![]() ![]() If you pay attention the film effects start out hazy and dream like, and waver from sharp focus and back to a dream like state for the first half of the movie as the main character tries to deal with the new world he has been thrust into. This is why everything looks out of focus, and highlights are glowing. The main character wakes up completely confused, with no idea what's going on, he thinks he is dreaming. This looks exactly like it did in the theaters, it looks just like the director intended. ![]() This is not a conversion from DVD to Blu-ray problem, it is not a quality control problem. There are MANY people complaining about the video quality of 28 Days Later. I don't post many reviews on here, and I am always suspect of tons of temporal consecutive glowing 5-star reviews (as it seems this combo does have), so know this people: I am a verified person who purchased this product, and I love this franchise enough to take 15-20 minutes of my day to explain to everyone what an incredible rip-off/POS this product is. I just get so disappointed when some a-hole exec of a backwater distribution company acquires selling rights, outsources the project to china or wherever, and we the customer watch our beloved series get dragged through the mud. ![]() Buy the individual copies on Blu-Ray (if they exist) and maybe the product will be better. I really regret purchasing this combo, and I hope that others will heed my warning. I only buy Blu-Rays for movies that I want to watch at my in-laws house, since we do not have a good setup at home (talking Dark Knight, Sunshine, Prometheus, Pacific Rim, District 9, to name a few) so everything we watch is fine on dvd. But I think the reality is, at least for the 28 Weeks disc, that this release is simply an upscaled dvd copy ported over to Blu-Ray format, and then sold as a double package to keep the franchise making some money. Yes I understand that video technology has gotten better. I could maybe see this being the case for 28 Days, but 28 Weeks was a smoothly polished, flowing work of art, and I clearly remember not thinking when I saw it in the theaters on release that "Hey, that persons face looks like a bunch of pixels". I have read some other peoples reviews, and they state that the movies were made to look grainy. Last night, I went to watch 28 Weeks on my in-laws premo system (typically I just watch at home on my laptop with my dvd copy) and I was Shocked I repeat SHOCKED to see how incredibly terrible the video quality was. ![]() Two separate but amazing productions, and I want nothing more than to see a sequel released, preferably with Danny Boyle or maybe someone like Bloomkamp at the helm. I can watch 28 Weeks Later monthly, and it never gets old. And by love, I mean they are both in my top 5-10 movies of all time. First thing: I love both of these movies. ![]()
