Awesome way to see London!
28 Days Later review

London-lovers must see this film. The film starts '28 days later', i.e. 28 days after a deadly virus has largely eradicated the human race. The film's main protagonist, however, is a rare exception - he's been in a coma, and awakes on day 28 - so we find him wandering the deserted streets of London. You've never seen London like this, and you never will (hopefully!). Eerie, very memorable.
The way they did it involved using low-budget cameras and at times the film seems to have an almost student-production feel to it. This doesn't ruin the film but you should be prepared.
As the earlier reviewer has already said tho, once the film leaves London it goes down hill dramatically. But overall this is well worth seeing once and will create at least one dinner-party conversation.
