28 minutes later...it goes down hill

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2007)

28 days later (not a typo) stood apart from other horror movies because of its real life survival of the fittest theme. Except where appropriate there isn't any human stupidity like, "Hey guys, I wonder what's behind this door, you know, the one where all the screams are coming from." The first 28 minutes of 28 weeks later are Awesome (I vote them 10 out of 10 easily)! In fact it's worth seeing/renting just for that. The first sequence is strictly survival of the fittest (fastest), hesitate and you die. Charles Darwin would be proud. There's none of that horror film "romance" that we are all tired of seeing.
The rest of the movie involves stupid kids doing stupid things and the whole conflict could have been prevented if one soldier was guarding one door to one very important room. Pretty much like every other movie in this highly clichéd genre. The fact that the writers are not the originals shows; they pretty much produced an inferior copy of the original. However cinematography is great throughout and I absolutely love the sound track.
The ending sets the story up for a third movie, I believe for no other reason than the fact that everything else is coming in trilogies these days and the writers followed suit because that's what all the cool kids are doing.
