I am 28 weeks later

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2008)

This film is good. I have given my comment a bit of a cheeky title as it is very very similar to 28 weeks later. Although it is pale in comparison. It still is good. Will Smith did a good job but I am getting a little bored of his 'save the day' characters as they are getting all a bit samey. It was great seeing New York empty and Will got his characters isolation across quite well "please speak to me". It was quite creepy but and there are some good suspense moments but the zombies were all a bit odd looking. Very CGI which was a bit disappointing, the same as the lions.
I loved the bond between the dog and Will and how we discovered how the army evacuated New York. Very scary.
The ending was very typically American, giving the glimmer of hope in the 'Village' type community in Vermont, where the little Irish woman has the cure. Where as in 28 weeks later, the disease has just spread into France and it looks as though there is no hope.
All in all, quite a good film. I would watch it again on DVD.
