Talk:28 Weeks Later

message: 28 Days Later#Production covers how they made scenes look deserted and desolate.  I think this article needs the same but I don't know any details, especially since the scenes are more grand.  :)  Cburnett (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 00:09, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I've removed the word 'reboot' from the opening sentence: "28 Weeks Later is a 2007 British post-apocalyptic horror film, and reboot sequel to the 2002 film 28 Days Later."
I don't know why this would be considered a reboot; it is set at a different time and features entirely different characters, but it doesn't redefine or retcon any aspect of the basic premise from the previous film, nor does it retell any of the events of that film, since it (obviously) takes place several months later.
Here's the definition from the page Reboot (fiction):
	Reboot, in serial fiction, means a discarding of much or even all previous continuity in the series, to start anew.
Certainly not the case here. Rodeosmurf (talk) 00:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Why is 28 Months Later redirecting to 28 Weeks Later?  By that logic, 28 Weeks Later should be edited to redirect to 28 Days Later.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.211.74.185 (talk) 12:40, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Sorry, but 28 Weeks Later is not a zombie film - there aren't any zombies in it, just people infected with the rage virus, and they aren't the same thing. It's no good to restore the zombie films category with a comment like, "sources state it is", when no such sources have been provided, and the main body of the article doesn't even use the word "zombie." Maybe sources exist that call 28 Days Later a zombie movie, but this is a different article. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 21:09, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: http://movies.nytimes.com/2007/05/11/movies/11late.html Geoff B (talk) 21:13, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  That may qualify as a reliable source per wiki policy, but it's a sloppy piece of journalism nonetheless. There is no point to readding the zombie films category without mentioning in the article that critics have called it a zombie film (which I'm not opposed to, even though the critics have it wrong). So why not do that? Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 21:28, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Why don't you stop pushing your own POV?  Try presenting some reliable sources that say it isn't a zombie film, perhaps.  You asked for a source for it being a zombie film, I gave you one.  Now you move the goalposts, because you didn't check the sources in the article properly?  It's sloppy journalism because you disagree with the author about what genre the film is in. It's not just mainstream journalists, either.  Horror sites, who are better-acquainted with the genre, call 28DL and 28WL zombie films as well, see here.  Geoff B (talk) 21:31, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:   refers to asking one of the actors. Zombies are either vodoo mind controlled people or beings brought back from the dead by any available medium (magic (necromancy), viral etc).  refers it to being a apocalyptic horror. Understand that the virus drove people mad and eventually they died of starvation, hence the clearance of the UK. Zombies eat because of basic instinctive need to, or how ever you feel why, it is not for sustenance. This quite easily could turn into a war over how many URL's we can find that refer to it as zombie or not zombie movie. The original strain came from animals that were being tested in a animal lab, not dead primates being brought back from the dead by a virus. Yes zombies are generally infected, generally by a virus or something similar. But in some cases there are no explanations for their rise from the dead. Offworldnet (talk) 20:34, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Not a misspelling but a British English spelling. Geoff B (talk) 17:11, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

text: "English" is a general term and means English in general. When talking about different spellings, you need to be more precise and distinguish at least between "American English" and "Britsh English". "British Englsh" and "English" are not synonyms. Even Wikipedia itself uses the term British English (not that it's an authority at all): [] --92.224.50.188 (talk) 13:43, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misspelling 

message: The plot synopsis on the main page states that
"Alice is tested and found to be infected with the rage virus, but displaying few symptoms, which categorises her as a rare asymptomatic carrier"
Clicking on the words "asymptomatic carrier" brings you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptomatic_carrier which clearly states "An asymptomatic carrier (healthy carrier or just carrier) is a person or other organism that has contracted an infectious disease, but who displays no symptoms." I have limited knowledge of virology but I believe this is the scientifically correct definition. Asymptomatic means displaying no symptoms which means that although the movie may call her an asymptomatic carrier, this is incorrect (I have not yet watched the movie I wanted to read the Wiki page first).
I will try to edit the article to say
"Alice is tested and found to be infected with the rage virus, but displaying few symptoms, she is categorized as a rare asymptomatic carrier in the film, though is is not the true meaning of the term."
I feel that the film is bastardizing science, which isn't the issue. the issue for me is when that bastardization gets carried over to content that is supposed to be factual. I think that people might just read the plot synopsis and gain a misunderstanding of what an asymptomatic carrier is if they don't visit the "asymptomatic carrier page". Okay I've explained my motives changing it now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.65.18.151 (talk) 20:30, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm confused by your confusion.  She is tested, she carries the virus but has no symptoms (techincallly we should change that line to "no" instead of "few"), exactly like the definition of the term states.  What am I missing? Millahnna (talk) 20:34, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alices Classification as an asymptomatic carrier is incorrect, Wikipedia contradicts itself on this matter.
