[The STE]

I don't fault movies for using familiar synopses unless it's clear that they're doing so directly to cash in on trends. I didn't get that feeling with 28DL. Not only do I not fault it for using the post-apocalyptic motif, I give it points for putting an interesting plot point in in that England was quarantined. And I liked that the disease spread so quickly, so they could avoid characters trying to hide the fact that they'd been infected. And while I didn't really think the acting of the main female was great, Cilian Murphy, Chris Ecclestein, and Brendan Gleeson were very good.

I agree on the ending, it felt tacked on. So I just stop the movie when they hit the gate.


And as basic and familiar as the plot may have been, at least it was coherent
