The worst sequel since Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

Rating: 5/10 (12 May 2007)

Actually, 28 Weeks Later was an awful attempt at a high budget special effects sequel that had none of the charm and intelligence of 28 Days Later. I cannot believe Danny Boyle and Alex Garland would put their stamp on this movie and even be involved as producers. There was not one single instance of CGI in the first movie and the jet that flies over at the end of the movie was actually more expensive then the whole rest of the movie cost to make, but the studio footed the bill for that. Without that, 28 Days Later, was the perfect example of a great independently made movie that was sold to a major studio who slopped out this sequel for us since they have the rights. In the original every character had a purpose, even the smaller ones, and the movie actually had a meaning. This sequel was just your run of the mill, horror fest, with characters and situations used as plot devices. Thanks for the fire bombing....big explosions, so new and innovative....what will they think of next? Zombies or not, this was a shame of a sequel. Almost akin to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it's two sequels. The ones before the remake, people. What were they thinking? OH YEAH, AND THEY'RE NOT ZOMBIES!!!
