28 Days Later also used one of the first digital-only production cameras Sony put out at the time. It’s something the director does and it’s kinda neat. This is why there’s no real high quality versions of 28 Days, but it’s also kinda why it has more charm.

I tried to watch it again recently and it looks like absolute trash. I appreciate directors being experimental but at least with old analog formats they scale pretty well with modern resolutions.

Put some respect on the name: Danny freakin’ Boyle.

I read the article, and I understand their reasoning. But I hate movies that to that shaky camera effect. I don't want be there or feel I watching it from someone phone or hand camcorder. Sucks was looking forward to seeing this. But don't see it worth wasting my money and time in a theater to do so. Glad for article to warn me of the quality I am going get.

Did the article say it was shaky? Even if they didn't use the iPhone image stabilization, surely they could adjust it in post-production so it looks good.
