Has Thrill but No Sense!

Rating: 2/10 (23 July 2007)

My expectations for this movie were really high! Because I really enjoyed the first movie, there was no doubt in my mind that I should see the sequel. Alas, this movie had many disappointments, many of which made no sense at all. That may seem a bit harsh, but there is no question about it, this movie was trash.
The first thing that I thought was wrong with the movie was that it was totally anti-American, but that is not why I think it doesn't make sense. There reason why I do think it does not make sense is when the people start getting infected by the rage virus again.
After "weeks" of neutralization of London, all of the infected were left to die(most likely starvation). Once this quarantined area of Britain was "safe" people were led into what is to be called District 1; a fully-functional, infection free section of Britain. All hell breaks out when the two kids sneak out of District 1 and go back to their home to collect a picture but also to find their very much alive mother. After a little confrontation, the movie moves to District 1 again and we see the mother strapped, clearly infected. Now this is the part which makes no sense to me. Why would she not be under any surveillance when her husband goes to see her if she is supposedly the only one infected in the entire district? Anyone with common sense would think that no one would be allowed to come in 10 feet of her, especially her husband. This also leads me to question the husbands intelligence. Why in Gods name would he kiss her after he saw her bloodshot sclera? And even if he was ignorant to the fact she had the virus in her, did he not see she was strapped there, covered in cuts and not her self. Knowing all these things, what brings the husband to kiss her? Its not love i tell you, because he left her to die.
This being said, why did i continue to watch the movie? Well the reason why is to see if it got any better... It didn't! The movie further starts being anti-American when the military forces all the people to run into a "secured" area and then closes the door on half to make it seem as though the American military does not care. This is also where the movie does not make sense to me. Those said people who were left to die in that room did not care to barricade the door. This allows for one infected father to turn into thousands of infected people. Why was the only entrance to that place left open for the one infected person to turn into thousands. The reason I believe is so that the movie can progress its anti-Americanism by showing how the American military would call for Code Red and eliminate not only the infected but the innocent people.
All these reasons and more lead me to believe this movie makes no sense and that it is not worth paying for. Although the the thrills and shocks in this movie are unbelievable and the only part I enjoyed, this movie gets a 2 out of 10.
