I agree with @thesnoopmeistersnoops5167 & @CabezasDePescado, sometimes you need that shocking ending to just jolt you out of your own personal bubble. I remember the shock me and a friend had when watching Seven in the cinema at release. When the film ended I just sat there and honestly just said 'fuck' in total shock, but it was true to the film, as iirc Morgan Freeman's character even says something along the lines that the case won't have a happy ending to Pitt's character. I also recall reading /hearing about Brad Pitt threatened to not promote the film when the studio wanted to change the ending to a happier one. Personally for 28 Days Later I think either ending would have worked well.
One of the saddest things I've ever seen in a film, Selena was correct when she said it was better that they died peacefully but jesus christ imagine being Jim in that moment.
The ending with the Finnish plane was perfect. I am not sure about the sequel as it has well-known stars in it. Back then, only Christopher Eccleston and Brendan Gleeson were known. That made the film even more fresh, in my opinion.
@ tbh I like underwhelming performances. I hate when I can tell they’re acting or the emotion seems too much based on what I know of their characters until that point.
Que yo sepa, acá en mi país si llego a cines el final alternativo, lo pasaban como escena post creditos. (Es más, en el poster de cines te ponían, la primera película con dos finales o algo asi)
Could have worked as well to show him waking up and than dying in a hospital is so all around just coming full circle. Also hits Selena so hard Jim's death. Showing life and caring for one another truly matters.
I love the realism in this. Selena clearly knows minimal medical knowledge, a bit like what you learn from watching a soap opera. This allows the audience believe he will be saved - however it is inaccurate and deceptive, it won't save him.
This could have been the original ending the writer wanted. In the 28 days later graphic novel that follows Selena after the events that occurred at the Worsley House, we find her all alone without Jim and Hannah. She even has dialogue later that, I think, suggests the military had something to do with them being separated, maybe implying their deaths. Plus Jim is now being teased in 28 years later as maybe dead or infected. So we are likely looking at a merked Jim after the events of 28 days.
@ thats true. He definitely survived the bullet then, but that could be the shock news report of the survivors being found, and then something bad happening after salvation
It was confirmed that the zombie that was in the trailer that looked like him isn’t actually him it’s a fashion designer he’s been seen on set as a human thank god
@@RolandoRatas That has been confirmed as false. That shot of the zombie in the trailer is not Cillian Murphy, so we will likely see Jim still alive. It would be pointless to bring him back as a zombie.
@@tiago77907 Cillian Murphy hasn’t been confirmed for 28 years later, but he has been confirmed to return in at least one of the three movies coming out. So either way, we will be seeing Jim again at some point.
I think this ending was a lot better than the more Hollywood ending we got. It fits better with the bleak tone the film has from the start and that shot of them both leaving the hospital as were doors closing was beautiful and way ahead of its time. A metaphor for them leaving Jim and that chapter behind them. The use of Brian Eno’s - An Ending (Ascent) perfectly fit the hopelessness they felt when they both finally accepted Jim was dead. I suspect studio heads pressured Danny Boyle to choose the ending we got because they knew this film was the best ever, grounded, realistic take on the zombie/virus/end of the world genre and they wanted to leave the door open to make a sequel. Funny how the sequel finally came and it was just another mehh Hollywood zombie film. Really hoping the new film is more grounded and believable like the first film.
@@olof_meister yes I agree it wasn’t but the ending always felt way off to me and it was a Hollywood ending. It felt like studio heads pressured Danny Boyle into changing it because it really never fit with the overall tone of the film in my opinion. That’s y I prefer the alternate ending and I reckon that was Danny Boyles original vision. 28 weeks later was definitely just another Hollywood zombie film. 28 days later is a brilliant film even with the ending in not a fan of.
I’m going to miss both Salena and Hannah when the new one comes out next year. The three of them were a good team together. But I’m glad Jim survived and that they didn’t use this ending from the first film.
Not that I minded the happy ending they went for, but I feel like I would not have been mad even if this would have been picked as the original ending. At the end of the day, to story of the outbreak is experienced through many characters, and its ok if some of those characters die at some point. Even if they were a main character.
I personally think they should have still gone to this ending then also go for the theatrical one with the plane rescue scene later on by excluding jim in the scene, hannah and selena were the only characters making out alive at the end Its seems rather fitting for jim's arc even tho how depressing it seems, he can finally be with his parents in peace after saving the 2 people he cared
I''ve never seen this since I watched it lastly like 4 or 5 years ago, thanks a lot. Now I'm thinking well about it I think this ending would be kind of appropiate just for how this begins and how ends: fits perfectly.
In the new 28 Years Later sequel due for release in June 2025, his character comes back as some weird zombie form. Wonder if Selena and the other girl come back now that they are both older. Unless they are both dead in the movie.
This wasn't the cannon ending. It's alternate. So yes ofc he's in 28 yrs later. Technically this never happened. He was alive in the cannon ending. That's why it said "what if ..." In the beginning of the video
I want to know that why movie often have some sence that change at the last momemt. Is this make the film more costly ? I thought cript shoud be finish be for filming ?
Usually before he movies goes out in the theaters it needs to be watched by some people, and they’ll give out feedback. There’s actually 3 endings to this movie. However, this alternate ending didn’t receive quite a good rating. So they had to change it
It would be a bad decision. Not only is there almost no ground to do so (as it's a hospital), but there is also probably loads of infected around too. Infected probably attracted to the hospital by the screaming.

