Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2016)

Compared to the 2002 movie "28 Days Later", then the 2007 sequel "28 Weeks Later" is actually a notch better. Which in itself is a good achievement for a sequel.
And in my opinion it is the storyline told in "28 Weeks Later" which just nudges the sequel ahead of the first movie. It is every bit as fast paced and action packed, but the difference is that "28 Weeks Later" have a more detailed character gallery in it, which adds a whole deeper level to the movie.
Similar to the storyline as in "28 Days Later", the story told in "28 Weeks Later" is set in Britain after having suffered through a debilitating outbreak of a deadly rage. With the American army coming to the rescue (medling as always, eh?) things seem to might be brightening up. However, things have a nasty way of not turning out as intended and all Hell breaks loose.
The characters in "28 Weeks Later" are more detailed and given much more personalities and background compared to the character gallery in the predecessor movie. And the talents cast for the various roles and characters in "28 Weeks Later" also really added to the end result of the movie. They had some pretty good talents on the cast list, and I was especially impressed with Robert Carlyle.
The storyline is helped along quite nicely at the hand of director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who skillfully carried on the torch from the 2002 predecessor movie. And the effects in "28 Weeks Later" were as good as they were in the first movie, a thing that is essential in zombie / outbreak movies.
If you enjoyed "28 Days Later", then you definitely have to, without a doubt, sit down and watch the sequel "28 Weeks Later", because it is every bit as thrilling, captivating and manages to actually be a notch better. This is, by all means, a worthy addition to the collection of any zombie aficionado.
