Absolutely Fantastic

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

After watching 28 days later .I think i should watch this . the first 20 minutes of the movie is great but after that there are many scenes which i found illogical and stupid . there is a genetically immune women who is suppose to be a vaccine and cure for the infected but brutally killed by his Stupid and Coward husband . There is several scenes in that movie which resembles itself with the original 28 days later about humans and human emotions but all the emotions are float away with that stupid code red fire explosion . The explosion is so Stupid not because of the bad script but also because of Stupid CGI.

Unfortunately for me the film having come off the back of 28 Days Later left me wanting more from it. While the few twists in the storyline were good they were able to be seen from a mile away. Robert Carlyle did a brilliant job as the lead actor in this but to see both Rose Byrne and Idris Alba trying to portray an America was the stuff of nightmares. Jeremy Renner's character did a good job of keeping the plot moving along I just felt the film really lacked much of what came from 28 Days Later. The opening scene itself was magnificent and kept me on my toes especially what seemed like I guess we'd now have as a drone following Robert Carlyle's character.

Sequels do have an annoying tendency to take up the ideas from the original film and reheat them for a (presumably) new and younger audience. What makes 28 WEEKS LATER almost as good as the first film (28 DAYS LATER) is that it does not do this. It does take us over the same ground as the first film, only as the title says, six months later. And the viewer sees the passage of time in the changes from the original. The Americans have settled down in Britain and are apparently doing their best to wipe out the plague. The question is: will they succeed?It wouldn't be fair to reveal much more, but I can say that this sequel is way over-the-top in violence compared to the first film; I found this slightly irritating. As if they were simply trying to fill out the story. But that's just my take on it. It is still a terrifying film, violent and bloody (not for weak stomachs), and with the same jerky camera work as the first film, which keeps the audience off balance in addition to scaring the living daylights out of them.I really do wish there were more horror films like this one, willing to think outside the box.

One of the better horror movies I've seen in quite a while. I really liked this, I think I might have even enjoyed it more than the first movie. Haunting and genuinely scary with an excellent story that gets marks for originality, has a superb soundtrack and a wow opening sequence -intense & scary- that really sets the pace for the remainder of the movie.This sequel picks up 28 weeks after the "rage virus" has decimated the city of London, leaving it a ghost town. The virus has been eradicated, the infected have starved and an American led NATO force has moved in to restore order and supervise the repopulation of the quarantined city. For the most part we follow the Harris family, led by Robert Carlyle who is newly reunited with his children when a carrier of the virus enters the safe zone, the military loses control and all hell breaks loose again.It has a gritty look to it with loads of weird camera angles; overhead, close up, shaky and grainy and of course all the shots of the deserted London streets, eerie. Its gory and graphic, about what I'd expect from a zombie movie unlike WWZ which I watched the other night this is a genuine horror flick not an action-thriller/disease movie.The cast surprised me here too with turn ins from Jeremy Renner, Rose Byrne and a small role from Idris Elba. I do like me some Robert Carlyle and he does a fantastic job. I even enjoyed his kids and kids story lines often annoy me. 3/14/16
