I hate the look of 28 days later

The plot and direction are fine, but the first movie epitomizes why I despise digital film, at least the early ones. That movie looks muddy and just terrible. It would have looked better on real film stock, especially the grainy 1970’s stock, if that’s the look the producers were aiming for.

I have to agree, this style of early/mid 00 filmmaking has aged poorly. The flashing images, quick cuts and fast forwards are annoying as hell and only shows poor skill at filming proper action.

1080p HD is 2000k pixels. They used a 250k pixel camera which is for SD video so no wonder it looks bad.
