>>211393031What makes 28 Days so damn good is that it shows the more emotional and more instinctual side of humanity. Whether it be the activist opening the cage because she feels bad for the chimp and disgust for the experimentation, or the cutthroat nature in which Selena fucking hacks that guy to death in Jim's house because he got a cut and was mixing the infected blood and the clean blood, and so on. 28 Weeks' intro nails this almost perfectly. The girl opening the blinds because she misses her boyfriend, which is more of a maternalistic instinct, or Don fighting off the horde with his crowbar, which is paternalstic instinct, Alice trying to find the boy and take her with him, another maternal instinct, or the old elderly grandmother begging her husband to come with but isn't leaving him behind, even as he's getting eaten, which is emotional bondage. It really sells the point of that fight or flight, and how men tend to have a more fighting nature while women care more for their husbands, young children, etc, and how we'd fall so quickly to a virus/infection like that if it could exist (it wouldn't in real life). The best part about the intro to 28 Weeks is that when you look at it from that instinctual level, nobody was really at fault. People in the house let their emotional bondage get to them, and it would absolutely happen if we ever would experience something like that.
The rest of the movie doesn't even acknowledge the foundation that is built around that, and instead trades it for some Americanized action blockbuster schlock, with plot holes bigger than the Grand Canyon. I mean no military personal was guarding Alice when they discovered she was bitten and Don managed to fucking get in there?
