bland sequel that reverts to an all-too-familiar formula

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2007)

Several months have passed and Britain is thought to be free of the rage infection. A force of NATO soldiers have occupied the area only to discover that the virus has reconstructed, resulting in another horde of infectious zombies. Those who haven't been infected band together so they can (what else?) evacuate to safety. Follow-up to 28 Days Later starts off good but gradually falls apart as it goes along; unlike its predecessor it doesn't have much of a story to tell, doesn't provide a character to care about, and doesn't build any suspense or a genuinely spine-chilling atmosphere, instead relying heavily on gratuitous violence and gore for shock value. Script has its share of scientific gobbledygook, but nothing that really holds your interest or adds significance. **
