28 Days Later... (non-spoiler review, and then subsequently a lot of spoilers)

Do you think it was bad editing or just execution of the whole movie? I sometime think movies look good but get cut the hell up for time or just using the wrong clip, this is why you see director cuts of a movie and it is better than the big screen.

I'm seeing it tomorrow night.
Remember! If you encounter any zombies, it is best to either run away or "beat 'em, burn 'em, shoot 'em in the head."
Fire will only cook them. And result in a flaming zombie lighting your barricade, isolated farmhouse, living room drapes, etc. on fire.
Perhaps the following graphic with sum things up nicely:

What did I find stupid? Okay, I'll try and keep it as spoiler free as possible...
but be warned ***SPOILERS BELOW***
Okay, first off, as a Nietzchean and Untilitarian, I rather dislike Kant's Ethics. That being said, the writer most definitely is a fan of Kant's ethics, thus starts our first major problem.
I don't want to get too into details, but here's some stupid things I noticed...
1) How come zombies can't find a shoeless, shirtless bicycle courier with no gun, but have no problem tracking down TRAINED MILITARY INFANTRY?!
2) Jim manages to get free and starts cranking that old air raid siren by hand. Now, you, as a TRAINED MILITARY OFFICER think;
a) Hmmm.... we should probably go out in small easily surprised groups to try and kill him...
b) Wait a second... he has no gun, no shoes... hell, no shirt. Plus, Zombies are attracted to sound. So Jim's just ringing a big zombie dinner bell. Best we stay here where its safe and let the roving zombie bands take him out.
[Of course, the writer chose 'a' and not 'b']
3) Infantrymen that have been fighting zombies for weeks now suddenly begin to shiver like little girls at their site, and proceed to drop their weapons and run (ie, when that first zombie breaks through the window when those 2 troopers are guarding the women)
4) Despite the fact that the entire continent is covered in flesh-eating contagious zombies, Jim decides to go into the cheeseburger shop alone..... and then after looking around cries "Hello?!" Okay, didn't we already go over the fact that zombies are attracted to stuff like sound, light, vibrations, etc? Then, low and behold, a zombie goes after him.
5) The zombies move around at night which obviously makes it THE best time to sleep using the aid of Valium. That's right, it's prime time for zombies to come eat you, and you're knocking yourself out with drugs. Wouldn't a better plan be to drive during the night with everyone awake and then sleep in shifts during the day using drugs?
6) It's a world gone mad, you're going on a long trip and need to pick food, what do you take. I'd say, dried fruits, beef jerky, trail mix, nuts, cereals, energy bars, canned protein and energy drinks.... Our interepid heroes choices? Rum and Terry's Choclate Oranges... WOW!
7) The tunnels a bad idea.... why is it a bad idea, because it's SO obviously a bad idea. And then..... it turns out to be a bad idea. People doing stupid things in a movie is bad.... people doing stupid things in a movie knowing full well that it's a stupid thing, with no real reason why, is much worse.
8) Hey, let's keep one of the zombies around to study, see how long it takes them to die of the disease. (so far so good).
But wait, let's leave him with a chain around his neck near this unlocked door leading to our unprotected inner sanctum, yeah! Don't lock the door, or put up bars or anything....
9) Check it out, I have this cool police riot gear I use to fight zombies! But wait, let's not take it on our trip through the zombie infested countryside, no no. Need the room for blankets and useless knick-knacks. As if any of your characters would be dumb enough to leave their half-plate at home in a similar situation...
10) Hey, I'm a chemist.... which somehow means I'm also a pharmacist, so I have tons of drugs with me. Plus, I also happen to know how to properly remove a bullet from the lower abdomen and then stitch and dress the wound, without ANY chance of bleeding from the omentum.... or the iliac arteries.... or the aorta..... etc, etc.
11) Hey, these trained military men were barely managing to survive in this complex and amazingly well defended villa, with mines and trip wires and machine guns. So that obviously means it'll be easy for us 3 civilians, one with a gunshot wound, to survive not only a crash through a reinforced gate, lacking seatbelts in an ancient London cab, but to also survive the mobs of zombies in a tiny farmhouse with no guns or defenses to be seen.
12) Haha, I stabbed the evil military guy with this bayonet! Now, since I have already released a zombie into the house who is nodoubt creating more zombies as I sit here let's....... leave the gun sticking out of this dead guy and go with no weapons at all...
Because now, for some reason, the writer has decided that if you have no weapon and are weaing horribly inadequate clothing, the zombies will ignore you. But if you make the mistake of putting on camo and a flak jacket, it's a zombie magnet...
It just goes on and on. If an adventure I bought had as many plot holes and just plain unbelievable situations, I'd be looking to return it and get my money back...
