2.0 out of 5 stars
Same Dvd as released 5 years ago. Not new version.,

This review is from: 28 Days Later : Limited Edition (2 Disc Set) [2002] [DVD] (DVD)
**This is the exact same version of the film that was released years ago. It's a Limited Edition, not a new Director's cut, which the Amazon Ad would imply.**
If you already own the original Dvd release of this excellent film, then don't waste your money on this edition. The movie disc is exactly the same as the one released years ago...5 year old trailers and all. The second disc has some incredibly short behind the scenes stuff and a couple of trailers that add up to roughly 15 minutes or so, a huge disappointment. Overall an absolute con if you were expecting an upgrade from your old 1 Disc Dvd. The producers of this Dvd release should be ashamed of themselves. The fact they didn't even remove the old trailers is a joke. According to the Dvd, Master and Commander is coming to cinemas soon. I would recommend buying the original release, unless you want to pay double the price for the different artwork and a 2nd disc full of pretty much nothing.

28 days later is a good film Naomie Harris shines in it as she does always. Its a pity she wasn't in the follow up 28 weeks later. As the graphic books concentrate on her. The follow up isn't nearly as good but is worth seeing.

I was never a zombie film fan but then the Resident Evil 1-3 Box Set (Resident Evil 1-3 Box Set (Resident Evil / Resident Evil 2 - Apocalypse / Resident Evil 3 - Extinction) [DVD] [2001]) and the Romero "of the dead" films (Romero's Dead Trilogy [DVD]) were recommended to me and they converted me.
Unfortunately this film was sold to me as "the greatest zombie movie ever". I say unfortunately because I'd just watched the Resident Evil and Romero box sets for the second time, and I'm afraid that this film, in my eyes, fails by comparison. Once again the virus which causes the zombies is man-made (like in Resident Evil), but rather than the survivors launching a fightback as in RE these survivors are "normal, ordinary people" and not trained special forces. So this should make me think "I'd do that if I was in the same position", but it doesn't - I frequently thought "I wouldn't have done that" and "why would anyone do that". There aren't any real shock moments ... nothing to make you jump. I'm not sure about saying that these are the most realistic zombies ever - I wouldn't know. All I do know is that this isn't the greatest zombie film I've seen, that glory belongs to a different film (and there are so many to choose from). I received this "Limited Edition" because the original owner had expected the advertised special edition - the extras though there were many were disappointing - short and almost irrelevant - they look like they have been shoved onto the 2nd so that they could package it and sell it again. The giver also told me that there is no difference between this version of the film and any other available - there is no added footage.
