Weeks Later is a pretty decent fucking film. Hell, it even works as a standalone film.
