The only purpose of the movie is to make money

Rating: 2/10 (28 May 2007)

28 Weeks Later was to 28 Days Later as Aliens was to Alien. 28 Days Later, just like Alien, was original, with an engaging story, and scary. And then ... Lets cash in. Bring in the troops, and the clichés! Bang, bang, and jut have a good old idiot plot. (You know, which plot would immediately ceased to exist if any of the characters would not behave as a total idiot.) People will flock in to watch zombies, and, more importantly, leave their money with us. But, if you liked 28 Days Later, stay away from 28 Weeks Later, it is not your kind. It is not interesting, nor scary, only frustratingly stupid... How could any critic write anything good about this is beyond me. At the same time the movie does not have a cheap look. They did spend time, effort, and money on window dressing. It was the first time I have seen Robert Carlyle (the father) since "The Full Monty". What a disappointment. Was not his fault, there was nothing he could have done for this role. I'll not go to see the inevitable 28 Months Later, nor the likely 28 Years Later.
