28 Weeks Later

Yeah, that scene was like wow when you seen it was daytime outside! The infected woman with the red eyes who pops up scared the crap outta me, I hated that part!
 
I went to see it again last night, and I didn't realise how funny it was the first time, but damn! This is hilarious! I nearly ran out of breath at the bit with the helicopter and he cuts them all up xD
 
Bits of it were too americanized, and if there's another sequal then it'll most likely lose everything that made 28 Days a Brit film =\.
I was just wondering before though, what the theme song is for it? I mean the one that's played pretty much everytime someone dies?
 
I dont know, is it the one when Jims running round the mansion in the first 1? If so, thats the tune Im after also! Its brilliant!
 
I can't remember much of the first one, but it's the tune that plays when Don is running from the cottage at the start of the new one. It's also on when the infection first breaks out in the new one, and the snipers are killing everyone.
 
Yeah, think its the same tune. Its dreay and depressing. At first I thought it was Muse, seriously. It sounded like a Muse acoustic piece. Im going to try and get the OST purely for that.
 
Spoilers, guys.

Alright, I just finished watching the movie a few minutes ago, but the ending kinda threw me off. Can someone explain
why there were infections in Paris? I know the dad bit the little boy, but it didn't seem to have affected the kid. =/ And then we see the helicopter that they rode on...no sign of the three survivors there, evidently giving me the assumption that the kid eventually became "one of them." So er, why was it that he didn't become "one of them" firsthand when he was in contact with his father?
 
Probably because the mother had that antibody and it had been passed down to the boy. As natural defenses work, the primary response isn't very effective, but the secondary response to a virus is much more effective. This would suggest that the mother had been exposed to SOME form of the virus, but not enough to actually infect her. As a result, that defense was passed on to the child, but that was his first time in contact with the disease [when he was bitten underground] and the mother managed to stay herself because it was her second encounter.

The boy and girl are in the helicopter in the end with the soldier. We are left to presume that the virus overcame his natural defenses and fully infected him. As such, you can practically determine that he bit the girl, who bit the soldier, who got off the plane and bit a Frenchie, who ran away and bit his girlfriend; hence why they were all running on that big platform towards the Eiffel Tower.

On a side note, I've BEEN on that big platform [: It's a steep hill. Miss France was elected there last December and we [my french class] saw her coming out of the doors xD
 
Alright that makes sense. Thanks. xD I just find it odd that the sister didn't have the same defense as her brother. I mean, they ARE family...

Anyway, I thought this movie was better than the first. The scene where the husband left his wife to fend for herself really tugged at my heart. =( That was messed up. I asked my husband, "Would you do the same if we were in the same situation?" Lol, of course he replied with, "No, of course not. 'Till death do us part, remember?"

I believe him. =)

That guy right there? He's a sap, but he's a keeper ;)


As for the daughter not having the defense ... well, it's like saying why did one have brown hair and the other have blonde hair? I don't remember their hair colours exactly, but I'm on about how genes differ from everyone, even your own sister xD
I'd explain better but it's half one in the morning.
 
I was going to buy this last week but was advised against it. I will eventually buy it as I loved 28 days later.
 
The whole thing about how it got to France; the boy had the same immunity his mother had due to them having mixed iris colours (one blue, one brown). That isn't explained, only implied. His mother was a carrier of the virus, but was not technically infected, meaning she could pass it on but not be controlled by it. That's how she infected Don; when they kissed, the infection was transmitted through her saliva. I'm guessing something similar happened to the boy. He kissed someone, or they came into contact with his blood, and it all escalated from there.
 
Watched this for the first time last night, thought it was a brilliant film and Robert carlyle was great :). There are a number of ways the virus could have gotten to France..the boy couldn't have been the only one left with the virus..i doubt it anyway.
