Film Summary DCXCVI (28 Days Later)

Do you want to see London's famous landmarks?
Perhaps you want to take a drive through the English Countryside up to Manchester.
Well boy howdy have I got the film for you.
28 Days Later is a glorified tourism video with beautiful sweeping shots and wonderfully clean streets.
Well clean in the sense that there's no people, plenty of rubbish everywhere, but what are you going to do.

There's a bunch of zombies (or infected people) running around in the movie too. But really they're not as important as you think they are.
They only pop up from time to time to keep the adrenaline rolling until the next big encounter.
But really this movie is more obsessed with showing you pretty landmarks and giving you a nice sense of nature.
Half of the camera movements are straight out of an old documentary and you get more absorbed in the world around you than the chaos befalling it.

Or at least that's what 70% of the film is. 

That is until we get deep into the military aspect of it and the whole thing turns into a odd combination of Taxi Driver meets The Predator. 

Where our protagonist man (seen as a confused, lackluster weakling) all of a-sudden becomes ''Kilroy the Madhouse Man'' who somehow was able to take down an entire group of trained soldiers. 

Now the soldiers are a bunch of idiots and he's been pushed to his physical limits but still, it really doesn't connect with other guy starts out. 

And I don't think that's a problem for the movie either. 

It really helps to keep the entertainment going and you essentially get two entirely different movies for the price of one. 

You get a survival story of a fish out of water trying to stay alive in the midst confusing chaotic events and then you get to see the same guy running around killing a bunch of horrible men like he's Branson from the first Death Wish movie.

The plot much like the zombies just keep on moving.
