Okay without being excellent.

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2011)

This film is worth watching if you have already watched 28 Days Later. Somehow it does not deliver the terror and emptiness which was supplied in the previous film. If Danny Boyle had directed this, it would have been excellent. He is a genius when it comes to the delivery of horror. The thing that I hated about 28 Weeks Later was the gore. I love seeing movies, but I hate seeing gory movies. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo tries to imitate the intense and brilliant action of 28 Days Later, but doesn't quite make the mark. He tries to make it better by crashing a helicopter into a group of Infected, and that is a very gory scene. As well as when Don is Infected and he squishes his wife's eyes with his thumbs! Ew!
I think this film has some good actors, Rose Byrne, Robert Carlyle. This movie did not feature the fear and terror of the virus, and yet again fails to inform us of how the virus is actually created in the first place? I think the audience deserves to know. If there is a 28 Months Later, I hope to god that it is directed by Danny Boyle. This movie is quite worth watching but 28 Days Later is much better.
Overall, if you've watched 28 Days Later, you may as well watch this. It's kind of stupid how they fail to show Jim and Selena, even though they were what made the series great. I suppose it's okay without being excellent. Most of the film is pretty boring.
