OK, so some friends decided that it would be a good idea to see 28 weeks later last weekend. i was kind of opposed because i had never seen the first one and i wanted to know what it was about and all that fun stuff. i learned that it is pretty much about how this rage virus takes over Britain. Cool, but I didn't think there would be much more to it than that.
When the movie first got started, and didn't look like they were trying to set up for a horror film. But this was probably one of the best horror films I have ever seen. It contained all the necessary elements to make it not cheesy and not completely over the top. Although the likelihood of London being overrun with crazy diseased people seems a tad bit far fetched, it doesn't take away from the movie at all. Sometimes zombie movies are generally plot less and it is about people running away from the scary zombies. But 28WL has plenty of action, emotion, and a wonderfully written plot to keep you on the edge of your seat.
if you hadn't seen 28DL but you want to see this one, go ahead. you won't have missed anything. The movie was absolutely wonderful and you should definitely go see it right now!
