    That was the dumbest ****ing scene in the movie worse than, the girl going after the dog in DAWN 2004. I mean seriously how ****ing daft do you have to be to have a walkman or MP3 player blasting music in your ears while you are in non secured boat house in a zombie infested city.

    STUPID STUPID STUPID.

    Granted, it was a gratuitous set up for some spectacular gore but I don't see how you could consider it worse than the girl going after the dog thing, which was just plain bad writing and a substitute for actual character motivation.

    One was in the name of fun, the other in desperation.

    I believe 28 Months could've been the best survival horror movie of all time. But it wasn't. Great start. Riveting. Good suspense. Good characters. But it really missed the boat when the dad somehow was left alone with the wife then somehow got all the way out of the protected area then somehow infected the rest. They had sooooooo many better ways to spread the infection out. That movie was perhaps the worst missed opportunity in filmmaking in the past 10 years.

    I can understand the chick going after the dog in Dawn '04. Emotional and stupid, yes. Agree with it, no. Shoulda let her die, yes.

    Mouse being left on the docks with headphones on is not entirely stupid.

    No, hear me out on this. You gotta look at the way the Land characters acted. These people no longer consider the zombies a threat in their area. They were so used to not having zombies around that they took these kinds of chances as part of daily life.

    Just look at the "screaming practice" guards. These guys were outside the closed fences. On the wrong side of the river. In the dark. Making noise. Shooting targets for bets. It's obvious that these guys were used to never seeing a zombie. How long would you have to go without seeing a zombie to be that lax and comfortable outside the protected area?

    Given that, why would Mouse expect to see a zombie? Why would he be concerned at all? Compared to those guards Mouse was downright cautious.

    As i stated earlier atleast the chick going after the dog had a purpose. It was the catalyst for everything that followed in the movie. She goes after the dog, they go rescue her, in trying to get back to the mall they had zombies hot on their asses so they had to make a quick escape which set up the final minutes of the movie. The dude at the dock had no purpose other than to get torn apart and provide a gory scene.

    It's been a while since I've seen Land, but I thought his scene sets the audience up to realize that Big Daddy and his crew had reached the river?

    Yes that's true but i think there could have been a better way to do it. Also, i was making the point that the daft girl going after the dog had the purpose of setting up the climax of the film and wasn't just there to annoy us.

    I'll be the first to admit that was the dumbest thing ever but hey i guess that's what the writers wanted to do.

    Once again the arrow misses it's target... lol

    I believe that Neil was refering to the fact that the person who posted that was refering to the last third of the film and not a third film in the series.

    I liked 28 Months Later alot. Much better than most new zombiefilms out there. The opening was awesome, but I liked the rest of the movie too. Could have done with a bit more pain and suffering, because it was set up for alot of it. But hey, can't have everything.

    I found the last third of 'Months' got a bit too silly for me...

    - Seemingly infected people being completely unguarded/monitored.
    - Members of the public being put into 'safe holds' that are totally unsafe.
    - Infect individuals (their dad) becoming psychic - ie: Knowing where/when to turn up in London.
    - The helicopter... Hmmm...