Anyone else binge the 28days and 28weeks movies after the trailer or was just me . Can't wait to see how story ends next year
The story doesn't end next year. It's a trilogy.
Glad they changed ending, the film needed some sort of happy ending.
Somewhat disagree. We're British.
Happy endings are too hollywood
I agree with @thesnoopmeistersnoops5167 & @CabezasDePescado, sometimes you need that shocking ending to just jolt you out of your own personal bubble.

@@CabezasDePescadoReally? Because usually it's the opposite.
@@CabezasDePescado Well I mean, not evey movie needs to be bleak
woke up in a hospital, and died in one.
that's how most of us begin and end
That reminded me of "Born to shit, forced to wipe."😂
We will know how he d!ed in 28 years later
This would have also worked too.
The circle of life
"Jim- With endless love, we left you sleeping. Now we're sleeping with you. Don't wake up."
One of the saddest things I've ever seen in a film, Selena was correct when she said it was better that they died peacefully but jesus christ imagine being Jim in that moment.
@@FeekyChucker 100%. It screwed me right up first time I saw it, and every time thereafter.
The ending with the Finnish plane was perfect. I am not sure about the sequel as it has well-known stars in it. Back then, only Christopher Eccleston and Brendan Gleeson were known. That made the film even more fresh, in my opinion.
I have read the scene with the jet at the end was one of the biggest drains on the budget.
@@Xian1642 I think it was the only scene from the movie filmed in 35 mm
I liked that the actors weren't well known at the time, it was indeed refreshing!
I can see what they were trying to go for with this ending, but the other ending is SO much better.
Mark Flloyd profile photo 💀
@siffegy George W. Floyd (the W stands for white)
At least with this one there's a zero percent chance of Jim becoming a Rager.
@@siffegyGeorge W. Floyd (the W stands for White)
Seems the girl's acting is better here than in the rest of the movie lol.
Really? I was just thinking how she was worse, or atleast in line of the rest of the movie
Hannah’s kinda sucked here
Some actors are a 1 trick pony. Great at the emotional sequences and lack-luster with the normal dialogue
@ tbh I like underwhelming performances. I hate when I can tell they’re acting or the emotion seems too much based on what I know of their characters until that point.
Fun fact: Although was not included in the theatrical showings, this ending was featured in multiple TV airings of the film after the credits.
Que yo sepa, acá en mi país si llego a cines el final alternativo, lo pasaban como escena post creditos. (Es más, en el poster de cines te ponían, la primera película con dos finales o algo asi)
I liked this ending more than the one I saw in the movie - it feels more real, more touching, and it really shows Jim's sacrifice...
I prefer the ending we got instead of this one.
I prefer This alternative ending. Since it was a faulty shot! In the infected world it doesn’t always turn out in your favor.
😂😂😂😂 I like this alternate ending
Could have worked as well to show him waking up and than dying in a hospital is so all around just coming full circle. Also hits Selena so hard Jim's death. Showing life and caring for one another truly matters.
Damn that's grim for Jim.
I love the realism in this. Selena clearly knows minimal medical knowledge, a bit like what you learn from watching a soap opera. This allows the audience believe he will be saved - however it is inaccurate and deceptive, it won't save him.
You know what makes any 28 days later clip worthy of a thumbs up? If it has the horses theme from the original movie.
Brian Eno - Ascent it’s a great piece of music
There were few endings to this movie including the Chicken ending, what if, Jim's last dream and the Scientist/patient one ending.
Wow, this is way more impactful than the original ending. The actors performance here is incredible.
This could have been the original ending the writer wanted. In the 28 days later graphic novel that follows Selena after the events that occurred at the Worsley House, we find her all alone without Jim and Hannah.

