Let me just say the film's are great, well the first is, the second is a it lackluster but you can go elsewhere for reviews of the film.
The quality of the Blu-Ray is terrible, the first film honestly looks like a VHS and worse than my DVD. The second film, 28 Weeks Later looks acceptable, but still not great.
If you're looking for a film that oozes Blu-Ray quality this simply isn't one of them. Maybe that's why the double pack is so cheap, the first film does not deserve to be on a Blu-Ray disc, it's VHS level quality.

As I state in the title, if you buy the Bluray version you are getting ripped off.
Almost all of the film was shot on a DV camera with a resolution of 720x576, this is the resolution of a DVD.
For the Bluray they have just taken that original footage and scaled it up to 1920x1080, this is in contrast to most films where the footage is scanned at 2 or 4k (either the same as bluray or higher).
The only advantage you will get is the audio and that will be minimal. Danny Boyle made a huge mistake using such a cheap camera for this picture, it doesn't add a mood to it, it just looks like a cheap pirated DVD.

This is a 2 film package, with the original film, and the sequel. The films themselves are worth watching but the blu-ray transfer is quite appalling. I'd recommend buying the first film on DVD. The second film I'd wait until it comes out on TV.

Not worth getting on Blu Ray
First off the films are OK but not worth getting on Blu Ray - 28 days later was shot on hand held camcorders for atmosphere, which works, but means there is no benefit to watching... Read more

Its impossible for the quality to be better than it is, which is infact ever so slightly better than dvd (due to the resolution of the cheap camera)

Bluray Quality not bad, 28 days later filmed in DVCam
28 Days later was filmed on DVCam which has a SD resolution of 720x576, directors choice i think. So its no wonder the "feeled" resolution is NOT Full HD (1920x1080). Read more

This should be rated VHS & not Bluray!
As previously stated, the video quality of 28 days later is unbelievably bad! It looks like a very bad rip from a DVD. This spoils an otherwise very good film. Read more
