Long behind the first one

Rating: 3/10 (26 February 2013)

While the first opus, directed by Danny Boyle, worked somewhat rather well, this pale sequel, riddled with lacks and flaws, is really of no interest.
The script is rather mediocre, linear and unsurprising. It relies on a lot of incoherences and heavy clichés that badly discredit the plot, which besides isn't that interesting. You don't know where this group is running to, but they are running and you understand quickly, after merely 45 minutes, the mess you are getting into.
Even the cinematography, which was the strongest quality of 28 Days Later, is bad, Fresnadillo using and abusing of too frenetic shots.
The only positive aspect is the sceneries of a deserted London that always work.
