Corrected entry: When Jim shoots infected Mailer's chain to free him Mailer stands there a bit just staring at him. Wouldn't a infected who's in blind rage try to attack Jim as soon as he notices him and only stop when he realizes he can't get past the wall? He should at least instantly storm the mansion he was trying to get into for days already. I don't think he didn't attack Jim to be grateful for releasing him.

Corrected entry: Why are all the fruits and vegetables at the supermarket still fresh? you would assume that after 28 days there they'd start to look a little on the rotten side.
Correction: A lot of them are going rotten, they show several rotten fruits and vegetables and only some green apples are still good. Frank says "ah, irradiated" just before he picks up a tray of apples.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Jim and the others stop at a supermarket there is a gross error. The sets feature no electricity, in the city and country, other than generator or battery power. At the supermarket outside of London, whereas the music may be at the market or on the soundtrack, the fluorescent lighting is a rather obvious blunder. (00:48:25)
Correction: Not necessarily. A power plant could run by itself for a week or two unattended (particularly if it is hydroelectric). Many grocery stores have a backup generator as well, which could kick in when the power fails (and be on a timer so it only runs at certain hours, prolonging duration). It is possible (though only just) that the power would still be on there.
Correction: The director admitted to this being a blooper.

Correction: There's no proof that the infected don't think. In every scene that they attack, it's a straight run from them to their victim, so they don't have to plan. Indeed, they must maintain some reasoning ability or they would just beat on a locked door and never leave until another victim appeared. Mailer is trying to figure out if he can get Jim.
