I enjoyed it, pretty decent addition to the genre.

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2007)

Remember, this review does contain some spoilers, of course I am writing this well after the movie has left theaters ...
I enjoyed this movie more than I enjoyed the first one, of course I simply prefer more broad based action over character specific drama. 28 weeks later certainly had some unbelievable situations, I mean wouldn't the military put at least one actual guard at the door to the room holding an infected survivor? I know the guy had access to every room in the place but seriously, he has access to the main military medical lab too? I don't think so.
I also thought it was far too unbelievable that the quarantined holding pen for civilians just so happened to be easily accessible for the infected Father.
Putting those two flaws aside, I really enjoyed the action and fast pace of the movie. I also enjoyed the fact that the movie was not so set on keeping specific characters alive. Our heroes and heroines were bludgeoned to death just like anyone else. None of that amazing escape artist nonsense you would expect in your avg. film.
I have to say, as an American I greatly appreciate non-Hollywood movies. Were this an American made film I am sure that Bruce Willis would have taken out a few thousand infected before heroically tossing the carrier boy into a helicopter flown by Meg Gibson all the while Arnold would have been standing on a hill top, mini gun in hand yelling "GET TO THE CHOPPER!" And of course, the boy would have provided a mass cure as opposed to the infection of mainland Europe ... and somehow, the Father would have been cured.
