Wow. just... wow.

Rating: 4/10 (17 May 2007)

I went into the theatres expecting to see a competent horror film (after all, it had been rated a 7.8 by the venerable IMDb voters at the time). To its credit, the movie starts off captivating. It begins with a cool follow up to the previous movie, which then makes you ask the question: how will the rage virus make its come-back? Unfortunately, the answer to that question is less than fulfilling. What follows are trite, illogical horror movie plot devices that would never, under any circumstance happen in real life. There was one point where I almost walked out of the theatre (when the son zig zags to fool the sniper, then sees his father). I've seen some bad/stupid movies before, and I've never felt like walking out of a movie so bad.
There were just so many stupid things happening to actually be able to enjoy this movie. I really wish it turned out good, as I kinda liked the first one. Plus, the movie was set up extremely well, and the writers just kinda threw it all away with the way they chose to bring the virus back.
Anyway, I tried not to spoil the horrible plot for those of you who still want to see it. Basically, if you generally don't like horror movies (regardless of if you enjoyed 28 Days Later), do not see this.
