What was I thinking?

Rating: 4/10 (8 September 2008)

I bought the film out of a bargain bin at a local store paid only 5 bucks and I want my money back! It is definitely not the worst sequel as some have said here and I didn't hate the film and I am just joking about wanting my money back. But was very disappointed (not that 28 days was very good) but I did know what I was getting into from seeing the first film. I felt Juan Carlos Fresnadillo the director kept the movie on track and presented it in tradition to 28 days however I didn't find the movie intelligent.
Really the entire chaos that brings down the safe haven they worked so hard to achieve was brought down by some chick and her brother because she wanted to go home for her favorite pair of shoes???? (well wasn't exactly shoes but you get my point.) If you've seen this movie you have to ask yourself is this the only way the disease "Rage" could have infiltrated them? This was the best the writers could come up with and the director did not throw the script in there faces and shout "Not Intelligent gentlemen re-write it or I quit!" Why not rats or birds causing the epidemic to get in or anything except some stupid ... wow "let's break out of the safety of this beautiful place disobey everyone steal a scooter and go home so I can collect up a pair of shoes a picture or two ... oh hey mom what you doing up here?" What the hell were they thinking? Sorry not a very well done. No not well done at all.
Mom would have taken a sniper round in my movie 200 feet out from the city along with the sister and brother. With a CG on the bullet tracking behind the shot until impact upon there foreheads. Now that's what would have really happen.
What I did like was the directors and writes experimenting with the idea of someone being immune to "Rage" that was interesting how they handled it. But there were just to few redeeming qualities to this film to score it very high IMO.
I really wanted this to be better than 28 days I really wanted them to make it more intelligent than 28 days but to me it fell short of the mark it made me hope there will not be a 28 months later but I think by the looks of the ending we have been set up for the next bad release of 28 months later. This frightens me more than the films do! If you haven't seen this yet and are a fan of the first film it's worth a watch; is it something you'll be watching again and again probably not. So don't buy it if it's over 6 or 7 dollars or you really will be asking yourself. "What was I thinking about?"
