WOW , welcome 2008

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2008)

28 Days Later is probably my bleak out look on the future. After watching the first movie which was great I thought why not check out this one (after I did not get round to watching American Gangster). I was however pleasantly surprised with the sequel which from the trailer really looked like a badly made version of Resident Evil 2. The story picks up ...28 weeks after the first infection of the Rage virus and with the aid of the US (who for once seemed to do the right thing) but as it happens just when you thought it was safe to enter London again ! the Rage Virus returns with a vengeance! 28 Weeks Later is what a apocalyptic genre should be about , it waste no time to deal with silly little sub-plots . The action was clear and precise , with gore probably this time more than the first film . Robert Carlyle was in pure top form for his role along with all the other cast and crew members especially the 2 youngsters who impressed greatly . My only complaint is that the camera work was a little shoddy from time to time and I felt that things moved a little too quickly in some places as I would love to have seen an expansion on a few things but giving the severity of the situation I was willing to let that go. Nobody can say they are fan of Zombie/apocalyptic movies unless they have seen this movie , It easily overtakes the Resident Evil Genre and in one or two ways I liked it more than Land Of The Dead but remember this is by no means a feel good typical Hollywood movie , but having said it is thrilling and entertaining. I have also just heard that Danny Boyle has announced he wants to do a third one so I am truly looking forward to what happens next , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
28 WEEKS LATER : 8.7 OUT OF 10
IT ALL BEGINS AGAIN !