So we are likely looking at a merked Jim after the events of 28 days.
they're together in a photograph and they talk about 3 survivors from manchester
@ thats true. He definitely survived the bullet then, but that could be the shock news report of the survivors being found, and then something bad happening after salvation
@ in the comic, a friend of Major West, heard word of the events that transpired and wanted to avenge the major and his squad.
It was confirmed that the zombie that was in the trailer that looked like him isn’t actually him it’s a fashion designer he’s been seen on set as a human thank god
the comics arent going to be considered when making the sequel
this would have really changed my list of faves, thanks for changing the trajectory of this film :)
Jim should've listened to his Parents and not woken up from his coma.
Watching him read that always gets me😢.
No I like the happy ending we got wish we could have gotten the direct continuation to that one 😢
Do we know it was a happy ending? Did the plane circle back?
@ your right but atleast they got away from the army base 😮💨🤢
True ending for selena, leaves the kid, goes to a swamp, dates a man with an Octopus beard just to pretend to love him while thinking about Jim
holy crap i didn't realize that was her!!
Is it just me or does this feel like the real ending and danny boyle just changed it last minute because people hated it
This ending is much more believable. In an apocalypse how are we supposed to believe Jim survives a gunshot wound like that? He shouldn’t.
At least seems that the other ending is canon since jim is going to appear in 28 years
It's not confirmed that he appears yet
@patrickbateman1540 it's not? But a lot of social media says that he will appear
as a zombie
@@RolandoRatas That has been confirmed as false. That shot of the zombie in the trailer is not Cillian Murphy, so we will likely see Jim still alive. It would be pointless to bring him back as a zombie.

28 days later was NOT a Hollywood type of film but 28 weeks later def was
@@olof_meister No, 28 weeks later was more cynical and over all negative with its message.
@@olof_meister yes I agree it wasn’t but the ending always felt way off to me and it was a Hollywood ending.

You say the other ending is Hollywood but you don't think that Jim, a delivery boy, single handedly taking down a group of armed soliders isn't?
Brillant movie.
I had just recently heard about this alternate ending that I didn't know about before. This was my first time seeing it. Not bad, but sad.
28yrs later, confirmed Murphy(Jim) will be in the movie. If this ending was selected, Jim aint no more
Don't worry, my boy Jim looks healthy in the last trailer of 28 Years later
Too good it’s not him, confirmed to be British art dealer and model Angus Neill.
The movie in this movie was so on point added so much
I’m going to miss both Salena and Hannah when the new one comes out next year. The three of them were a good team together. But I’m glad Jim survived and that they didn’t use this ending from the first film.

atleast jims with his parents

Its seems rather fitting for jim's arc even tho how depressing it seems, he can finally be with his parents in peace after saving the 2 people he cared
I'm so happy that they didn't use this ending.
So glad the ending changed. How depressing!
0:49 hospital
I''ve never seen this since I watched it lastly like 4 or 5 years ago, thanks a lot. Now I'm thinking well about it I think this ending would be kind of appropiate just for how this begins and how ends: fits perfectly.
Jesus I forgot about this...I hope this song plays in the next movie too
In the new 28 Years Later sequel due for release in June 2025, his character comes back as some weird zombie form. Wonder if Selena and the other girl come back now that they are both older. Unless they are both dead in the movie.
I glad the final was another
Damn, this one hits hard too.
Now In 28 Years Later
This wasn't the cannon ending. It's alternate. So yes ofc he's in 28 yrs later. Technically this never happened. He was alive in the cannon ending. That's why it said "what if ..." In the beginning of the video
I loved this scenario but the original ending is better.
Imagine what if he fell into another coma and the movie just ends how it started except this time we see him going into a coma
I want to know that why movie often have some sence that change at the last momemt. Is this make the film more costly ? I thought cript shoud be finish be for filming ?
Usually before he movies goes out in the theaters it needs to be watched by some people, and they’ll give out feedback. There’s actually 3 endings to this movie. However, this alternate ending didn’t receive quite a good rating. So they had to change it
So which ending is canon?
The original for sure
Movie ending
The one that's on DVDs nowadays. Also there's graphic novel's that fill in the gaps between 28 Days and Weeks later confirming he's still alive.
The one where hell becomes hello. The first word that Jim uttered in the movie.
Too depressing
theres a 3rd one. they get frank and transfer jims blood, and leave him on the bed infected
Best ending
Its life Jim but not as we know it?
The ending we should of got
The ending we could have gotten
I see 28 days and I hated it. But was with Sandra Bullock
He's not dead tho 😂😂 28 years later on the way
They just left him there like that . Why didnt they bury him ?
It would be a bad decision. Not only is there almost no ground to do so (as it's a hospital), but there is also probably loads of infected around too. Infected probably attracted to the hospital by the screaming.
Not really something you’d want to spend time and calories on given the hostile nature of the locals.
@markj.a351 calories ? Food is everywhere and time ? I think they have nothing better to do anyways
The real ending
Glad they didn't go with this one. The whole movie would just be one long gospel of nihilism, like 28 Weeks Later became anyway..
That was awful
cringe seeing the clowns spamming clips from this film to get clicks and likes. take this thumbs down
main character looked terrible and gay after shaving
for the new movie i think this is the real ending
So thats why he has an undead cameo in 28 years later
That's not Jim.
This isn’t the original ending to the movie
