28 Days Later....rage filled zombies ripping up the British Isles, a Machete wielding nurse, Mountain Dew fueled motorcycle courier and various other sources of 'Cannon Fodder'.....what a great film.... 28 weeks had some of the core boxes ticked. Zombies, lots of running away and lots of ...'this is all going to go terribly wrong' moments. Now the US army is involved, expect a plethora of friendly fire incidents, good natured adults sacrificing their lives to save a couple of annoying kids and last but by no mean least a fire bomb that levels the entire financial district of London....quality.... Go see the the film...it is not as good as the first...not even close...but not as bad as Land of the Dead.....worth the $11 just to see Robert Carlyle do a Begbie on loads of different people

I went into 28 Weeks expecting a horribly disappointing teenage-slasher-from-a-different-director type of sequel--but I'm amazed to say it held up VERY well to its predecessor. The drama is incredibly real and, in some parts, so hard to watch you have to look away. You really feel for the main characters despite you only have an hour and a half to get to know them. The intro to the film is horrifyingly disturbing--but in a wonderful way. And the semi-surprise ending is very subtle, but perfectly executed in my opinion. The one and only downside to this movie is that 28 Weeks is 50 minutes shorter than its prequel. It would've outdone 28 Days had it been about half an hour - 50 minutes longer. But otherwise, a rollercoaster of a thriller.

This sequel is much better than its prdecessor "28 days" overall but it may lack the intense gore horror fans have become accustomed to. Instead of the typical hurricane of blood, body parts and gore that accompany a zombie/horror film, we get more character development, drama and thrills -- all of which make for, in my opinion, a better movie. This movie still contains enough blood to fill a river for those blood-thirsty fans; you just don't get that chewing of the flesh, crunching of the bones, biting of the neck scenes we've been used to. You know it when 10 zombies converge on a helpless old man that he's a goner, so you got to like director's decision to not waste more than a second on the eventual carnage. The special effects are pretty good and, like I noted, you have a better sense of why this outta-control-virus is happening and what the US special forces are going to do about it. You also do not get the typical heroes, so you don't know who will survive. 90 min of thrill.

Before I can talk about the movie there's one thing that I don't agree with is that nobody seems to understand that this is NOT a zombie movie. Remember that in the begining of the movie the infected started dying of starvation? It was an infection, kind of like a bird flu pandamic would be if it were to happen... knock on wood! Alright!! Enough of this, let me just tell you this movie just rocked in every sense of the word. Man, it was action from start to finish, gore and undriscriminating killing. That's what a real horror movie should be all about and they finally did. Many dramatic and clever scenes, filled with unique camera shots and VERY, very hardcore action. Now if you like all these things, you must check out this movie and if you have the chance, make sure to watch the first movie(28 days later) just to keep it all up to date man. I hope I could help. Enjoy

you will love this film. Edge of your seat horror. Machine gun editing may be the real star. Less satire, more action than the first, but well worth the ride.
