A few cheesy scenes couldn't spoil 28WL for me

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2007)

Immediately, 28WL grabbed me with the familiar sense of abandonment and helplessness that I felt in the first film. The crude actions that lead one to survival in the midst of the infection. The motivations of the characters were more personal.
The action scenes were more violent, the infected just as violent but held more intensity, and the plot drove through the film like a Japanese bullet train. Unfortunately, the chaotic scenes between the infected and non-infected were not shot as clean as the first. Danny Boyle did a better job in respects to making chaos look clean.
At times, it was difficult to collect my thoughts b/c of the fast pace. Several hoaky and unrealistic scenes took away from the film, but not enough to walk out of the theater disappointed. If you liked or loved 28 Days Later, I highly recommend spending the $10 bucks to see 28WL on the big screen to form your own opinion.
