This film follows Jim after he wakes up from a coma in a deserted London Hospital. He meets up with other people and they struggle to survive in a post infected Britain.
There are some really good actors in this film who I did not recognise in the first watching. Christopher Eccleston and Cillian Murphey to name two. The film is good and I would rate
The only disappointing thing for me was the obvious re-hash of a a Terry Nation TV drama in the 1960's called The Survivors. The parallels (including the military base) were very very obvious! :D
I'll yet again concur with Mike, although I'd possibly give it half a star less. With regards to the Survivors, I think they were banking on most people of our generation never having seen it. I certainly haven't, but I suppose every generation revisits certain themes in the arts.
On reflection 28 Days Later is a little bit of a cross between survivors and a zombie horror movie. In survivors there were no infected left. They had all died, it was more a story about how they survived in the long term, not in the first 56 days.
