I was talking to one of my professors who loves Zombie movies about 28 weeks later and he told me that he strongly disliked the movie. He didn't like how the movie went in all different directions with the characters, or how the farther got infected by his wife from a kiss. Or how easily he was able to get to his wife and get out of the room where she was held, that was something I didn't think about til he mentioned it. When the army deicdes to fire bomb the city, and everything explodes they show a shot where she's still straped to the exam table and the window's not broken and the door's not open either. How did he get out? He tried to say he would have used his pass but by then he was infected and wouldn't even been thinking about using his pass.
I want to write my own version of "28 DAYS" later that would focus more on the soliders view. In 28 Weeks later there was a small scene that I thought was perfect and would have like for them to expand on it. It's when contamation has broke out and the soliders are ordered to abandon selective targets and shoot all personal on the gorund level.
When "Doyle" played by Jeremy Renner who's becoming the Next Michael Biehn because he's been type casted as a solider in most of the films he's been (Michel Biehn) in even though he has no military experience. Anyway Doyle asks to confirm order when he gets his sights on the "Andy" the kid, he takes the shot only to have an infected step in at the last moment and then he runs away. As Doyle first hesitates to shoot, and then watches the kid run away. We hear another solider call Doyle through the eye peice who's not paying attention and then begins to yell. That's when he finally looks over and see two infected "eating" him, so he takes the shot and kills his friend. That scene was what I was expecting the entire movie to be like.
Here's how my story would go a group of American soldiers who are station in Britian during the orginal Outbreak, are ordered to help British soliders to maintain blockades. When they notice that this situation is far worse then they expected they head back to base where they hear the island has been quarantine. They then decide that they're going to leave, they refill on ammo and head out. The only thing is they never make it off the island, one decides to stay and help the civilians while others get picked off by the infected one by one. The main point would be they're never afraid about getting killed and have total confidence that they're going to get off the island.
