90 Minutes Later

Rating: 6/10 (26 August 2007)

28 Weeks Later is a very dynamic, fast, ferocious and wild movie. And, yes this is true, this one belongs to the kind of films that do not make you think, but, instead, grip and hold you by their tempo and speedy change of events. The sequel to 28 Days Later is also taking place in infected London. The view of the great city, taken by the plague, is breathtaking. All those empty streets, all those neglected parks, all those ruined houses are spellbinding, as well as excellent helicopter shots. Then, there are very, very fast zombies, running all around and looking very frightening. Well, the film is only about 90 minutes long, and this is a rare treat nowadays. What is good, it does not get boring or dull. The fast pace remains throughout and that is a great side. What is bad, somehow, is that method of shooting the scene, when the camera is shaken and stirred all the time, and in some 3 minutes it becomes very inconvenient to watch that blurred sequence of actions. The heroes? Well, the movie is so intense, that they have no time to develop or express themselves at any rate. They either run or chase. The only person you feel sympathy to is that military marksman who gets killed by mistake as he is thought to be one of the infected zombies. His death is so tragic, but his life is so full of heroic deeds that he really evokes sympathy. Watch this film if you want some really intense and condensed action. For some deep and serious pondering, this work is not a good choice.
