This was a spectacular reimagination of the zombie flick. End of the world movies always amaze me.

The film that re-defined and re-invented the zombie movie for the modern era

the first part of the film is soo much fun. i love being on the journey with them but once they find the military camp it goes downhill from there for me.

The beginning is very entertaining; it creates the right mood and grabbed my attention immediately. However, from a crucial moment onwards it aims for a psycho-thriller bloody opus which could have been much more. Personally, the not-so-subtle essay of mankind could've been ignored while proceeding with the actual 'zombie feast' and its initial thrills. But I think the music fits rather well, though.

The soundtrack accompaniment is brilliant, the pairing of such ethereal, delicate sounds to this image of a de-evolutionized and dehumanized world was so suiting, so endearing and hopeful of man's power to transcend devastation. Two best scenes: the pepsi chug and grocery store foray. Ee hee

Yes yes, the human being is a bloodthirsty creature, zombie or not. What distinguishes the two of them, though, is that the human is still capable of feeling the other side as well. Solid film with some good visuals. I like how it's beautiful in all it's grittiness and melancholy. It's not as gorgeous as I thought it would be, though.

Very original approach to a zombie film. While zombies remain in the background, somewhat an excuse for the plot, the real threat is represented by the humans, the desperate survivors that lack humanity. Definitely worth a watch.

Oh dear, I actually remember liking this more the first time around but then I hadn't just seen 'Day of the Dead', from which Boyle 'borrows' from a little too heavily for my tastes. Some bloody awful plot lines in this and it must be Ecclestone's worst role ever. Then again I don't like 'Trainspotting' and I think 'Slumdog Millionaire' was so average, so I don't think much of his films anyway.

I love it. Sue me. Something about the story touches me anew each time. It's not at all about the zombies -- at least the focus for me -- it's an affirmation of life and its beauty in the FACE of death. Time to live! And the ending, the quick, easy way, sly, Hollywood, generic (nay??) way I love. It's like a great song when C. Murphy says, "just F'in do it!!!" into the fence, segue into YES, SWIRL, BANG, HELL, OK.

This is the horror movie I recommend to everyone I know that doesn't understand the appeal of horror movies (and also to people who do like horror, but don't think about it enough). I would argue that Boyle's best movies are his horror/thriller movies (28 Days, Sunshine and his first, Shallow Grave). They are incredibly thoughtful and surprisingly intellectual.

A really good zombie movie! You end up being really involved with the characters. I like how the movie focus on the lives of those 4 characters, and the situation outside the plot keeps unknown to the audience. Many people don't like that, but I enjoy this because it keeps the focus on the character development. I recommend, if you enjoy a good zombie outbreak!
