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).
