Sadly Over-hyped
Fantastic!
Disturbing yet enthralling
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
28 Weeks Later packs almost the same rage-infected punch of the original. While the camera work is a bit sloppy and the storyline is fairly predictable at times, there are some genuine moments of shock and terror in this movie.
28 Weeks Later is certainly not a bad movie by any means. This is why people's subjective points of view are unneeded. If you want a horror movie with lots of blood and violence, quick editing, choppy cuts, followed by more violence, etc. this one supersedes 28 Days Later by a mile.For me (note: me; what I experienced, not the foreshadowing of your experience) there was a mean spirited vibe throughout the entire film. I felt like I was just watching bodies pile followed by close-ups of brutality with In A Heartbeat (the score from the previous film) being played GOD KNOWS how many times. My biggest gripe was with the thumb-in-eye thing: what the hell? Boyle did this in the first one to show human behavior in a state of rage and survival and how it mirrored the behaviors of the infected. They throw in Don newly infected doing it to his wife while she was strapped to a bed; seriously? From then on the movie leaves horror territory and starts becoming a sadist's playground.
Wow, just wow. I might not've liked "28 Days Later" that much, but compared to this, it's the greatest film ever made! For some reason, the makers of this film decided to treat it's audience like idiots for 100 minutes! I am insulted that I saw this, the fact that this was shown to people that paid money for it insults me. This is easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen, it's up there with "Iron Man 3", "Prometheus", and "Silver Linings Playbook".So what do I like about this movie? Everything before the two stupid kids show up, which is the first 10 minutes. Everything after they show up is pure and utter stupidity.What makes this movie so bad? Oh just give me a minute, I'm about to tear this movie to shreds. Who thought it was a good idea to have a safe zone, surrounded by areas still infected? The US military? Despite what some people think, the US military is not that stupid! And so much for it being a "safe zone", because two kids are able to sneak out without being detected! Also these kids run into their mom, who somehow managed to survive this long. How did she get out of that room full of infected? Never explained, "Huge Plot Hole #1". So because the kids find her, she's brought into the safe zone, every single death from here on out is because of these two brats! If they hadn't left the safe zone (like they were told before they got there), their mom would've been found by the soldiers and handled more appropriately. Also, apparently for a military unit in the middle of a bunch of infected areas, they have no contingency whatsoever other than to fire-bomb the area. Again, the US military is NOT this stupid! So the "Idiot Squad" is about to get picked up by a military chopper, but the pilot only wants Jeremy Renner. So what does he do when one grabs on to the chopper? Fly around radically in circles! Are you serious?!? Military pilots are not trained like that, how stupid does this movie think I am!?! Renner sacrifices himself instead of letting the military know he's one of them. Why? Never explained. I could go on and on about how terrible this frickin' movie is, but the more I think about it, the angrier I get.Watch anything other than this, anything. Watch the first movie, watch "Unfriended", watch "The Shining", watch "The Thing", anything that isn't this piece of trash!
This movie had it all for me. Story, action, violence, tension, suspense. I was entertained from start to finish which is something very few movies due for me now a days. The first movie (28 days later) had an amazing story, and while this one lacks the story a little more than that of the first, everything is made up by just the overall action packed entertainment in this film and all the characters did a great job with their given rolls in the movie. **This movie is violent!! The eye-gouge scene in particular is hard scene to watch so I'd recommend this movie to only hardcore horror fans who are used to that kind of stuff.**I would recommend this movie to any horror fan looking for a suspenseful thrill ride. I can only hope there is a "28 months later"
