Movie Reviews of 28 Days Later [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Lousy Picture Explained, but What about the Lousy Sound?
Summary: 3 Stars

Most of the other reviews on this Blu-ray release discuss and explain why the picture quality is considerably less than what we expect from high definition. I'll go along with that.

More annoying to me are the constant extremes in the sound track. There are any number of hushed conversations that I can't even hear, so I don't know what they're saying. Then a door will close and it's frighteningly loud, way beyond any half-way realistic sound mixing.

I was obliged to ride the volume control constantly, upping it to try (sometimes in vain) to hear the dialogue, downing it frantically when the sound would suddenly screech off the screen at me. I found this really obnoxious and amateurish in effect. The video may have been originally stylized such that hi def adds nothing to the experience, but there's no excuse for the wild mismatching of the sound effects, music and dialogue.

I like the movie very much though, and I'm looking forward now to watching 28 Weeks Later in Blu-ray, particularly after reading other reviews here that mention how good the sequel looks in hi def. I'm hoping the sound will be better, too.

Summary of 28 Days Later [Blu-ray]

Hailed as the most frightening film since The Exorcist acclaimed Director Danny Boyle's visionary take on zombie horror "isn't just scary it's absolutely terrifying" (Access Hollywood).An infirmary patient awakens from a coma to an empty room in a vacant hospital in a deserted city. A powerful virus which locks victims into a permanent state of murderous rage has transformed the world around him into a seemingly desolate wasteland. Now a handful of survivors must fight to stay alive unaware that the worst is yet to come System Requirements:Running Time: 113 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: HORROR/ZOMBIES Rating: R UPC: 024543468172 Manufacturer No: 2246817

The director/producer team that created Trainspotting turn their dynamic cinematic imaginations to the classic science fiction scenario of the last people on Earth. Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma to find London deserted--until he runs into a mob of crazed plague victims. He gradually finds other still-human survivors (including Naomie Harris), with whom he heads off across the abandoned countryside to find the source of a radio broadcast that promises salvation. 28 Days Later is basically an updated version of The Omega Man and other post-apocalyptic visions; but while the movie may lack originality, it makes up for it in vivid details and creepy paranoid atmosphere. 28 Days Later's portrait of how people behave in extreme circumstances--written by novelist Alex Garland (The Beach)--will haunt you afterward. Also featuring Brendan Gleeson (The General, Gangs of New York) and Christopher Eccleston (Shallow Grave, The Others). --Bret Fetzer
