Part 3/9:

The film opens with a chilling scene of a laboratory where chimpanzees are subjected to experiments. It cleverly establishes the origins of the outbreak before jumping to 28 days later, where we witness a desolate London through the eyes of Jim, our protagonist. The empty streets and abandoned cars evoke a haunting atmosphere that sets it apart from other post-apocalyptic narratives.

Uniqueness of Characters and Dialogue

Credit must be given to the film's writer, Alex Garland, whose sharp dialogue and exposition efficiently convey the narrative and world-building without overwhelming the audience. This high-caliber writing allows characters like Jim, Selena, and Frank to come alive, deeply engaging viewers in their emotional struggles, especially in the wake of horrific events.
