WILL TEEN AND ADULT ZOMBIE FANS ENJOY 28 DAYS LATER’S ZOMBIE GORE?

Aussie boy's thoughts
28 Days Later only seems to demonstrate the typical surprises and basis you’d expect from any scientific zombie apocalypse tale. Although that’s pretty much enough for the zombie fans to enjoy, the film lacks the ability to build on with any other creative themes or ideas. It mainly receives credit for the entire structure’s skill to entertain, shock and anticipate audiences these days, since 2002.
The opening scene, the introduction to the main idea and the development did absolutely fantastic. There’s a slowly eerie sense of dread and it’s very gripping. After around the 30-minute mark is where it also begins the preparation for a heavy horror climax, using awesome action sequences and more story development. It got less fascinating around there, but was too long to reach the exciting climax, which was slightly deficient itself.
The only real stars shape around to be the hero and the heroine, Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris. Alex Garland’s screenwriting also isn’t bad, but isn’t what you’d praise as much as everything else. So only a few fierce elements are able to rescue the boringly-excessive amount of action, adventure and ideas with the lack of strength.
