Wow! The opportunity to rate the two of these is just GRAND! 28 Days Later was a first, but definitely lacked in the budget department. BUT, the issue with 28 Weeks is that it lost it's super-gritty feel when it gained a budget. What a situation, yeah? So, I have to pick 28 Weeks.

Oooo! This is a lucky matchup. Personally, I really like both -- but 28 Days holds a special place in my infected heart. :') I love how it has such an authentic feel to it. Makes it feel like that event could really happen. And I love how we get to know the great cast and the buildup to the climax. That was so memorable. With 28 Weeks, I felt the best part was the intro; one of the most edge-of-your-seat horror movie intros in recent memory. The rest of the movie couldn't quite give me the same feeling, but I still loved it. Damn, I'm rambling. 28 Days Later for me. LOL.

Hmm. Second one was more epic, but was the first one a better film?

Yes. The first one was a much better film.

UGH! They both were great, and you should never compare two of the same awesome movies. ever. 28 Days was epic, and made for a great first movie. With the extreme low budget they had, it still was awesometacular. 28 weeks was equally as good, but in it's own 'realistic'/military lead way. ugh. I guess.. I'd have to choose 28 days, because it was the first.

Days had a better cast and that eerie evacuated London beginning.

28 Days all the way, surprised it's getting so much love for some reason I thought there was this avid group out there that loved Weeks over days.

28 Days redefined and rejuvenated the Genre. 28 Weeks was a fine film, but didn't really add anything new.

I liked 28 Days a lot better. I thought the atmosphere and overall setting were much better. I actually didn't enjoy 28 Weeks that much.

The atmosphere with the empty London and the always present danger was much better in 28 Days.

I have to go with 28 days. First one and better in my opinion. Cillian Murphy :D

Days. Weeks is a bit weak in comparison but is still a good sequel.

28 Days Later. Both are pretty special films.
