GigaShadow does your player also convert pal to ntsc and vice-versa?

If it does then when it is set to region 0 you should be fine.

Good question...  I have a Aiwa DV370 and from what I was reading (from a UK site http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/info/multiregion/full/aiwa370.asp) if you set to 0 it will make it region free.  Note:  My model is the US version of the one shown on the website, but I tried the codes and it changes them - don\'t have any non US disks to check it out at the moment.

I just saw it, GREAT Plotline.

What does this tell you about animal testing???  They are the bane of human existance.

I also thought metaphorically, this movie achieved great measures.  The monsters inside (the sex-crazed army men) were just as bad as the monsters outside (the zombies).

GigaShadow I was looking around on the net, and you may have to make one small solder to get it to do an auto-convert pal to ntsc. I can not find the schematic though.

Pal is the Display, but Pal signals are not compatable with ntsc, and vice-versa. If you are in a pal country you will have not pal problems playing pal movies, but you may ntsc from us, can, japan, etc...

Capcom and I both own the same models and our\'s are "suppose" to convert PAL> NTSC. Cyberhome 402S, is the model.. I guess we\'ll really put it to the test when 28 Day\'s comes in..

Like Capcom said, PAL singals are not compatiable with NTSC TV\'s, unless the DVD player converts it. Some of them do, some of them don\'t. VCDHELP.com should have something on it and if not that place, try nerd-out.com .

I ordered the UK import a while back, but the manager from the online store I ordered from contacted me and informed that the PAL release is due early July, with similar specs, so I\'m still waiting...

Might be some spoilers.  Not sure.



Personally, I thought it could have been better.  You had the same stupid characters you get in all horror movies, the ones that do stupid stupid things that seem to defy all common sense.  That always annoys me.  I really didn\'t find the movie all that scary myself.  Also, the fact that things seemed so hopeless the entire time really didn\'t help me much.  Usually there is an ultimate goal: escape a killer, survive until a certain time, kill someone before they kill you.  In this there was just no hope.  It was survive so you can be killed later rather than sooner.  I didn\'t like that.

Personally, I did like movies like The Ring (and Ringu, although I did not think the American version was bad).  I liked that movie better than this one in fact.  I really don\'t see what makes this movie so much more intelligent other than mainly the fact that there was some sort of medical basis for the virus.  I thought the characters acted stupider as a whole than characters in some other horror movies I have enjoyed, including the Ring.

But of course, this is just one man\'s opinion :p

There is little doubt Ringu is a good movie. The ring I would have to wonder where you are coming from on that one.

"You had the same stupid characters you get in all horror movies, the ones that do stupid stupid things that seem to defy all common sense."  
I felt there was quite a bit of that in the ring.

I myself found 28 days later appealing because there are so few zombie type movies out there. The few they do make fall toward a comedy aspect, or an action type movie instead of horror aka resident evil.

Also spoiler. With the short incubation time of the virus it would make it near impossible to spread elsewhere. I really enjoyed this aspect, and if you thought about during the movie you would realize it is not just a normal rebuild civiliaztion type movie. There would be no one to pilot and land the plane, or boat. Just my opinion though.

Enjoy the movie for what it is. A movie that will make you jump a time a few times. Not many horrors have that anymore.

Just went out and bought a Philips DVD 727 - remote multi region hack and it converts Pal to NTSC - all for 80 dollars at Target.  My copy of 28 days later should be here tomorrow or Wednesday. :)
