28 Days Later
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
).
