I think 28 Weeks Later was ok…

May 11th, 2007

I’m not quite sure I liked it - I don’t remember much. I was too distracted by the Lockheed-Martin product placement in the Die Hard trailer that preceded the movie. An F22F-35? Flying through interstate overpasses? Seriously? Thank god this is going to be the last Die Hard movie.

** SPOILER WARNING **

Watching 28 Weeks Later was a little wierd, what with the US Army shooting all the British civilians. The show of force ‘guarding’ the people going into the city was a bit much as well - especially to just let the 2 little kids skip right on through the perimeter. I wonder exactly what kind of statement this movie was trying to make - I’ve not made up my mind if it was just a crappy plot line zombie fest, or if the writer was trying to pull some kind of Micheal Moore ‘FU’ stunt.

But damn, Bruce Willis and an F22F-35! I wonder what Lockheed-Martin paid in product placement for that…

Overall, I think I did like the movie, if for no other reason than the helicopter pilot wrecked house.
