Anyone been watching? Seems a bit slow so far.

 

Friday's on FX at 10PM for anyone interested - I'm watching and quite like it, albeit it's loosely copying a series of previous story lines:

Part 1 - 28 days later - wakes up in hospital
Part 2 - Dawn of the dead - Trapped in a mall
Part 3 - ?

 

I think it's excellent. It seems to have pretty high production values.
I guess it will be slower than say a movie because it's a tv series and it will take time for the characters to develop, unlike a movie that only lasts a couple of hours.

 

I'll let you know in 50 minutes

 

i think it's really good

should get better next week once he finds his wife and child, just hope she has cleaned herself after going picking mushrooms

 

just seen that bit

 

 

Not sure what you would compare episode 3 too but it was quite good.

 

off to watch episode 8 of "The Event" which is brilliant...

 

28 weeks later the series

The music at the end of the latest episode was a blatant rip off, of the music from 28 weeks later.

 

DCI you forgot the car ? which is in I Am Legend

 

Oddly enough, even with all the blood and guts on screen, I felt that scene was a bit smutty


However, its exactly what I would do if I were in that situation.

Personally, Its a decent watch. I've popped the first few volumes of the graphic novel on my chrimbo list.


Akshully, although its got rabid humans, 28 Days borrows heavily from Day of the triffids.

 

I wonder what is going to happen to the lad in the car ???

 

If you're not getting picked up on your spelling, you get knocked for your obscure film references, and they say this place has changed

 

Do they "stump" a bit when they are walking?

I've been watching it and I like it!

 

I like it, personally thought it peaked a bit early. won't mention it for the people that haven't seen ep 3. Reading the wikipedia link, its looks like a lot of good stuff to come.
Good to see a few English actors in it too. Anyone notice the black guy in ep 1 was also in ******?

 

I like it so far. I think they have borrowed ideas from other zombie films, but unlike a film they are able to explore story lines a bit more (like going back for Merle) and next episode maybe the guns (?).

The black guy was also in Jericho, which was another post apocalyptic series I thought peaked/finished way too early.

 

Would be a very good title for a program about suicide bombers.

 

loving the event even though id heard people didnt like it thought i would still give it a go

 

15 minutes into the first episode I thought I was gonna have an aneurysm I`m glad I persevered though

 

Just watched the first two episodes , love it

 

The third is good

 

just watched the third brilliant.

 

hacksaw

 

It has a very high rating on IMDB. Currently at 9.4
I have to wonder why he used the hacksaw on his hand, and not on the metal bar that the handcuff was attached to. It was only about 1cm thick. It's not as if the zombies could get to him through the chained door.
Perhaps it was done in keeping with the plagerism theme.
So we have 28 days later, Dawn of the dead, and Saw. What other films will be plagerised for the final three episodes I wonder?

 

I was thinking the same , I wonder how he got down too.

 

I will give it another go, I was a bit peeved they totally ripped 28 days later off and didnt make a very good job of it in the first episode.

 

Well, it had a saw in it. I think you may be pushing it a bit far to say it plagiarises the whole Saw franchise

 

Apparently he didn't use the hacksaw, as it hadn't moved from its position. I didn't notice that and assumed he did. Someone at work told me otherwise.
I was more puzzled about how he got off the roof, becuase the door was still chained up.

EDIT: Bloke at work was wrong. Watched the latest episode last night. It was the hacksaw that cut his hand off for sure. All is explained.
