As good as the original, if not better

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2007)

Although this film isn't too similar to "28 Days Later...," it is a quality piece of movie-making. The editing is insanely fast, the gore is in-your-face, and the action is phenomenal, albeit over-the-top. If you are a fan of zombie flicks or relentless action, check this out now. Be prepared for plenty of gross out moments and blood letting.
Also, if you pay close attention and get a little creative, you can find a political subtext to the film, much like the first installment.
Yes, the acting is mediocre. Yes, there are plenty of scenes that are illogical or just downright impossible, but that doesn't really matter when zombies are attacking from all directions and people are being devoured and torn limb from limb. This is a must-see for fans of the genre.
The lack of character development is a valid criticism, but, frankly, any more of that would have bored me. I appreciated the "cutting to the chase," over and over again...
One complaint I had was a couple shoddy CGI shots that were blatantly unrealistic. Other than that, I was thoroughly entertained. Hey, I even thought a little.
7 out of 10
