This time I'm going to be short. Summary: the human race is near of the extinction by one deadly virus that destroyed almost all the persons in the UK island, It was controlled but then reappear. The virus made all the persons zombies but there was one person a woman that was immune but she was a carrier of the virus and thanks of his husband the virus regain more victims. She had a son that was immune also but maybe the humanity will understand that they could make a vaccine but ...... 28 weeks later ...... 28 weeks later

My scores:

Screenplay: Is good not too fantastic, the main ideas was write perfectly in the screenplay is more the actors made a big effort and the sent us the message.

Visual effects: Good and realistic

Sound: Excellent

28 Days Later would've been fine without a sequel. It was really lame and stupid how the second outbreak of the Rage virus broke out. I was nearly yelling at the movie screen during the breakout period. Plus, the film tries a little too hard to be scary. I mean, it was scary, but there were a lot of parts that were meant to be scary that turned into headaches, such as the ending. I mean, seriously, you're in a tunnel, alone, looking through Night-Vision... when suddenly, BOOM! A ghostly silhouette appears. It wasn't scary... it was just another migraine. Other than these useless details, 28 Weeks Later is worthy of the "28 ___ Later" name and lives up to its predecessor.

This one is defiantly not as good as the first one but still pretty good.What I liked most about this one rather than its predassor was that it was more intense and it really showed that off towards the end.What I didnt liked was that it had no character depth like the first one, pretty bad setup,wasnt scary like the first one, and no originality since the plot seem pretty similar to some other apocalyptic films.Though if you didnt like the first one rather there wasnt enough action or gore for you but you wanted to like it then should enjoy this one.If you enjoyed the first one then you might find this one unsatisfying but if you forget that this is a sequel to that movie then you should find this an alright zombie flick.While i enjoyed the first one more i still found alot to enjoy about this one mainly towards its second half.

I liked it but just not as much as the first one. It lacked some of the personal touches Danny Boyle brought out in the first film. - Even though he was on set to add some personal touches for the second.

The underlying message in this one was a bit more head-on. A lot is being said about the father transferring his guilt into rage and passing that down to his son - pretty blunt. Its a good point though. There were some great opportunities for some beautiful camera work and CGI - and I thought they hit them pretty well. The negative part about that is it gave the film a mainstream feel that was hard to shake.

Definitely worth seeing for any horror/apocalypse fan. For others, its pretty gory but its got a lot more message than you would expect.

One question - was the dad in this some sort of sprinter or what?

I'm a huge fan of the first movie and this one did not let me down. Things seem to be under control near the beginning of the movie but one stupid stunt ruins everything for the people that came back to England. I really like how it ended....could there be another sequel? Who knows? I recommend this movie to any fan of the original.

When i had heard this movie was near my theaters i was so stoked for another master piece. But i was left with broken hopes. This was a well done move for main stream movies. It had no and i stress no damn story line all they do is run and run.
And my biggest issue with this movie.
When there running in night how about switch on a few light because as i was sitting there for 30 minutes of the damn thing i was blind and could not see what the hell happen.
They tried the classic 80s horror feel to it all gore no story line.
If they can not get the original people to do it then they should not touch it at all and let it be!

I saw the first one and I actually liked it contrary to friends hating it. So of course when the second one came out I was siked about it. I even went out and bought it, however I can never seem to finish it. The eye gauging part gets me every time. I can't help it, I'm quizy. I might work up the courage to watch the whole thing one day...but not anytime soon.

  28 Weeks Later is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach. It is brutal and almost exhaustingly terrifying, as any respectable zombie movie should be. It is also bracingly smart, both in its ideas and in its techniques.

  28 Weeks Later has a stronger story line, equally fine performances, greater tension, enough gore to satisfy the most hard-core zombie fan, and a narrative pace that flings us from the opening scenes to the very last image.

  Under Fresnadillo's assured direction, 28 Weeks Later blurs the line between genre entertainment and a photojournalist's shots of the next urban catastrophe.

  I give the slight edge to the first movie because I prefer Boyle's craft to Fresnadillo's, but the action is more intense here, and I greeted the thought of a third film -- virtually assured in the closing shots -- with a little yip of "Yes!" Likely you will, too.
