I couldn't sit this on out

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2010)

Like many before me, I've seen and enjoyed 28 Days Later. So i was quite thrilled to see this sequel, 28 Weeks Later. The first 5 minutes I thought we would get to see the same great and realistic kind of movie and 28 days. After those 5 minutes, things start to go down-hill... fast.
To begin with, the biggest disappointment for me was the fact that the story is so flat and predictable, it becomes annoying. Compared to 28 Days, which featured a realistic look on a dytopian state of panic, with people making real decisions, this film features illogical decisions and infected who somehow get a personality. The latter only works in zomcom's and not in this type of reality-horror film.
But even if you somehow manage to look past these points, the plot comes and kicks you when you're down. It is a chain-reaction of illogical and implausible actions, random stunts and the film has absolutely no direction where it wants to go.
Its really hard to review this film without giving away spoilers, because I really, REALLY, want to describe some of the ridiculous events that happen.
Summary: No plot, illogical and stupid actions by the main characters, its basically 1,5 hour of very weird Parkinson's-like shots of blood and limbs, held together by people doing random things that don't make sense.
