no need to make this movie

Rating: 6/10 (31 January 2008)

There was no need to make this movie. Or if it was going to be made call it something else. The fact that it exists in the same world as 28 days later takes away from the world. The one intense scene was when the military personal started just shooting everyone. The rest of the movie felt forced and extremely poorly written. After the first movie I kind of a have a soft spot for running zombies, so that helped the entertainment value, but the rest of the movie was just poorly written. The subway scene was scary and the fact that everyone, but the kids died was surprising, but not all the potent in terms of story telling. I liked the fact that there was no cure in the first movie and the introduction of even the slightest bit of hope of a cure was sad to me. The point is that there is no cure for what is human nature. The way the story was pushed forward just did not feel good. It felt unnatural. There was some great direction at point and I loved the look of the women and kids eyes. That was kind of creepy for some reason. The best part of the movie was of course the helicopter tearing all of the zombies apart. That was totally bad-a$$ and probably one of the reasons this got a 6 and not a 5.
