WTF? How is this possible??

We would never see a Dutch or German exclusive in a store in the UK with a big 'GER' or 'HOL' sticker on it!!

watched this for the first time last night thought it was great
but i thought the PQ was horrible for a film not even that old

It was shot that way and meant to look that way

it was shot on digital, one of the few films where owning it on bluray is no better than dvd, it is a very good film until the last 3rd where it does fall apart a bit.

 

[Slinchafi]

Yeah, this movie marks the early days of digital filming. It definitely shows, but it makes it somewhat special at the same time.

 

[lgans316]

Majority of the scenes shot in camcorder.

Some secens were shot on purpurse using a camcorder canon XL1

The director did this for a reason he wanted parts of the film to be low quality to suite the mood of the film scene that was been filmed
And is meant to be like that
He also for the blu-ray release refused any alteration of those secens and insisted it stay as is

This is discussed in the extras about making the film the use of the cameras
That's one of the reasons I always watch extras
You find out a lot about a film and film making process

This.

Sometimes less is better. It's not a PQ issue, it was meant to look like that and when you know that, you sort of appreciate it.

The movie is not meant for HD quality. The Director used Film (?) And kept the movie Gritty.

I would sincerely doubt it the US disc would be any different.
The film was shot on handheld digital cameras, which were only SD at the time. Not HD.

28 Days Later...*(2002)

The decision to film on DV (using Canon XL1 cameras) was both an aesthetic and a logistic choice. Aesthetically, Danny Boyle felt that the harshness of the DV imagery suited the post-apocalyptic urban landscape and the grittiness of the film in general. In the production notes, Boyle says "the general idea was to try and shoot as though we were survivors too." Logistically, producer Andrew Macdonald claims that shooting with standard cameras, especially some exterior scenes, would've been impossible. As MacDonald points out in the production notes, "The police and the local authorities were quite happy to assist us because we could set up scenes so quickly. We could literally be ready to shoot with a six-camera set-up within minutes - something we would not realistically have been able to do if shooting under the restrictions of 35mm which takes a good deal more time to set up a single shot."
