I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Less original than the previous film, this is a more typical zombie film, of a besieged area trying to withstand the hordes. It is well enough told, and filmed, but nothing outstanding.

I don't understand why this garbage has a 7.0 rating, do Americans really like this kind of action-gore than makes no sense at all? The plot is so bad and full of holes that it would take a full essay to list everything that's wrong with it.Summarized the whole movie is about stupid people making stupid mistakes and dying. Don't waste your time on this unless you have some kind of zombie fetish and don't care about anything else.2/10

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.
