Be Prepared to Suspend Disbelief

Rating: 5/10 (13 May 2007)

The first half of 28 Days Later was excellent, the second half was like an old Dr Who episode.
I had read some good reviews of 28 Weeks Later but I was sadly disappointed.
Technically its a good film. The initial scenes were certainly credible. The Isle of Dogs is turned in to a British version of the Green Zone and London makes a great backdrop.
Overall, better than Children of Men but not as good as Land of the Dead. I just could not see through the flaws in the plot.
***SPOILERS***
The movie hypes up the security of Sector One but the kids are able to walk out.
The containment area for civilians is in the basement which is where the zombies are. The area is not guarded and someone forgets to lock the back door.
A US army sergeant deserts his post and is willing to shoot his colleagues to save complete strangers.
Robert Carlyle bumps in to his kids in a dark tube station. He can't have followed them. Come on!
Finally if there are so few people left alive where do all the zombies come from? Sorry Danny and co but I won't be rushing to see 28 months later.
