Inferior to the first

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2010)

A downgraded sequel to 28 Days Later, it manages to look and play the same, but it just doesn't live up to the first, not to mention its nowhere near as scary.
Instead of 28 days, its now been 28 weeks since the virus broke out. People are returning to London, for its been secured from the virus, and is ready to return to its original life, although still under surveillance of the U.S. Army.
There's a deeper plot where a woman turns out to be a carrier of the Rage virus, and comes in contact with one other person, which spreads more and more until mostly everyone is infected. This leads the U.S. Army to have no choice but to kill off anybody they see, even civilians that aren't infected, for a precaution to make sure the virus doesn't spread again.
Thats one thing I thought was incredibly stupid. The army becomes the main enemy, not the virus, which makes it nowhere near as creepy or thrilling. Its a lot more gory, and has a lot more shaky camera, but it doesn't make it that scary, no matter what.
I did like the characters though, but when it comes to surviving from the virus and army, not much character development is available, though I did like Jeremy Renner's character. This won't be the last character Renner plays thats in the army.
This film is mostly for the horror film gore lovers. But if your looking for a good psychological thriller, than this isn't for you. Its not terrible, but its inferiorness to the first just makes it wanna not exist.
