how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 56 comments (48 from Metacritic, 8 from TMDB reviews) — 19 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 19 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The film's opening sequence is one of the most iconic and powerful in horror movie history. Jim wakes up in a hospital room to find the world he knew has disappeared, and the eerily deserted streets of London make for an unsettling and ominous backdrop.”
Ricardo Oliveira · TMDB reviews ↗
“The first half of the movie is certainly intriguing”

“it breaks down pretty hard in the second part of the movie with the abruptness of the plot change”

“the ending is, in my opinion, the best possible conclusion for this story. i never expected that kind of closure for these characters, and since the movie already had me hooked, it sealed my rating as a perfect film.”

“The opening scene, with Jim wandering a deserted London to eerie music, immediately stands out. It’s iconic, not just for its visual emptiness, but for the helplessness it evokes.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“This is finally the zombie flick as cautionary political tale, and as humanist parable. It's not the flesh-gouging zombie we have to worry about, the filmmakers suggest, but the soul-gouging zombie within.”
David Edelstein, Slate · 90
“A first-rate zombie movie. The best tribute I can offer is that it makes you want to go out directly afterward and down some expensive single-malt scotch.”
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 90
“At once an old-fashioned freakout and an environmental cautionary tale (mess with Mother Nature and she'll mess with you right back), the film combines two genre standbys -- lethal contagion and the undead -- and gives them a wicked, contemporary spin.”
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times · 90
“Rarely has so scary a thriller been so well made, and never has digital video -- by the English cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle -- been put to grittier use.”
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal · 90
“Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland plumb the violence of the mind with slashing wit and shocking gravity. Happy nightmares.”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 88

“_28 Days Later_ was made on a very small budget in the early days of digital cinema, so, yes, in retrospect, it does look a little bit like it was shot on a Nokia 3310, and yes, it is heavily responsible for the bilious deluge of zombie movies we got in its wake, which we are only now finally recovering from - but it's so **good**. _Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._”

“I get why 28 DAYS LATER is considered a horror classic. It revitalized the zombie genre while still delivering a thought-provoking narrative exploring human nature & societal collapse. Its use of digital video allows for an immersive atmosphere & Cillian Murphy's breakthrough performance is truly something to behold. I really, really enjoyed it! Rating: B+”

“<em>'28 Days Later'</em> is ace! As someone who adores <em>'The Walking Dead'</em>, this was always going to be something to enjoy; it does play out like a TWD storyline, hitting every beat that you'd see in that show - only a good thing. How about that cast list, by the way? Cillian Murphy. Naomie Harris. Brendan Gleeson. Christopher Eccleston. All of them play their part, obviously Murphy is the main man but Harris and Gleeson are very good in their respective roles. The direction of Eccles”
