You gotta be kidding me!

Rating: 3/10 (22 December 2007)

This film was below average at best.
Typical European liberal nonsense adorns this one. First, London is now a contaminated area and the UN, headed by the United States, of course, takes over. There is basically a police state where anyone who leaves the cordoned-off area is subject to immediate execution. The bumbling Americans are "studying" the virus. And by "studying", do we have scientists from every Ivy League school in the States over there? No. Perhaps doctors from Johns Hopkins, the best medical school on the planet? No. We have a handful of military scientists scampering around like morons to get some kind of idea what the Rage Virus even is. Leading the team of incompetent American military scientists is an even more incompetent team of American military officials who are portrayed as a bunch of trigger-happy buffoons, gunning down their own soldiers and innocent civilians in a frenzy.
Now, as for the plot...well, the beginning sequence is pretty rad. Other than that, it is absolutely lame! The same kids who escape London, end up finding their own mother and she's still alive, go figure. Then, the father turns out to be the one they have to kill in the end. Please. How cheesy can you get?
I'm not even gonna recommend this to those of you who, like myself, regard the original "28 Days Later" as a pretty decent modern day zombie flick. This movie is another subversive attempt to make the American military look incompetent and bumbling, and it fails on every level. Plus, it's not even fun. The only thing that redeems it is the first five or ten minutes, which, as I said, was done pretty well.
3 out of 10, kids.
